i bought the book for a number of reasons:.
1. it sounds brill.. 2. it sounds like the kind of people who read are rather clever and well educated (and i want to be one of them).. 3. i may find it interesting how it relates to the jws.. regarding the latter, does anyone have any thoughts and feeling on this point, or is there anything i should look out for when comparing what orwell writes about with the jws?.
timmy :).
Great choice TimothyT, you'll really enjoy it. How much did i enjoy it? Check out my username....
Animal Farm is an even better comparison to what life as a JW is like. The parallels, especially when you know it was written about Communism and Stalin, are very interesting.
I wrote a list of the comparisons I found most profound. You might enjoy having a read through:
i know a statement like this has appeared in the literature but i cannot find it.
searching this forum, i am unable to find a conversation on it.. .
it's out there somewhere.
Andre. LOL, gets me every time!
...and they're clearly in the mood for pushing it on youtube.. .

what is it with all these random youtube channels, each showing polished and highly-produced videos.
@Slimboyfat: Yes, but don't use it on the stage. That's bad. People could get jealous.

I guess the good thing is, if people go to YouTube, both the public and JWs, and search for "Jehovah's Witnesses" they'll have to wade through a pile of anti-JW stuff to find anything pro.
I'm guessing it was embedded on the official site and the guy who posted it lifted the link to 'spread the word'. Naughty naughty.

You're right Cedars, while it is simple and wouldn't have cost that much, the quality, clarity and graphics show some serious time input. If they are not from the WTS, then whoever did this has a lot of time on their hands (and lots of international friends!). Perhaps making these kinds of things is now considered 'alternative witnessing' ha ha. Hmm count your time while storyboarding, count it while filming, count it while editing. Each view on YouTube counts as a return visit. Sweeeeeeeet.
If I have read the court docs right, this does not have anything to do with the verdict. The verdict has been made and the WTS was found negligent and ordered to pay money as punishment. The disucussion now is how much will they pay? The court has suggested a lower amount and said we will go to a new trial about the money, but Candace, if you accept this amount we'll do no more. If the WTS says,"we don't want to pay that money" by appealing, every year the case goes on, they will be up for 10% on top of the offered amount.
That is my understanding.
Sorry for the double post before,not sure what happened there!
Atlantis, thanks for posting the docs.
This report on JWB indicates that Candace will take the money on offer. If the WTS decides to fight this lower amount, they will have to pay 10% interest.

hi guys & gals!.
the watchtower society have once again ignored the tent makers wise words to not go beyond what is written in the bible.. how many times has the watchtower society gone beyond what is written in the bible?.
http://www.jehovahswitnessblog.com/bible/do-not-go-beyond-the-things-that-are-written/.
Good article. Within two sentences they contradict themselves and equate their publications with the bible. That's some WTS gold right there.
i kid you not.
the latest watchtower study edition has the following question under consideration in the "questions from readers" article on page 20:.
do jesus words found at matthew 19:10-12 suggest that those who choose to remain single have received the gift of singleness in a mysterious way?.
I agree with Jadeen. That is totally the sort of question Andre would ask.
