Are there any memes picturing Stephen Lett on the JW tv set with the "700 Club" logo in the background? Cuz there totally should be.

Tv.jw.org - Average Jdub reaction? I'm getting NOTHING but Silence!
by 4thgen inhello all, as you know, when jw tv was announced, our board went wild.
many comments, much speculation and alot of negative feedback on the quality, etc.
well, what has me concerned is that i have not heard a peep from any of my connections left in kingdom-land.

Wouldn't that be great if transfusions became the regular treatment? It would wipe out all the uber-dedicated JWs who refused blood. And the winner of the Darwin Award goes to... Okay, I don't really wish they would all die but it sure is exhausting having to deal with their endless bullshit.
But we know what would happen. They would compromise and find a way to justify it by cherry-picking some scriptures. The show will go on.

Inserting the Governing Body in Scriptures
by lambsbottom ina church divided over leaders10 i appeal to you, brothers and sisters,[a] in the name of our lord jesus christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.11 my brothers and sisters, some from chloes household have informed me that there are quarrels among you.12 what i mean is this: one of you says, i follow [the governing body]; another, i follow [the organization]; another, i follow [jehovah's witnesses] [b]; still another, i follow christ.. 13 is christ divided?
was [the governing body] crucified for you?
were you baptized in the name of [the governing body]?14 i thank god that i did not baptize any of you except crispus and gaius,15 so no one can say that you were baptized in my name.16 (yes, i also baptized the household of stephanas; beyond that, i dont remember if i baptized anyone else.

Does the term "governing body" appear in the 'silver sword'? I was thinking it appears, not in any actual scripture, but in a descriptive heading around the book of Acts.

Oh my God, I knew it!!!
by Crazyguy ini am a big fan of the group 30 seconds to mars, and whats amazing is many of their songs seem to have a anti cult theme like "huricane" "up in the air" and others.
so after i watched a video of the song huricane, so i could see the lyrics i googled to see if they, the lead singer jared leto and his brother shannon, were former jw's and yes they were.
crazy small world!!!!.

I'm sorry but it seems pretty silly to say they "faded until 2005" when Jared was a TV heartthrob in the 90s. Not very under the radar!

If "ten" represents completeness according to the Bible, then ten times ten (one hundred) must have even more significance.
And it does!
Completeness to the full in the sense of complete and utter bullshit.

My Story: from JW Elder to Born Again Christian to Agnostic
by passwordprotected ini first posted here on 3rd june 2008. at the time i was an elder, appointed the previous october, i was 36 and i was a born-in.
at the time i'd become disillusioned with the society due to the governing body's letter explaining why the book study in private homes was being abolished.
april 2008 saw me start questioning this decision, privately of course, and this eventually led me to this site, to jwfacts and to many youtube videos, all of which began to errode my faith in the leaders of the organisation.. in july 2008, having discussed my doubts with my wife, i attended the district convention, deciding to give the society one last chance to convince me it was the truth.

Password you and I have both gone through similar experiences at roughly the same times. After reading Ray Franz I too continued to believe in the Bible but as you say an open mind tends to stay open. I went on to read Dawkins, Harris, Hitchens, and books about evolution. If you would like more friends in your life feel free to reach out to me and message me privately. Thank you for sharing your journey.
