REQUEST: Video Links for this year's RC Dramas

by Oubliette in

does anyone have the links for this year's rc videos?

i'm especially interested in the video drama about the jw woman that married an upbaptized man.

i have a couple of friends in similar situations--wife in, they're not--and the wives still attend.

OEJ, you have to lie and say, "Yes."

Jehovah will have to kill you for it, but at least you'll see their latest propaganda piece before you die. You better watch it quickly because, as you know, Armageddon's coming soon!

Hi all,

Does anyone have the links for this year's RC Videos? I'm especially interested in the video drama about the JW woman that married an upbaptized man.

I have a couple of friends in similar situations--wife in, they're not--and the wives still attend. They want to know what their wives will be getting indoctrinated with at the RC. Think of it as "Theocratic Warfare" in reverse.

I know someone posted these from a recent RC in New York, but I can't seem to find them using the SEARCH tools on this forum.

Thanks in advance,

Caleb's Logic - Do the math

by Esse quam videri in

the scene is the kitchen table where we find calebs dad and mom in conversation.

dad - a letter?

mom so we are going to write a letter to everyone we know and ask them to give us some of their money, so that we have as much money coming in as is going out.

Luke 14:28 baby: For example, who of you wanting to build a tower does not first sit down and calculate the expense to see if he has enough to complete it?

The GB apparently, that's who!

Disfellowshipped at 18

by asensier in

you can probably guess how this story goes.. i began dating a non-witness boy.

he knew i was a baptised witness and understood the consequences i faced for dating him.

we agreed to keep our relationship secret, which was easy considering our 200 mile distance.

Oubliette

asensier: I later wrote a letter to them explaining that the only ones causing hurt were them as I'm here ready for communication. It was painful to write but I felt I had to make them try to understand that they are choosing the religion over the love for their child.

Good for you. That was an important step in redefining your relationship with yourself and your parents.

Don't be surprised if it has little discernible affect right away. But communicating that message is the only way you can both be yourself and have any hope of a mature, real relationship with your parents.

Now it's up to them.

Replicating the Kadesh incident in the 21st century.

by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

watchtower study magazine of march 15th 2015study title: "loyally supporting christs brothers"paragraph 17. .

"the growing number of prospective sheep count it a privilege to support christs brothers not only in the preaching work but also in other practical ways.

for example, they give financial contributions and help to build kingdom halls, assembly halls, and branch facilities, and they loyally obey those appointed by the faithful and discreet slave to take the lead.matt.

Their lapse is enduring rather than momentary and which lapse they do not acknowledge nor seek to correct in any way.

Yep, It's a cult!

BerryGerry, the sentiment on that embroidery is right on!

The sad thing is a lot of JWs would see it as a compliment not a condemnation.

Let's review: It's a cult!

Faith v Fact - New Book by Jerry Coyne

by cofty in

jerry coyne has been in the news with the release of a new book "faith v fact".. you can read a review from the independent here.... "he argues that there is a direct and unavoidable conflict between faith and science.

both make truth claims about the universe.

but only science has the means to test, refute or refine its claims.

Oubliette

Cofty, thanks for sharing.

Some other important distinctions between science and religion (aka "faith") is that scientific knowledge is discovered and subject to peer review whereas religious beliefs are "revealed," usually only to a select individual or group and is most definitely NOT open for discussion or debate.
