  Anyone read the latest Awake (on the supernatural)?

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  2. beliefs

  just read some of this latest awake on the org's webshite.. it begins by talking about the 'supernatural' - wizards, witches, vampires, etc.

  - their popularity and why they might appeal to people.

  then it goes on to state the wt belief that someone is 'behind it'.. now, i like a few horror/scary films - when i was a kid, i always actually liked being a bit scared by them, tbh.. the silence of the lambs, a nightmare on elm street (1984), the ring, the witch, the thing (1982) and a few others are all great, imo.. they are just genres and subgenres of film, that's all.

  I know many of the young people in the film. It was mostly filmed in and around Hackensack, NJ, by a wealthy JW named Timothy Galfas. He was a producer of film and tv commercials etc. and a close associate of Milton Henschel, and other big shots.Hackensack is a short drive to NY, and he often entertained senior Bethelites there, with lavish dinners on the weekends.

  Quite remarkably, Galfas was given a pass on sporting a goatee, and generally appeared to be "bullet-proof" and "untouchable" by the locals because of his relationship to Bethel heavies.

  He even conducted the WT at the local KH and had parts at circuit assemblies, usually involving "family values," during which he would trot out his gaggle of kids. (all cute) ... don't remember how many, but it was at least five..onto the stage. There was some local grumbling about his having allegedly filmed a Marlboro cigarette commercial (in fairness, I don't know if he actually did), but again, the locals were advised to give him a pass.

  Max Larson, and one Dave Madsen, if I recall, also acted in the film.

  who are the now dead ones giving evidence of their non captivity to babylon etc?

  They're very bold when speaking to the initiated, but scurry away like cockroaches when confronted by the public, especially journalists.

  the jws have tried to pad the number of jws in camps.

  how many actually went and how many died?

  can you site the source also?

  I wonder just how many of the numbers of the prisoners counted as JWs in the camps were actually Russelite Bible Student defectors from the Rutherfordite WT organization; it's unlikely that their Nazi captors would recognize the distinction.

  The JW governing body are all overweight, creepy looking little men

  having seen a few of these tv productions and some youtube clips of their assembly parts, how can jehovah's witnesses really take these silly little men seriously?.

  you take one look at them; their overweight, fat little bodies.

  their entirely shabby, overhanging suits.

  It creeps me out when David Splane or some one of them says "The governing body loves you all very much" ... yech!
