actors' acceptance speeches have often been a little dodgy - viewers don't care what political or social views actors may have, we typically appreciate actors acting well.. this year's oscars awards ceremony seems to be going above and beyond, however.. here's frances mcdormand's acceptance speech, in which she dedicates her victory to 'our wolf' and then howls like a bitch, lol.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-_be0awgwk.
My girlfriend and I always watched the different awards shows. The shows are so woke now, it’s just not interesting! I never have cared what an actor thinks. Like they should be preaching to us what we should think?? Please.
LOL, you had to do a double take to make sure you were not watching JW Broadcasting sunday service
here are some questions to ask witnesses.
how would you alter or improve or add to them?.
transparency questions.
Martin Luther is responsible for having 7 books removed from the Bible. Luther's list of books to remove also included Hebrews, James, Jude and Revelation. The reason Luther wanted to have all these books removed was because these books conflicted with his teaching of of saved by faith alone without works. Does your Bible translation remove the same 7 books because your religion teaches saved by faith alone?
this is a valid question but most JWs don't care too much about bible history and how it got here.
Why do those who take the lead in your religion refuse to apologize, let alone acknowledge, their mistakes in doctrine, later changed, that adversely affected your membership such as those who went to prison for not accepting mandatory alternative service offered in lieu of compulsory military service by the government or of those who died for refusing to accept medical treatment involve blood fractions?
You will be surprised by how little those in the org know about their religion and some of its inner workings.
i don't think anyone has mentioned that the february 2021 study wt (p. 15, 16; par.
8) changed wt's long standing view on headship within the congregation.
wt used to view all baptized males as being the head of all baptized sisters.. this view led to such absurdities as a sister having to wear a head covering on a bible study because her baptized 10 year old son was sitting in on the study with her.
The sister is speaking in the congregation *** under the auspices, control of a male (the conductor) , his headshio.
*** in violation of the "lords commandments in 1 Cor 14 and 1 Tim. 2. silence ladies please, how pleasing.
good point @waton,
How convenient for the WT.

IXAV, I don't give a rats ass about some microphone holder in Hollyweird. The only time I will pay for a movie is when I agree with the message and its a vote from me to support it. I.E. No safe spaces or some other movie about how the left is destroying the nation. Other than that I do buy Netflix but as for new releases its free of I pass. There are many ways to watch without paying these over paid idiots.
As the JW will say, Jah gave us free will

same old WT, the more the go on about this the more the will alienate some but the core believers will stay no matter what they say,
^^^ this is the title of a youtube video made by a teacher of 16 and 17 year old eton students.
he made it as a study aid with the idea being that it would stimulate debate.. eton superiors told him to remove it from the lessons, which the teacher did.
they then told him to remove it from his personal youtube account, which he refused.
just because people (feminist etc) challenge the status quo doesn't mean that they want to turn society on its head - er, yeah, they do. You haven't been paying close enough attention.
Ok, now is your turn to give an example.
Progress as we know it has often been a result of people challenging current views and forcing society to think differently - ok, but what happens when all legitimate demands have been met?
Someone will find something else to bitch about. The quest is insatiable.

The left is going to have to learn a hard lesson. We or many of us don't want to watch some woke BS movie where blacks are inserted and out of place and we don't need nor want some stupid BS lesson on inclusion or any other woke crap. Personally I do not watch any movies that have an obvious woke theme or placement of blacks that are out of place and therefor a message. the awards are nothing more than a circle jerk. I never watch the crap and I don't watch sports at all. And if I want a movie that is out in theaters there are many ways to watch without giving dollars to Hollyweird.
This comment is loaded. You are equating the woke movement with paying people for their work in Hollywood. As you rightly said that you don't watch what you don't like and that make sense. However, trying to find "many ways to watch without giving dollars to Hollyweird" penalizes also those who might share your point of view of the Woke moment. They still need a job and they need to get paid.
good to see you again!
much discussion now about the fallout that is coming due to impacts of the pandemic combined with the long-term downward spiral of jw.org.
i am active as a pimo and my wife is pimi....much of our personal conversation and conversation with others in jw land focuses on how things will play out for jw.org in the next 12-24 months.
They will not eliminate the DFing. In Belgium and France, some years back, they changed the wording for DFing from "Exclure" to Excommunication to match what the Catholic church uses as there were legal reasons not to "Exclude" someone. If the courts are going to go after the JWs, they will scream discrimination and say that the Catholic church does the same.
Notice the language use in the following question from readers. The basically said not we don't reject or exclude ex-JW we just want them to come back to their former faith...

1. Does the activity require that a sister pray publicly or teach from the Bible while a baptized brother is present?—1 Cor. 11:4, 5.
2. Even if a baptized male is not present, would this assignment normally be done by a baptized brother?—1 Tim. 2:11, 12; Heb. 13:17.
3. If the sister is married, is her husband present while she publicly prays for others or teaches them from the Bible?—1 Cor. 11:3.
I like how they spin the bible to say whatever they want. What does "publicly prays" mean in the context of a home bible study? If a woman is in her house, this is not public prayer and the presence of her husband is irrelevant but this is the WT

They can sidestep the elders that way. Plus they been complaining for years abouth DFing people for small things. If they go online basically congregation arrangements will stop to exist, no need to DFing people anymore. CO arrangement haven't improved anything in congregations.
if you look at the JW as a business corporation that it is, there is no way to control that many people without middle management that the Elders/COs and Branches committees are.
