JWs at the Movies

so i was watching some of the dramas screened at the be courageous convention, and one caught my eye.. it's the scene where a group of jw teens are watching something deemed as "sinful" at the movie theaters.

there were only sound effects, so i decided to fill in the blanks.. https://vimeo.com/275184883.

bottom line: machine guns = bad.

Oh my God this is hilarious!

Ever notice a lot of JWs stay off the grid?

by blownaway in

every now and then i look on line for people i knew in the kingdum hall.

some are on social networks to a limited deg.

but a lot are not on the web at all.

I've totally noticed this. I think a lot of them have been brainwashed to think social media is evil and are just too scared/guilty to go on. Also as a JW you could only have other JW's as friends on social media or there would be major gossip and probably a visit to the back room of the KH with an elder for some counseling. Plus so many JW's lead a "double life" that they could never truly be free on social media without consequences. No party pictures or talking about that fantastic R rated movie you just saw. I would think social media for a JW would be far to risky and/or boring.

I've been through these tunnels many times back in the 90's. Here is a link to a news article about the filling in of the tunnels:

jw
friends

guess some introduction would be nice, before anything.

i’m a 17 year old men boy raised on a very liberal, highly intelectualized jw family.

currently very anxious on starting medical school at a high ranked public university around here.

Hi, just wanted to say welcome to the forum. Yes I totally know what it's like to be scared to come on here. I was terrified when I first found this place, but it's filled with kind people who only want to offer help or suggestions. No matter what you choose to do you'll be supported. www.jwfacts.com for me really helped a lot. Take it slow and go at your own pace on what you're comfortable with. I now have my freedom and kind of feel a little silly that I used to be so scared just to research my own religion. That for me shows how controlled I was. Why should anyone have to be afraid to simply reach out to understand their own religion better?

Best of luck in your search, I'm sure you'll be very successful no matter what path you choose in life. :)

Pillowgate - John Cedars

by CitizenofEarth in

is this true?

is this really true?!.

To really drive home their point about the dangers of pillows between your legs Bethel is going to put this reenactment into the Pillowgate video. Tony Morris will play the part of John Candy, and Steven Lett will play the part of Steve Martin.

THOSE AREN'T PILLOWS!!!

Matthew 24:34 NEW UNDERSTANDING (January 2018 JW Broadcasting)

by Alfred in

david splane explains newest understanding" of 'this generation" adding a 3rd group.... .

cleanideas

OMG those signs are HILARIOUS! I totally believed the first one when I saw it, and lets be honest, if that actually turned out to be a real new teaching and they added a third tier to the Generation chart would any of us actually be surprised at this point?

Is it just me or are the street sign, road,car verification excessive?

by nonjwspouse in

i must go through six of new verification screens on average before verifying.

i seriously try harder and harder, i don't know if we include the tiny little piece of sign or not.

i have done both,and still get another screen.

cleanideas

I totally thought I was the only one having problems with this and felt so stupid when it kept giving me more screens to click thinking I was messing up. Whew, I don't feel so dumb now. HAHA!

Audio machine and the satanic band WT used!

by Crazyguy in

it's been braught out in other places before that the band audiomachine' song eternal flame was used in the last video of the convention this year.

but do you know that the band has several albums and in these albums are songs with titles that could easily be construed as satanic or pagan!

some of these song titles are: hells battalion, legions of doom, tree of life, god of lankhmar, and the heavens shall tremble.
