Has anyone else seen this video on JW Broadcasting?

so i was checking out the website to see what the february broadcast was all about before i watched it with my jw wife.. on the front page was this video.... https://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodbible/pub-jwbai_201607_1_video.

i watched it and pretended i had never been a jw.. if you pretend you don't understand their particular language it makes for a interesting (if not vague) watch.. btw i've seen several of the actors before.

jw version of movie stars?

I don't waste my time watching JW videos. I know they are crap.

"The Santa Clarita Diet" on Netflix

by schnell in

someone recommended "the santa clarita diet" to me at work, and when i got home and watched the trailer, my wife and i both sat down and binged through the whole thing.... https://youtu.be/xjrnbogoauq.

thematically, the show is all about rebirth.

sprinkled throughout is the idea that when something changes in your life, you just have to be bold and run with it.

Like the trailer. I'll search for it and watch it. Thanks.

2017 Circuit Assembly: Lesbians at school demonstration

by darkspilver in

steve2: is there some way this can be presented so that it is crystal clear what was actually in the demonstrations and what was added?

i guess some will think it should be obvious - but this is where misunderstandings arise because we end up wrongly attributing something to jw organization that was never said.. circuit assembly theme: maintain love for jehovah!.

note to speaker: warmly encourage young ones to prove their friendship with jehovah by observing his commandments and defending his standards.

As I said before, they have no respect for heterosexuals that don't believe their crap, leave alone respecting lesbians.

BTW, when I saw the title of the post I thought it was about some film not suitable for children.

by pale.emperor in

two ironys here... first of all the title "keep in expectation as jehovahs day draws near" - (this talk is from 2006!!

) i suppose 11 years isnt near enough.

second is that geoffrey jackson, of all people, is giving a talk that goes on and on about liars and how jehovah never lies.

If you had the power ....

by Landy in

...would you choose to ban the jw religion?.

if you wouldn't ban them what, if any, changes would you force upon them?.

...would you choose to ban the JW religion?
If you wouldn't ban them what, if any, changes would you force upon them?

Donald Trump, is that you?

No, it's not ok to ban a religion, any religion. It's illegal, it's immoral, and in USA goes completely against the principles upon which the nation was formed.

I wouldn't force any changes either. Since this is a fantasy, totally unreal, not-ever-existing-and-never-will-scenario, I think that "forcing" might not be the right word to use. I have zero respect for that organization, but I do defend their right to exist as a religious organization. So in my if, fantasy, never happening scenario, the leadership of the WT will be receptive to obtain feedback from the actual needs from their own people. I'm sure that if they decide to hold a focus group, the JWs themselves could create a great transformation for the better. But again, it's an if, fantasy, never-will-happen scenario.

Sad news from the Spanish Front

by Hecce in

i think the majority of forum friends are aware of the existence of a vibrant watchtower opposition in the spanish field.

for about 13 years the extj forum was probably the main instrument for that endeavor, sadly the couple sponsoring that site decided to close it at the end of last year.

it seems like they were overwhelmed with personal obligations and responsibilities; they were covering a 100% of the expenses without any outside cooperation or publicity.. after the closing of their forum, some of the friends started new sites to keep the flow of information alive.
