I think you make a good point - Certainly the FEAR Factor is upped to Red Status at the latest RC's - "lets have a blow-out" .....keep the #2 Cat. shjitting themselves and allowing for natural attrition of the Critical 'Independent' Thinkers #3.......- hold onto the remaining flock and bleed them to death !

Hardline or more mainstream.... I think we now have the answer!
by Tornintwo inthis latest convention with the shunning and bunker videos shows the organisation getting more and more extreme and more cultish.. i think for the last few years they have wavered between the softer more mainstream, loving version of christianity (last year's jesus convention for example) and a harder line, there were even posters on here optimistically suggesting they might relax the shunning rules.
whoever it is on the gb who has the harder stance has clearly won out (my guesses lett and morris!).
i am sure i am not the only one breathing a sigh of relief, "phew, we got out in time".

Any banning of peoples rights and freedoms is deplorable !

Video about boy to not play violin?
by Crazyguy init looks to me as though they are saying don't play at a higher level because your then in competition?
so if i'm correct what if any bible scriptures can be used to back up this anti competitive idea and are there other scriptures showing the opposite?.

So here in my part of the world we have an elder and his entire musician family who runs the local Eisteddfod - That is for the entire City - I have taken part in my younger years [on the Violin]- Now if that is not competitive then what is ? And besides, performing in such events is very good for your overall competence as a musician. Also ALL the sods who are recruited to play in JW Orchestra for their broadcasts etc would have gone through a similar training phase in their own careers. Which in most case involved attendance at an Institution of Higher Learning - ie University ! Then too if you were to try to make it into an Orchestra you would have to "compete" in auditions to get in so that you can earn a buck or two /

Convention Videos: Someone messed up royally
by ILoveTTATT2 in.
when i first saw the video, i was like, "wait... is that her... panties showing through the dress"?and it seems like it is so.turns out that if you look at the middle right of the video, there are some letters.
it reads, "footage provided by pond5".if someone wants to purchase that video to confirm, you can purchase it here:http://depositphotos.com/63621499/stock-video-violinist-girl-walking-through-a.htmli think that this was a royal mess up because i doubt they would put footage of a sister in a skimpy, revealing dress.doesn't the gb approve this?this will probably go down as another of the "subliminal images"...if there are thongs in paradise... might not be so bad after all!.
