I am so excited for you both, that is wonderfuĺ! Might be tough for you to give him the space to do his own research without chiming in. Also when he does discuss what he finds out, might be hard for you to hold back on pouring out everything you know. But the fact that he wants to do it himself is a bonus. This is amazing, keep us posted please!

Video: "Iron Sharpens Iron"

is this supposed to placate the ones who have been recently fired?
is this a sign of the aging jw leadership?

Where did this video originate from?
Hilarious that the interviewer pre-emptively referred to sharpening the 'spiritual countenance'TM...perhaps knowing that these worn out sadsacks, poor ol' buggers, physical countenance left a helluvalot to be desired. Lol @ Sparrowdown #wasted life!

I can't watch anymore, but did anyone else notice how unhappy those 3 dudes look? All the old photos of them were smiley. But now, even when recalling the joyous events leading up to their baptism, and all their assignments, they looked miserable as sin! Not exactly an advert for a lifetime of service is it? -

No 'Tight Pants' policy is now official - classed as 'disturbing'
by wizzstick inin short:- tight pants is no longer just a am3 hang up (or is that a hang up on the well hung?
)- brothers who have effeminate body language are flagged up- as are sisters with 'masculine' hair styles or dress- such dress is 'disturbing to the congregation'- the above must heed the (repeated) counsel from the elders...or they get stripped of the right to share on the ministry- however...this will not be revealed (announced) to the congregation.
wow.

Actually Simon, YOU have been fixated on how compelling this issue is to observers, YOU started that angle and have hung on to it like a dog with a bone! I was simply trying to make the point that a sustained and meaningful state of shock leading to proactivity is unlikely among anyone who hasn't tangled with JWs because it is a fleeting feeling soon forgotten or displaced by the next source of outrage (be it ISIS or a Jeremy Kyle episode) Momentary shock is as good as it gets and this issue has the potential for that. Only those affected or their loved ones will ultimately give a monkeys and this forum is presumably for those people. Do you comment on every single thread to point out that most people will carry on with their lives regardless of the misery being caused to JWs? This forum's popularity might quickly wane if you used the tack you used on this thread on every subject. Because essentially you are saying "who gives a shit?" and most people are here precisely because others 'get it', understand and care. -

I'm not bein' funny or anythin' like, but Simon, have you not noticed that the type of shocked you describe is pretty much standard these days? Most people presumably yawned and went to bed after the Scientology expose. Doesn't mean we should measure it as insignificant, this is people's lives after all.

You seem to forget that we came to terms with the controlling nature of cult living, to normal free people living in a PC world this stuff is unimagineably proscriptive. -

Better still, run the whole thing past someone unconnected with the cult, run it up their flagpole and see if they salute it?

If we're going to make a case for something then thrashing out the arguments for and against is valuable and highlights possible weaknesses or objections that others may come up with. Better to have answers prepared in advance, no?
But perhaps, just perhaps, think it possible that you are wrong (or going about this the wrong way)
Why not a start a new thread entitled "New CO directive is insignificant in the scheme of things" and see if anyone agrees?
