  Today's WT

  by OneFingerSalute in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so today's wt seems to put out the idea that during early christian times it was god's hand that made the romans build roads, have strong laws, etc.

  to make the preaching easier.. anyone else notice that?

  some here really banged on about how great it was that god did that, just for them.

  It seemed to totally gloss over persecution of Christians, being thrown to the lions for entertainment in the arena etc.?

  Oh my goodness - is this the video one of the elders was telling me about today?

  I think they're showing it on Thursday in the service meeting.

  I love how all the characters have long noses - very fitting.

  Protect governing body with your life

  by Zoos in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there was a quote in the literature some years back about protecting the governing body from secular authorities and insinuated that we should do whatever it took to insure their safety.. i seem to remember it was something about refusing to help the authorities locate the governing body.

  i may be off track here.

  if this is familiar to you could you please help me find the quote?.

  Band On The Run mentioned his dad used to be a bodyguard for Rutherford and Knorr.

  Incidentally, anyone know if he's okay? I notice he hasn't posted for quite a few months and he used to be quite regular?

  Of note is that Mark Sanderson is the GB member not Sam Heard.

  Oh dear I don't know whether I even care any more. At least Sam Heard attempts a few jokes even if he does drone on a bit. I've not seen much of the new kid, but he just seems like a generic corporate-type in a suit. At least there's a chance the thing might actually finish on time with him though.

  Will that work? Can't the Beeb get it taken down?

  Maybe, I dunno. I've uploaded their stuff before and it hasn't been taken down yet.

  Does anyone know what happened (if anything) to Paul Gilles? I had "heard" he had a position change, and wondered if that was true. Or is he still the voice of UK Bethel?

  He's in the start of this video from last May that's still on JW.org, so I assume he's not gone AWOL:

  A week after the private broadcast it will be available on jw tv.

  Really? That's good to know - will save me a bit of a headache - I've been figuring out all day how I was gonna secretly record it with sound and video (the sound bit is easy enough, but good video is tricky).

  If anyone hasn't seen the interface the kingdom halls login to, it's a just a streaming video through Adobe Flash, very similar to Youtube Live streams. I haven't checked the format they're using, but I suspect it's chunked file parts rather than a static URL that I can more easily rip.
