  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  JWs and "Simple Truths"

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  in public talks we would always hear about how we knew god's word was the truth because it was simple and clear.

  how god revealed the real truth to uneducated and ordinary people.

  the problem is that in reality something being simple or clear isn't an indicator of it's truthfulness at all.

  one example of simple and clear!

  I am wondering if it is possibly a chance he didnt have a will?

  The reason I wonder is because the Org seems to be circling this story like a shark in the water. LIke they smell potential.

  Are they prepping his sister for a handout saying its "what Br Nelson would have wanted"? 

  If there was a will, everyone would know by now wouldnt they?

  They have a "proviso" in the statement.

  the part about not having details as to cause of death.

  it is obviously a statement drafted by the legal department.
