by Witness 007 in

our witness friend who during covid grew his beard has been hassled by elders who asked him "why" he chose to have facial growth.

We have Blackbeard The Pirate doing bad things like pillaging villages, torture and murder. Notice his dirty, straggly beard. He now is resurrected to life in Paradise.

Now, Blackbeard's ( played by Tony Orlando ) conduct changes with a Bible study and literature. In order to show how meek and how much he loves Jehovah, he shaves his straggly beard, cuts his hair and (somehow ) is resurrected in his old Pirate clothes

What a hoot! This’d be hilarious if we didn’t know that the Borg actually is serious about this stuff.

Where it all went wrong for the WT - JF Rutherford

by LoveUniHateExams in

i was thinking a bit about this the other day.

ct russell, from what i remember about him, kinda seemed like a genuine, nice(ish) guy, although he had a few eccentric but harmless ideas.. during the russell era jws (actually bible students) could still celebrate christmas, worship in other churches if there was no kingdom hall available, and accept blood transfusions.. then after russell died, along came rutherford - a major league a-hole, for sure.. rutherford had plenty of eccentric ideas but at least some of them weren't/aren't harmless.

some have been long forgotten about - jesus depicted without a beard, the plan to rename the names of the week because names such as thursday (thor's day) is pagan, the articles about the 'dangers' of aluminium, etc.. one key contribution of rutherford which does a lot of harm is no blood transfusions, even in life-threatening situations.. another is shunning, something which never occurred under russell, or at least was much milder.. rutherford has a lot to answer for, i reckon ....

You talk disparagingly about his theological training, but which theological school did the apostle Peter attend, or James or John

Ahem, Jesus himself.

ALL of the subsequent WT leaders and many of the R & F have followed in these footsteps that glorify ignorance, the uneducated and self-righteousness.

Sea Breeze has nailed it!

Let’s not be genteel about it, he wanted to fuck whoever he could.

Love has nothing to do with it.

Thoughts on the "movie" studios that are being built?

by enoughisenough in

as far as i know ramapo and one in australia are being built.

while on the topic i saw a leaked letter, that the average publishers won't be invited to be actors.

( ahh!

Yep, here in the land Downunder my neighbours have built a series of buildings (sheds) that look quite neat but not much movie-making activity to be seen yet.
