  Breaking: Walt Disney Studios buys out JWs.

  by neat blue dog in

  1. social
  2. humour

  in an all cash transaction, disney has purchased every share in the watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, inc.. their most recent in a slew of acquisitions including pixar, the muppets, marvel, lucasfilm and most recently 20th century fox, disney plans to "leverage their preexisting infrastructure and fan-base" for future content.. removing robert ciranko, who took over for don alden adams in 2014, disney is installing as president john lasseter, who already helms both disney and pixar's animation studios.

  recently disgraced and on leave for allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct, disney said he was "just perfect" for the job.. plans include making yearly theatrical films with post-credits scenes as part of a crossover shared universe with preexisting watchtower film characters like caleb and sophia, the prodigal son, the roman family and the bad worldy boy from school (with nicholas king reprising and expanding his role), as well as an educational disney jr. show, "little chuck", aimed at toddler's, hosted by a young version of ct russell sporting a pretend beard..

  i have friends who are called "worldly people" by jws.

  these people are actively involved in feeding the homeless over christmas.

  managing thrift shops so they can send financial aid overseas to poorer children.

  Jehovah`s Witnesses and the JW Religious organization are in the main parasites on society bleeding what they can out of the world and giving/contributing nothing back into it

  .And I was guilty of that as much as any other JW in my 33 years as a JW.

  They have all the excuses in the world that one can think of to not support this or that charity / humanitarian relief fund/ disaster fund or anything else that the world asks for to alleviate human suffering of one sort or another.

  What do they offer ? a scripture or two or three and then in a sense say "Go in peace" offering no practical help or assistance.

  Jrjw Welcome to this site ,many people here can give you good advice without judging you in any way ,keep asking questions here whatever they are and you wont be judged or hauled into a room for a Judicial Committee meeting as you would more likely be told to front at a Kingdom Hall.

  Take care.

  The WT/GB today change a doctrine based on scripture and call it New Light contradicting C.T.Russell`s use of "New Light"

  Thanks for posting those WT quotes bennyK

  During our chat one of the sisters pipes up and says "I can't believe we are still here. We were not meant to go to high school, get married or have children this side of Armageddon.". This sister is now a grandmother.

  I know it`s easy for me to say now,however looking back in hindsight I would like to think I would have made a comment such as

  "Well doesnt`t that tell you ,what you have been taught and believed all these years is not true, that you are being misled by your religion ? "

  I know that`s easy for me to say now however when someone knocks on your door you are usually taken way off gaurd

  What she said is so true though isn`t it something we can all relate to.

  Welcome Amypk80 ,I`m surprised no one has responded to your post yet.

  I find it hard to believe their are no cases of child sexual abuse in NZ among JW`s ever.

  This is a good place to vent and be informed without any repercussions for saying your piece

  Take care.

  we know there will be no money in paradise.

  but there will almost certainly be jobs to do.

  we will be perfect at our jobs but that doesn't mean we will be perfect at every job.

  "You will build houses and inhabit them " Isa.65:21

  Their is no way my wife would stay in a house I built and I can`t blame her ,I`m completely useless as a handy man and she knows it.and so do I.

  I don`t have a green thumb ,so I would also be useless providing food in the vegetable garden too.

  I have no patience for fishing and I just hate the thought of spending hours for an empty catch.Would fishing even be allowed in the New System ? Eating one of Jehovahs creations in the new system ?

  Apparently you wont be able to hunt animals for food in the New System either.Their is a scripture there somewhere. isn`t their ?

  Would Jehovah still require a human sacrifice as he has done these past decades condoning his chosen people JW.ORG refusing blood transfusions ? while hypocritically accepting Blood fractions donated by worldly people donating their blood to blood banks that are then processed in a laboratory into fractions ,blood that is not poured out on the ground and should not be used for any purpose according to the Bible as claimed by Jehovah`s Witnesses.
