  Stephen Lett: Crazy Old Kook or Just Really Bad Actor?

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so, i am reposting this video from wifibandit's thread since it is a bit off topic.

  i watched this video and i have to say that this guy really creeps me out.

  his slow and methodical gestures coupled with with his over-annuciation of every word makes him appear absolutely crazy!.

  How can they let Lett represent them? I'd keep him out of the public eye.

  Yes, I'd be ashamed if I was still a jw that these horrible idiots are in charge of my religion.

  This video teaches a child that if he/she spends their money on something for themselves they are selfish and disloyal, whereas if you give it to the gb you make Jehovah happy and prove yourself faithful.

  So, kids are not allowed to buy an ice cream cone or some other treat for themselves, all of their money must be donated to the gb?

  I have a feeling that jw broadcasting will feature a segment on giving donations each month from now on.

  There is definatly something wrong with Lett.

  And this is an Historic Broadcast? Well, it is the first one to beg for money, perhaps it is a longer one so Lett can repeat his plea for more money ad nauseum.

  Their worst broadcast by far.

  And did anybody else notice that JW.org has replaced Watchtower on the France branch office bldgs?

  There were 14,121 partakers last year, an increase of over 1,000 compared with 2013.

  No doubt, a lot more this year.

  2. bible

  a couple of weeks ago someone posted that jw.org accidentally posted the 2015 regional convention release.

  i can not fine the thread now.. i saw a picture of it yesterday.

  a sister had downloaded the pdf and read it that night.. it is a 16-page brochure entitled "return to jehovah", with a purple background.. it has been designed specifically for inactive ones are those who have been raised around the truth but never baptized.

  I'm guessing this booklet will be Friday afternoon's release, judging by the title of the closing talk.

  I wonder too if anyone from the congregation will be bringing me a copy.

  I notice that in the section under "Jehovah's Witnesses" in the part on the last days it still mentions that some that were alive in 1914 will still be alive to see the end of this system of things.

  Therefore it must be very close!
