  this afternoon i heard on national public radio that poet/songwriter patti smith will be inducted into the musical hall of fame later this week.

  an interview with terri gross from 1996 detailed her early life as a jehovah's witness.

  she spoke respectfully of the jws and her memory of her mother and father and early family life, but spoke candidly that she did not like the teachings and restrictions and never felt she fit in.

  Patti smith is awesome. I had NO IDEA she was raised a JW. Her father is an idiot.

  So according to WT doctrine, If I raped my double, but my double was wearing a mini-skirt, did the clone deserve it???

  Specific banned shows, songs, etc...?

  by AllAlongTheWatchtower in

  i know the society tells people not to listen to rock n roll cause its from teh satan, not to watch r rated movies because they're "worldly", etc.

  but i was wondering if folks had any specific instances where one song, one show, one movie, or whatever was singled out as being particularly 'evil', and banned on an individual basis?

  i was never a jw, but was in the worldwide church of god...the two are rather similar, i've seen many (and made quite a few myself) comparisons on the board; and i can remember as a child that every once in a while certain things would get brought up as being more evil and worldly than others.. examples of specific bans:.

  Halo is a buzzword. The funny thing is that people condemn it because it's rated M but most dubs go to see bond movies which have tons of killing and fornication to boot.

  Know of a commentary on Revelation BETTER than the Rev Climax book?

  by M.J. in

  1. watchtower

  know of a good commentary/analysis of revelation?

  a reference that's faithful to the concept of exegesis rather than eisegesis*?.

  a good antidote to the revelation climax book currently being studied by jws?.

  Anything else, sheez. Sorry, I know this isn't a good answer, I'm just venting. Rev Climax is the biggest piece of speculative bullshit I've ever read in my life. It even admits it in the first chapter, that this "may" mean this, etc.
  
  However, the penalty for going contrary to it is still disfellowshipping, so this is just doublespeak. Their speculation is law, violation of that law being punishable by "eternal" death.

  5g0, the American "market" for converts is exhausted so the most growth is coming from other countries/languages less likely to get anti-WT info. Also, it seems that Americans in general have less interest in religion than Catholic spanish countries, so that makes sense to me.
  
  This is why "foreign language" is such a big deal to the WT right now, it opens up the pool for converts.
  
  Interesting.

  anyone ever been in a meeting and notice the constant head-nodding in zombified agreement that witnesses do.

  it drives me crazy!

  especially since it seems to increase and be accompanied by little "hmmms" whenever someone says something that is complete bullshit.

  being the paranoid, inactive, with alot of family and "friends" still in the org.

  i'm sure it's been discussed before but i don't recall reading on that topic here on jwd.

  i know that fear prevented me from posting while i was exiting as an elder.
