Oh, yeah.
Hearing assembly drama dialogue using current WT vernacular for the first time was surreal.
And then the WT magazine featured an illustration of two First-Century Christians going door-to-door with bags of scrolls.

Huh.
It’s funny, I’d always thought a “debutante” was a “ditzy rich socialite”.
😄
Maybe I had it confused with “celebutante”.

Let’s be honest, folks. The Org wouldn’t want and budding young rank-and-filers attending anything “worldly”…
…but it’s really about socially isolating members from non-members.

Beth - “…Protecting the Organizations image is what's the most important…”
No quite.
At this point, I doubt they give a rat’s ass about their “public image”…
…it’s all about shoring up the Org’s legitimacy and authority in the eyes of the membership.
Lose that, and they lose everything.

Balaamsass2 - “….I would never have expected a grassroots growth of dogmatic, religious gun-toting fundamentalism.”
Did you forget who some of the earliest American settlers were?
Some might be tempted to suggest it’s practically baked into the country’s DNA.

Balaamsass2 - “…You would think a carload of child molesters were roaming the streets…”
…he said, without a trace of irony. 😜

They’ll call the elders, for sure…
…and the Org’ll wanna play it up for all its worth.

JW Broadcasting - simply a platform for narcissists?
by eyeslice inone thing i notice from sitting through a number of broadcasts is just how much these guys love their titles.
it's always brother such-and-such, member of the gb, helper to the teaching committee, etc.
it's never simply brother such-and-such, a local elder with such-and-such congregation.. it seems to me the witnesses are pretty quick to pick up on catholics who call their priests father, which at the end of the day is in much the same vein simply a title.. i suspect these titles point to a huge amount of narcissism of the part of those who revel in such titles, certainly it doesn't seem to fall in line with christ's advocation that the greatest amongst you should be be the least.

Remember the good old days when most of the GB actually kept a semi-low profile?

Let The Right One In (novel)
by LoveUniHateExams inso, i've already posted stuff about the 2008 film of the same title, directed by tomas alfredson.. i rate that film very highly, so i thought i'd treat myself over the xmas holidays with the novel by john ajvide lindqvist.
the book is a lot darker in some aspects - the film sensibly tones down the paedophile desires and exploits of haakan, the girl vampire's carer.
nobody wants to see that kind of stuff on screen.
