  Or is that just too simplistic a reason.

  People seem to prefer YouTube videos over boring, old print, so here is a rather depressing summary by a U.S. geopolitical analyst:

  Kongressnachlese 2022 - TV Glotz Kongress

  also ich winke jeden tag meinem tv-gerät und wer von uns hat nicht schon vor wachtturmcomicsbildchen geweint.. wer an dämonen, vampire und wehrwölfe glaubt, der glaubt auch das sich der fernseher freut, wenn ich in seine richtung klatsche.

  wenn ich mir alleine vor dem fernseher ein kongressvideo ansehe, stecke ich mir auch mein namensschild an.. in zukunft poste ich nur noch selfies mit meinem fernsehgerät.. und wenn ich in zukunft vor dem fernsehgerät singe stehe ich selbstverständlich dabei auf – denn gott sieht alles, er hört alles und er riecht alles….

  The OP is lampooning the sentiments expressed in the attached video. (Just in case that's not clear)
  

  Clapping, wearing lapel badges, dressing formally, etc for a virtual convention is kinda culty to be honest.

  wieso werden von den zeugen jehovas auf dem diesjährigen kongress, kinder in betten gefilmt und diese filme im internet untereinander geteilt?.

  warum liefern jehovas zeugen auf dem diesjährigen kongress die vorlage das mit kindern im bett die bibel studiert werden soll?.

  warum liefern jehovas zeugen, in dem erwachet vom oktober 2007, dann eine der umfangreichsten und besten tipps im freien internet, wie man kinder erfolgreich missbraucht.. .

  Ich weiß nicht.

  Gute-Nacht-Geschichten sind in manchen Kulturen weit verbreitet.

  Vielleicht ist die Idee, diese Gute-Nacht-Geschichten durch Bibelstudium zu ersetzen

  Babylon the Great and the last Pope

  by mikeflood in

  what do you guys think of the evangelicals theory about babylon the great and the last pope...just starting this big book out of curiosity...like 500 pages...it seems there is a lot of different thinking from the borg.

  Babylon the Great was 1st century Rome. (As Jeffro said above)

  Imperial Rome was personified as the goddess Dia Roma, which the Jews absolutely despised.

  The parallels between the "seven hill upon which the woman sits" and the "many waters" she sits by are unmistakable in depictions of the goddess, such as you will find on the obverse side of Roman coins.
  

  The premise of this book is a prophecy attributed to St. Malachy, centuries after he allegedly uttered it, so it's in a whole different league compared to JW writings on Revelation.

  You might want to take a look at what other books these two wingnuts (Horn and Putnam) have written.

  I'm Not Saying Americans are Stupid

  but maybe they over-value their own abilities.

  c'mon, imagining you could fight a gorilla, lion, elephant, or bear with your bare hands?!?.

  this could be an amazing new reality tv show though ... "ok, bubba, you've just beaten a dog ... now for $16,000 do you want to fight a chimpanzee?

  Interesting

  Chimpanzee and Kangaroo might be slightly explainable via media images of juveniles. (i.e. A lot of people, apparently many of them Americans, don't understand how big and strong an adult male of either species is)

  But grizzly and lion? You would think most people understand the concept of suicide. - LOL

  Here’s just one with less than half a Google search

  I'm sorry Anony Mous. Where did it say that synthetic mRNA persists indefinitely once injected?

  (i.e. That it is not just as fragile as any other polymeric nucleotide)

  For the life of me I do not know how injecting a tiny little snippet of the viral RNA is somehow worse than injecting the entire genome.

  Honest Hearted Ones

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there are certain wt terms that sound biblical but really just puff up the pride.

  hundreds of times the wt has used the term honest-hearted in their literature.

  it sounds biblical, if for no other reason because we hear it so often in jw circles.

  The JW use of the term, "Honest hearted" is a very old technique.
  

  "So?" said the gentleman in the fine coat: "are ye of the honest party?" (meaning, Was he a Jacobite? for each side, in these sort of civil broils, takes the name of honesty for its own).

  (Robert Lewis Stevenson)
