Man Can't Rule Himself
by falseprophet in

i've heard it said from the platform that "man can't rule himself".. satan challenged god's authority and god left man to rule himself.. unfortunately, god changed the rules and man now dies.

so each generation or two* needs a new ruler with new rules.. it seems that either man dies or god is ruler in the mind of a jw.

this isn't true - mathematically this creates four scenarios:.

UK convention dramas recorded by American actors - the GB's yearly gaffe
by cedars in

i'm just curious as to whether any of my fellow brits ever pondered how the society can be so stupid as to insist using the us drama tapes at uk conventions rather than having them re-recorded in a british accent?.

as all of us brits know, the convention drama is a subject of subdued derision among uk publishers - and i've been to many a party or social gathering where, at some point, somebody whose had a little too much coke re-enacts a scene from a drama mockingly (typically by gesturing wildly into the air and saying "jer-ho-vah gaaard!!

" in an over-the-top american accent).. what the society clearly doesn't understand is that the dramas really lose their emotional impact with british audiences when performed in an american accent by amateurs.

i posted about something similar 3 years ago when i first joined.

even though my attendance hasn't been great the last year or so, i was asked to help my bro in law in first aid this year at the convention.

to make a long story short, the society has printed instructions for attendants to not cal 911 for an emergency.
