All Seeing Eye on WBTS Video!
by Alan Forbes ini was on the jw.org website today and decided to watch a video entitled 'respect jehovah's authority'.
to my surprise approximately 3mins 25secs into the video, as the opening title began to fade, a symbol of the all seeing eye (eye of horus) appeared on the screen.
the scene was not set in egypt, but in a hebrew tent in the wilderness where praise was being sung to jehovah!!

Far more frightening than the very remote possibility that the artist slipped a subliminal into the matter is Uncle Stephan's Money Plea on the tv.jw network . -

WBTS / JW views never quoted as good source of information
by menrov innot sure if my title is correct.
what i noticed is that in say secular bible research documentation, books, lectures etc, one never (or at least i have never read it) reads a quote from one of the former or current wbts leaders nor do i ever see a reference to one of their publication (unless it is article about the jw/wbts itself).. for example, if you read a book on a bible theme or topic written by a scholar or other bible teachers/professors from prof xyz, you will find often in these books a reference to publications / statements / quotes from other scholars or professors.
but never have i seen a reference to say a wt publication or quote / statement from one the leaders of the organisation.. so, despite the million page printed or conferences organised by the wbts, the material apparently is never considered of value to others or to use as reference material.. in my view, that says a lot..... or am i wrong?

You're quite right Menrov -

But hell do 7 million faithful know how to quote the Slaaaaavvvvvvvve...{All Hail }

Judging by the expressions on the faces around her, she is bloody awful !
I mean the lady behind her is in tears ..of pain and the granny next to her is thinking..."lawdy I feel like poking her in the eye ..!"

The GB teaches witnesses to be disobediant and dishonest
by stuckinarut2 ini was just thinking that it seems like the gb teaches witnesses to be dishonest and disobediant...and encourages a kind of "secret agent" mystique about such conduct.
a boldness to act this way.. they use "theocratic warfare" tactics by saying we can be dishonest with authorities if we are acting by "gods standards..".. they teach parents to do the same with their kids...teach them to outrightly disobey laws "if they contravene the gb standards" (eg flag salute, voting in politics etc...).
it is ok to lie about "future fairy tale paradise".

Not obeying the AUTHORITIES in everything does have merit in the human scheme of things - eg Thanks to the Protestant break-aways who stood firm on principles when being persecuted in Europe. [Louis XIV et al]
I went to military prison for refusing to join the army back in 1974 and that decision was a good one - South Africa was fighting a "bullshit" war in Angola which was just an excuse to get fingers on Angola's oil - that decision spared me possible injury or loss of life.
So disobeying civil authority under certain circumstances has its place in my reckoning. Its about Principles
I still will not Salute Flags sing anthems and the like because essentially governmental systems don't merit this - so standing firm on Principles has its place in our lives.
By the same token I will not give allegiance to any grouping of men in the religious context either.
