slim: It would be neat if some apostate with skills “extended” the series to where Caleb and Sophia grew up, went to college, acquired critical thinking, and struck out on their own.

Caleb and Sophia have been busy. They haven't had time to make an appearance.
Who do you think designed the new online bibble classes? It had to have been them - it's a perfect fit. Dick and Jane level education.

Some 27 items previously owned by Prince are hitting the auction block -- thanks to The Purple One's old bodyguard -- and the memorabilia is expected to fetch several thousand bucks. For instance, the starting bid for the record alone is $1,500.
One of Prince's Jehovah's Witness Bibles is also in the lot, and is expected to fetch $7k. But the crown jewel of the collection has to be Prince's navy silk suit ... which has a starting bid of $10k!
The auction also includes some of his wedged shoes, cuff links, an ear cuff, a pair of sunglasses and a bunch of Prince's old backstage passes.
Heritage Auctions is behind the online auction ... and bids close July 21.A closer look at the famed bibble:
Get yer bids in!
*pssst....I know where you can get a "free" copy of the NWT - the only thing it will cost you is your entire circle of family and friends. And a "small" contribution to the org. And maybe your life if you happen to bleed too much

Jambo: have you seen this latest crowd of GB members?
A bunch of utterly crazy old bastards. Like, really, sinister, crazy.Oh yeah
Are there any left from "The Children of The King" 1941 generation? Consider Swingle as an (over)lapping old bastard. He was there when those children were talked into making a pledge of allegiance to the Wt's. And how many of them were around for 75?

Youtube videos doing the JW rounds. Gods name
by pleaseresearch inso here in the uk this video is getting jws very excited.

Of course the film has Watchtower connections.

Saying that the film isn't a Watchtower production is like saying a leopard isn't a cat.

silentbuddha: So OrphanCrow how long were you a Jehovah's Witness... just wondering
Born and raised a JW
Left at the very first opportunity (age 13 going on 14) a few years before before Armageddon happened in 75
Been inside a KH twice since then - once when my JW sis married and once when my JW granny was buried
Family members who are still JW
*Nathan...I watch out for drivers just like you. They haven't got me yet

Cain - where's the critical thinking skills?
by jws injust read a post on facebook where somebody is making some wild crazy-talk about the descendants of cain being the beast of revelation or something.. cain was always a strange tale to me.
don't people use any critical thinking skills when they read this stuff?
everybody knows cain killed his brother abel, but do they ever look at the surrounding tale?.

jws: At this point, the population is what? Hundreds at the most...
Where did those "hundreds" of people come from? At "that point"? What point is that?
Weren't Cain and Abel Adam and Eve's first kids?
And, who did Cain marry? In the land east of Eden...the land of Nod.
Who are all those strangers that God was protecting Cain from?? Where did they come from?

wakanda: I think when we reminisce we can get back into the mindset we had at the time, i.e. being 19. Silent could have been thinking about the situation from a non-indoctrinated 19 year old point of view, but still 19. Also, drag comedy is seen a lot in society, and we are sort of indoctrinated to laugh at it. ???
I think that JWs in general are indoctrinated to laugh at things that are "different". I have experienced JW in-laws that have laughed very inappropriately at other people who have had unfortunate circumstances. Their funny bones are attached to their asses. As far as drag comedy in "society" goes...that again is a JW funny bone instead of an understanding of what drag comedy is. Oftentimes, JW humor (that I have encountered) is of the derisive sort. Slapstick humor at best.
I would think that a young Bethelite encountering a doddery old fool at the helm of an organization that has promised them that they "wouldn't grow old in this system of things" would have a rude awakening instead of finding it funny. But no. Instead, those same young'uns just substitute themselves into that promise and believe even more deeply in their own infallibility and eliteness. "Not me! I am young. Of course I will be the generation that escapes old age and death!"
Overlapping generations indeed. (I always think of dogs with their tongues hanging out, lapping up water, when I hear that phrase)

Wakanda, you are right. This highlights how ill prepared the Wt org is when dealing with common ordinary problems.
From silent Buddha's account, there was a lack of understanding at all levels. In an ideal situation, the newbie bethelite would have been educated about what was really going on with Old Man Swingle. But no. All he got was a reprimand and nothing else. Facing the reality of it was beyond anyone's ability
Like I said before, JWs are conditioned to think that the effects of old age will magically be diverted for them. They will never grow old.
Forever 19.

Who said anything about "politically correct"?
I was talking about common human decency
Politics has fuck all to do with manners and empathy
Yes. You were a baby faced 19 year old. A rude 19 year old with no concept about elderly people who have dementia
