The automatic captioning on YouTube for this video is about 80-90% accurate which is not bad for these things. I'm not sure how to grab it off as a text file it might be an interesting Google.

by Simon in

well, we survived the first month at least!

yes, the new forum is now 1 month old.. of course there have been some issues and i'm grateful that people have been patient while i worked on them.

a big thank-you to everyone who's been patient, have provided useful feedback or just been willing to adapt to something new during the transition.. i've also made some improvements along the way and am fairly happy with how things are from a basic functionality and performance perspective so it's time to start looking at some of the new features i've been planning.

Thank you I really appreciate the overhaul! But I am a bit lost and haven't been here for a while and now it's all new and improved lol.

@Listener - His phone was very low on battery but yes it would be epic if he could have recorded audio/video.

@Kate - The internet was NOT cooperating that night and the lip sync got all off ugggh.

@happy@last - I'm with you; he had an incredible amount of poise and calmness to do that.

Hello all! For those of you that are into activism you may enjoy this special report video. Here's the description from the JWStruggle YouTube channel:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
My buddy Joel the Unwitness recently went undercover at a Kingdom Hall, armed with a notebook, regular clothes, and an American Standard Bible. A remarkable set of experiences took place while talking with a Jehovah's Witness love-bomb crowd that hung on his every word at certain points.

Can this situation be replicated? Will Joel go again and record it? Will another time and Kingdom Hall yield similar results? These are the intriguing questions raised in this special report- don't miss it!

Messaged with the filmmaker yesterday about several things.

DVD and BluRay will follow they are not ready yet due to translations into other languages, etc. that takes time but they wanted to have something ready before the end of the year since so many are continuously asking.

Thanks for the holiday cheer! It's nice to see how many have cleaned out the silly WT "everything is pagan" way of thinking.

---------- Description from video ------------

We can make this a good holiday season if we want to, and I myself would like to wish all of you, my friends and extended cult-survivor family a Merry Christmas!

I discuss in this video:

• Why some exJWs embrace holidays including Christmas
• Why some exJWs DO NOT embrace holidays especially Christmas
• The Watchtower's version of what's "pagan"
• The simple logic Ray Franz used in his excellent second book, In Search of Christian Freedom
• A shout out and words of appreciation for my good friend Londo Mollari, who helped me prepare this video

Londo's channel you WILL want to subscribe to:

WT application of James 1:27 - looking after widows and orphans
by EndofMysteries in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
since the bible is clear on helping widows and orphans, needy, poor, etc, it's interesting to see how the wt twists these scriptures to make their followers feel they are following it when they really aren't.

because it costs money to really help those and the wt wants the money themselves.. here are some wt quotes directly on fulfilling this obligation of james 1:27 -.

help elderly get to the meetings -.

Great topic EoM. When I met with the elders for my apostasy trial I read them this verse and said plainly that they were not doing this, all three tried to speak at once. Then the elder named Dennis (I believe) said, "Eric I take OFFENSE at that!"

I think it is in part 5:
