  "That's not the Jehovah I know..."

  by under the radar in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  sometime in late 2014 or early 2015, a video of tony morris giving a talk about giving one's all was released by the borg.

  he was belittling those who had one excuse or another for doing less than (he thought) they should.

  he mocked those who relied on the thought that "jehovah knows my circumstances and he doesn't think any less of me" or some such.

  Thanks, everyone! The videos I found online don't say exactly what I remember hearing (That's not the Jehovah I know!), but they do say something very similar. A paraphrase, if you will. It is possible that he gave this talk more than once and the exact wording was not the same every time.

  If I find the exact video I'm thinking of, I'll post it here.

  Thanks again to everyone's help and comments!

  Does anyone know the exact date of that video, or maybe have a link to it or at least that particular excerpt? I recently cited that statement to a die-hard JW and was immediately challenged to prove it. You know how they claim anything negative is an "apostate lie." I'd like to be able to show them the actual clip so they can see for themselves exactly what he said.

  Thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

  Roman General Titus carried away treasures of the Holy Jerusalem Temple and the Vatican has stored them for centuries

  by Terry in

  an article in the jerusalem post is quite interesting.https://www.jpost.com/jerusalem-report/article-696068.

  according to vatican expert dr. michael a. calvo, those vessels and others found their way to the vatican via another route, after making their way to byzantium: “these include temple candelabra given to pope innocent iii by baldwin i after the sacking of constantinople and the massacre of the christian orthodox population,” calvo claims.

  “temple shofars and utensils; garments of the high priest; the tzitz – a gold plaque with the words kodesh l’hashem (“holy to the lord”); cultural objects, and many other objets d’art, books and manuscripts that the vatican and other churches have appropriated and placed in their own storerooms, libraries, and museums.”.

  Very interesting article, Terry. Thanks for posting it. I agree with those who believe the Vatican should make all its treasures available to serious historians and researchers. I realize that some are too fragile to be "restored" or put on display, but there should be very few that could not be photographed in ultra-high resolution and shared with the public in that way. Most could probably be scanned with special equipment and replicated by digital printers. The replicas could then be displayed so the hoi poloi such as myself could enjoy seeing the "next best thing" in real life, perhaps in a traveling exhibit.

  I'm not nearly as concerned about ownership as I am making the items available for study and for sharing these items with the public.

  Lloyd's expression is the very definition of a leer. I guess it's possible the young lady is of legal age, but I would be quite surprised if it turns she's not a sex worker. She has that "not entirely thrilled to be here" look about her.

  Suit, shirt and tie

  by JoenB75 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i always hated suit, shirt and tie and wondered why men of all walks of life should be forced to wear these uncomfortable clothes and spend the money on them.

  it should be remembered some of the worst people wear them, like creepy joe, putin, dirty corrupt frauds in business, law etc.

  and of course al capone.

  I own two very nice, but not extravagant, suits I bought a few years ago at Men's Wearhouse. One I wore when my sweetheart and I committed matrimony, and the other I wore when I was my son's Best Man at his wedding last year. Other than those occasions and a couple of funerals, they've remained unworn and hanging in suit bags in my closet.

  I'm retired, so suits and ties are brought out only when a special occasion demands it.

  First, I feel deeply sorry for the hurt and humiliation this debacle has caused Lloyd's wife and children and other family. They did nothing to deserve this, but they will suffer just the same. It's entirely his fault, and trying to lessen his guilt by defaming his wife and blaming the Borg just makes him look worse. What a pitiful excuse for a man...

  That said, I also viscerally resent the damage he has done to the ex-JW movement. No matter how factual and truthful his prior arguments were against the Watchtower's authoritarian mind-control and money grubbing ways, he will be pointed at for years as an example of what happens to someone "who leaves the Truth™." The damage he has done to the reputation and efforts of all ex-JWs combined may exceed the good he did by exposing Watchtower's dishonest and self-serving policies about child abuse. I wonder how many more will now refuse to listen to anything an ex-JW may say. His immorality and hypocrisy will be used to discredit and undermine us all. Irrefutable facts won't matter if presented by someone even tenuously connected with him, regardless of how strenuously they disavow his actions.

  And that's a damn shame.

  I can hear it now...

  "Jehovah's organization has lovingly arranged to provide these kits to help you and your family stay healthy and active in serving Kingdom interests. There is a suggested donation of what you would have paid for these kits if you bought them yourself. May we count on you to honor Jehovah with your unrighteous riches?"

  Is Flipper himself on Facebook? I’d love to reestablish contact with him. I always enjoyed his posts. Maybe one day this covid thing will blow over and my wife and I can join the gang at one of his famous Apostafests. 😎
