The flat earthers could use Splanes' classic overlapping introduction when they get started, ' ... Now, let's just assume for the sake of argument..."

From the first 90 seconds of the video it seems the org is making an attempt to work with animitronic robots. The gestures are overly exaggerated and out of sync with the voice which is halting and lacks the flow of human speech. They have a long way to go. Better to have a human hosting their videos.

How Would You Console A Witness Who Has Lost A Loved One?
by minimus inlet’s say that you haven’t been around a kingdom hall in years and everyone knows you are not a “true believer “ anymore.
yet a tragedy strikes and you want to give a real heartfelt expression of your feelings— what would you say?
would you acknowledge the resurrection hope that the witnesses entertain or say something very different?.

flipper said , " ... because the last thing a JW needs is someone feeding them the delusion that their dead loved one is going to come back again. To do that would be reinforcing their fake, pretend beliefs ..."
I say feed their delusions. What difference does it make? It's their delusion. Who cares what anyone thinks about the condition of the dead?
" He loved golfing. He must be in heaven playing golf." Of course he is Fred, and enjoying every minute of it.
" He always said he wanted to spend eternity fishing. Catching record trout every day." That's where he is Tom, sitting in a row boat right now in that great fishin' hole in the sky.
"He is waiting for the resurrection." That's where he is Homer. Waiting for the resurrection.
See? It's easy. Everybody feels great. No harm done. It's not like your feeding Cotard's Delusion.

Why "fancy dress" and "theme weddings" were BANNED by our Congregation!
by Witness 007 inour kingdom hall was in a boring town of 30,000 people so to spice things up me and some special pioneers living with us decided to have a fancy dress up party!
what could go wrong?
nice clean fun, and no booze (oh crap!).

Why were the sisters not wearing head covering like the brothers. That's just plain wrong.

Need help understanding the Overlapping Generation teaching
by Jules Saturn inso this is a topic that seriously boggles my mind and please correct me if i'm wrong.
to me, the jw definition of the overlapping generation teaching is that the lives of the anointed from 1914 overlap with the lives of the anointed right now.
david splane used the example of fred franz and how he finished his "earthly course" in 1992 but while he did, he had a lot of "contemporaries" that outlived him and are currently living today.

At least L. Ron Hubbard had Lord Xenu and 1,000's of thetans flying out of volcano's to occupy our bodies. That makes a lot more sense that Splane and his overlapping generations crap.

New Light - God chose the Bible students as his org long BEFORE the official inspection in 1919
by doubtfull1799 inwas watching this recently done new history of the society - here it is on youtube if you missed it when it first came out:.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv82k1z7n_4&feature=youtu.be.
lots of contradictory and nutty comments - for instance stating one minute that 1914 proved such a faith strengthening event because it fulfilled all their predictions, how encouraged they were, and then a few minutes later claiming the opposite - that many were disappointed and shocked because their expectations were not met!.

The Governing Body's Public Denial Of Being Easy On Childmolesters Will Hurt Them Big Time In Court
by Brokeback Watchtower inlett made a complete public denial of any wrong doing on the part of those directing watchtower policies i think his statement as well as splane's statements of denial to the portugal indoctrinated members certainly shows the evil information he is willing to spill out to keep these matters of serious concern away from their believing public there in portugal.. i feel these videos if they can be used in court cases of child molestation will swing the jury toward megabuck$$$ based on the denial expressed to make these denying ass holes wake up and shrivel up their real estate assets quicker.
these videos make it very plane that these guys are evil and deserve to be given the maximum fine that the jury can award to the victims.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2gqnwvvwtk.

Lett: " As an example think about the apostate driven lies and dishonesty's that Jehovah's organization is permissive towards pedophiles. I mean, that is ridiculous, isn't it ? Isn't it? I really mean it. I really, really mean it. It is ridiculous, really, really ridiculous isn't it. Isn't it? ISN'T IT???? I REALLY MEAN IT"!!!

Scully ...Although the next several weeks will be busier than you can imagine, try to cherish the moments with her as much as you can. It won't be long until she's at 35 weeks or so, and then you could be able to bring her home...
I thought, right on, my daughter is over 30 now. Then I read it again. 35 weeks. LOL. My little girl is 31 years old now and it happened so fast. She was pre-mature at 3 pounds.
