I have watched every episode so far and am really enjoying it. I, too, adore Keri Russell as an actress and as a just plain beauty! I like the dated technology of the time period, as well. If you like this show, did you see and/or like Homeland? To me, that may be one of my all time favorite shows EVER! NR

w92 7/15: "It is the obligation of all JWs to hate apostates"
by cedars intoday i was doing some research for a new article, and i came across the following quote which succeeded in raising my eyebrows.... "the obligation to hate lawlessness also applies to all activity by apostates.
our attitude toward apostates should be that of david, who declared: 'do i not hate those who are intensely hating you, o jehovah, and do i not feel a loathing for those revolting against you?
with a complete hatred i do hate them.

It is so vile and hateful! They also implant serious superstitions in the sheep about encountering apostates. We experienced one of our former elders immediately bowing his head in prayer if ran into my wife at her place of work! The whole congo used to go to the store/restaurant frequently for coffee breaks. Now, they almost never go. I guess they don't want to catch a bad case of "mental disease" eating food she might have prepared! Or maybe swallow a demon whole!

Really well written, but it is almost insurmountable to leap the fence of brainwashing! Best wishes whatever the result!

Dog Patch,
Please elaborate if you will. What people pull the strings of the GB? Certain department heads? (Writing, service, etc.) I am so curious and I know that your inside knowledge always proves accurate. Thanks!

Pulling the rug out from under the "apostates"
by konceptual99 inwould anyone agree that recent comments and changes to wt doctrine are designed to try and pull the rug out from under long established counter reasoning put forward by those the wt would consider apostates?.
the section in the recent wt, whilst not an apology, is apologist in it's tone and suggests that the wt society has just been doing the right thing by setting expectations.. apostate: "you keep saying the end is coming and it still hasn't.".
wt - "well, our zeal in following jesus may have prompted us to raise expectations too much but we are only doing what we are asked to do.".
-

I agree with all of this. I feel like the WT is almost directly engaging the most common complaints from the general ex-JW community. Their answers are sideways-speak, unsatisfying, and miss the point. But they are attempting to answer things. I think it is pre-emptive arguing put in place for the rank-in-file members who might visit a site out of curiosity but still brainwashed enough to be appeased by these answers!

Coco Rocha People Magazine JW Blurb
by NoRegrets inso i know that there has been a lot of discussion about coco rocha and it is pretty much a proven fact that she is a jw.
i was surprised, though, to see her make a public statement in about it in people magazine.
we were in the doctor's office waiting room and my wife pointed it out to me.

Very funny insights everyone, and yes, Jamie infuriating double standards. I witnessed first-hand some of the ways Prince and Larry Graham could pretty much do whatever they want and get away with it so it's no surprise! The Purple One's first talk included an illustration about a dog humping your leg for crap's sake! Anyway, it's all funny and sad all at once!

Whacky comments! What the craziest comment you've ever heard?
by toweragent inlast week a sister in my new hall made the following comment,.
"a brother once told me that it is better to be wrong with the organization, than to be right and be on your own without the organization.".
wow.

One older elder had a theory that he didn't necessarily advertise, but would talk about if asked. He thought (or maybe hoped ) that we would all be naked in the new system. This, since Adam and Eve only felt shame for their nakedness after they sinned!
