video is entitled "beware of deceit" he uses the letter of jude to show that current day apostates are deceitful and that they use "trickery" to and "twist facts" to try to "grab our mind".
warning: your head might explode.
especially past the 5:30 mark.

hi simon,.
i've just created a topic re a cart witnessing experience.
i wrote the original text in another bit of software (evernote) and cut and paste it in when creating the topic.. it did not leave any line space between paragraphs (just <br> tags it would appear) but when i added in some paragraph breaks it all looks ok when the edit is saved but then on refresh text is being completely lost.. i don't have this problem other times so am wondering if it's something to do with the c'n'p into the rich text editor and then subsequent edits.. any ideas?.
Have to see the markup that's created from Evernote but I would suggest before post you click the last button in the tool bar and check the code that is being generated. My guess is that it doesn't like perhaps a broken tag or unauthorized tag in the content and then on post it can't be encoded safely so it bombs the entire content. That's typically what causes the scenario you're describing.
i see the jw rumour mill is going into mad overdrive about prince.
the stories seem to be more and more unlikely.
so i thought as a bit of fun how about us here try to make up our own rumours?
zalkin proposing huge sanctions if jw leadership fails to produce documents.
unredacted this time!
feds need to get involved with this.
Sadly unless they are threatened with imprisonment I don't see how anything changes here other than they pay fines and lose a judgment.
Even then I would imagine those that would be imprisoned would NOT be the governing body members but those who are officers of the corporations.
interesting article i found about prince and the jw religion.
i guess they are trying to get their 15 minutes of fame.
i find it disturbing that the elder stated if prince had an addiction to prescription drugs, that is a personal matter but the hundreds of intrusive jw rules like going to college (not scriptural) and growing a beard (also not scriptural) are not also considered a personal choice.
i was talking with a friend of mine who knows a few people in the home department at bethel.
apparently, prince was, as i noted in the title, on the board of directors.
he apparently was sort of a silent partner or advisor in the whole thing.
i think he is, but i"m not too sure.
just wondering because looking at that purple pimp outfit with hat that he wore to prince's memorial, i wonder if he ever gave a talk wearing the same outfit, when i've read here that some brothers were talked to for wearing a pastel colored shirt while giving a talk..
i think he is, but i"m not too sure.

It sounds, bad, but it's true. Black brothers in black communities get an incredible amount of leeway in what they can wear.
Oh man not from what I've seen. My body has gotten on guys before, for flash suits etc. Sure it differs from area to area but, I've not seen this sort of leeway.

of course this thread is inspired by princes sad death , yet i wonder how the average j.w.
nowadays.. from what i have gleaned from the many threads about his death their seems to be a reverence about him even on pro-j.w.
sites.. i have been out for about 25 years , yet in my time in the "truth" anything that put you on a pedestal was a no , no.. competition in any form was discouraged , sports especially.
Back in the day we had congregations playing other congregations in football. it got pretty serious. Was like the dang super bowl. It was awesome but of course it got squashed.
Total tangent here just made me think of it.
Interestingly image and positioning of such has become of importance whereas this would have been a no no in years past. Such a different organization now.
