Viviane: I don't mean to derail the thread, but I think it's kind of funny that in that first video you posted, at 0:14, Darwin's book cover looks like it was designed by the WBTS back in the hardcover days. It reminds me of the Knowledge book cover. -

Golden Rule: Pure Garbage?
by willmarite inon another thread a poster made the comment that the golden rule was garbage.
she said it was arrogant and made assumptions.. i didn't want to derail that thread so i started another wondering if this is a common thought about this belief on this forum.
i guess i naively thought the value of doing to others as you want them to do to you was generally accepted as positive.. i understand people have different opinions of jesus as a person but i don't want to get into that here.

Rather than assume people want the same thing you want, you could always ask them.
I think the Golden Rule doesn't omit this. I would want someone to ask me how I would like to be treated instead of just assuming. This is in line with the Golden rule.

THREE elders? That's more than an investigation committee.
How would I react? I'd crack open a bottle of Bourbon and proceed to pour myself a stiff drink, and then tell them it's not a good time for encouragement as I'm just finishing up breakfast.

Man, that was EXCELLENT. It was almost therapeutic listening to her fearlessness.
Amazing she got out of the cult after that Biker gang incident. That could have been something that kept someone in the cult as a result of "confirmation bias" perceiving Jehovah helping them.

Just bumped into this...
by StarTrekAngel inthis is a phrase taken from the current wt magazine being studied.
someone already took it and ran with it, posting it as a banner in a pro-jw site called "i am proudly a jw".
it's in spanish, but you can look it up in the english version of the mag.

Here's how the English version of paragraph 9 reads:
Consider W. J. Thorn, who served as a pilgrim, or traveling overseer, starting in 1894. After many years in that work, he was called to Kingdom Farm in upstate New York and worked in the henhouse. He said: “Whenever I get to thinking a great deal of myself, I take myself into the corner, so to speak, and say: ‘You little speck of dust. What have you got to be proud of?’” (Read Isaiah 40:12-15.) A humble attitude indeed!

There was a video on JW Broadcasting detailing the new design and the new LDC arrangement, however the actual renderings were not on there.
