  IC 2014 talk: "A Century of Kingdom Rule Contrasted With a Century of Satan’s Rule"

  by AnnOMaly in

  a discussion of this talk on friday morning deserves its own thread.

  as i said elsewhere, it was a remarkable one.

  the speaker was manfred vencebi (google him - he's a bethel bigwig) and some of his remarks are real gems.

  Pedophile Elder in jail gets reinstated

  by Trapped in JW land in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  there was a brother in my congregation who was an elder.

  he got disfellowshipped about two years ago for looking at child porn and also trying to meet up with a thirteen year old boy online.

  he was also arrested soon after this.

  The guy is clearly sick. But how long should he be disfellowshipped? According to their view, they are the only true Christians and as long as he is disfellowshipped he is doomed. Forgive 77 times (or 70 x 7), it's not so much the allowing him back in that is the problem, it's how they protect the vulnerable once he comes back.

  it happened to one of my friends.

  what do you think of the guy's behavior?.

  a girl and a guy are coworkers.

  The correct spelling in my part of the world is neighbor

  Welcome Rosie.

  The guys behavior (behaviour)? Certainly not what a "good" JW would do. He is using your friend. As far as a tatoo goes, they still frown on getting them as a Witness but it is no longer ruled out. Hopefully your friend breaks it off with this guy.

  I have downloaded all but Sunday PM, my connection got too slow by then, perhaps my ISP because my wife was trying to watch netflix and it couldn't handle the stream until I stopped the download. now I'm wondering if the isp is going to send me one of those nasty letters threatening me for downloading 20gb of video.

  I noticed that it works when using Chrome or Firefox but does not on current version of IE. I imagine if you add the website to compatibility view in IE it may work, but I didn't try.

  Trying to make the facebook video clickable (as if anybody really wants to see it) as in all of the pictures and videos i have seen, for some reason the huge jw.org banners look so cultish and idolatrous, they sure are going to town with that and JW's are running with it.

  Listen, OBEY, and be Blessed ... video in Facebook

  Watch Tower DVD production quality gets better and better. They sure have come a long way. Unfortunately this probably makes the cultish content more effective (loyalty loyalty loyalty) with the target audience. I know I was ready for a moment to run back to the Kingdom Hall and reign in my daughter with Family Worship Night™ ... it was a just a fleeting moment.
