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.
This movie is available on Amazon Prime for $3.99 or $4.99 streaming rental.
This movie is SO realistic. Paul Grundy and James Penton are in the credits as part of a list of people thanked for their help in making the movie.
It is very fair. As mentioned elsewhere on this board, if you COULD get a JW to watch it, they would have to admit the fairness and the way elders, publishers etc are portrayed. Certainly not over dramatized or over acted.
... and apparently justin trudeau wears them.
also, they can come off or slip down while you are doing a press-conference to a global audience.
what a god awful embarrassment this fool is, he should stick to his indian costume dress-up and dancing routine.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g46km4da3yw.
…..and is this worse than an Orange comb over?
so 9 months before i started pioneering, i had a hot and heavy moment with this player witness who was just trying to string me along and talked to a lot of different girls.
we made out and he grabbed my goodies a few times you know the regular stuff all teens do at least once.
anyways i never saw him again because when i refused to send him nudes he dropped me.
Interesting that the Elder's manual says that if it is discovered that an Elder or Ministerial Servant committed a gross wrong several years ago that they may be able to continue serving.
Shame that your nemesis didn't wait another year so you could plead several years ago! Not that it would matter, you are just a lowly female pioneer!
what splain does in his talk and chart illustration is make the leap that a generation can have two groups.
and in this case the two groups span more than 108 years.
but no where in scripture is there ever a notion that a generation has two groups.
Since we are on the subject, yesterday on the TV show Jeopardy, there was a question about the length of a generation, and the answer..... 30 years!
i see there has already been discussion over lloyd’s new book how to leave the jehovah's witnesses.
this includes discussion around his personality, motives and financial gains.
i have written a foreword for this book, because it is an important topic that has not been covered in such a complete format before.
Well said Paul. Thank you.
i don’t care about it unless someone runs on a record of being a model family man or woman.. does it bother you if a president or princess or top government official “cheats “??
?.
I like the fact that Trump's infidelity emphasizes the "Christian right" hypocrisy.
a letter was read tonight in our kingdom hall that the money that the circuits in the indianapolis area had in savings to build a new assembly hall will now be transferred to the www to build kingdom halls in lands where they are needed and a new assembly hall for us will not be built.. we had a beautiful assembly hall near downtown indy that was paid for.
it was sold a couple of years ago.
we were promised a new assembly hall to be built in southern ohio near the indiana border but they can kiss that goodbye now.
....hmm
Not doing what you said you would?
What happened to :
Matthew 5:37 Just let your word ‘Yes’ mean yes, your ‘No,’ no, for what goes beyond these is from the wicked one.
... the walls are transparent.
so if you want to help the fly escape you first have to convince the fly that it's in a bottle, and only then can it find its way out.
that is taken from this american life episode 635 called "chip in my brain".
I was surprised he was found guilty, especially in the State of Texas. It is a religiously conservative State and there are a lot of fundamentalists, many of which believe in the implanted chip being the Mark Of The Beast. No one can buy or sell without the Mark.
That is what AJ believes too, but like you said he was excellent at employing "Theocratic Warfare" he just probably known it is called that!
Thanks for the link.
is this true?
is this really true?!.

Did you notice they refer to "the male animal?"
Does that mean they now support evolution, we are merely animals and not the image of God?
