And theyve got the nerve to tell people about materialism. Jesus didnt have a place to lay his head and these cocksuckers are making money hand over fist in the real estate business. hypocritcal much?

Could the New Light About the Faithful&Discrete Slave Open the Governing Body to more Lawsuits?
by frankiespeakin incan a skillful lawyer use this information in court as evidence of lack of fullfillment of fuduciary duty on thier part since they claim to be the only true religion and obedience is a life and death matter.. just saying could not the governing body just be falling into a trap of thier own making and not even be consciously realizing it?
and maybe consciously and unconsciously thier legal team is pushing them that way conspiracy theorys could take many turns on that one.. how about conspiracies that operate in the collective unconscious level, conspirering against them unconscious to them making themselve thier own worst enemy..

They might be pious and crazy enough to believe that by opening themselves up to legal attacks, if the secular authorities go after them it will be like touching Jehovah's eye. Maybe even viewing it as God's direction to entice Gog thinking he has an opening when all along it was a trap.

Hmmmm, and nobody got decapitated after a lap dance? No stories of any hangings at a bakery? Something tells me the opening poster isnt being very truthful.
Regardless, happy birthday.

The Governing Body "Programming Innocent Children" Harmful or Benign?
by frankiespeakin inof course sparlock as a programing tool needs to be examined.
children have a very active imagination, what message are they sending to childrens brains(psyche)/computer/quamtum mind/or what ever your choice for intelligence is called.. are these just innocent well meaning old men on the governing body?
or this an unconsious move of repressed evil from thier psyche's shadow?.

Horrifying kids with death at armagendom if they disobey Jehovah/(Governing Body) is far more sinister.
Like I said, I haven't seen the DVD, probably won't as I'd rather catch eyelid cancer. I'm under the impression that the only thing said along those lines was that "Sparlock displeases Jehovah who wants to be your friend." I don't know if they went all out on that destruction at Armageddon theme. Then again kids are smarter and able to put two and two together more than we give them credit for so maybe the WT didn't need to spell that part out. Again I could be wrong having not watched the DVD.

I'd say it's well meaning on their part in the sense that the GB truly does believe magic is something detestable to Jehovah, whether as entertainment or otherwise. . They truly do believe they're combatting Satan's attacks on JW children, attacks which includes Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc..
I can't say I've watched the Sparlock DVD in it's entirety, and realliy have no intention, but compared to other ways the WT seeks to manipulate young people and their parents, Sparlock comes off tame to me.

How many non-believers on the inside
by biblecheck init's taken me about 7 years after leaving the watchtower, to become actively involved within the exjw communities.
as part of this i created a couple of videos to, hopefully, help some others.
but what amazed me was the number of people who have pm'd me via youtube who are still active members of the watchtower - who know it's not the truth - but haven't left.

I think the old adage about actions speaking louder than words holds true. If the average JW really believed that the message they deliver to people at the doors was life saving and that the end was imminent, the average hours reported every month would be a heluva lot higher than roughly 10 hours a month. The WT wouldn't have to encourage people to pioneer, or discourage college educations. They wouldn't have to print articles emphasizing how wonderful and blessed it is being a JW is because it simply would go without saying. The lack of action by the average JW is a solid indicator of their half-heartedness about WT's directives. These JWs probably recognize that's something is really really wrong with the religion's leaders even if they don't have the courage or the know-how to articulate it.
We had some visitors to our congregation that serve where the need is great. They were interviewed, presented as sterling examples of what JWs should do with their lives. The brother directing this part asked if there was any questions for the visitors after the part. A couple folks raised their hand, and to be fair many maybe couldn't think of anything to ask on short notice, or were too nervous. The far majority however, really just wanted the meeting to be over so they can go about their affairs. Examples like that, and what's presented at the assemblies and conventions, in the literature, etc., don't motivate the average JW. To be sure, yeah some really can't rearrange their life situations to pioneer, that's true. However the far majority simply don't want to pioneer. If reaching out to be a Ministerial Servant or Elder is so wonderful and makes Jehovah so happy, why don't more brothers do it? It's simple, they don't believe in this crap, but their stuck. So they're playing the game.
I'd venture to say possibly a 1/3 of active JWs recognize something is possibly wrong with half of that same population being absolutely certain that something is wrong have researched enough to support their conclusion. The other 2/3 can be defined as a combination of die-hards, people who are JWs for the same reason born-in Catholics still define themselves as Catholic, and the rest are lackadaisical.
