What was the point of the bunker video

by Crazyguy in

they get caught by the bad guys at the end anyway, don't get what thier point is to the video?

of course i haven't seen it all they way either.

The bunker video was produced to set the rank and file up for what is coming down the pipeline. WT will eventually have to answer for the child abuse cases. When they do, they will pull the persecution card out and use it to what they think will be to their advantage.

"freedom is a grand thing to celebrate!

" we came from a culture that we couldn't be 'independent.

' but we made it!

Celebrating with our "evil" neighbors tonight. Funny, we were invited to the neighborhood event but nothing from our "loving brotherhood" in years.

MY BEST FRIEND

by compound complex in

jw

he walked right past me, looking straight ahead.. years before, hal and i walked the same path, the best of pals.

laughing and joking while endeavoring to maintain some level of decorum during our serious work of being a theatrical spectacle to men and angels.

although we hadn't seen each other in years, hal must have gotten word .

That is sad. So sorry you were treated this way. Who does this to other people? For sure, not a Christian.

I feel your pain. My kids will never be the wonderful and spectacular need greaters, pioneers, bethelites, etc. They could NEVER measure up to the "exemptluary" ones in the family. The one thing they DO have is jobs, health insurance, 401k, education and most importantly humility. Their dad and I are proud of them and let them know it. No one can take or diminish the pride we feel towards our children. We were always taught as JW's to have humility, yet it seems none of the JW's have that quality. When we are at a family gathering and the brag fest starts about what little Johnny or Susie has accomplished for "kingdom interests", we all (our kids included) just smile at one another, saying nothing at all.

Enjoy the successes of your children in your own wonderful way. They are YOUR special possession. The hell with what everyone else thinks. Hugs!

"First thing I did upon waking up was get the retirement account going again."

Exactly! We have done the same thing. No one is going to "take care" of you but YOU. Our families are broke and depressed. We refuse to participate. lol

We have several family members that are 100% JW. All day, every day. If you don't have JW stuff to talk about, there would be NO conversation. If you try bringing up something to discuss, then it's "oh, Brother so and so knows how to do that or Brother so and so went through the same thing." Make's me want to scream!

They have no outside contact with the world. No jobs, friends, neighbors...nothing. And if you or a family member ever accomplishes anything, forget it! "Brother so and so did it also and much better than anyone else." GAG!

Rant over.
