  New JW.org video - using the simplified Watchtower to "teach" children

  by cedars in

  well, now that the new jw.org website is up and running, the videos keep coming thick and fast.. this latest highly-polished production shows an asian family, evidently living in america (or some other developed country), explaining how the watchtower in simplified english benefits them.. here is the link.... http://www.jw.org/en/news/by-region/world/video-clip-helping-children/.

  the first thing that struck me was the boys playing football together at the beginning.

  it seems playing soccer in pairs (as with the ministry!

  "Keep yourselves in Gods Love"...JW`s and masturbation video #22

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just looked to see if this video is still on the official jehovah`s witness website "keep yourselves in gods love " ( deaf and sign language # 22 ) and it is.

  notwithstanding whether it is appropiate for signers to be explicit or not, depending on what signage they use, the real question should be, why are the governing body of jehovah`s witnesses so concerned that their members are masturbating or not.it is not an issue in the bible .why are they delving into something that quite frankly does not concern them ?.

  smiddy.

  It's just the JW mindset: Purge 'true' Christians from all evil.

  The latest addition to the GB, Mark Sanderson, looks rather well fed for his age (presumably 47 years old).

  has anyone seen this?

  it's rich.

  it's too bad that this will blow right over the heads of jehovah's witnesses.

  Just curious - since Boakheo Nantah was enroute to the US, would not the other students also come by boat in 1956/57 for the Gilead school?

  Would the passenger manifest not also list them coming from Thailand and going to "Watchtower Bible Sch. of Gilead"?

  JEHOVAH

  does that name produce in you any feelings?.

  when you see that word, "jehovah", does it make you think of god?.

  do you ever use that name- jehovah- in your life at this point?
