To encourage unflinching faith when facing persecution from secular authorities just like Daniel. Just look at the expression the elder makes as he faithfully stands in front of his service group when the police come through the door.

At a regional convention today....
by Nobodyspecial init really stands out to me just how phoney the bonds of forced brotherhood are.
the smiles are paper thin when they see each other in hotels.
the laughs forced.

Observing the behavior of the brothers when the doors are opened in the morning during the RCs and the thin veil of brotherhood are quickly shattered.

JWs destroy archaelogical artifacts
by John Doe inthousands of years old.
this makes my blood boil.. http://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/jehovahs-witnesses-destroy-ancient-indigenous-temple-in-mexico-20160628-0009.html.

Who ever committed this crime (JW or not) will be in serious doodoo if caught by the authorities. Damaging or defacing artifacts deemed by the Mexican government to be part of the "Patrimonio Nacional" (National Heritage) is more severely punished than crimes committed against an individual if I am not mistaken.

"Hope for what we do not see" - Review
by problemaddict 2 ini 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.

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".

So can you pray for others that are not JW's ? Or only JW's
by tor1500 ini'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".

Watchtower Lawyer speaking in US Congres commission - picture
by Gorbatchov inmaybe 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 .

Brother Brumley appearing before a US Congress Commission is similar to the Apostle Paul appealing to have his case heard before Ceasar, so it's all cool. -

Question About the New Headquarters at Warwick
by Wild_Thing inthe 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*?.

Wild_Thing, according to one of the monthly broadcasts WT has indeed farmed out the crane and iron work to an outside contractor. That is not to say that all-stars from the local building committees have not been leaned on (encouraged) to sacrifice vacation time for the project. I know of brother an elder who owns a construction company (much like in the prodigal son video) who recently returned home after several years at the site for reasons unknown. I heard second-hand that the reason for his return was not encouraging to put it mildly. -

death at the 'memorial'
by eyeuse2badub ini 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.

My apologies for the tasteless joke. My intent was to highlight the lack of empathy and concern for the welfare of the flock shown by the Org.
