stuckinarut2 Yeah I'm sure it's him. There is an interview on youtube where he is talking about one of his books. I think someone already put a link to it on this thread. (Can't see since youtube is currently blocked for me right now.)

Here is another one of his books that just screams (I'm awake!)
http://www.amazon.com/Average-J-C-Thompson/dp/0692284281/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_2/191-9884258-4970944?ie=UTF8&refRID=0HAYW96YD4738T9YP3E6

It's called "Average" and it's a superhero story. The plot summary is that of a young kid who has no powers, unlike his superhero father. Desperate to understand and gain his father's approval he embarks on a comedic journey.

I'm probably reading too much into that but this sounds like a metaphor for a kid with super zealous JW parents and his quest to try and live up to their expectations.

The " About the Author" section of that link is kind of interesting.
About the Author
J. C. Thompson has been a bit of a compulsive reader/writer since childhood and started making money at it shortly after high school. By day, Thompson plays the role of a personal trainer and fitness writer but sneaks off to secretly write his fiction every night.

Emphasis on He sneaks off to SECRETLY write his fiction every night. Probably just a play on words, but maybe this guy is hiding his fictional writings from the Watchtower society. He may have been banking on the fact that Watchtower doesn't list the actors names in these propaganda films so no one would ever make this connection.

Like others have already mentioned though, I don't think he's doing anything wrong or breaking any Watchtower rules by doing this. Still, the organization is not really known for selecting people like this as their poster boys. I suppose as long as a portion of that book money goes to Watchtower donations, they don't mind.

Good call on the coffee motif. I noticed that only after it was pointed out.
It is a staple during service. They need their caffeine infusion every hour or so
GrreatTeacher It's the perfect company man's drug of choice. Like you said, it's almost a necessity when going out to service. I knew plenty of brothers who needed to get their hands on coffee before doing anything else.

I'm really looking forward to their next movie now just to see if they continue this coffee motif.

2018: "Nor Men Who Lie With Men": Anthony gets a job at a clothing store. All his worldly workmates wear tight pants every day. Anthony is tempted to buy a pair, until he sees Frederique suddenly rushed to the hospital, because his tight trousers shut off circulation to his feet, which are then amputated.
Don't give them ideas!

Thanks. These propaganda films are loaded with so much BS that's difficult not to point out immediately. I'm really curious to see what the 2016 year subject will be.
So far we have:
"The Prodigal Returns" - How young adults should act.
"These Words Must Be on Your Heart" - How parents should act.
"What is True Love" - How people dating and getting married should act.

Your Jehovah’s Witness Is Showing

since i just signed up and posted a few times without doing this yet, here is my story..

i think that i became a jehovahs witness because of my immaturity.

i had some quirky personality traits, and i joined finding that i fit in because, as i said to myself: these people get me.

Excellent post. I noticed this in myself a few months after waking up too. It's one thing if you are directly asked about religion and you decide to respond. However, responding to people who didn't ask for your opinion is really no different than the JW who knocks on your door uninvited. Like everything there are exceptions to this. JWs being one of those exceptions.

using the hilarious song 142 i went ahead and created a sitcom intro about life at bethel.

this is what that song was really created for.

i hope watchtower likes my pitch!

If I can gather enough footage perhaps a full episode can be made.
