I know this is being done with the best of intentions but it seems that religions have a great deal of protection through legislation.
There was a guy in Canada who tried suing last year and it was unsuccessful.
I don't know that it is appropriate to ask for money on Simons forum but that is up to him as to whether he would allow it. Did you ask for his permission?
someone posted this image on their facebook page of a recent jw rc showing a rather petite group of baptismal candidates.
notice there are nearly 75 seats (5 rows) reserved for the occasion.
by my count...it looks like between 17 to 19 were baptized...with total attendance of 6,000. the youngest among them looks like between 9 and 11 years old.
I see five females but it seems odd that the majority are males.
for over 20 years subliminal pictures showed up in most books, wt, and awakes- eighties, nineties and into 2000's.... demons, gods, you name it-- .
question: is anyone seeing anything like this in todays publications?

i use this extensively rather than re-inventing the wheel.. paul grundy, the admin, keeps it up-to-date and welcomes any corrections or new information, especially in a well-written article, supported by wt publication quotes.. the 2 places i check first is www.jwfacts.com and then searching on jwn with key word(s) to see if the topic has been already extensively researched or commented on.. don't be frightened away by the material being more than 3 paragraphs.
the quotes from wt publications is are extensive and from publications that are older and less available.
i find it good to read many posts on a single topic and expand my knowledge and sources.. blondie.
It is a very reliable place to refer JWs to and that is why you will often see it in posters from activists.

There is a Caleb and Sophia video where the scroll work on Sophia's bedhead has 666 at the top and bottom. She's got a new bed in her latest video and it is much more plain.
There are a few other strange things in some of these videos which are odd, including the green monsters in the lounge room.
There is also the video where Satan is tempting Jesus to throw himself off and one scene shows him doing this.
who makes anything of this?
we live under the same roof but separate lives so i dont.
and no flowers either as the it was two days after the last convention she went to that she noticed the last lot.. so.. incoming please..
Sorry to hear this Zeb, you are in a loveless marriage. So much for this years convention that is supposedly about love.
She did notice them but chose not to say anything. That's more than rude.
has any fellow australians here had problems with the internet dropping out either with their computers or streaming devices on the tv`s etc.. since the nbn took over we have had nothing but trouble with interruption of services on the tv and computer.. i would say it drops out at least 10 times or more in any one day.. it`s a bloody pain in the ass.. a technician came out the other day and supposedly fixed the problem that they knew about by the way (why didn`t they do something about it then instead of waiting for me to make a complaint ?).
the technician went away saying he had fixed the problem ,but lo and behold within a couple of hours we still had the same problems that have continued over this weekend.. i`m just curious if any other australians are having similar problems as i have outlined..
Our suburb is now NBN ready and I had a bloke from Telstra on the phone the other day trying to persuade me to connect. I said I had heard of so many problems. He told me that we would be guaranteed priority for the first month after joining, of having a technician to look after any problems. I thought he's basically confirming that there is a lot of issues if they have this sort of guarantee in place and only for the first 30 days.
I think we'll wait.
i watched this video just a bit and from what i saw he made a lot of fundamental misstatements on jws.

Rockemsockem, it's a long video, so I was wondering if you could mention a few of the comments he was making that you think are wrong, so that we can discuss them?

That's what I read on a JW forum, that is the amount of international guests that has been approved.
JWs from Western Australia have not been invited and they will have their own assembly at their assembly hall.

would the old-timers even recognise this religion anymore?.
this is from one of the international conventions held this year.
Such a weird religion. It's not permissable to play kingdom melodies live at the Kingdom Hall or the Assembly but if they're entertaining those in 'high standing' at either of these places, its fine to play live worldly music and dance to it.
