silly observations from that '1975' video...
by undercover inokay, so everyone is bent out of shape about how the wts is re-writing their history on their past failed predictions (1975).
other threads deal in all the evidence to tear apart their shameless propaganda, so i won't dwell on that here.. but, what i will do is list a couple of observations, silly as they are, that aren't about the propaganda so much as it is about the set design, and costume design.
feel free to add to the list.. early scene where the wife is dying.

Im "Going To Die In Armageddon"
by pale.emperor in3 missed calls from my jw brother last night.
i didnt answer because he's actively shunning me and when he does ring it always to preach to me about how we're so close to the end and how i should "humble myself before the mighty hand of god" .
he then texts me saying "we need to talk".

Reverse shun these arseholes. Send a message saying that you can't morally associate with them and would appreciate if they could respect your beliefs.
They hate it and find it completely disempowering.
No way would I allow my relatives to speak to me in such bigoted, downgraded, patronising terms.

Feigning illness to miss a meeting
by dozy inas jws , we all remember the thought of dragging oneself out of bed on a nice sunny sunday meeting or getting home tired after a hard day at work contemplating another boring , pointless , repetitive weekday evening meeting.. as the only legitimate reason for missing a meeting is illness , the only way for anyone to avoid a meeting that they really couldn't be bothered to go to ( ie most of them ) is to "pretend" to be ill. so given an average meeting attendance of 60% or so , invariably many people would be missing , presumed dead ( or "ill".
we used to have a congregation game of football ( soccer ) on a sunday afternoon and it always amused me how many jws who were "too ill" to attend the meeting on the morning would suddenly recover , lazarus style , to play without exhibiting any signs of the apparently near fatal acute health condition of that morning.
one of the more officious elders tried to introduce a rule that the only ones who could play would have to have been at the meeting that morning , but in practice it was very difficult to police and the better players tended to be the ones who missed most meetings.. one of the problems was the risk that some well meaning and / or nosey jw would phone up ( or even turn up , unannounced ) at the house to see "how you were" and clearly it didn't go down too well if they found you in rude health chasing the dog or kids around the garden..

I remember groups of witnesses playing football in Scotland. They were dirty bastards that hacked the ankles off folk. Elders too.
Just an obvs.

What Was/Is The Dumbest JW Belief?

almost any prophecy publication but especially anything to do with revelation, is unbelievable!

How do the GB micro-manage people's lives today?
by UnshackleTheChains inhow do the gb micro-manage people's lives today?one example is their micro management in dress and grooming.
eg their view of beards.
elders in most congs will take a brother to a corner and remind him why jws don't grow beards.

Don't say this, don't say that.
But let your children die by refusing medical treatment and shun your relatives if they don't believe the same things as you do.
= JW priorities.

Jehovah intervened in Russia
by Sour Grapes ini saw the recent video that the borg put out about the trial in russia and how pleased the russian brothers were that a member of the gibbering booty, brother sanders, came to support them for six days.
well, there was a one-day delay in the trial which enabled the russian witnesses to have the memorial in their kingdom halls.
well, brother sanders was very quick to point out that it was very evident that jehovah intervened to enable the brothers to celebrate the memorial.

Yes, he intervened in Russia so they could have their memorial.
He's just having more difficulty intervening in say, little girls praying to be spared sexual abuse. Also, having a little problem intervening in malaria or widespread poverty.
Really gets his priorities right does Jehovah.
Sicko.

Are there 'ultra strict' congregations?
by jambon1 inwhen i studied as a young adult, it was in one of those congregations.
having viewed the religion as a quaint little band of christians it conpletely dumbfounded me when i was told about such rules as 1 - no beards.
2 - you must wear a suit to meetings and while giving a talk.

One really nice brother left our hall as he liked to wear a non matching jacket and trousers and was persecuted for it by the elders.
The guy looked smart and neat and clean and smelled fantastic. Unlike the pish stained suits the elders wore.

I just didn't understand such an invasion on personal choice. To my shame I conformed. I wish I'd told them to ram it up their arse.
Our hall was absolutely famous in the area for an elder implemented rule that forbade a brother giving a talk while wearing a mis-matching jacket and trousers. Also, they had a white shirt in the cloak room for any visiting elders who showed up to give a public talk wearing a coloured shirt.
Needless to say, the place was filled with rampant hypocrisy, favouritism and nepotism among the elders and their families.
I moved from there to a more 'wishy-washy' congregation shortly after joining the religion

Marc & Cora on YouTube causing unnecessary divisions
by jambon1 inwhat is it with this pair?
why do they have to constantly have a bitch about guys like john cedars?
a very recent video of them shows them calling him a 'village idiot' and making other disparaging claims.

On the topic where all the mud slinging was spotted (Russian ban) Lloyd doesn't half nail the issues in one of his latest short videos posted below.
In my opinion it shows approaches like Marc and Cora to be ill thought out and full of biterness and anger.
