Indeed. Gone are the days of businessman Knorr and his pseudo-intellectual sidekick Freddy Franz.
Now it’s Ringling Bothers instead of Brooklyn Brothers.
you realize that your spiritual leader may be wackier than previous suicide cult leaders.

officials agreed to drop the case as long as Smollett did community service
And where did he perform this repentance from his felonious, rascist, christophobic crimes?
Rainbow / PUSH of course. That bastion of virture and moral correction where they pursue social justice, civil rights and political activism.
I think that Smollett should now receive recognition for his great service to our country in single-handedly destroying the myth of white-privilege.
Saaaalute!

I loved MJ's music back in the day. I still have a couple of his songs on my work-out routine. But, I am disturbed by the recent allegations of CSA.
Even more disturbing is comments from Barbara Streisand:
'You can say "molested," but those children, as you heard [grown-up Robson and Safechuck] say, they were thrilled to be there. They both married and they both have children, so it didn’t kill them,' she said.
'His sexual needs were his sexual needs, coming from whatever childhood he has or whatever DNA he has.'
Is the DNA reference a legitimate argument?
someone may have already noted this.
the current assemblies are be strong, be bold.
how about be fooled, be misled, be bullied.

i hope that the trump administration looks into obama , clinton and all the other players for trying to usurp the legitimacy of the trump presidency..
Looks like it is already starting. Buckle up.
these two verses indicate that "others" were preaching in jesus' name and when the apostles reported it to him, he said "let him alone for he who is with us is not against us".... since the wtbts states they are the only way to salvation, what does this scripture mean?
others have the right to salvation as well - straight from jesus' mouth- as long as they preach ( in the verse it says expel demons as well) using jesus name?
Jesus made it clear that he did not want a hierarchical structure to carry his message. God has always been against the consolidation of power derived from some sort of global cabal.
Starting with the Tower of Babel, God was against globalism. Today their are hundreds of thousands of individually run churches. We used to criticize this arrangement as JW's. But the reason God wants this diffusion is apparent: If a particular association goes apostate and heretical, the damage is limited.
The structure is very flat, compartmentalized, and resistant to fundamental change. A fundamental change would be something like Mary is a co-mediator with Christ; or teaching that Jesus isn't the Mediator for the average Christian today. Mormons teach that unless you go through their priesthood, there is no salvation.
But, it could be something much simpler, like some local pastor imagining himself as an apostle receiving new and direct doctrinal revelations from God. Or, maybe some pastor does something to hurt a lot of people. In these cases, the congregation can get rid of him and and the damage is localized.
Jesus obviously encouraged individual acts of faith without coming under some ecclesiastical authority first.
the packaged product.
it's always exciting to buy something new.
it could anything, but let's pretend that it is a phone, a tablet, or any other electronic.
Well said! But, In my opinion, The Watchtower really doesn't have it's own brand per se. Rather, it presents itself as one particular well-known brand all the while knowing that it is just the opposite.
For instance, all Christians accept Christ as their Mediator between them and God's justice. It's what makes them ... well, a Christian. But, JW recruits are not told that Jesus is not the Mediator for the average Witness before they are baptized.
But it's too late for those that finally figure that out later... the trap has been set.
Extreme deception; different than a brand.
