i've just uploaded a new video in my series of short films that examine some of the more outlandish remarks of governing body member anthony morris iii from the platform.

(before you ask, yes i do intend to move on to another governing body eventually, but i'm not done just yet!).

this latest video looks at the society's relationship with the media.

Do Jehovah's Witnesses feed the starving in third world countries

by Gnosis in

.

or do they only help their own members ?.

is there anything in their publications that seems to cast a negative view on feeding the poor ?.

Jehovah Witnesses go a little further than most by placing a expiration date on their spiritual food. Most all of the spiritual food they have given out has expired. That is why ALL JW's are spiritually sick and take anti depression meds.

LOL, Are you kidding???

The Watchtower excepts charity but it does NOT give it.

The world donates blood and JW's will take "blood fractions" to save thier own lives but they will not give "blood fractions"...

What a joke.

There were no "Kingdom Halls" in Jesus day and Christians "had everything in common" (Acts 2:44) so why the need for all the real estate? If the BILLIONS in real estate that the WT owns was sold, how many people could this feed/save/cure? Jesus said to give your riches to the poor and follow him. He never asked for riches like the religions today do.

the entire time i was gone it was nagging at me.

i hadn't been previously baptized, so leaving wasn't that big a deal.

now i'm back in the swing of it, going to all meetings and field service.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me!

Is 44:26"he One making the word of his servant come true, and the One that carries out completely the counsel of his own messengers."

Has Jehovah made the words of THESE messengers come true? Has he carried out completely the counsel of THESE messengers? We all know the answer is NO, HOW CAN THEY BE GODS TRUE MESSENGERS???

The Jackson Family Circus -or- WE know whats really going on with Katherine Jackson vs her kids...

by Unlearn in

jw
friends

so, i dont know if this has been posted/addressed here...but watching this whole jackson family thing play out in the public eye is surreal.. the press assume that the only reason mj's brothers and janet are contesting his will and want control of the kids, is money.. seriously...mj's bros and sisters dont need his money: his bros get paid everytime you hear a jackson 5 song.

they're all millionaires.. janet is loaded.

but, the media doesnt know what we know...so they assume that the only reason they'd want mj's kids is for the $$$$ that come along with them as part of the deal.. we know better.. i believe a big amount of respect is due to janet and jermaine and the rest of the gang...theyre trying to rescue those kids from a jw brainwashing fate.. i'd bet money on it.. they say janet was trying to convince paris to willingly leave her grandmothers home and come with them.. im telling you...they're trying to save those kids.. and as any of you who have close family still in the cult can attest to, we apostates are some of the most loving, long-suffering people on the planet...as many of us publicly hold our tongues repeatedly when it comes to that cult, because we dont want to hurt mom, or dad, or kids, or siblings.

I know I'm behind the times here but... I found it hard to believe MJ wanted his 80 YR old mother to have custody of his kids. What does that say about MJ's opinion of his brothers and sisters? What kind of a parent can a 80 YR old person be? She goes away and turns OFF her cell phone? The kids can't even contact her? Whats up with that? I wont even do that for one hour and my kids are grown and gone! I do believe it is all about money. The more money rich people get, the more they want. Money has torn apart my JW family. MJ had so much moola he didn't know what to do with it all... Turns out IT WASN'T ENOUGH... He had to go back to work to make MORE! Look at the father, a lover of money and fame... Who can't see that? Don't get me wrong. I LOVE MJ and this family. I feel for them all. It is to bad the mother has not learned TTATT.

Edit: By saying, "Its all about money" I do not believe this family dosn't care about the children. I believe they do... I just believe that money is a HUGE motivating factor... But what do I know?
