I was checking out the request for funds=May JW.org talk. Man gives me the heebie jeebies. He was once told to use more expression when he spoke and pause and smile lot, lift his eyebrows, ENUNCIATE so his lips could be read from space. EWWW.

How did he ever get to that position when he is just so disturbing to even look at with the volume off? And LORD, when I put the volume on,its just 10x worse.

WBTS / JW views never quoted as good source of information
by menrov innot sure if my title is correct.
what i noticed is that in say secular bible research documentation, books, lectures etc, one never (or at least i have never read it) reads a quote from one of the former or current wbts leaders nor do i ever see a reference to one of their publication (unless it is article about the jw/wbts itself).. for example, if you read a book on a bible theme or topic written by a scholar or other bible teachers/professors from prof xyz, you will find often in these books a reference to publications / statements / quotes from other scholars or professors.
but never have i seen a reference to say a wt publication or quote / statement from one the leaders of the organisation.. so, despite the million page printed or conferences organised by the wbts, the material apparently is never considered of value to others or to use as reference material.. in my view, that says a lot..... or am i wrong?

THey have no respect in academia as they are not actually bible scholars, but bible twisters. Its different, no matter how they prefer to see it. -

All Seeing Eye on WBTS Video!
by Alan Forbes ini was on the jw.org website today and decided to watch a video entitled 'respect jehovah's authority'.
to my surprise approximately 3mins 25secs into the video, as the opening title began to fade, a symbol of the all seeing eye (eye of horus) appeared on the screen.
the scene was not set in egypt, but in a hebrew tent in the wilderness where praise was being sung to jehovah!!

IT just looked like a graphical print (border) that had a vague shape in the middle that could be seen as the all seeing eye, but I really don't think it was meant to be-it looks like a continuous pattern accross the page, not just an eye in the middle. -

Simon, the old arrangement was what was getting them into trouble. I forget the reason why, but there were lending laws or the non-profit (scam) involved, I think. The new one is skirting that trouble. Its not a loan and they aren't paying a mortgage, but making a free will donation.Theoretically. All the guilt tripping is allowed in churches and other non profit or ministry in general, so long as it is legal. -

My ex-wife... and I'm the apostate?
by Anony Mous inso, my ex-wife, which if you remember me fought hard together with the jw's to (unsuccessfully) wrest control over our child.
we're now 3y later, my legal rights have been affirmed a few times in court.
a few months ago, my ex asked me if i was okay with her having someone else in her life.

Stuckinarut, there was a recent Redcliffe in Israel about JW baptism at a war memorial.went to court after the second venue was objected to by locals. JWs won, but the fact that they scheduled a baptism in such a place seems kind of like they were picking a fight. Baptism at a war memorial? Not just named that way, they are serious about those places in israel. Plus, it was Israel! They won't baptize in the Jordan river? I really think they were looking for persecution. -

Kaik, you are right. In our country, there are more Arab Christians than muslims, though they often can be found in the same neighborhoods like Desi people do. For all the media, you will find halal food next to Hindu and Christian holiday festival items in a lot of Indian stores. The diet is nearly identical and so are many traditions - because the are Indian, not Muslim or Hindu or Christian. That Americans are often ignorant of such things is too bad, but we are learning.
