  now i have always kept to myself discussing and speculating about this with any witness.

  i am speaking of the very talented musician prince.

  i remember watching the naacp awards one year ages ago and hearing him thank the one true god jehovah and falling off my couch.

  Maybe Prince saw thew magazine that says some people wasted their time fighting for equal rights when they could have been doing more field service.

  Are the writers in the writing department purposely misquoting people?

  after reading that great post about the june 1 article on science i got to thinking.

  although it is great to believe there is this huge group of guys in the jw writing department that are constantly looking to mislead us by twisting the words of scientist etc... i really think it is more likely they are google researchers that do not have the ability to grasp the thoughts that are being expressed in the scientific article they quote mine from.. i honestly believe the reason that this happens is because of the individuals they use to write these magazines.

  these are not college educated men.

  It's not just Google. It is just a matter of them looking for a sentence that supports what they want to say with little to no concern for the entire point of the article the are getting it from

  I honestly believe the reason that this happens is because of the individuals they use to write these magazines. these are not college educated men. They are not men who have backgrounds as amateur writers for the most prt either.

  My former assistant overseer at bethel Carlos West has been in the writing department since around 1999. He didn't write as a kid... He didn't even take any community college classes. He did however brown nose his way into the position. He made a friend in Ralph Walls and made sure at lunch and in every single interaction with everyone he spoke to he brought up his desire to be in the writing department. I swear to Shango that once he became a NAME amongst the "heavies" he would sit in his office in 30 cleaning with a fucking thesaurus reading through it is an effort to improve his vocabulary. He had no shame in telling us that is what he was doing. He even encouraged others to do the same thing in an attempt to better themselves.

  In 3 years he went from having a normal voice that anyone from Illinois had to a slower and slightly higher pitched drawl that gave off an aire of intelligence as if he was trying to convince everyone he was something he was not. Let's not even touch on his constant use of the word mastication at lunch.

  Once he finally got there he would always state how these "writers" like himself were just ordinary men that Jehobo was using in an extraordinary way.

  Maybe he was right. These writers are just ordinary guys who like him wanted to do something they had no qualifications to perform adequately. In turn, a make believe sky God gave them the ability to be great Google researchers that can find the sentence or paragraph they need to prove the thought they have in their head, without worrying about what the full thought that is being expressed.

  besides who would believe these guys have the time to read and fully grasp these articles and quotes they get from these journals.

  Who are the people in JW TV videos?

  by HappyDad in

  2. friends

  out of curiosity, i have caught a glimpse or two of the "drama" style videos.

  are the ones in these televised "dramas" jw's or did they hire actors for the job?

  i can't see the average jw being able to do acting as good (if you will call it good) as some of these people.

  or do they regard them as they do ultra conservative jews and not waste their time with them, since as a people, they willfully abandoned jesus christ?

  Before I left I was the elder assigned to overseeing the growth of our Arabic group. We had specific direction from the branch to preach to Muslims and they even had a brother from turkey visit with us for a full month and educate the publishers on Arab customs and a lot of how to reach the heart of Muslims.

  We we had a huge Arab population in our surrounding cities. We got to the point that we were having 6Arabic meetings a month Sunday. 2 theocratic schools. However it crumbled because there was an issue with a number of sisters and brothers who were getting to deep in the Arab culture.

  Not just the clothing and the language but there was too much extracurricular activity. The c.o. Who handles Arabic groups became alarmed because they realized that after going on the studies he realized the Arabs and Muslims were really preaching to the witnesses. They lost 8 publishers to Islam around the same time in 2012. After a number of issues etc... They shut the group down and said they would let us know when to revisit the idea of the group .

  Why are people burning their city to the ground in Baltimore? How doe Looting and Mob Violence Help?

  by PokerPlayerPhil in

  it's hard enough for businesses to enter these areas the government once had to offer up tax breaks to service them.

  in watts, california it took decades for city residents to get a grocery store after the thugs burned their businesses to the ground.

  you can see the insanity taking place, when you allow mobs and fools to burn building down nothing good comes from it.

  What about this case in nj? Two police randomly pull a black guy and beat him up and threaten to shoot him. Repeatedly yell "why are you reaching for my gun" when he was down on the ground.

  Mind you after going through similar and seeing similar things happen fairly regularly in NJ in the past it is impossible to tell me that the rate of this happening to blacks is linked to income and not the color of their skin
