Playing Rugby is one way for poor Samoan men to really get ahead.(young witness would be dscoured from palying) Its a beautiful game to watch but physically demanding (even dangerous) and played with real nationalistic fervour. The Haka (the war dance at the start of the video) would be called as demonic by most witnesses. But Jackson gladly uses the Tonga Samoan riviarly for his own ends. Hypocrite!

We were on holiday from Australia. We went witnessing when we were there, from memory, most of the Samoan brothers wore suits and western garb. Most of the local wear shorts. This video was taken in Western Samoa which is a bit more traditional and more impoverished than the other island of American Samoa. The witnesses from American Samoa have the opportunity to travel to the states and some of the younger brothers had incredibly western style flamboyant suits.

I tried to load this the other day. We were In Samoa at an assembly. My husband did the embarrassing zoom-ins of the legs! Don't you love the cultural misappropriation Wikipedia:Cultural elements which may have deep meaning to the original culture can be reduced to "exotic" fashion by those from the dominant culture. When this is done, critics of cultural appropriation say the imitator, "who does not experience that oppression is able to 'play,' temporarily, an 'exotic' other, without experiencing any of the daily discrimination's faced by other cultures. (Samoa is impoverished but he can come from his ivory castle in New York to play native). At this assembly,we videoed him also using the extremely competitive and physical game of 'rugby union' to get the audiences attention.( Rank and file Jws can't even play violin).

Clarification about two witness rule please .
by jhine ini was talking to a witness the other day , she was explaining about false religion, and the subject of paedophiles came up .
of course she was adamant that the watchtower deals swiftly and decisively with offenders .
i was about to ask if she was aware of the two witness rule and how that is a let off for child molesters when l remembered reading on here that now they accept two different accusations from two different victims .

Rebelfighter, What really gets to me is that the 2 witness rule required myself and my husband to protect the abuser of our child (which included going out in the ministry with this abuser, listening to his public talks, ect, ect) Also being in state of constant tension and dread wondering which children your silence and complicity may put in danger made me physically and emotionally very unwell. I am 3rd gen born in and was put under enormous pressure to "be faithful". The whole processes which should have been handled by policeman skilled in investigating reports of child abuse. Not by this guys best buddies (who all has small daughters and so their daughters where protected by their fathers access to privileged knowledge( just like a clergy class.

A prominent elder visited me at home when my husband was away working and sent the young brother witnessing with him away to visit a witness who lived nearby. While hosbitibliy making him a cup of tea he took the opportunity to sexually assault my small child. My child informed me as soon as he had left the house and I informed the elders immediately. I was told in no uncertain terms that 'I would upset his wife who was ill'. (he has since dumped the so-called sick wife for a younger woman with small children) and my child would not be believed until another child(another witness) come forward with an allegation of sexual assault. We spent 12 years 'waiting on Jehovah' until my now baptised teenager remembered the assault and was accused of being demonised to even think such a thing about Jehovahs spirt appointed elder! I subsequently reported the incident to the police and the Australian Royal Commission. This resulted in such a vicious shunning campaign that we sold our home and moved away.

Sorry I am an absolute Luddite! I tried to delete this post when I realised it wasn't working properly. Just wanted to share an assembly that my husband and I went to in Samoa where Jackson paraded around in traditional skirts. Also. another part of the video shows him using (very enthusiastically) rugby (which is very competitive in Samoa) as a talk and yet they won't let kids play voilins.
