  Very interesting, thanks for posting that CAPPY.

  My wife and I both noticed something missing in that talk.

  Yes, there was the fear mongering and call to obey without thinking. . ..

  Here's what wasn't said, something that would have certainly been included in a talk like this 20 years ago:

  "And brothers, just imagine listening to these poisonous falsehoods and walking away from Jehovah today. . . and tomorrow the Great Tribulation and Armageddon breaks out."

  No one actually believes Armageddon / the New System is coming in their lifetimes anymore. They don't even mention it when they want to guilt trip you/fearmonger.

  Are Magicians Spawns of Satan the Devil?

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was perusing the internet not long ago and came upon this series of videos by a guy calling himself xendrius.

  it declares that many of today's best magicians are in league with the devil.

  his claims are based on his observation that the tricks would be impossible to do unless the magicians had made unholy pacts with the devil.. so what's the take of the wtbts?

  If these guys have "real" magical powers, James Randi has a million bucks waiting for them.

  Going to see Star Wars:The Force Awakens - What are you seeing?

  this is not an attempt to 'straightjacket' anyone into a fixed interpretative perspective.

  so set your mind free and see satan and his demons if you reallynwant to adopt a possible jw perspective.

  or, just sit back and watch the show and the trick affects if you want.. or like the uk guardian you could see the movie in terms of dysfunction (personal and family).. quote: the original movies were always based on the most extraordinary nexus of personal and family dysfunction: a motor of guilt, shame and conflict.

  Just a couple random musings. . . .

  You can read a LEGAL copy of Crisis of Conscience right now FOR FREE!

  Just go to your local library and see if they have any copies in the system. My county library system has two. My university system has several copies as well. All legal, costs nothing.

  Also. . .

  Crisis of Conscience is a really interesting read. However, in the past few years since it's been unavailable to buy legally, I'm fairly certain thousands of people have learned TTATT and woken up without it. I did. My wife did.

  Books like CoC are interesting and perhaps persuasive for many readers, but in the end, what is really necessary to "wake up" is to develop critical thinking skills. . . . and then watch a couple episodes of JW broadcasting.

  No book can do the work for you.

  I did read the post. I don't understand why this person doesn't have the ability to publish the book and fight the copyright/bootlegging battle at the same time.

  Yes, to illegally print this book and sell it for just under the legitimate price is disgusting. The person should rot in hell.

  But to hold back in legally publishing the book (even just electronically) makes no sense whatsoever and really encourages people who WOULD LOVE TO PAY FOR THE BOOK to turn to the bootleg stuff.

  If the copyright owner of the book is so worried about bootlegging, THEN PRINT SOME COPIES OF THE DAMN BOOK AND SELL THEM ON AMAZON ALREADY!
  

  I mean, really folks: If any of us had the copyright to the book, you can literally publish anything electronically on Amazon in about 24 hours. How many years has this been out of print now?
