The weirdest thing about this is that - to the best of my knowledge - the Org doesn't even derive income from the videos... they're all posted on the JW-dot-org website for anyone to see.
How the hairy blue fuck do you justify suing for copyright infringement for stuff that you - for all intents and purposes - give away for free?
Remember about a year ago they did this?
They sued a YouTuber for (somehow) causing "irreparable damage"...
... with a stop-motion video...
...made with Legos (I am not making this up).
Honestly, sometimes I think the WT leadership really is losing its goddamned mind.

The Fundamental difference between Islam and Christianity
by ILoveTTATT2 inever since i came out of the witnesses, i've become very political.. i've heard lots of arguments back and forth for many things.. in the u.s. there is the argument that it is "racist" to want to deny entry to muslims.
while there is freedom of religion, there is also the very valid concern of maintaining democracy and a justice system that is based on modern values.we as exjw's constantly quote the pew center for statistics on jw's such as: they are last place in the us for members of a religion that go to university, and second-last for poverty levels of members of a religion.
we accept those statistics and mention them as proof of how damaging the jw's are.now, let's use the same center for some very scary statistics on islam:http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/07/22/muslims-and-islam-key-findings-in-the-u-s-and-around-the-world/.

TD - "I would argue that racial Antisemitism has its roots in the religious Anti-Judaism..."
Agreed.
One of the things that I was very surprised to learn recently was that historic Judaism didn't necessarily view Genesis as factual, literal history.
More and more dominant elements of Christianity did, however (for cosmetological reasons), and I suspect that its leaders - knowing this - began to cast Jews (and by extension, Judaism) in a negative light to keep their subjects from learning this.
After all, if they associated with Jews, learned a bit of their traditions and theology, and subsequently realized that the actual Old Testament authors themselves didn't view their writings as infallible or "set in stone", it couldn't help but undermine the Church's authority in their eyes.
I could be wrong.

What a wonderful time---for faders to fade away!
by eyeuse2badub ini’ve been thinking about it for a few weeks and i’m sort of surprised that no one else has introduced this topic!.
what better time than now for a fader to fade?
no meetings, no field service, no elder visits, no assemblies, no convention, and no other bullshit busy work going on.

Like I've said...
...sure, converting to a predominantly online presence is a major cost- and labor-saving (not to mention legal-saving) measure...
...but boy, does it make it easier for the fakers, faders, and fence-sitters to finally fuck off.

The purpose of conversion testimonies and stories
by LeeT ina hunch has just struck me.we get frequent accounts in the literature and videos of people whose dysfunctional lived have been turned around by studying with the jw's and coming to belief in the org (sorry, jehovah).
evangelical type christian groups also use similar testimony stories.here's the hunch:the purpose of these is quite different among jw's compared to other religions.other groups use these testimonies primarily to persuade non-believers.the jw's use them to reinforce the beliefs of those already in the "truth.
"any thoughts?.

The purpose of JW conversion stories are to convince the rank-and-file that proselytization still actually works (despite any stats to the contrary).

Mainstream Judaism and Christianity have had the age and experience to reach the point where they've accepted and acknowledged that they simply cannot take everything in their scriptures 100% literally.
Islam isn't quite there, yet.

Do the GB leaders of the JWS make its members delusionaly insane ?
by Finkelstein inthis particular question or evaluation of the people who are participating jws has come up before in debate.
the more one deeply analyzes this the answer usually comes up in the affirmative yes.
when you consider the fact that jws members will abandon their own family, go as far as kill themselves under the direction of these men, it really confirms just how deep the mental and conscious indoctrination these men have gone.. .

Seriously, though...
...insane delusions are an easy habit to fall into when...
a) ...your peers insist that God whispers in your ear...
b) ...you have millions of followers who hang on your every word, and...
c) ...you're support consists solely of people who are never allowed to disagree with you.
