  traditional English words and phrases.

  something i found on facebook..... a bit of interesting history reading .... enjoy ...they used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery.......if you had to do this to survive you were "piss poor".

  but worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot......they "didn't have a pot to piss in" & were the lowest of the low.

  the next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be.

  For me, the theocratic ministry school (TMS) played a huge part in my overcoming a speech impediment - I stuttered / stammered. As part of my job description / role I am expected to give presentations at management meetings therefore the skills I learnt at the TMS has helped me considerably.

  Leaked videos - Why?

  by NewYork44M in

  thank you to those that have passed on "leaked" videos.

  one point that i have not seen discussed is "why" apostates are getting these videos.. are videos getting out because of a lack of internal controls, or are there more than a few disloyal insiders that are more than happy to pass on inside information.

  or, is there a strategic intent of releasing leaked videos?.

  My guess would be a combination of the above.

  JWs at the Movies

  so i was watching some of the dramas screened at the be courageous convention, and one caught my eye.. it's the scene where a group of jw teens are watching something deemed as "sinful" at the movie theaters.

  there were only sound effects, so i decided to fill in the blanks.. https://vimeo.com/275184883.

  bottom line: machine guns = bad.

  Great post, JoHo.

  I think the videos that are being produced and broadcast at these conventions are becoming more and more ridiculous.

  First the 'Bunker' video, and now a major 'SWAT' team confronting them in a forest.

  Sheer paranoia!

  PS: isn't it ironic that the very imagery they condemn in 'worldly' films such as violence, fear and terror - they now incorporate in their videos.
