  1. I've seen a few JW's who are currently in good standing with photos at rap concerts and local bars with other non-witnesses and sometimes even a few other JW's.

    I don't like confrontation nor do I have the time to track down which congregation they go to or the addresses on where to send photos.

    Is there a way we could submit photos on here so that local elder bodies could follow up and disfellowship them?

    Sort of a JW wikileaks to clean out hypocrites?

    What do you think of the idea?

  2. Given the furor that D. & D. caused, the absence of a deeper analysis of Gygax’s faith is a glaring omission. In a recent interview with Tobias Carroll, Witwer acknowledged that Gygax “was a practicing Jehovah’s Witness. He would go door-to-door and he would give out pamphlets. He was pretty outspoken about it, as a matter of fact.”

    Gygax, who died in 2008, made his way back to God at the end of his life, writing in January of that year, “All I am is another fellow human that has at last, after many wrong paths and failed attempts, found Jesus Christ.”

  3. I remember seeing a video some time back where Sam Herd says;
    “100 years of Kingdom rule and counting”

    Or something along those lines.
    They always used to distinguish between the kingdom starting in 1914 and the coming millennial kingdom starting at Armageddon, but this recent video makes it plain that the Kingdom Rule started in 1914 and will end with a paradise earth restored.
    Am I correct in understanding that they now view the millennium to have started in 1914?
    This would mean we have 898 years left of the millennium.

  4. I am up to the point where the Republican candidate surprises President Underwood with a phone call messing up the delegate count at the Democratic National convention.

    Could this be setting the stage for Claire to take the lead and get the nomination for President?

    Stay tuned.

     

    oh... btw... notice how much more gray hair Frank now has?

  5. I'm into the 5th episode of Better Call Saul on Netflix.

    I still am wondering if this is before, concurrent or after the Breaking Bad series. Anyone know?

    The parking lot attendant could have held the same job.... and I think I remember Tuco from BB. Anyone know for sure?

  6. Sri Lanka has only one convention hall which is situated at 44, Agaraduguru Mawatha,Ekala,Ja-Ela WP. This was built on some where around 1990's. Now the Sri Lanka branch committee has decided to sell the property.

    I was informed that the minimum publisher requirement to have an Assembly hall is the reason for the sale. Sri lanka has only 6,000 publishers, if Sri Lankan publishers are not enough to own a Assembly hall, then why did the governing body build it in the 1990's?

  7. UPDATE: We're good to go! Our film begins pre-production in March and goes to Camera in October!

    This is a short clip based on the concept of the upcoming film written by Patrick Chilvers in collaboration with Alex Riker, a former Jehovah's Witness.

    Blood [working title] is a feature film about a woman torn between deeply held beliefs and the risk of losing her daughter. Filled with captivating characters and set against a backdrop of the Jehovah's Witness culture, this drama poses interesting questions and looks at the place where religious ideals clash with human rights.

    For more information or to inquire about partnering with us for this project, please contact Alex at ariker4@yahoo.ca

    Producer: Alex Riker
    Writer: Patrick Chilvers
    Director: Jason Armstrong
    DoP: David Mun
