mark sanderson's fake and vivid imagination experience starts at the 1 minute 30 second mark:.
goes out with local brothers and sisters in door to door service.
I know that the GB say that it's okay to lie, but surely this is pushing the envelope beyond the limits of sanity! Do PIMIs really buy these outright porky pies?
Now I'm waiting for the story of the GB member crossing a crocodile infested river, while being protected by his African brothers. 🙄
do you recall any?.
i was told that john denver hated jw's with a vengeance - any truth in that?.
also, annie lennox - i was told before a concert she asked any jw's present to leave?.
SydBarrett: This! "How can we make our small group look important on the world stage?" 🙄

"Jw’s do work in the industry, it’s a big industry."
I just thought that Hollywood and the broader industry might be a bit morally ambiguous* to attract the average JW.

Thanks, BoogerMan!
awake 1976 - should a pocket calculator be in your pocket?.
somehow this totally zany 'bible based' article passed me by first time around!.
anyone remember it?.
"I'm sure the real reasoning behind that article was more medical quackery intimating one shouldn't have anything electronic too near your body bits - hint hint! 🍆🍒"
"Should a Pocket Calculator Be in Your Pocket?" ...or are you just glad to see me? 😻

"The “Johnny Carson” epilogue where Johnny kicks John off the stage for hating JWs was pure JW fantasy."
The idea that there would be that many JWs working in Hollywood is pretty damned far-fetched in its own right. Luckily, they've got their own Hollywood now. Well, they will if they ever get it built.
attended the friday sesson of the 2024 summer convention.. july 5, 2024 summer convention crowd photo; they invited quite a lot of empty chairs.. .
the facility usually has 5500-6500. they spun it saying that fewer congregations were assigned.
there were 6 of the smaller, more distant sections blocked off with tarps to lessen cleaning, which i understand.
In honour of 1914, a lot of attendees attended "invisibly".

I don't know that any celebs would outright hate the JWs, even if they are an ex. They'd probably see the current ones as simply misinformed, as were they, and be reasonably tolerant. It'd be the current JWs who'd be shunning them.
M.J. would have been somewhat justified if he had an axe to grind, but he never seemed to go there. I doubt many JWs went to his concerts anyway*.
* "Bad association" and all that 🙄
like the org just gives up and comes out saying that all of what they are saying is untrue and that there is no armageddon, nothing.
how do y’all think the the members still in it would react?.
there be a mental health crisis i perhaps.
To a certain extent that happened to Armstrong's lot after he died. Unfortunately for the JWs the WT is not a single weirdo directing it any more. It's a large amorphous monstrosity that has been designed to outlast the death of any individual. Which is totally paradoxical, when you think about it. Millions then living were supposed to be alive under the new system and the current arrangement would be obsolete.
They'll not be voluntarily dispersing any time; the system is too entrenched. If it collapses, it'll be due to external pressure.
