From COFTY'S link:
The result is simply surreal. We couldn’t help feeling we were watching some sort of deleted scene from a Terry Gilliam movie.
It was just over twenty years ago that I was involved in a "Brazil-esque" incident with the Bethel elder body of my congregation. . . .
Even then, being fully invested in JWs, I realized how Orwellian it was. . . . .
But it took me til 2010 to figure it out.
Nah, it's not a cult, is it?

Outstanding job!
Really enjoyed the chemistry, humor, everything. . . Excellent!
considering the language, wording and grammar of anthony morris iii, if a teacher on the english language, at a prestigious university were to analyze anthony's public speaking, what comments and conclusions would they come to?
i say public speaking, because i would assume that an individual would be more careful with their words when spoken in public, than in private.
serious comments would be appreciated, however, i realize that outlaw and a few others are probably on a page of their own.. .
Watching the AM with my wife and Tony says,"Alls I know is. . . ."
My wife turns to me and says,"Alls I know? What language is that?"
Between his bizzare stream-of-unconsciousnews style and slurred speech, he sounds like he's half in the bag.

15 tell us, when will these things be?
and in his parable of the sheep and the goats, jesus states: the son of man arrives in his glory.
I Think I Caught A Lie
Only one?
i have just finished reading one of the most powerful, thought-provoking books i have ever read.. if somebody really wanted to know the reality of life inside the watchtower they must talk to a rational ex-jw.
only people like us can see through the offical statememets and stereotypes and understand the thinking, pressures, hopes and fears of life in the cult.. ayaan hirsi ali shares her personal experience of growing up in a muslim community.
ayaan was born in somalia with it's culture of clan loyalty and honour.
Thanks for the recommendation COFTY.
I just reserved a copy at our local library. Most likely my wife will read it and give a full report. . . . I just don't have the time right now.
I had my wife read "Unorthodox" by Deborah Feldman, and she was very impressed.
She went on to read Feldman's most recent book "Exodus," and did so within 24 hours of taking it out at the library - it was that riveting.
The chart above talks about "Initial Fulfillment" and "Larger Fulfillment" . . . . .
I'm sorry, but that is a "type" and "antitype". . ..
I thought JWs aren't subscribing to that crap anymore. . . . Hmmmmmm. . .,
this is part of the speech that anthony morris iii gave during his time in the limelight at the 2014 annual meeting.. at 3.16.32 of the recorded meeting.
"what role do those with an earthly hope play?
oh oh ho veeeery important role, very important.
I don't know. . . In the context, it seems like the "men" he is referring to are "brothers."
The story starts out with how those with an earthly hope - JWs, not "worldly folks" - have the "very important" role of supporting Christ's brothers.
It goes without saying that the rest of the world have no role in the first place. They could care less.
Then he goes on to the story about being dissed in a "branch territory." Again he could have said he was poorly treated in "another country" but specifically used the term "branch."
It really wouldn't make sense if it were just "worldlies" who are pissing him off - that's to be expected; and they're all burnt hot dogs via Big Brother Jesus' firebolts anyway.
However, it does seem he is making the point that those with an earthly hope - the ones who are supposed to support him- are the ones who dissed him, and thus they will have to deal with JC.
Just my take on it.
all the dubs pouring into melbourne, australia for the international convention gonna choke on their cornflakes when they read this .... http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/opinion/former-jehovahs-witness-lifts-lid-on-stifling-doomobsessed-religion/story-fni0ffsx-1227092921890.

This guy bears a resemblance - both in looks and style of storytelling - to Wakeupwitness (at least that used to be his name) on YouTube.
Always enjoyed those vids. Came across as honest and straightforward, but not particularly Australian.

Exactly.
somehow, i don't have a warm fuzzy feeling when i keep hearing from the center of disease control, "ebola is not spread through the air ...".
ever sneezed?
the famous myth busters had a revealing show on the power of the sneeze anecdotally it has a velocity of some 35 miles per hour and travels a distance of some 30 feet.. ever traveled in the close confines of an air liner?
"Ebola is not spread through the air ..."
It sure as crap is!
Four weeks ago it got on a plane and travelled 7,000 miles from Liberia to Texas!
