In the 1970s when I left WT, two of my favorite episodes on TV were Colombo and Murder She Wrote. I always thought there was a huge contradiction on the fact that we could watch murder and not watch nudity.

Films with nudity
by neat blue dog ini guess every jw has a different conscience on the matter, and i don't believe any jw publications have ever specifically mentioned nudity in film as being off limits.
of course genitals are out of the question because that's usually relegated to r movies which most good jws don't view.
female toplessness is condoned but not spoken about, as most jws i know have seen titanic and many own it.

I don't wish to throw cold water on this topic but I was an Elder myself and will turn 78 in a few days and when I left in 1977 there were a lot of bitter people in that congregation. One or more of those young ladies could easily Trump up some circumstances in which I could have been alone with them in a car.
I don't remember that but if that's the case I could be vulnerable even though I am absolutely innocent of anything so dastardly.

12 - a magnificent result for a highly acclaimed film made on a shoe string.

Okay so he did not use the words governing body but is of course implied since they are the ones doing the telling

"Who will conquer the world in the 1970's?" ....Circuit assembly announced KM July 1970
by krismalone ini found this gem in the watchtower online library that now goes further back than the year 2000 publications.
an extra bit of evidence for those cult members that deny that their governing body gods lied to them.. even a lapel card was printed for all attendees to wear (see my avatar).
kingdom ministry 1970 july in the announcements section.. ◆ a new circuit assembly program is scheduled to begin in september.

he discusses the creation book on pages 119-121. he says that he discusses this particular tract only because it has had such a wide circulation - no fewer than 6 of which have been sent to him personally.
