i give it 3 thumbs down.. the video starts with an ambulance in peru.
the ambulance people look at an id and a no blood card in spanish.. quick flash away to now and a happy family of a couple with 2 young boys.
all good kids it collages their everyday life, all centered around theocratic activities.
Ethan: "It just got to be too much..couldn't handle it." (Elder privilege). "There's more to it than that (lightening the load). There's more to it than that, it's complicated. This is something you really wouldn't understand."
Cut to medicine cabinet scene with Ethan hooked on painkillers.
That about sums up Witness life.
the full program has been leaked in spanish.. http://www.extj.com/showthread.php?27685-juego-de-bosquejos-de-discursos-de-la-asamblea-regional-2016.
here is my back up, including the files already extracted: link.
i have yet to read it.
Could not download the files but Inactivo says that WT is rumored to have the Spanish versions of the "Silver Sword", "Teach" book and Songbook. It appears that the GT video is premiering Saturday morning.
Thanks to Inactivo who leaked these files to "all the Spanish-speaking Apostate Brotherhood".
i'm a witness, so i need to know...can we pray for someone that isn't a jw.
reason i ask, once a friend of mine was going for an operation.
i asked an elder could he pray with her before she goes into the hospital.
@Sir82 is correct in stating the position WT takes on praying FOR others, as elders will refer to talking points from the"Reasoning" book and apply words from John 17 where Christ prays for his disciples and not "concerning the World".
maybe not relevant today, just sharing one of my archive storage, this picture of jw.org lawyer philip brumley, in a joint project with scientology and other religions in 2006.. the picture was published on a scientology website, mentioning the joint project with jw.org .

disgusting!.
the jws are known for building kingdom halls and assembly halls with slave ...er i mean ... volunteer labor, but this new self sufficient headquarters seems a bit more complex.. so who's building it?
did they hire a firm with educated engineers and architects who know what they are doing?
or are they still using billy*, who learned how to lay tile from his uncle bob*?.
i just got the news from our former congregation in hollister, ca regarding a tragic event following the 'memorial' wednesday night.
we shared the kh with 2 spanish congos.. a couple from the spanish congregation were leaving the kh so that the next spanish congo could have their 'memorial'.
they exited the parking lot in their car when hit by an oncoming car right in front of the kh.

has any body else heard this that they are asking members of different congs in new york to go and clean at bethel for free,if this is true then it really shows that the borg is short of money and might even be crumbling before our eyes
in our congregation there are now more ex-elders than current ones.
(probably very common).
what i notice most of all, is that the ones who were the best speakers (we actually had some good ones) are the ones who have all stepped down.. i'm of the opinion the better teachers recognize its all a joke, and can't be bothered to reach out again.. so the ones left who are taking the lead are the most boring ones available.
