Such sad news. Mrs Doubtfire, you will be missed.

i thought it was a genuinely old silent movie.
it was prepared for the delegates of the international conventions.
a young man in a sound car goes to different homes in the neighborhood, and comes upon a bereaved husband with two young daughters.
This is a pure propaganda film.
Do the makers of this film honestly have no shame?
They were preaching those words, "Millions Now LIVING Will Never Die". That old lady at the end of the film with the stuffed animal beside her, is supposed to be the little girl that asked her daddy, supposedly about 80 years ago "Does this mean we will see mommy again?" That is an old lady in a nursing home. She will die, just as her father and the young man in the summer boater hat have done. Die. All living things die.
Rutherford lied to gullible people and lived a high life style on those gullible people's donations.
How can WT/JW.org drones get an emotional religious high from these lying words? Do they honestly want to live their whole life, in denial with nothing to show for it, but faithfulness to a man made up business? Have they forgotten how precious life is. Don't they have any wants, needs or desires of their own??? WT/JW.org are making sure they are getting their needs met. How about your needs???
LL
PS Yes, I know this is a movie and the people are actors. I found this film disgusting.
Religion is a snare and a racket. Rutherford knew, Knorr knew and so did Franz, Fred and Ray.
PSS Co Co, You know I you. My words are not aimed at you. I want everyone to wake up and understand that WT/JW.org people are liars. Quick frogs. The water is warming up. Get out while you still can. Hop away and live your life of your own choosing. Not someone else's.
wow, it's true - they don't call to 'promote god's kingdom' anymore but just their website!.
we just had an old lady call and tell us that was exactly what they were doing and it has "lots of good things on their for children".
yeah, right ... sparlock?.
All excellent comments.
What a great group of thinkers!
@Sauerkraut... The Watchtower announcing Jehovah's website. lololol
Let's see. The GB/JW.org own all the KHalls, all the assembly halls, the branches, the Bethel's, cars, equipment, trucks, donated property, etc.
JW drones are building GB/JW.org a brand new compound in upstate New York, no mortgage, no taxes.
They have pledge slips stating how much money is to come from each of their congregations around the world each month. If GB/JW.org doesn't get the proposed amount, they can close up that congregation, sell the KHall and make the rank and file go elsewhere. Ca-ching for them.
GB could have something ready in the wings for whenever the next big catastrophe strikes the US. All GB/JW.org has to say is that the great tribulation is striking and close and sell off all KHalls and say it is too dangerous to 'meet together' and sell all assembly halls too. Then GB/JW.org has lots and lots more of JW drone money for themselves. They then say, "Stay tuned to JW.org for any latest bulletins". lol All the while they are basking in comfort, playing golf, without a care in the world.

how did the secretary introduce a sexual offender or a repeated pedophile to your kingdom hall?
i saw two different "letters of introduction" that really depressed me because i knew both of the victims and their side of the story was not reflected.
how were those letters you read and did they reflect anything or describe the conduct of the sexual predator?.
BSB, rereading your OP, looking down at the 3rd paragraph, the sister was oral sexing a bro... She got DF but nothing happened to him?

BucketShopBill , I appreciate your honesty and sincerity and also the effort you put into tracking down those who were unjustly treated.
I hope you are allowing yourself to heal. Enjoy the sunshine. Enjoy your life. Have you made plans for your future and what you want to do with it?
Remember, anyone who has been a JW has been abused and lied to, from the top, GB/JW.org down. You are out now. Rejoice.

That's fantastic!

well - i had been wanting to do this for a long time , to question a legal department representative at bethel about the child abuse settlements and jw child abuse, since last year when the news came out about it.
especially since my dad , an elder for years was never aware of it and has on his own taken steps to see that families with children are informed if a former pedophile is in their congregation.
i was curious as to what the current views and policies in place are .
Thank you Flipper for standing up for the innocents against the WT/JW.org.
LL
its not like there was anything wrong with them was there?
i used to love the old ones.
these new ones feel like the equivalent of a deflated balloon.. does anyone have the answer?.
As a little girl growing up JW, I looked forward to when I would be deemed old enough to sing with the adult sisters at the LA conventions. Never happened.
The local congo I was in had a sister who had trained to be a concert pianist. We enjoyed her playing for years. It was lovely and a delight to sing with her.
When I moved far away, we had a sister play... She picked notes out with one hand. I love you Sharon and I know you were doing your best and just trying to help the congo out.
Does anyone know John Hurley from Orange County? He played kingdom songs like Liberace.

do jehovah's witnesses actually hate?.
hatred (jwfacts).
the direction given in the watchtower goes strongly against christian examples when demanding members hate an apostate.. *.
Mum. lol
