.. Nice, so now it's theocratic soap operas; what's next? Sophia and Caleb action figures? Freddie and Big Daddy Knorr must be spinning in their graves!

It seems to me that their saying "we don't impose our beliefs on anyone" is a back-handed validation of their new stationary literature cart effort. -

Billy's comments to the RC #1 - "We always require at least two witnesses... except for when we don't."
by Billy the Ex-Bethelite ini'm still trying to catch up on the rc broadcast posted to youtube, and i haven't been able to keep up with everything discussed here about it.
however, there have been a few points that i wish i could submit.
repeatedly it has been stated that unless there is a confession, jcs can only act on testimony if it is corroborated by two or more witnesses to the wrongdoing.

... and what of the death sentence imposed on a rapist in the circumstances described in Deuteronomy 22:25 .. an assault on an engaged woman alone in a field, far from the eyes of any witnesses? -

I suspect one reason their priorities are so skewed toward protection of the accused, is that most of these are appointed elders and/or ministerial servants, not generally of the peripheral rank-and-rile members or "hangers on".... it's an indictment of their "appointment by holy spirit" fantasy. -

Anthony Morris III publicly admits that he doesnt enjoy Field Service
by Calebs Airplane in2pm, january 9, 2010 san juan, puerto rico.... jws from all over the island take turns to use the biggest coliseum in the caribbean (jose miguel agrelot coliseum).
the big event... a brief 2-hour assembly featuring brooklyn bethel celebrities including anthony morris iii.
there had been a lot of excitement building up in the days preceding this event as there were rumors circulating that the society had a very special announcement to make.. after 2 ambiguous talks from 2 bethel speakers, anthony morris iii finally takes the stage and everyone is so thrilled to see him up close or on the big screen behind the stage.

"Also, that new PSA is good in that it encourages young ones how to react if someone does something inappropriate and makes them feel uncomfortable in any way, but it still fails to address the problem of pedophiles in the organization!"
Oubliette, the problem with the PSA as I see it, is it puts the onus on THE CHILD to protect him/herself.

Governing Body Obesity
by Calebs Airplane innot sure if this subject has been covered recently but i thought i'd make this observation anyway.... i remember when the word "gluttony" was a frequently mentioned sin in public talks, in the wt publications, in convention talks, etc.. in fact, in the 80's and 90's it wasn't unusual to hear the words "gluttony" and "disfellowship" mentioned in the same sentence.
i haven't been to a meeting in over 5 years, so i'm not sure if they still harp on the subject of gluttony or other excesses.
but i can't help but notice how much heavier the gb 2.0 has become compared to previous regimes.

BY contrast, the old-guard GB members -- Knorr, Franz, Suiter, etc., were a "lean and hungry" lot.....check out their group photos online ... they had a lot more "gravitas" and much less "avoirdupois" than our current set of teletubbies.
