Babylon has fallen...

by mikeflood in

could you guys believe this über borg 'friend' ?.

he says that babylon has fallen because all of the coronavirus restrictions (and the resultant less revenue) are gonna destroy them symbolically.

so he thinks this are the last, of the last, of the last days.

His interpretation is not at all Watchtower doctrine. Maybe you should counsel him about 'running ahead.'

Watchtower Sues to Keep Convention Videos Off Internet

by Sea Breeze in

https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2020/07/20/mormonleaks-founders-pay/?fbclid=iwar31g8tcjkq3dtzxjx6mhinhqnk6fequaiwu_278zkhia6vmbyb6ha_jz28.

so i guess the wt holds free public gatherings, but will sue anyone who publishes a video of the free speeches?

what happened to advertise, advertise advertise the king and his kingdom?

I think many here to not understand copyright law. A copyright gives one the choice as to how and when their material is circulated. That it is circulated for free in some context does not give license to others to circulate it. This is especially so with digital material.

Mom circulated some of her books for free to select people and institutions. However, when someone copied it and put it up on the internet, she made them take it down. Her books are for sale in a public context. Taking material you do not have permission to use is theft.

Kingdom Service Questions

Kingdom Ministry Course booklet, 1966. A paper booklet to supplement the 1959 book.

Kingdom Ministry School Course. 1972. A hardback book.

Kingdom Ministry School Course. A booklet to supplement the 1972 book. Unknown date.

I think everything else has been listed. There are other restricted booklets. Some were for Bethel Service, One for Public Relations Servants, a mimeographed booklet for same, and internal booklets for various Watchtower Society departments.

Lloyd Evans exploitation videos.

by phoenixrising in

i used to watch his videos on the monthly gb talks.

he has went over the top a few times doing one video on why being liberal idiot is a good thing.

he has made comments on the usa not knowing shit about what he was desperately trying to talk about.

I sometimes listen to the BBC World Service. None of their commentators or presenters "get" America. They're often wrong, slanted so badly that an American would not recognize themselves. They seem to think the United States should be just like them. While the original colonies were British, the majority ethnicity in the US is German followed by Hispanic.

We aren't like the UK and do not wish to be.
