You have missed the point entirely and shame on you for choosing such a terrible argument. Although you might not suffer in prison as you would in China, every country on earth has a similar situation if you enter ILLEGALLY. The key word is illegally. You will 100% be deported at the minimum from Canada, all of Europe and do not even start with the Middle East nations.

There is no justification for this. None. I'm not arguing that the commercial should not be aired (as you said this is America and we have that wonderful right to do so) but I'm arguing the content is disturbing and suggestive of condoning illegal activity.

I dread having to go but I know I must attend for my family. I do not look forward to this. Perhaps I will bring an alcoholic beverage and walk around the whole time.

84 Lumber Commercial

just saw this commercial and was very impressed.

hoping more companies start doing the same.

most of us are immigrants.

I am an immigrant but I find that commercial disgusting! I came here legally with my family. This video is condoning illegal immigration?

As a Korean if I were to illegally enter China do you know what would happen to me if I over stayed my visa? First I would be put into a Chinese jail for 6 months until a trial could be held. Then if I get a fair trial I may have to serve time or pay a fine. Then I would be deported and never allowed to enter again. If I tried to then I would be put in prison for 30-40 years.

I am so sick of the mass hysteria about this situation. Shame on OP for thinking this was a good commercial.

There is nothing "Christ-like" about the way the JW's are taught to treat other humans! Disgusting!

Some powerful stuff against the WT

by Giordano in

in another thread a poster has been in a pitched fight with others about the results from the arc.

trying to explain away the results and minimizing the damages.

what he has failed to understand is that the society had and still does have certain policies in place that hide the sexual abuse of minors.

kpop

Thank you OP for this! I have just emailed this link to a fading friend of mine who just needs a push to wake up. He seems to be half in and out because of his family but he already had doubts when they started to preach about overlapping generations and other nonsense.

Why did C T Russell choose 606 BC?

by shepherdless in

i recently commented on a thread in relation to the 607 bc - 1914 ad calculation, listing problems with the logic and mathematics.

afterwards, i wondered what made ct russell choose 606 bc in the first place.

here is my research so far.. i had read somewhere a suggestion that 606 bc was a number ct russell got from nathan balbour who in turn got it from william miller of the millerites.

Why? Because he was a lunatic who measured pyramids for dates.

Thank you for the link Mr Fat! I will save this for later.

A brother repeated a "rumor" from the platform last night.

i seem to remember many talks and articles in the past about repeating rumors.last night before going into the book study the conductor said something to the effect, "i heard a rumor and i don't know if it's true but the rumor is that in the future we will be using only;y videos at the door.".

anyone else heard this "rumor"?.

and whats up with repeating rumors from the platform?

kpop

Very interesting! Of course the JW cult is looking to reduce printing costs and videos are the easiest way to do it

Please forgive me if this is too intrusive but what did you get disfellowshipped for? If too private then no need to answer and I apologize!

I'm curious because I am hearing rumors that they want to make it less common to disfellowship unless the person is really evil and a threat to the congregation.
