Sadly it will be many with a disdain for Lloyd Evans that are actually ex-JWs that will be the first to take shots simply because he's on it to the exclusion of everyone else that worked on this.

Lol morphs law! Kind of? Are we obligated to love anything branded “ex jw” or “anti witness”? Are we obligated to support llyod because hes “on our team”? Of course some have a problem with the show picking him as a spokesperson. He has zero credibility.

None.

He started off by trying to “steal shine” from ray franz by sticking his name on copies of CoC.

Then he outs faders on facebook just to make his page look important with a lot of followers.

He then writes a book and, in a scam tom sawyer would have been proud of, he charges people to have their stories included. Literally charges people to help him write his redundant, useless, pointless, self aggrandizing book.

He recently tried to take credit for leaks coming from the annual meeting. The probem was, he plagiarized it from a paradoy gorby wrote and so was completetly wrong. When caught, he gave a lame ass excuse. Dumbass.

Seems like theres another reason not want to want him on a show accusing the org of lax child protection policies..

oh yea, hes an admitted pedo(ish) himself. In his own book.

thats the asshat you think is a good representative of ex jw’s? Rick Feron would have been more credible. Barbra has ACTUAL credentials as a former bethelite and activist. There were better choices than the douchiest doche to ever douche.

But anyone who criticizes him is a bad guy? Think Mcfly, think.

What will JJ Abrams and Disney do for Star Wars episode IX?

by LoveUniHateExams in

i heard that jj abrams has finished the screenplay and they'll be starting to shoot the final episode soon.. so where will the story go?.

han solo is dead, snoke is dead, leia can only have a very limited role at best because carrie fisher unfortunately died .... plus, rey has already defeated the main villain once before, in her first lightsaber fight (in the force awakens, because 'ovaries!

', i guess xd).. and she saved his ass against snoke's elite guards (in the last jedi) - so it will be difficult to film any kind of dramatic tension between rey and kylo ren.. i won't be seeing this film in the cinema or buying it on dvd but i am kinda curious how things will pan out .... what do you think?.

Obviously people, like you, who take the time to click on a thread with a title that clearly identifies the topic and who take the time to reply, care.

Business class for Governing Body

hello everyone!

does anyone have any confirmation that the governing body uses the business class for its flights?.

also interesting is the information about the hours that were on the hand of one of the members of the governing body..

Watches does make sense, and yes its been dissected at length. There is no way to tell from the video if it is indeed a rolex of a knock off like an invicta. If ots a rolex the chances that it was purchased with wt money are nil. There is no way sam herd took his wt corporate credit card and bought a rolex. It didnt happen. Did he buy it himself..? Did a well off witness give it it to him? Theres lots of ways he could have gotten it if indeed it is a rolex.

And it has nothing to do with a corporation buying business class travel for its senior execs.

There is something I don't understand about the selling off of Kingdom Halls

by Tameria2001 in

i have been reading where the watchtower is closing down kingdom halls.

there is something that i don't understand, or maybe i am just misunderstanding it.

can someone clear this up for me?

_Morpheus

It depends on how long ago it was. The money very well may have gone to the new hall. It still does under the current system. Whats happening, however, is that new halls are not being built. They are consolidating congregations, selling halls, not building a replacement hall and pocketing the money.

Its trite and i suppose some find it funny to make fun of the average dubs intelligence, to suppose that they dont understand that a kh can be taken from them.

They understand. As a whole they are not idiots and they completely get it. Thats why situations like melano park came up when this sell a thon first came around.

The real tragedy is that, knowing it can and does happen, they accept it.

ECHR Rules Against Free Speech

by cofty in

the european court of human rights ruled against an austrian woman who claimed calling the prophet muhammad a pedophile was protected by free speech.

... the woman in 2009 held two seminars entitled "basic information on islam," during which she likened muhammad's marriage to a six-year-old girl, aisha, to pedophilia.. the marriage according to islamic tradition was consummated when aisha was nine and muhammad was around 50. aisha was the daughter of muhammad's best friend and the first caliph, abu bakr.. the court cited the austrian women stating during the seminar that muhammad "liked to do it with children" and "... a 56-year-old and a six-year-old?

... what do we call it, if it is not pedophilia?".

_Morpheus

Correct. There is a huge difference between a miraculous impregnation of a willing woman, whom the story says was engaged to be married , and the rape of a 9 year old.

Muhammed is in good company............The Christian God is a paedophile too.....he got Mary pregnant at age 13/14 with his son.........LOL

hmmm... interesting that you see some sort of comparability. Lets look at the stories, purely at face value.

god almighty miraculously (meaning no sex involved) impregnates a willing virgin.

Mohamed rapes a 9 year old.

But you see these stories as equivalent?

lets take the stories with a dose of common sense and see if we can make them more relatable.

At worst, a young jewish girl (where you assigned 13/14 as an age is beyond me. The bible mever says. You are assuming based on tradition) ends up pregnant and says “i dont know how!” As a cover up.

Best case its an obvious fairy tale based on similar greek fairy tales for their demi gods and it never happened any more than the births of other greek demigods.

best case with mohamed... at 50 or so years old he raped a 9 year old and called her his wife.

There is no equivalency.

This has already been discussed in detail, including some asinine statements that business class is better than first class. It is not. It is a class of seating between coach and first class.

Of course they fly business class. Do you think they would fly coach? They are heads of a mid size corporation. As rub pointed out, with all the miles they fly, it would be insane to think otherwise.

As for “the hours on their hands”, i have no idea whats that about. Any details you could share would be helpful in formulating a response

your answer didnt add up for me cofty, but i had to think back a little. Its so called “hate speech” laws that im thinking of, but in the end, its the same result. Those laws are being used to sue and/or imprison people who speak ill of ‘the prophet’.

Followers of jesus, while obnoxious at times, dont seem to seek such protection so im not sure why you referenced that particular fellow in your answer. In fact, followers of jesus are not offered such protections so, upon further review, im even more confused as to your reference...
