That JW`s guy that demonstrated to the deaf people ,about the joys of masturbation or otherwise on video { dont deny it we all do it } when do you think the next video will come out with him demonstrating the evils {or joys } of bestiallity ?
Not that I`m that way inclined ,however I did enjoy his enthususiasm in the masturbation video.
I cant wait to see his next one on bestiallity .

My first experience in going to a church was when I attended a funeral of my workmate in a Uniting Church of christendom
The church was packed and the service was respectful as you would expect , however what surprised me was one of the songs that was sung out of two ,was a song of praise using the name Jehovah ,apart from the eulogy ,speakers etc for the deceased.
So much for christendom hiding Jehovahs name , not making it known.
The name Jehovah has been around for seven centuries since it was first coined in the 13th century long before Jehovah`s Witnesses came on the scene.in the 20th century.

In the 60`s , Australian witnesses I knew used the "American Standard Version of the Bible , simply because it used the name Jehovah in the Old Testament
Why didnt red flags go up then ? We all knew that all crackpot ideas /religions originate in the USA ?
My apologies to all the sane ex-JW`s who have left the cult who are exceptions to this rule.
edit to add : The WTB&TS printed and published a few other Bibles under license ,notably the King James Version , Byingtons Bible ,and if I`m not mistaken the American Standard Version , their may have been more .

As george Constanzis said , if you believe it , its the truth.
As beauty is in the eye of the beholder , I believe truth is in the eye of the beholder too , .and true , it is a perception .
Truth , to many people is what they want to believe , regardless of facts that may prove or indicate otherwise.

nelim ,
I cant speak from experience myself but wasnt their a movie ,Deliverance ,that did show an animal squealing ?
isnt that a natural thing that animals do under such circumstances ?
freddo,
True , the two witness rule is always going to be our loophole in getting out of sticky situations.that we do not want to confront.

Biblical Scholar Claims The Story Of Jesus Christ Was A HOAX Designed To Control The People
by anointed1 inhere is something i found interesting:.
biblical scholar claims the story of jesus christ was a hoax designed to control the people.

I think the story of an Almighty God , Jehovah/Yahweh was a hoax designed to control the people that spawned offshoots such as Jesus ,Allah ,and whoever else since the beginning of time.
And thats just considering the Judeo / Christian / Islamic religions .
The same can be said for the multitude of non Christian Religions around the world going back to the beginning of time , that it was all a hoax designed to control the masses ,I can accept that
Thats what politics is all about isnt it ? Controlling the masses ? As is Religion ?
Religion & Politics go hand in hand ,despite what you hear about seperation of Church and State.
Religion controls people / politics controls people ,put them together and you have a strong voice in controlling a bigger slice of the pie to your advantage.

robrog8999 ,
Then I would suggest to you ,appreciating your response , go to a pro-JW site where you can talk ,communicate with believers of this religion whether it be FB , twitter ,etc.etc, their are plenty places to go including JW.ORG. , so why are you here ? this is primarily an ex JW site.
just asking
