i've posted this on the wrong section so i'm posting it on here cos its sort of to topic as i know many of you have vids on youtube.
legal department are beginning legal action against google and its uploaders regards to apostate vids that slander the watchtower and/or contain copyrighted material!!!
my hubby knows people who know so heres my warning lol.
Unless you actually broke a law they have no legal recourse, so I wouldn't worry; hey it's free speech baby!
On the other hand I'd like to see them try it because it's gonna open the door for liable and slander lawsuits to poor in because of THEIR DF and shunning policy.
AWE SNAP!
awake 1980 12/08 p.11 the exorcist -"many reports are on file {where at bethel?
} of the adverse effects it had on those who saw it.

Are you just scared shitless or are you being attacked by deemunz?
That's easy! It's deemunz!
Always has been and always will be, so when would you like to start studying?
as an elder, i recall that the husband always had to be present on any judicial committee meeting involving his wife, but that the wife was not to be present on judicial committee meetings involving her husband.
has this changed?
if not, isn't that treating women as lesser persons than their husbands?.
Um, how can you be second class when you aren't really concidered a citizen in the first place?
while visiting with a workmate the other day i got to thinking.
my friend has had the lowest of morals of anyone ive ever met.
she was an illegal drug manufacturer for 20 yrs, jailed 3 times, junkie for 17 years, has been a topless waitress, made porno movies and prostituted herself.
Sometimes we all stand a bit too close to the trees to see the forest, so it can be a bit hard to swallow when someone points out something positive from a major negative.
We must also remember that even though we try to be empathetic we can never really know what someone else has experienced; your friend may not completely grasp what you went through just like you may not fully understand her challenges either.
i loved reading the yearbook each year as soon as it came out....lots of encouraging experiences and they were all true of course, like this one from africa..... yearbook 1967 p.105 "a large crowd was following a man who had a talking serpent {like the muppets}...the serpent gave greetings and spoke in foreign tongues {college educated maybe}....a brother passing by went into the house, as soon as he did the serpent stopped talking.
the man cried out "a magican has entered the room.
" the brother asked the man "is that a serpent or a demon that has spoken to you?...not one serpent has ever spoken except the one in the garden of eden"...seeing that the serpent remained silent the man left the house....he was anxious later to get some literature....".
I always figured they "spruced up" the stories (polished the turd) before they related/printed them, but the more I hear them the more I go, "oh you gotta be making that up".
I wouldn't be surprised if most of their experiences are completely fabricated from old farts and hot air.
can you imagine how much money they must make off of all the assemblies?
i counted at least 211 between this week and end of the year.
if they get paid by each city.... .
I wouldn't be surprised if every convention is held in an area where the WTBT$ can rake in money six ways to Sunday.
There was a scandal here in Washington years ago with the Tacoma Dome. The greedy buggers use to council everyone not to park off site, charge $3 a pop and then stack park/box you in because there wasn't enough room. When they stopped, R&F though it was a loving provision, however the real truth was they got caught (media exposed) charging people for parking when the lots were included; this was in direct violation of the venue agreement that stated the parking was included and that the renter was not to charge. So they raked in the dough for years and still had the nerve to ask for donations to help pay for convention costs!
AND just to ad insult to injury.
When the financial report was read at the last circuit assembly I though, hmm, they own the building and land, all labor for maintenance is free and some materials too, so how much could it really cost? Now I figured since it was a circuit assembly, it was two days meaning we were most likely the only ones to use the building that week; only minimal heat and electricity would be used Mon-Fri and then the building would be in full use Sat & Sun. When I heard the estimated (and I say estimated because how do they know how much it costs until we get the bill?) cost to be somewhere around $15,000 I just about lost it, I thought $15,000 Really?!?!?! I don't think it costs $15,000 to run this place for a week, no way that's gotta be waaaay off! I then whipped out my phone and calculated that if they took in that much every week, or at each assembly so half of the time twice a week, they would be raking in anywhere from a minimum of $780,000 to $1,170,000 annually, HOLY SHIT! They're making bank and this is only one assembly hall, think about how may of these there are, HOLY SHIT! What money hungry greedy bastards.
Needless to say I left rather agitated; I mean having to listen to their horrid bullshit and then hear that, it was just too much.
If R&F would only do some basic math they could see that the $ociety is pulling in the big bucks at these coffer filling wallet revivals; but I guess that’s too much to ask from these brain dead morons.
so, sparlock and the other video's have been a topic of conversation around our house these days.
my 6 year old has been around and evesdropping every chance he can.
he keeps asking to see the video and i keep saying that even though it's a cartoon, it's not suitable for children.
Children's minds are simply not muddled with stuff like adult’s are, so they see right through bullshit.
while not related, it seems that some small issues are being singled out when there are much much bigger fish in need of frying.
.
It's a diversion, a distraction so you, hopefully, don't see what's really going on.
Like a child wildly waving one hand so you don't notice, or focus on, the one in the cookie jar.
The problem with this is, the child doesn’t realize that if see him you see BOTH his hands, eventually you are going to notice that cookies are missing and the kid is the only one with crumbs on his shirt, chocolate around his mouth and cookies on his breath.
i have been to a few funerals and recalled that at many the cloest family members did not cry.. .
ok cultures and a number of factors may explain that, but could crying mean you don't believe in the resurrection?.
is it social compliance?.
Oh you mustn't emote, if you do it will likely lead to a host of other suppressed emotion to come out; you know, the stuff that has been bottled up and held under wash-towel lock and key.
were you feeling the love from the "brothers" and "sisters"?
if you did, for how long?
?.
Love? Hell to the nizzo!
Contempt? You betcha!
I'm a born-in and the conned-green-nation never love-bombed me; oh and I'm a woman so I guess I wasn't worth the effort either.
