so as a child and youth growing up as a witness, (i'm 43 now) we often heard the expression "new world order".. the society just doesnt use that expression anymore.

so what was the reasoning behind them amending that expression?.

The only New World Order I like. They're still around (Couldn't resist posting this once I saw the title of this post. Carry on with the more meaningful conversation guys)

They made Satan and the higher education poster the same color. That's Disney level of subliminal messaging right there.

The Most Hypocritical Talk I've ever heard

by javierjiminy in

pimo filmed a marking talk about him.

crazy how the many of things mentioned are the same thing the borg does, like brainwashing and indoctrinating.

what's crazier is how he's saying to the congregation not to do research or look up bad news articles because they are all "fake news.

WT gives up on making disciples! No joke!

by nowwhat? in

yep, taps out, throws in the towel, waves the white flag!

in today's watchtower it basically said don't expect any results due to widespread apathy and opposition.

but you can still bear fruit just by going through the motions of being regular in field service.

The title of the watchtower is: Jehovah loves those who "bear fruit with endurance."

If the Gov. where you live outlawed the JWs would you turn in your family?

by blownaway in

i guess it would depend for me.

some of my family i would take out bill boards pointing to them.

many of the elders it would be he is over there and set off a neon sign.

javierjiminy

Turn in family, no. Turn in arrogant elders, MS, pioneers, wives, etc, hell yes. When they ask me why I'm turning them in, I would be like Jesus who said : "I never knew you!"

Apostasy: The Movie - Directed by Daniel Kokotajlo

by darkspilver in

daniel kokotajlo's new film apostasy has it's world premiere at the toronto international film festival in september 2017. apostasy.

family and faith come into conflict for two jehovah’s witness sisters in manchester, when one is condemned for fornication and the other pressured to shun her sibling.. this fresh, unadorned first feature from director dan kokotajlo carries an unmistakable note of authenticity from its very first scenes.

set in a jehovah's witness community in england, the film's strength and power lies in its directness.. apostasy depicts the growing rift in a family — a mother and two daughters — who are rigorously devoted to their religion.

I just finished watching the movie. The portrayal of the jw life is real. I love the way the movie had a sad, gloomy atmosphere. jw life is sad and depressing, and is not the #bestlifeever. However, for me this film is a 6.5/10. I wished there would have been more action, drama, or information that really dealt with apostasy. Overall, I feel this movie is best for those who don't know anything about the borg. Personally, I enjoyed Confessions of A Teenage Jesus Jerk more than this film.

Side note: You can rent it for $0.99 on Vudu if you are a first time customer, which I did.

How to spot awake JW at a convention

by Akid48 in

i cant spot one to save my life, so i wanted to now if any one could me figure out how..

javierjiminy

I plan on having a name tag with the words PIMO when I go to my convention in September. When that date comes, I'm going to remind people who may come on this site or reddit that I'll be wearing that. If people ask, I'll simply say it means Pray Intently, Meditate Occasionally. If I happen to run into a fellow PIMO, the fellow PIMO should reply back with "Tight Pants Tony" or some other expression only those awakened would know.
