  daniel kokotajlo's new film apostasy has it's world premiere at the toronto international film festival in september 2017. apostasy.

  family and faith come into conflict for two jehovah’s witness sisters in manchester, when one is condemned for fornication and the other pressured to shun her sibling.. this fresh, unadorned first feature from director dan kokotajlo carries an unmistakable note of authenticity from its very first scenes.

  set in a jehovah's witness community in england, the film's strength and power lies in its directness.. apostasy depicts the growing rift in a family — a mother and two daughters — who are rigorously devoted to their religion.

  (sorry, i still haven't learned how to put up a link.).

  as i read the introduction from the publisher, i remembered that very talk and how i felt when i heard it.

  10:36, "we must follow the light wherever it leads us, our love should be for the truth, and not for a particular doctrine or teaching... Well how would you summarize this talk in a few words?"

  "Well, the wrong answer is 'we don't believe in types and anti-types any more', we do! we really do!"

  "Where the scriptures identify them as such, we embrace them, but where the Bible is silent, we must be silent"

  I am getting dizzy from the circles...

  9:55 "we simply cannot go beyond what is written".... hmmm, if they are abandoning certain "types/ anti-types" that we all studied, spent so much time of our lives on....

  that means, in the past, they DID go beyond what was written!

  ( But NOW they aren't! Thank God! What a relief!)

  Sends chills up and down my spine!

  at 9:31, Splane "splains" that when the Society changed the beloved Pyramid teachings, Brother Smith accepted it, he let reason win out over emotion!"

  Try to do this without the GB's blessing, and see what happens to you!

  David Splane, speaking about the warm fuzzy memeories we all have about the book study, the hundreds of pages and hours we spent studying the mandated "types and anti-types" (from 7:08 to 7:52)

  "It is true that the study of types and anti-types could be thrilling, so here's a question for you, if the study of a certain subject makes chills run up and down your spine, could it possibly be mistaken? and the answer is "yes"!

  Does the overlapping generation send chills up and down your spine?

  JWorg & Scientology both have child sex abuse coverups within

  by mrmagic in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  just watched leah remini's season 2 episode 1 about the child sexual abuse within scientology and the coverups.

  the same cookie-cutter patterns as what we have with the jehovah's witnesses.

  they have mention australia and i'm wondering if the australian royal commission will one day investigate scientology.

  Pretty cool, mrmagic.. I also believe when JWs hear about it from another source, then come to the knowledge it is happening "within this clean borganization" it just might "click"

  I wish I had not gone to the meeting last night

  the first thing i saw when i went in was the two video screens having the watchtower singers chorus doing a number.

  the sound wasn't up enough to make out the song, but the video was grotesque.

  the singers were swaying to the music, all independent of each other, no discipline, actually sloppy-looking.

  If she thinks it is unrealistic in real life, does she think it is crazy to see those?

  How smart were the ancients?

  by Coded Logic in

  1. social
  2. current

  growing up as a jw, i always thought the ancients were scientific morons who knew next to nothing.

  ashamedly, i used to run around citing isaiah 40:22 as proof of the bible's 'divine authorship' because it talked about "the circle of the earth".

  as though this were somehow an unknowable before spaceflight.

  You know, I never thought about this fact before.... because we have computers, books, knowledge from others handed to us on a plate when we attend school....

  If we lived in the "ancient world", spent time outside at night, looked at the moon, saw it's shadows grow across it night after night, we would realize the moon was a sphere, and could easily make the connection that the earth was also.

  Right?

  Thanks Andersons for putting that wealth of historial data together. The WT always has their slant put on history, how else would we know the reality of it all without such dedicated historians?

  Thank you!
