i commented on this on another thread- but i believe this has enough importance to create a thread about this situation in and of itself.
at the current district convention as you know the wt society released a " sophie & caleb " video allegedly warning parents about the dangers of child abuse.
they don't really use the words " child abuse " in the video - but just say if " someone tries to touch you in a manner you aren't comfortable with " and portray it as a cartoon !
Flipper, use real humans as real actors portraying real situations? Are you serious? I can just see it:
Casting call- need middle aged brother who can act like a pedophile. Where would they find someone like that in all of Bethel?
I applaud the idea of the internal PSA, but question the use of a cartoon and the actual motive behind it all (WT Legal Dept.).
on jw broadcasting malenfant's latest video, "do not be misled by the wicked" states (@ 4:30) "did it (the serpent) take a bite of the forbidden fruit and because of that was she allowed to gain this ability to speak?".
where does malenfant get the idea that the serpent in the garden was female?.
interesting, because malenfant, like the governing body, adds to scripture what is not there.
warning, novel ahead:.
after a few months of lurking on this site, i've decided to take the plunge...i don't really care so much about introducing myself, but somehow there is some relief in the thought of getting my little story out there, just getting it out of my system.
i am the oldest of 5 kids.
having endured three days of dashing attempts at further indoctrination, i feel the need to write up some of the stuff i left with.
it is just good therapy.. right away the change was noticeable in the air.
the assembly hall in la feria, tx still smells like new.
StarTrekAngel,
Yes, I am from the area. Send me a private PM if you would like.

StarTrekAngel,
I am very familiar with the La Feria AH and can attest to your comments regarding the local brothers. The fact that the WT did not utilize the La Feria AH for the RCs last year is due to them scheduling bigger groups in major metro areas like Houston. It's too bad that these brothers have to travel 5 1/2 hours to attend.
got a phone call last week, but i didn't recognize the number, so i didn't answer.
no voice mail was left.
or so i thought.
if you had any doubts about the pitifully poor mental prowess of watchtower and jws in general then i'm sure this week's watchtower study (week of june 15-21, 2015) completely obliterated such doubts.
the study article (watchtower april 15, 2015, page 19: how real is your relationship with jehovah?
) was filled with blatantly fallacious reasoning that were outdone only by the more fallacious reasoning on the part of commenting jws.. the article, in paragraph 2, says this about a relationship with jehovah:.
someone sent me this from jwtalk.
a guy on there just posted this regarding changes to the way the jws volunteer at conventions in spain and the changes seem fairly major:.
we had a special meeting today called a training session for volunteers.
as per the title.
and was the one you attended at an early or late time of the evening.. any partakers?.
if you, like me, have noticed the sudden increase in hysteria in the khs right now, i put it down to that jw tv site.
its's far more extensive than i thought it was, i thought it was just 1, 1 hour program a month.
there's a s*** load of videos on that site.. and the real problem, from just watching a clip from each video, is that these guys are clearly "mentally unstable".
