At least they TRY to appeal to the youth LOL . I can`t say the same for the JW`s
And you must admit it did have a good beat to it .
I had to laugh at the dude with the smoker
"how do we appeal more to the 'youths' ...".
"... i know - we'll do a religious rap !".
"kids love that shit ...".

for the life of me i can not come to terms with old timers in the "truth" who could swallow this interpretation of scripture about an overlapping generation .. when jesus spoke about "this generation" .
are their any real bible students among younger ones any more ?.
here are 3 bible scriptures that confirm a generation is approximately 40- 50 years long give or take a few years .. 1. matt:1 :17 abraham born 2016-18 bc jesus born 2 bc approx.

Here are 3 Bible Scriptures that confirm a generation is approximately 40- 50 years long give or take a few years .
1. Matt:1 :17 Abraham born 2016-18 BC Jesus born 2 BC Approx.
Therefore 2016 -18 years divided by 42 generations is approx. 48 years .
2.Luke 3:23 -38 ,again approximately 50 years .
3. Matt.24:34 , Jesus was about 30 years old when he made that prophecy ,his prophecy was fullfilled in AD 70 that means about 40 years .
Their is no indication or even a suggestion of any overlapping generation in any scripture in the Bible ,it is purely an invention of the WTB&TS to cover up their failed prophecy once again.
i`m sure you have all noticed the ever increasing number of newbies and lurkers who have visited this site over the past months and i am sure we could all collectively welcome them to this site and support them on learning the ttatt .
and helping them to navigate how they can look up older publications and quotes of the wtb&ts that they would rather remain hidden.. we all know jehovah`s witnesses /governing body never apologizes for mistakes they make they just don`t mention them anymore and explain it away as new light from god.. actually a big cop out.. welcome to all you who are new to this site .. every day their seems to be someone new posting which is great .. and if this is any indication of what is happening in all other ex jw sites the wtb&ts are in deep trouble .

Bump for newbies

we can't say he's getting drunk but he sure didn't consider the way others would view his actions.
Refer to corruptgirl post Analysis of Tony Morris buying 12 bottles of scotch Wasanelder Once if you haven`t already done so .
She certainly nails it on the head as to the WTS viewpoint in print.
And of course their is my experience above .
i never post on here.

Atlantis / corruptgirl,
I had second thoughts about putting those beers in as a joke because I thought I might upset corruptgirl who might have thought I didn`t take her post seriously or appreciate the evident time and effort she took in researching her post that I say again was an excellent analysis and appreciated the reason why she did post it.
And if it was at all possible I would love to have a beer or two with you Atlantis

Excellent analysis corruptgirl well done.
{ i was going to add 12 jugs of beer,but thought better of it.}
i am surprised nobody else has posted this yet.
a lot of people in aust will read this.. “incest victim turned lawyer speaks out on reporting violence and sexual abuse”.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-04-08/incest-victim-to-honours-law-graduate-shelly-triumph-over-abuse/10978530.
Its a pity Elders who give this advice "bring reproach" upon Jehovah's name.“ were not themselves identified and prosecuted as they are really harbouring criminals and perverting the cause of justice in not reporting these abuses themselves .
Take care Shelley / BCG your a survivor .

I would venture to say that there would be many people before they converted to the JW religion had a problem with alcohol and still had that problem long after they had been baptized .
I personally knew of a few in the many congregations I attended and initially had that problem myself in my early 20`s through to the my 30`s .
Thankfully now I consider myself lucky I have been one of the few who could self regulate and can drink in moderation without getting drunk or intoxicated and be a pain in the ass to anybody.
And I must admit the religion played a big part in my overcoming that problem .( credit where credit is due )
Getting back to the topic,in my early days I would have been stumbled if I saw TM or any other high ranking JW buying such large quantities of top of the shelf booze.
A similar thing I experienced with was smoking.I was a chain smoker rolling my own mostly but on going out I would smoke tailor mades and upon learning the "truth" I managed to give it up cold turkey, being told it was not acceptable by my mentor. This was in 1960.
Years later I became aware of brothers who did smoke some who were MS and their was no penalties for doing so .That threw me a curve but I had kicked the habit by then, and thought, though I had been cheated.
This was before they gave JW`s six months to kick the habit.
So yes Tony`s buying so much booze could certainly stumble vulnerable one`s ,I hope he has if that free`s them from the clutches of this religion.
