Cuckoo, what was the movie Fire fly about? I loved the movie "Serenity" and the TV series "Fire fly" about a space cowboy who carries the girl with special powers in the cargo ship. Is there another movie? If not, it's the first time I seen another person who loved two great shows I love too. The GB love's to control the minds of their galaxy of JWs by telling them not to change the world while telling them to "You change the world and your the salt that changes the life of others who notice you pimping out Watchtowers and tracts, good deeds don't work like helping other worldy people as other missionaries do." As I look back on my fifty plus years of life, I can say the good deeds, clean speech and love I showed to all my non-JW coworkers is what caught the notice of other workers and people.
I worked at one company were people could get sick and nobody would check up on them, the teachings I learned from my Mother and Dad along with the Organization pushed for me to call and check up on the sick Worldy people. People up on the corp ladder, they got all the attention but I focused my love on everyone and was guilty of not helping the top brass because they had the whole company calling them. Not infrequently, people who were suffering from depression or long bouts of sick and illness would return to work and hug or kiss me and say "I really like you, nobody called from work except to ask when I was going to return! You on the other hand, you brought me a baby gift and flowers for my wife who almost died and labor while you kept bringing me cooked meals while sick. I may not agree with your doctrine yet there is not way I can say you are not Christian". The deeds performed to the wordly members and loving concern with their well-being is what changed their world view of me and my religion, not calling them and preaching the Watchtower's sickening message like we did for funeral talks.
JWs are monotheistic non-Trinity sect, my view is changing on the word cult seems too radical in our modern day times because I no longer look at Mormons as a Cult. In actuality, most JWs would leave the Organization if the leaders asked them to worship the Governing Body or if the GB said they were Jesus (which they have in so many words by saying the "Other Sheep" do not have a Mediator!
