Oubliet,
with that logic, absolutely anything done by the JW should be condemned as they are a cult. On of the main reason I have left the JW was because they used to take things in bulk and call it evil. Everything from the world, even birthdays are bad.

I agree that it is a high control group, that it does destroy families and that provides a loop hole for child abusers... This forums has plenty of legitimate subjects that are harmful to the Watchtower. I simply do not see anything wrong with this video.
JW visitors to this site will simply see the "Apostates" as complaining about everything and anything and this will reduce the impact of our complaints concerning truely legitimate subjects as you hilited.

Well, to be honest, I thought that was alright. You know, not everything the JW produces is worth bashing and this little animation is not bad at all.
Yes, many of them act like complete jerks and everyone knows about this; thus, they are making these videos.
As for this dumbing things down... common... this is a light break in a boring meeting program that last 2 hours in the middle of the working week late in the evening... why not?
it was for a dear friend of the family that i have known all my life.now, bear in mind that i was born and raised jw, so my experience with catholic ceremonies can be counted on three fingers, a wedding, a "regular" mass, and this funeral mass.once they got down to the actual speaking about the deceased, i felt emotionally involved, but prior to that, i was watching and had questions about aspects of the services (these i have seen in common for all three times i have been in an rc church):why the "sing-song" voice during the prayers?
does god hear it better if you sound all spooky tenor?i observe that every time a reading from one of the gospels takes place, it is preceded by a big musical number:"alleluiah!
alleluiah"( "and nowwwwwwwwwwwwwww, heeeeeeeeeeeeeere's jesus!".

I always had a problem with the way the claim to be helping for disasters as there is no clear reports on the actual cost and transactions generated by the events. Its always general, very general as in "100 houses were rebuilt or fixed". I have seen this very often and that statement is amazingly broad in meaning.
At my age, I now understand that when an organization purposeful uses broad, non-specific information, then, you should assume the worst!
so where did god exist before he created the heavens?
in the streamed program from bethel uk this weekend, mark sanderson relates the parable from mt 18:23-35 where a master forgives the huge debt of a slave, but when the slave refuses to forgive a small debt owed to himself, the master throws that slave into prison.. look at the details of this parable.. the master is owed 10,000 talents.
this is 10's of millions of dollars, completely unpayable.
this represents our sin which we cannot pay for.. the slave begs for more time, so the master "lets the slave off and cancelled his debt" (vs 27).
Humm, you seem to apply modern concepts to a different time. The king was the king and could change his mind about things he already said. Heck, just for the sake of the argument, lets say the first slave never owed him any monney, ever... as the king, he could still put that slave in jail for life simply "because", i don't know... he didn't like his face.
That being said, if there is one area that the JW do not forgive is when they disfellowship people. They will hold that grudge until you patiently site at the back of their hall for 6+ month, obviously not forgiving freely.
sorry for the long post but i need help.
ive been a jw for 20 years - still active and attending meetings, baptised at 18, i have recently become very dissillusioned.
a few reasons: ill treatment of my kids by a prominent 'assembly speaker' elder, then my son left the truth at 15 (not baptised) and was 'dropped' instantly, despite this community having been his whole life for 15 years.
LHS123.... the situation you have at this moment is far from being easy. There are the obvious difficulties, that is, your baptized daughter and your husband.
Concerning your baptized daughter, I would advise telling her that if she ever was disfellowshipped, you would never ignore her. You could be surprised and perhaps she will leave the truth all by herself in the coming years. In the case of sisters, it often comes down to who she will be dating and marrying.
As for your husband, you reported abuse. Let him know in very clear words that you do not believe in the JW anymore and if he continues his action, you will leave him. Despite all the advises distributed through their talks and literature, many JW brothers rely on the idea that their wives are stuck and become abusive. Thus, perhaps your open willingness to let him will cause drastic changes in his behavior.
Other issues will be every JW you know who will stop being friends... well, join other clubs in activities you like... you will make other friends soon enough. Family and the very close friends you count on your hand: these are the ones that will hurt. Still, you need to confront them. I mean these ones, be in their face and let them know loud and clear that it is them who are ending the relationship: not you. You need to be affirmative, not aggressive. Remind them that the only disfellowshiping reported in the bible was a couple of months and not everyone followed that order given by Paul in one of his letters. You may also tell them that for the great majority of their existence, JW have been strongly opposed to disfellowshiping denouncing the catholic for this.
And in the end, I assure you, the truth will set you free. You will have a different outlook on life as a whole. You will see and understand differently. You will understand that there is plenty of good people doing good things and that in the end, the fruit of the spirit is not measured by meeting attendance and preaching hours, but how you live your everyday life and preaching by your actions, not solely by your words.

Obviously, this would apply to those who called upon the elders for help in kicking there porn habit. This could potentially be documented in some way and thus, they (the elders) would actually know if you watched porn in the last two years.
Still, this requirement simply means that 99% of the brothers submitting to this course will have lied on their form.
