not sure if this video has been posted before here or not, but it is a powerful scene.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dx7irfn2gdi.
i haven't watched the entire movie yet, but from this scene alone, i will be..
If god can order his people to act like a killing machine & slaughter the innocent ...can he not stop doing this? Does he have an unhealthy need to bring catastrophe and spill blood. Is that his way to get enough attention so that he can look all powerful ........wow look what I have done!!
Methinks this Jehovah is a trouble maker ..... my diagnosis.....................

He makes us sick & then commands us to be well! (Hitchens said that!)

recently, since my d/aing, i've heard the same old cobblers has been said to and by my family members.
(more than likely referring to me).. ''jehovah(tm) will judge.
he knows who will survive and be destroyed at armageddon.
Nice one Punky ... actually I am surprised I didn't comment on it before haha... When I first started to "study" with jws, and was being pressured to go d2d, I didn't know what I was supposed to say to people. Well, said the one lady, just make something up!!!!! Now that should have stopped me right there!
When I doubted something in the watchtower, they talked about that it just has the ring of truth tho, doesn't it ! Omg so many dumb things, and of course we picked-up those things and used them to fill in all our weak explanations to people.
Nice to talk to you Punky.

so something i never knew was the fact jw's were taught that jesus is only the mediator for the anointed class and not for everyone.
i only found this out after reading "crisis of conscience" and i was actually pretty shocked to learn so.
if that is the case, when they pray why even bother saying the words "in the name of jesus christ we ask"?
While not participants in the new covenant, these are beneficiaries of it. They receive forgiveness of their sins and are declared righteous as God’s friends. (Jas. 2:23; 1 John 2:1, 2) Whether we have a heavenly hope or an earthly hope, each one of us has good reason to appreciate Jesus’ role as the Mediator of the new covenant.
Ahhh the beggers can't have it both ways .... if jesus is mediator ONLY for 144000 people, the remaining 8 billion do not have jesus as mediator! 144000 see themselves as mediators only to jw's, .....oh wait a minute, were they tortured & hung on a 'stake' for us? WT you can't have it both ways!

This book I believe has the first mention of "Jesus is only mediator to anointed"! Not for the rest of mankind. Valuable because of that.

Mike & Kim may need one of these for their research library.
Also John Cedars may need one for his.
Thanks for posting this message, in the exposure of WT, these books will make them eat their own words

sorry, i messed up before i could put the right title on this new light from our circuit overseer, his visit show's a great desperation in the organization's mindset, adding more anxiety and guilt to jws who already feel they don't measure up!.
hi, i attended the circuit overseers visit and got really angry because our c.o.
gave information coming from the governing body's chief apologists regarding "meeting attendance" and "the couple who missed one meeting and lost their entire family because they did not get the "411" when armageddon was coming!
AAhhhhhh ....Jehovah the god of mischief is at it again!
as many of you on here will know, my sister and myself (along with others we know) were abused by a ms. .
my first memory as a child was of abuse and i've had and still am suffering from the affects due to mental health problems.
the abuser is now dead, but he was jailed for abuse of his own son previously so that nest of vipers will have known he was an abuser.
So sorry dear ....... maybe get in touch with the lawyer who just won this case in UK. All the best to you!

well, i don't wanna rant too much but sometimes things cut you don't they.. a family member had a get together for the family, jw and non jw and of course i wasn't invited being da'd.. i understand why they couldn't invite me but it just made me think.
in normal society this wouldn't happen.
i'd have been there.. the shunning is so unnatural and damaging.
clarified understandings / new light of the past 7 years or so:.
* the faithful and discreet slave is only the governing body and only since 1919.. * the faithful slave was appointed in 1919 by jesus but it will not receive its greater authority until the judgment of the sheep and goats.. * charles taze russell was not part of the faithful and discreet slave.. * there was no slave for 1900 years before 1919.. * there may not have been any anointed during those 1900 years, but it's possible there were a few.. * 1935 was not the cut-off date for the selection of the anointed-- this selection is still ongoing.
* 1935 has no special biblical significance.. * 1918 has no special biblical significance.. * gog of magog is not satan, but is a coalition of nations, who may be ruled by the mysterious king of the north.. * there is no evil slave class.
i was walking to town and i was approached by a smart young man.
"can i interest you in this," he said and handed me a small card with jw.org printed on it.. "oh, blimey," i said.
"i'm an athiest.

You make me laugh Punkie!
