    Jack Ryan reacted to James Thomas Rook Jr. in Do Demons Live in Vases, Books and other Articles?   
    I remember when this was a hot topic ..... 1966 .... I had just graduated from High School..
    I was young, and had NO life experience ... and took it all at face value, as presented.
    51 years later, and never having seen one particle of evidence of demon activity at any time
    ... anywhere ...  I am less concerned.
    I did give it some thought in one 2014 Bible Movie "Son of God",  when they cast an actor that looked exactly like Barack Obama, as Satan.

    One under Demon Attack should calmly.....investigate his house and household articles. In some few cases the house may be the cause of trouble and the best thing to do is move out.

    Jack Ryan got a reaction from James Thomas Rook Jr. in 1925 C.E.   
    (Speaking about the resurrection after 1925)
    the writer suggests the following in TWTP pg 228 on how to recruit decorators to redecorate the homes that would now be available.)

    “You will have secured the services of the best decorators you can find. Some of them used to be undertakers; but since there are no more people dying, they have to seek some new occupation. Their experience as undertakers prepared them to become decorators with very little difficulty.”

    After maintaining that there would be ‘no slip upsÂ’ about the importance of 1925 the Society backtracks telling those who were greatly disappointed that.......
    “Some anticipated that the work would end in 1925..................The difficulty was that the friends inflated their imagination beyond reason......”

    Somebody needs to show this video to Bethel's legal dept that has spent millions of hours filing notices to take down videos off of YouTu I can just see Jesus now filling out a copyright claim against somebody reposting the Sermon on the Mount.

    We used to say the same thing about Jesus being a Televangelizer...... ooops... wait.... new light.
    God has now told us it is ok to be a televangelist.
    Fast forward 5 years....
    New light.... "All JW's should actively be a soldier for Christ like Allen Smith and DEFEND the new Mother Ship Warwick!!"
    Resistance is futile!!
    @James Thomas Rook Jr. will no longer be allowed to speak in favor of JW's. Sorry. Waste of time!!!!
    Now get out there and stand next to a cart at some obscure park somewhere!!!

    A waste of time is preaching all your life that the Due time is at hand
    (Luke 21:8) . . .He said: “Look out that YOU are not misled; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The due time has approached.
    ’ Do not go after them .

    Jack Ryan got a reaction from Queen Esther in JW Women and Teaching   
    @John Houston  The first time on global JW Broadcasting as a global teacher.
    Funny how they can't do it from the platform in a hall or convention site.....but they can to a GLOBAL audience via TV Evangelism.
     
    So the scripture should now read... be silent... unless you are looking straight into the camera for TV Evangelism?
    Or maybe it should say ... just do stand up like a man during TV Evangelism? For that would be wrong.
     
    In 30 years JW Broadcasting will be using blonds in tight dresses to read a teleprompter like FOX news and say... "They aren't teaching... they are just reading".....our words.  And since they are prettier to look at than Geoffrey Jackson... it helps keep our illiterate viewership tuned in.

    Jack Ryan reacted to JW Insider in O Little Town of Bethlehem   
    Sounds more familiar to one of the Green 1950 songs, but I can't remember which one for sure. I'm hearing two of the old songs mixed together in it. The affinity is very close to the progression and cadence of the old Kingdom Song, "God's Army Is Advancing" (Now named: "God's Warriors Are Advancing" but with a different tune.) In the old song, if divided into 4 "stanzas," the music to stanzas 1, 2 and 4 are very similar. I think this song is even closer to the 1950 version of "All Hail the Lord's Anointed. (2)" which was called "Christ's Glorious Reign" in the 1948 edition.
    Several of the older Kingdom Songs (1966) use the same rise and fall, and therefore seem to end with nearly the same last 10 notes (Be Long-Suffering, Be Strong In Faith, All Hail Jehovah's Firstborn, Pouring Out the Seven Last Plagues, etc.).
