Yeah, when I went to college (as an active JW, no less), I never saw any of the “sinful” stuff the WTS morally-panicked about.

29Tony Morris was right
by wolverines ini have no love loss for the gb or religion and this is not an apologist attempt.
in fact i hate the religion and the gb.
but i watch night after night young kids who's minds have been corrupted by the propaganda and dogma that modern college's are teaching them.

Like I keep saying, the COVID crisis has given them the ideal pretext to transition to an e-religion... something more and more of us believe was on the Org’s to-do list.
Sure, there’ll still be in-person events from time to time, but the rank-and-file have now been primed for it in way that must seem almost God-sent to the WT leadership.
Further KH and AH sales should all but confirm it, IMO.

@ Phizzy...
On a related note, I actually liked the way director Darren Aronofski portrayed the Adam and Eve story in an overtly fantasy-esque manner in Noah.
(Really, the whole movie was portrayed that way, but the Creation narrative particularly so.)

@ JoenB75...
I’ve long found it ironic that the WTS uses Jesus’ reference to the Eden narrative as “proof” of its historicity...
...when Jesus taught almost exclusively using parables and allegories.

Watchtower Sues to Keep Convention Videos Off Internet
by Sea Breeze inhttps://www.sltrib.com/religion/2020/07/20/mormonleaks-founders-pay/?fbclid=iwar31g8tcjkq3dtzxjx6mhinhqnk6fequaiwu_278zkhia6vmbyb6ha_jz28.
so i guess the wt holds free public gatherings, but will sue anyone who publishes a video of the free speeches?
what happened to advertise, advertise advertise the king and his kingdom?

@ Anna Maria ...
Fun fact...
...in Frank Herbert’s Dune novels, the monotheistic Christian religion observed by a number of characters seems to have Islamic elements.

Out Of All TV Shows Over The Years Which Were Your Favorites?
by minimus inthe sopranos was my number one show.
to me it was the best series ever.
for a good laugh, i still enjoy the beverly hillbillies reruns.

I gauge a TV show’s “favourite” status by how much it inspires a “damn, what’s gonna happen next?” vibe.
Back in the 90s, it was X-Files and Babylon 5.
In the 00s it was Galactica.
In the 10s, it was Thrones.
And now, it’s Lucifer (I have never laughed so hard).

@ waton..,
Fun fact...
...according to Jewish scholars, The original Old Testament writers didn’t necessarily view Genesis as literal history.
That became more of a Christian thing.

Damn, they’re getting litigious lately, aren’t they?
Ten bucks says that soon Scientology is gonna sue the WTS...
...for cribbing from their playbook.

@ Phizzy ...
The Org can never budge on evolution, no matter what.
Despite what they may say, it’s not about evidence, or its (supposedly) inherently atheistic nature, or even basic scientific plausibility...
...it’s because the underlying foundation that WT cosmology is built on has effectively become completely dependent on the Genesis creation narrative being literal history.
If evolution is true, then Adam and Eve in Eden didn’t actually happen...
...and virtually all the theological assumptions anchored on the premise that it did effectively go out the window.
IMO, one could make a pretty strong argument that without WT-style creationism, there’d be no JW religion.
