  This year’s convention

  by lastmanstanding in

  two things i noted at this year’s rc.

  1) the new teaching with respect to matthew 25:45 which was applied equally to the rank & file jw.

  this teaching is also found in the watchtower study for last sunday.. then he will answer them, saying: ‘truly i say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of these least ones, you did not do it to me.. 2) the new armageddon video which was a big shift.

  God forbid that they should ever come to acknowledge that Christ's parable was intended to blessing all those doing good to our fellow humans with whom we share this tiny planet.

  "Trump is doing things, and doing exactly what he said he was going to do, and what he was voted in for."

  Like what, exactly? Where's his health care initiative? Mexico's check for the border wall? Revitalization of the domestic coal industry? The grandiose promises of a massive job-creating infrastructure upgrade?

  Everything Happens For A Reason

  does everything happen for a reason?

  i hear this from so many people without any explanation as how this is so.

  what do you think about this belief?

  Of course everything happens for a reason; the great "why" seems to me the foundational proposition of science. Quantum physics represents an effort to explain the nature of light, among other observable phenomena.

  How any American citizen professing even a modicum of patriotism can countenance -- much less endorse -- Trump's traitorous refusal to punish Russia's attempted sabotage of our democratic processes, with anyting less than outrage -- is beyond me.

  Or how the dwindling members of the Greatest Generation feel about his Charlottesville rationaliziation of neo Nazism as they go to their graves.

  Leaked videos - Why?

  by NewYork44M in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  thank you to those that have passed on "leaked" videos.

  one point that i have not seen discussed is "why" apostates are getting these videos.. are videos getting out because of a lack of internal controls, or are there more than a few disloyal insiders that are more than happy to pass on inside information.

  or, is there a strategic intent of releasing leaked videos?.

  My impression is that they're coming from disillusioned insiders who see the disclosures as ways to embarrrass leadership, militate for changes and/or disabuse the naive rank- and-file of any fanciful notions as to the inner workings of leadership.

  JWs at the Movies

  by Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho in

  1. social
  2. humour

  so i was watching some of the dramas screened at the be courageous convention, and one caught my eye.. it's the scene where a group of jw teens are watching something deemed as "sinful" at the movie theaters.

  there were only sound effects, so i decided to fill in the blanks.. https://vimeo.com/275184883.

  bottom line: machine guns = bad.
