I love this video...I always thought of it as satire. Mark Metcalf is phenomenol!! I remember the huge brouhaha over the Thriller video...it was at the peak of Michael Jackson's JW era, and people were going crazy over the demonistic images in the video...sheesh!

Oh, those demonic 80's videos...
by CaptainSchmideo inback in the glorious mtv 80's decade, i was just hitting my twenties.
a district overseer gave a talk at a circuit assembly about, of course, "music that debases.
" he specifically zeroed in on this particular video:.

A message for Stand For Pure Worship

As I said before...SFPW is either a master satirist or an insanely rabid JW apologist. I am starting to think the latter as the satirical trolling is getting old.

Disfellowshipping
by Legacy ini wanted to know if anyone on here was df'd or know of any who were...why i ask is because many of the friends i have spoken to, say it's not done, just like that.
it's a process.
i have spoken to a re-instated sister and she said by the time they see you, you are pretty much out.

A House Divided Against Itself Falls-Luke 11:17
by Stand for Pure Worship inthat text reminds me of one of a handful of problems peculiar to the ex-jw community.
second only to the wild beast's internal divisions, is the divided makeup of the ex-jw populace.
you know the one thing that indicates jehovah's blessing upon the worldwide association of kingdom proclaimers, is not only the continued success of the preaching work, but along with it the unity and love amongst the brothers and sisters.

What's with all the JWs unleashing the hate!?
by Julia Orwell inmost of us here on jwn, while we can get a bit narky at times, can put forth intelligent arguments and sound observations.
sure we can get bogged down with our opinions, but generally we back up our opinions with examples and evidence, and if someone has a different opinion with examples and evidence, we accept that without recriminations.
that's what adults do.. so my question is, why in the last week or so, have a couple of posters claiming to be jws come onto this forum and berated, spewed hate and judgement, and in some cases verbally attacked members personally?

The new translation of John 17:3 seems like a major shift.
by paul from cleveland inup until now, everlasting life was dependent on "taking in knowledge".
it was a perfect fit for a publishing house to interpret that scripture that way.
if we didn't keep up with the endless stream of publications from the watchtower our salvation would be in jeopardy.

John 1:1 still says "a god", but is footnoted with "was divine".

REACTION from my neck of the woods...
by problemaddict inas some of you may know i am in the midst of a fade, working on the family coming along (new thread to update there).
most mf my close friends are still jw's to varying degrees.
i would say most are couples that are around our age (25-35), and they attend maybe 90% of the meetings, go in service on sat, pioneer in april, and have a couple bible studies etc... in general the good kind.

My mother wasn't crying, but she had to tell me the "exciting" news...the WTS has published a brand new Bible that is the most accurate ever produced!! She also can't wait to get me my own copy. I didn't have the heart to tell my 83 year old mom anything that would burst her bubble. It is just such a shame for this type of adulation from a woman that has given 60 years of servitude to an organization that could care less about her.

i see that the wts has finally embraced that demonic form of information dispensing.

I have to admit that this app is actually very good. It allows comparison between the NWT and 5 other translations (Reference Bible, Kingdom Interlinear, Byington, American Standard and King James). I am actually surprised how user friendly it is...and that it actually allows these direct comparisons of verses. You can also view footnotes with a tap of the finger on the annotation .
I also see that there is an appendix featuring on specific subjects. I found the one entitled "The Divine Name in the Christian Greek Scriptures" to be interesting. The WTS is obviously sensitive to the criticism they have received for inserting Jehovah in to the New Testament. The answer is both ambiguous and arrogant, but they do take it on.
I think this app will be a very useful one to use in talking to our JW friends and relatives...it is hard to claim we are "twisting" words to deceive right hearted ones when those words come directly from the app the WTS has published and released!
