  REQUEST: Video Links for this year's RC Dramas

  by Oubliette in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  does anyone have the links for this year's rc videos?

  i'm especially interested in the video drama about the jw woman that married an upbaptized man.

  i have a couple of friends in similar situations--wife in, they're not--and the wives still attend.

  I will extract those videos for you today.

  It's a project I've been putting off. I wanted to extract every single supplementary video from each of the sessions.

  Is it true because it is on the internet?

  by cappytan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so, we've already kind of had the discussion about the 10/15/2015 study edition of the watchtower, especially the article entitled "the naive person believes every word.".

  but one thing i noticed about this article...the web address and html code has a different title.. the html title is "is it true because it is on the internet?".

  the web address is: http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20151015/true-because-it-is-on-internet/.

  I find it hard to believe that Terrence Howard isn't awake.

  by Island Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for those who don't know, terrence howard is an actor who has had some exposure to "the truth" and has spoken positively about the jw religion in a past interview saying he would become a jw if he could.. i've started watching wayward pines where terrence howard stars as the town sheriff.

  there are some striking cult parallels between the show and some facets of jw cult culture.

  ~ people who try to leave wayward pines are subject to punishment.

  I've never once seen a JW with an over-the-shoulder-strapped bookbag.

  We have them down here in Texas all the time.

  Anthony Morris III: "...we cannot control everything that an individual might say..."

  by cappytan in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i noticed that anthony morris iii just said on the broadcast: "while we cannot control everything that an individual might say, it is clear that over the decades protecting children from abuse is a top priority for this organization.".

  that, in my opinion, is a direct response to the richard ashe "spiritual protection not physical protection" deposition.. here's a video putting the two statements side by side.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgevpuyn7gy.

  "how many pedophile lawsuits are the wts legal team currently defending?".

  If anyone has a PACER account, they can do a simple keyword search for "Watchtower" and other organization corporations. PACER searches current dockets in all U.S. courts. It's not world wide, but it is nation wide.

  I don't have an account. I'd sign up, but I'm mobile today.

  Probable Discovery of Life on Comet Philae

  by cofty in

  1. social
  2. current

  according to leading astronomers the probe philae that landed on the comet 67p last november may have discovered microbial life..... sadly neither the probe nor the orbiter rosetta are equipped to test directly but the evidence is interesting.

  these are not easily explained in terms of prebiotic chemistry.

  the dark material is being constantly replenished as it is boiled off by heat from the sun.

  Great article, Cofty.

  Fisherman: take a long walk off a short pier, please. Dregs of society like yourself is why I wish this forum had a block feature.
