"My book of bible stories" is child abuse!!
by Witness 007 ini once gave this book to a woman with kids at the door...to my shock my next visit she gave it back saying it was discusting and full of violence and sex!
this book was clearly written by some bethel loser with no kids.
i don't understand why witnesses don't have a separate kids school..

Does that book have images of Jesus nailed to a stake? If so, was that one of the images that the parent in question objected to?

Linus Sebastian runs the Linus Tech Tips channel, which he grew into a large and quite successful media company, which runs a number of channels and employs 90 people. You are correct, that any similarities are dwarfed by the differences- Linus created a massively successful business, which has probably fed his ego and led to overextending himself and creating the controversy that he is dealing with now.
Lloyd created a channel and skipped past the success part and straight to being a controversial character whose ethics and reliability are being questioned.

Linus and his wife still own LMG. The CEO position was handed to someone else, which means someone else is doing the boring-yet-vital task of running the mundane day-to-day stuff. Linus gets to make videos and rake in the money.
He's doing a pretty good impersonation of Evans, all told.

Here's a prediction: when all of the new and current predictions fail, someone will come along with a new set of predictions and insist that those are reliable because they're based on an accurate interpretation of a book that people haven't been able to reach a consensus on after two-thousand years of study and discussion (and lots and lots of bloodshed). All previous predictions were flawed and those people simply did not have the requisite "new" light to understand what was really written.
And I didn't have to interpret a book to come to this conclusion. I just had to look at the past two-thousand years of human behavior. Because the more things change...

No more judicial committee if maybe suicidal
by ExBethelitenowPIMA inthe new direction in the new elders book is very clear.
absolutely no jd if there is a suspicion of suicidal thoughts.. this is obviously due to the high number of suicidal attempts after the announcement that someone is no longer a jw and the shunning that accompanied it.. so what will happen now going forward if situations arise where there would formerly have been a jd and they say there is suicidal thoughts?.
i can’t see it working, but elders stick rigidly to what it says in the book.

The strange thing is that he displays a message with "target: 500 minimum" even though he also shows a message with a current total of 597. Shouldn't he simply put a counter that reads "subscriber goal: 597/620"? That is what many streamers do. It avoids confusion and makes clear what he wants. I wonder if any potential subscribers feel comfortable not paying because he already surpassed his target by almost 100.
You can't help but get the impression that he's been carried along by others for all of his life. Left to his own devices, he struggles with the most basic things.

It looks like they will use it for circuit assemblies. There are a lot of JWs in the NYC/Tri-State area and any place that can be reached via mass transit can make things a bit easier for the WTS. If they plan to sell part of it, it will be interesting to see who they sell it to.

I guess we know the difference between an activist and a professional activist now: the former cares about the cause. The latter sees it as a way to make money, and nothing else.
To his patrons: it's not as if he's hiding who/what he really is. Keep that in mind when you send him money.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events
Perhaps not surprisingly, most end-times predictions are expected to happen within the lifetime of the person who was doing the math. JWs are familiar with this, as the end-times predictions made by the society were often expected to happen shortly. Ironically, Russell might be the most notable exception, as he was pegging the 1914 date at least 20 years prior, and barely lived to see it fail.
