  Because I sure as hell don't! Homework. . . etc. . . .

  But I think this would be interesting.. . . ..

  A comparison of two of the Societies Video's:

  "The Prodigal", a propaganda piece with the average JW as the target,

  and the two Judicial Commitee videos made for elders eyes only.

  I'm curious how they stack up against each other; the message the 8 Goons at the top want the Masses to see, versus the hidden reality.

  The absence of any suggestion to seek professional help from someone actually trained to deal with depression and suicidal thoughts is very telling. It is also completely irresponsible

  Yes, I think that is a major point, one that was not lost on my wife.

  To call these people amateurs is giving them too much respect.

  Complete hacks.

  Hell of an "education" system they got there.

  The first thing I noticed is that the elders are robots.

  Yes!!!! With no further editing this thing could be an SNL skit. The one elder reminded me of a Dan Ackroyd/Will Ferrel type with his awkwardly robotic mannerism. Stepford brothers.

  It would be hilarious if it wasn't horrifying.

  Just like to point out that the first part of the video was what you are NOT supposed to do (go alone into back room with sister, touch sister's hand, tell them suicide is murder etc).

  Part 2 is supposed to be the RIGHT way to handle to situation (2 elders present, no touching the sister) In the end, they even get the "right" way so wrong it's hard to tell what the hell is going on.

  [edit: yeah, part two ( the How-To section) will leave you utterly disgusted. I guarantee it.]

  Watched the Sister Suicide video with my wife this morning. She almost fell over when the elder told her to supress her negative thoughts/emotions just like you supress an immoral thought.

  I reminded my wife this is part of the "education" program the society provides it's members that is soooooo superior than college education. She wanted to barf.

  Yeah, "integrity keeper". . .WTF?!?!

  Unbelievable.

  My Explanation of Why They Got it Wrong About Blood Using Only the NWT

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  10 " any israelite or any alien living among them who eats any bloodi will set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from his people.

  12 therefore i say to the israelites, "none of you may eat blood, nor may an alien living among you eat blood.

  15 'anyone, whether native-born or alien, who eats anything found dead or torn by wild animals must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be ceremonially unclean till evening; then he will be clean.

  You are asking about before the big bang. Its a question for cosmology or theoretical physics. We are not going to solve it here. - COFTY

  Shit.

  And all this time I thought we were going to solve it here.

  Damn.
