In view of what Paul said to the Ephesian Christians about wicked spirit forces, would it be reasonable for a modern-day Christian to have records in his personal collection that exalt demonism and spiritism? If he knows that some groups are deeply involved in occult studies and practices, would it be safe to assume that none of that influence would creep through into the lyrics, the beat or even the record-album cover?

The last convention video,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d43EyGZTXL4

Plagiarized the sound from this album:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UdtlQWTJD4

(Listen past 36:15)

This is the Album Cover:

I know many of you are non-believers (myself included), but remember the time when you were a believer. I would have been scared of this picture and would have thought the album was Satanic or something...

MAJOR FAIL!

Plus the plagiarism, of course. They might have bought it, but who knows.

At best, it's poor investigation, at worst, it's plagiarism.

when i first saw the video, i was like, "wait... is that her... panties showing through the dress"?and it seems like it is so.turns out that if you look at the middle right of the video, there are some letters.

it reads, "footage provided by pond5".if someone wants to purchase that video to confirm, you can purchase it here:http://depositphotos.com/63621499/stock-video-violinist-girl-walking-through-a.htmli think that this was a royal mess up because i doubt they would put footage of a sister in a skimpy, revealing dress.doesn't the gb approve this?this will probably go down as another of the "subliminal images"...if there are thongs in paradise... might not be so bad after all!.

Here's the thing: the video supposedly portrays paradise, where everything is "perfect" according to JW standards. There are a lot of detaila in the video that are just non-sensical or may be considered "new light"... For example, there's cheese among what the dubs are eating in paradise. I thought there wasn't going to be animal products there?

Also, wouldn't a dress that is thin enough to show the panties not be allowed in the JW paradise? Especially if those panties are thong-like (not granny panties)?

If the GB doesn't allow that for visiting Bethel, or probably for any occasion where the person is outside the home, the fact that it is on the "paradise" video is a major fail.

If they bought stock video, then they should have made sure that the stock video did not contain elements they wouldn't approve of.

I am criticizing based on their own standards.

New Bible, In Spanish.... Why taking so long?!

by Doubtfully Yours in

is it possible it's not like they initially said, that it was just having god's name added in places where it had been deleted, and that perhaps they're making more adjustments to it in order to fit our doctrine?.

come out with the freakin' new bible in spanish already!!!.

They brought out the Portuguese RNWT tho... so... it doesn't make sense.

Evolution is a Fact #7 - Human Egg Yolk Gene

by cofty in

exploring the human genome is like roaming around an historic town.

some places are pristine and obviously still in everyday use.

others have been unused for a while and starting to show signs of decay and if you look carefully there are relics of buildings that were abandoned long ago.. in this post we are going to look at a gene that we still carry in every cell in our body but which fell into disuse 10s of millions of years ago.. humans are placental mammals.

Evolution is a Fact #6 - Human Chromosome 2

by cofty in

part 1 - protein functional redundancypart 2 - dna functional redundancypart 3 - ervspart 4 - smelly genespart 5 - vitamin c.

the big book of how to build a human - your genome - is approximately 3 billion letters long.. the text is arranged in long molecules of dna called chromosomes.

each letter of code in a chromosome is joined to its compliment - a to t and c to g - and the whole string is arranged in the iconic double-helix shape discovered by watson and crick in 1953.. our chromosomes come in pairs, one from our father and one from our mother.

Maybe I'm Just Ignorant About the New "Anti-Gay" Video

by turtleturtle in

jw
friends

homophobia (m-w.com):.

: irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals.

can someone tell me, specifically, was homophobic about the new "anti-gay" wt video.

ILoveTTATT2

Here's my opinion on this:

Simon implies that there is no discrimination because the mom tells Sophia to tell her classmate about pandas.

I can see a couple of things happening.

Suppose Sophia goes and tells her classmate about the pandas. Her classmate, being a kid, is like "cool! I want to pet pandas too! How?"

And Sophia goes, "Well, you have to follow Jehovah's rules. And Jehovah's rules say that no one who is practicing homosexuality can go into paradise."

"Girl is like, but my two mommy's are gay!"

Sophia says, "well, they can change and please Jehovah, and you can be in paradise with them petting pandas"!

girl says: "what happens if they don't change?"

Sophia: "well... (Hesitates)... The Bible says they will be destroyed at armageddon."

The classmate gets scared, has trauma thinking that her moms are going to be murdered by God.

Scenario 2:

Kid being raised by JW's sees this video. He knows that he likes boys, not girls. He feels horrible and prays and prays to Jehovah to make him like girls, but to no avail.

Whether discriminatory or not or homophobic or not... The fact is, this video can result in extreme harm, up to and including suicide.

On another note, the Spanish Wikipedia suggests that the word "homonegative" be used instead of "homophobic" because of the first response of lots of people being "it's not a phobia"!

Cofty, you likely get pissed off when people say "it's only a theory" regarding evolution.

Let's leave semantics aside and focus on the potential harm this video could cause.

I see many good reasons why the video should be denounced.

I agree with SBF, they could STFU about homosexuality.
