That, my undercover friend, is brilliant.
I wonder how many normal, everyday things could be given the Watchtower treatment. I think the WT non-logic on birthdays was one of the things that finally made my common sense kick in.

Should Christians Own Dogs as Pets?
by undercover inusing the wt's "birthday logic" (only two mentions of b-days in the bible, both negative, which means "true christians" do not celebrate them) i wrote this faux wt article about whether true servants of the wt god should really own dogs... i'm no sd-7, but i tried..... .
animals are truly a gift from jehovah as the creator of all things.
animals have, since the creation, served as workers and companions for man.

And Just Like That, FamilyRadio has....
by Yan Bibiyan in....a new website landing page, without any mention whatsoever of the may 21 fiasco.. i guess the bible's guarantee was worth less than the warranty of a used car from a salvage yard..... their tv ad is still live on vimeo, although not in english.
(may 21, 2011 from family radio on vimeo.).
anyone involved with web design knows that this transition does not happen overnight - sure the redirects take a second to put in place but the whole new website was prepared in advance....so much for faith, huh?.

Star Wars, all 6 films
The Godfather trilogy
Mask, with Eric Stoltz and Cher, one of my all time great films. (Absolutely not to be confused with The Mask, the comedy.)
Lord of The Rings.
The whole Star Trek caboodle, variable though it is.
The Blues Brothers.
Many Westerns, too numerous to mention but including Shenandoah, Winchester '73, Shane, The Man who Shot Liberty Valance, and many more.
Dances with Wolves.
A River Runs Through It.
The Matrix Trilogy
Elizabeth The Golden Age
Made in Dagenham
The Boat That Rocked, for wit, music and sheer nostalgia...and Bill Nighy, which takes us smoothly on to Pirates of the Caribbean
and of course The Titfield Thunderbolt and all things Ealing Studios, Passport to Pimlico, The Maggie and especially anything with Alisatair Sim and/or Alec Guiness.
I could go on for ever... :)

July 15th WT- Don't Research " False Stories " - Inspired by Satan !
by flipper ini know the poster lost generation made a fantastic thread on this july 15th apostate article, however - i noticed some very powerful points on pg.
17 paragraphs 9 - 11 which weren't brought out that i feel needed to be touched on.
as was brought out in his thread this article told jw's to avoid apostates because they are " mentally diseased " allegedly and to avoid their web sites, not read their literature, watch t.v.

Flipper,
And then to promote fear into JW rank and file members they throw SATAN into the mix fostering even MORE fear into them. Really insidious tactics.
I'm getting to know first hand their use of Satan. After all, as the elders and "kind" JW's keep telling me, Satan's the one who is trying to stop me becoming a JW! He got so worried that I was nearly there, especially when I was "doing so well".

Well, who knows ? If there WAS a Satan ( which I disbelieve ) perhaps he's using the WT society to turn people " away from the truth "
The thought has occurred to me, and no doubt to countless others, too.
After all, the WT are basically saying to its sheep, "Read the Bible, study and research, but only what we tell you the Bible says, don't for one minute read the Bible without us pointing you every step of the way, and most especially, when you study and research, only read what we write and publish. IN other words, don't even think about doing any of what Satan's world tells you is study and research, because that's what Satan wants you to do, and he will lead you astray. We'll tell you what the truth is, and we'll keep you safe."
I think that's pretty well it. And the sheep love it. Baaaa.

So once again Jesus arrives invisibly to watch the con men laughing all the way to the bank.
I hope they all remember what he thought of the money changers in the temple.

Bob Marley Redemption Song.
It's been in my head since I decided not to go to that Thursday meeting a couple of weeks ago.
"Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds...."
Says it all, for me.
