The WT has done its' share of bringing reproach upon Jah's name in the past and present. However, this kids' video takes it to another whole new level.

First off, I pitty any JW child who has to live under these conditions. I can see why there is major rebelliion on the part of JW youth today.

Second, Calebs' mom reminds me of Popeye, the cartoon character's wife... Olive Oyl. So dull, unhealthy looking and blahzay! She also reminds me of a number of lunatic sisters in my congregation. I can forsee Calebs' mom having marital problems unless she has a major make-over. And that out-fit!

Good comments by everyone. It is obvious WT has its' hands full with alot of corruption/betrayal at all levels going on within the organization. Serves 'em right!

Par 13 about adultery: Why did they have to single out the 50 year old males in the congregation? There are alot of sisters with their regrets and who are doing their own share of 'betrayal'.

Not to mention in our congregation of recent (I'm talking last 3 weeks) three couple who have been married less than 15 years have separated and well on their way in ending their marriage. And looking around I see numerous other couples just hanging on by the threads, elders and ms's marriages alike.

Just wanted to say hello

by Suraj Khan in

i've only very recently discovered this site and have been reading many compelling personal accounts and testimonials.

i'd like to share my own as well.. i was born into 'the truth' in the early 1970s.

along with my several (fleshly) brothers and sisters, i went through the usual travails of a witness boy - not celebrating birthdays, not pledging allegiance to the flag, not singing christmas carols in the class chorus.

Good to hear your story. Thank you for sharing.

Ditto on what Billy the Ex-Bethelite says: 'you never know but that kindness and foregiveness on your part might save a life from JW bondage'

Bonnie_Clyde: ' I know for a fact that if we were to refer to Jesus as "Lord Jesus" or "Lord Jesus Christ" in everyday conversation or while commenting at meetings, we would soon be under suspicion.'

Ya hit the nail on the head with that one BC!

I have read where Blondie has often commented how the WT rarely will mention Jesus Christ in many of their writings. And when they do mention God’s Son they treat Him as a ‘second class citizen’ as they do in this lesson.

WT can take a lesson from the apostle John and how so eloquently and appreciatively he says at Rev 1:4: “………..May you have undeserved kindness and peace from.... Jesus Christ, the “Faithful Witness”, “The firstborn from the dead,” and “The Ruler of the kings of the earth”. To him that loves us and that loosed us from our sins by means of his own blood—……yes, to him be the glory and the might forever. Amen.”

Can you imagine what the elders and rank and file would think of a member who refers to our Savior in this respectful manner while making a comment during a Q and A discussion? They'd think he was a 'Jesus Freak'!

On the matter I mentioned earlier where the Society mentions our Ransomer and Redeemer in this article as simply ‘Jesus’ some 50 times and not once as the ‘Lord’: Notice how many times the Christian Greek Bible writers referred to our Savior, incorporating the title ‘Lord’ with a capital ‘L’: Matthew 31 times; Mark 5 times; Luke 46 times; John 38 times; all of Paul’s writings 205 times; the small books of James, 1 st & 2 nd Peter and Jude 21 times.

It just seems to me that everyone else demonstrates a very high regard for God’s Son in how they address him with the exception of WTBTS.

Which brings to mind my gardener, whose name by the way (you guessed it) is ‘Jesus’ (pronunciation in Spanish ‘Hay-sus’). Every now and then I’ll hear my wife yell out the window ….’Jesus don’t forget to trim the hedges!’

Again I say to the WTBTS……Where is your respect??

1st sentence par 11: 'What conclusion do you draw from Jesus' cleansing of the temple?' (no brainer)

Answer: That our Lord Jesus Christ does not like the idea of any solicitation or profiteering going on at places of worship such as having ATMs and Debit/Credit cards machines installed at circuit and district conventions for the sole purpose of extracting hard earned money from individuals and families whose sole purpose for being there in the first place is to learn about our Lord and about his Father and to study the Bible.

After all the account does say that Christ Jesus made a whip of ropes, and he drove out those selling cattle and sheep. He scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. On an earlier occasion he told his disciples.....'You received free, give free' (Mat 10:8)
