Vent away tor1500,
I enjoyed your post!
is it me or are you having a hard time commenting on what does this week's bible reading teach me about jehovah & what points from this week's bible study reading can i use in the field ministry ?
i'm having a hard time commenting because what does job show about jehovah....well, # 1 he allowed job's suffering, but he didn't let satan take his life.
# 2 what scripture could one use in the field ministry regarding the book of job...talking to a householder, see if you don't behave, god's gonna get you....or allow satan to get you.

i saw she went under the handle of lovejahforever.....she said she is very smart and had cleaning jobs and was going in the ministry this morning.. when she told me she looked forward to beating me (she won the first game) she sid she was smart because she's a jehovah's witness.
my response was we will see how smart she is.. what next?
any suggestions??
She likes our minimus!
and who can blame her!
with all the info from videos to boe letters, to the flock book ( this is huge when you learn ttatt!
), why can't we find out who the wtbts hired to aid in their rebranding efforts?
we know all about the rc and monica applewhite for jeehoober's sake, so why in the hell can't we find out who is behind the rebranding?
When you look at the Caleb and Sophia images and compare them to the Mormon version of kiddie videos put out by them (LDS) it seems that the same consulting firm was used.
Maybe it would be easier to find out who the Mormons used and back track from there to the JWs?

Do they really make the video/film with horses, chariots etc.. Do they have the CGI for the distant army? If so they are getting sophisticated ...
Or perhaps they have access to studio "out takes" and footage from commercial sources? I would welcome your thoughts.
Perhaps I will dig out the DVD of "Gladiator" this weekend
Thanks wifi bandit
I wondered the same thing BB
Some of those ancient army shots are very tightly shot. the others are very far away.
They switch back and forth with some skill.
Interesting that they may be buying or pilfering footage.
All of you who know about such things...
how much do you think that second video cost to produce?
i was reading this week's study article on remaining loyal to jah.
found an interesting contradiction on shunning.
they cite two experiences.
Even by their own weird reckoning they only used 2 scriptures to back up "Annes" decision. A decision she had to REread to get ready to do something that is against the natural way of things.
Disfellowshipping is so unnatural and they have to constantly remind people of it.
i am a male, born into the jw cult(ure), baptized as a teen, now mid fifties.
most of my life i dreamed of hugging pandas and lions, punctuated at times by nightmares of armageddon or jw drama and politics.
still going through the motions for still-in wife.
Welcome and glad you are here. Take all the time you need and join in wherever you feel comfortable.
You are among real friends here.
witnesses are so anxious, stressed, highly strung..... so much for ones who are supposed to be "the happiest people"..... thoughts?.
As a parent your anxiety level is tremendous as your children reach adolescence.
No sports, no dating,, no college, no experimenting with alcohol, cigarettes or drugs. If that happens, and the wrong elders get involved (and elders will definitely get involved) a parent stands to lose their child through disfellowshipping.
Its a white knuckle life for parents of teens.
so the big a comes, your third in line to be judged by jesus.
he wants to know why you left the organisation.
he also wants to know why jws remained with the org.
I would ask him why part of "the plan" was to be so hard on humans.
if this is true, and we will have to wait and see.
prince could give everything to the watchtower.
so that's his $300 million fortune.
I am thinking he did hand over plenty while alive.
What was strange though was did you see the local KH he "attended"? It looked like a set for a 60s movie.
The chairs and windows and colors look like there hasnt been a remodel in a "generation" (lol I am having fun with that term today) or so. So did his money immediately get funneled upward? Because you sure cant see that any of it was used in the local KH.
