I can't believe the authorities didn't wait for the secret knock response before coming in.
Seriously, that video is going to scare the bejeebus out of a lot of dubs. I know a lot of dubs that believe the the GB know more than they share and that the GB only give out information as it is needed. That kind of dub will see these videos as 'food at the proper time' and who knows how that will affect them.
This just feeds their fear and makes life even more difficult for those of us who have left.

Oh and one more thing I was thinking. The main elder, forgot his name, just comes off as creepy, like a bad guy on a tv show about a cult. Same thing with the guy who comes in with his wife to give a report. They both look like 1950s Mr Rogers cult leader types to me. Of course that only my humble opinion.

I just watched the whole 27 minutes. Wow, my mind is spinning with how manipulative the videos are and how they appear to emotion.
I think they'll really get some of the more nuttier dubs really worked up with this kind of talk and even the regular dubs will be looking for the end to come pretty quick. Once it doesn't come they'll slowly sink back into their regular apathy.
I expect a whole new generation of dubs to hide literature in their walls, basements and attics in anticipation of the end.
That was a disgusting video
millie2105 hours agohere is something i just found out this week.former belief - field service is a publishers inalienable right new belief - field service privilege can be taken away if person styles hair or wears clothing in a way that is deemed metrosexual.i was pretty much dumbfounded.. this was posted on another thread, so i decided to start a new topic about this.
i think this is amazing!
i wish this was in place when i was a kid.
I agree with Sir82. We would tell someone who turned up for the meeting for field service dressed inappropriately to go and change or stay home that day. But, since the preaching work is a directive from J the elders didn't have the right to stop someone from participating in general due to overall dress/grooming. Even if someone was on reproof. It was even talked about that disfellowshipped persons preach and it would be up to J if he accepted their service or not; but of course the DF would not be allowed to join the witness group.
Of course, it's all crap and control mechanisms.

how was your wedding?
did you have a jw wedding or something different?
my wedding was not what either of us wanted at first, but it turned out very lovely.
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.
I hope the more "mainstream" they become the more sick of them people will become.
Like that other thread where the lady wore that huge jayuu.org lapel pin for her medal ceremony with Obama. WTF is up with that!

Please remember I don't agree that homosexuality is a sin and I have taught my kids to respect most people's lifestyles, but in doing so I taught them that other people do view homosexuality as a sin.
FMF, my wife is a dub. She finds homosexuality disgusting. I've had to work hard to counter her influence with our kids. I do not take this subject lightly; not that I was accused of that.
Holding outdated moronic non-biblical or biblical teachings as truth and raising your children to believe them may indeed be moronic but I don't feel it's discrimination.
Isn't defending speech we don't agree with as important as defending speech we do agree with? Isn't the defending of speech/ideas/actions (that are lawful) that we don't agree with the real test of freedom and liberty?
Anyway, those videos suck. My kids watched one or two at my inlaws house and they laughed pretty hard at the cultiness of it all. I caught hell for that,since everything bad is my fault.
i want to spare you a long post about my background.
because this topic is about something else.a small information is that i knew ttatt before i got married.
but then i somehow pushed it back for quite some time because i didnt want to change my life and it was convenient to instantly meet new people when you move into a new city.couple of years into my marriage and seeing all the changes in the jw my thirst for ttatt resurfaced.
Damn DJS you are cold!
Sorry to hear about this Nevaagain. I hope you both get through this with as little stress as possible.
