the longer i’m out the more i feel that disfellowshipping is cruel.
i understand the organization tells parents to not even accept emails or texts from their disfellowshipped children.
while i was a witness they tried to discourage families from association but there was some leeway if it was considered necessary business to interact.
Just like you can sell your soul to Satan, the Organisation requires that you sell your soul to them and that is the worst thing about it.
It is the result of this that we see individuals willing to shun their own sons and daughters, die because of refusing blood and so on.

She has talked about being used by the organisation as a young girl, including the GB, as an 'automatic writer'. It's crazy stuff.

Drearyweather, I was going by Blondie's comment but I think she was joking. I tell ya, it's hard to know these days what is JW doctrine and what isn't. Just look at their 'this generation' interpretation, that's a real joke.

Drearyweather, are you not just a little surprised that they are talking about Jesus being the thumb of Gods hand?

Would this be the left hand or the right hand that they are talking about?
removed.
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.
