This movie had so many scams in it , i wonder if it was written by a JW, especially during the great depression.

This thread reminds me of the funny scenes in "Paper Moon" with tatum oneal, where they go around the country reading obituaries and selling them bibles that their recently departed ordered for them. This movie depicts the vulnerable people are right after a death and how people (or WT) take advantage of them.

Rudofl Steiner

by Brokeback Watchtower in

rudolf steiner 1861-1925, developed eurythmy a performance art.

he wrote hundreds of books, a brilliant person in many fields from austria(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/rudolf_steiner).. steiner advocated a form of ethical individualism, to which he later brought a more explicitly spiritual approach.

he based his epistemology on johann wolfgang goethe's world view, in which "thinking… is no more and no less an organ of perception than the eye or ear.

JW Jokes

by OnTheWayOut in

they don't want you to donate blood because..... .....it might be within the erection of a homosexual act at any time.

watchtower tried to become the internet service provider of their members...... ......but their virus software kept deleting all but 144,000 select files.

what do you get when you cross a devil worshipper with a jehovah's witness?

Pondering the real numbers

by Deltawave in

i was sat in the assembly hall yesterday, wondering how many pimo ones like me there was there.

or even if they don't know ttatt still don't believe it for whatever reason.. i think there must be more of (us) there than we all realise.

i mean, brothers reaching out is at an all time low, information via the internet is at an all time high and the preaching work has now become a motionless, speechless babysitting of a book shelf advertising a website as someone here pointed out!.

Betheliesalot

Sometimes I change my wifi name to TTATT, and a few times I spell it out. You can see a lot of goofy wifi names too at assemblies. Thank goodness for iPads to keep our minds wandering.

Today's WT Paragraph 4

by Slidin Fast in

i thought that this little gem deserved a thread of it's own.. 4. why is it important for us to be present at the memorial if at all possible?.

4 reflect on the importance of attending the memorial.

remember, congregation meetings are part of our worship.

Betheliesalot

The first paragraph has the most cultish sentence I have seen them put into writing . "Each year, this observance is the most amazing unifying event that takes place on planet earth." Only those fully in can swallow this imaginary image that there is nothing else going on that evening anywhere on earth, geez its getting so deep.
