i never start topics like this normally but this has really wound me up.
romulus is getting great reviews and i just don't understand it.
it was predictable, formulaic fanfiction.. it brought nothing new, quite the opposite in fact.
It's so 'meta' if you think about it. Big corporation tries to extract the essence of Alien, ends up in disaster.
Imaginary pitch meeting for Alien Romulus:
Exec: I got a great idea! Let's do Rogue One, but with Alien!
Studio head: Sounds good! Just don't do that Peter Cushing thing again, OK?
Exec: Oh but it'll be cool! Please??

fan bulletin 997: new video: vyvyan howard's toronto presentation.
so, the organization says the “disgusting thing that causes desolation” in daniel 11:31 is the united nations being set up in 1945, but in daniel 12:11 when they interpret the 1,290 days they say it’s the league of nations in 1919. please could someone play devils advocate and tell why this could be anything but inconsistent?
.
Not to state the obvious, but the League of Nations was the precursor of the United Nations. So 'naturally' they amount to the same thing in Bible prophecy.
Interesting to imagine a resurrected Daniel in the new system looking at this stuff in amazement.

I wonder if this rhyme has ever been translated into Kurdish.
i was asking why jws won't sing any church hymns even if they were doctrinally correct.
jws asked me in response if i would sing any of their songs.. dan watkins wrote .
its a hilarious misunderstanding, if it does not come from the watchtower bible and tract society, then it is effectively considered as coming from satan.

I think the answer to that would be,
"No, look what happened when Aled Jones sang 'Listen, Obey and be Blessed' "

Man in story: 'Is that The Man from JW Broadcasting?'
Stephen Lett: 'Am I a joke to you?'
Mark Sanderson generously thought up this whole scenario so that his captive audience realises just how modest, unassuming and humble he really is. 'The Man' indeed!
i have heard or read, many times by many exjw's, that the org does not remove the blood transfusion ban because it would be crippled by the resulting lawsuits the minute that "new light" was made official.i am not a lawyer, but i would like to know what legal opinion lawyers have on that.on what legal basis would there be a lawsuit?
"i am suing the watchtower because my relative died because of a rule they had but no longer have"?am i missing something?.
If the blood doctrine was removed, that'd be one less thing for JWs to feel smug and superior about.

hey, look!
The rise and rise of Paul Gillies? (jehovahs-witness.com)
An older thread for information.
What a star of the closing moments of IICSA he was!
now that the long-expected kingdom had become an established reality in heaven, surely its growing interests in the earth after 1919 would not be left in the hands of a novice organization of spiritual babes.
and that proved to be true.
it was the 1900-year-old “faithful and discreet slave,” the old christian congregation, that was entrusted with this precious kingdom service.

The above proves something very true and inarguably about Jehovah's Witnesses: they are an ad-hoc religion.
They say and make up things as they go.
You really articulated something important there! This would be why nobody can be reasoned into becoming a JW, and why so many are reasoning themselves out of it.
