    JUST IN ... FROM THE TELEPATHIC NEWS NETWORK:
    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS | Why Don’t Jehovah’s Witnesses Celebrate Certain Holidays?
    Reasons vary by individual person, WTB&TS policy, and what particular holiday you are asking about
    A survey of approximately 6 million Jehovah's Witnesses said 58% do not celebrate  Halloween because they find it very, very irritating to have uninvited people knocking on their doors when they are trying to take a nap.

    SOMEBODY is financing this effort to the tune of several millions of dollars ... it is NOT a "grassroots" movement.
    I also understand that further Caravans are being organized with a planned 5 MILLION people.
    I know the answers ... but I leave it to YOU to figure out what is going on ..... it's inspirational when that light bulb clicks on in your head, and you instantly become MUCH smarter.

    Sometimes ... it helps to be too big to get on any truck to take to the slaughter house.
    That is my profound thought for today ..... the rest of my posts today I will be transmitting telepathically.
    If you think of something profound, and funny .... that would be me!

    No one is forcing anyone to stay in the religion, just like no one is forcing anyone to pay ransom in a kidnapping situation.

    I actually paid money to deliberately have five members of my family micro-chipped ..... an injection at their shoulder blades, and registered their RFID chip numbers with a National Organization.
    It was not necessary for my wife and I, because WE ALREADY HAVE biological identifiers in our bodies as also do YOU ...called FINGERPRINTS ... that can identify us even if we have no I.D., and are DEAD.
    The rest of our family do not have fingerprints ...... only paws.

    James Thomas Rook Jr. got a reaction from Jack Ryan in DID ANYONE SEE THE A&E SPECIAL "AFTERMATH: JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES" ON CABLE TV ?   
    Here in the United States we have Cable TV with such things as "History Channel", "Discovery Channel", "Scifi Channel", and "A&E" the "Arts and Entertainment Channel".  Apparently around November 13 of this year they had a famous (?) TV star, Leah Remini,  who had been a Scientologist since she was eight years old turn Apostate, and she has done at least two TV seasons exposing the ills of the Church of Scientology", do an Expose' of Jehovah's Witnesses.
    I do not watch TV as a rule, and missed it, and I spent a few days looking for it and trying to download a copy.  It was not on YouTube, but I did find it under "Aftermath Jehovah's Witnesses" on the Russian equivalent of YouTube, "Rutube.ru". It would not download with my usual download software, so I had to find a free screen capture software, which took about four hours to get the settings just right, and I was able to download the two hour program from my monitor, as it was playing.
    Therefore, I watched the TV program three times, as I experimented with the settings to get a good screen copy to my hard drive..
    I could see both sides of the program viewpoints presented, and did not find us to be misrepresented in any way whatsoever ... but if there was EVER a clear example of the Law of Unintended Consequences, the horror the Governing Body has caused in disfellowshipping the way that it is currently done ... by ripping families apart, and creating  irreparable damage that can never be corrected with reinstatement, was chilling, and puts us in the same class as Scientologists ... which completely disregarding the horror and hardsip, and cruelty without any mercy whatsoever it creates locally, shames Jehovah's Name and Reputation over the whole planet.
    I don't believe there is anything a local Jehovah's Witness could do ... rob a bank ... have a harem ... have sex with horses ... etc., ad nauseum ... that would besmirch Jehovah's name and reputation globally as much as our current blatantly cruel public policies of destroying whole families for the sins of one person.
    I am very glad to have the education I have to know that the TRUTH is still the truth .... even though the 85% drivel has rotted and fermented into rotten sewage.
    Most JWs do NOT have this educational advantage ... so their lives are permanently destroyed.
    I don't expect much from people, and almost NOTHING from groups of people .... so for me, like getting one of those great salads at the Olive Garden Restaurant, and finding a big chunk of solid sewage in it ... I hold my nose, and eat around it.
    This TV Special is global news .... what could I possibly say to the average person that would clear the Name of God, that the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, NOT THE TELEVISION PROGRAM, has corrupted by its Pharisaic policies that have real world consequences?
    The exact same thing happened in ancient Israel, and a system that God blessed and supported for a thousand years and more was abandoned by God.
    The exact same thing.

    I'm not going to say who I am with right now, and he has retired .. but he used to be a mild-mannered reporter for a daily metropolitan newspaper, and sang Kingdom Songs way back when they were published in Kryptonese.

    James Thomas Rook Jr. reacted to JOHN BUTLER in Who is the best male singer of all time?   
    Best not to judge one against another.  I have no favourite singers at all, only sounds that i like. 
    I like the sounds of people's voices and/or groups/bands. But i have no interest in the person/people.
    To me it's a bit like a bus driver or shopkeeper. Musicians do a job like anyone else. If you like the sound, if it makes you dance or makes you feel happy then it's that sound, either the voice or the music, not the person... Unless you are a screaming teenager of course, but that is just some sort of crazy hero worship.

    James Thomas Rook Jr. got a reaction from JOHN BUTLER in DAVID SPLANE'S BROADCAST ON THE TEN VIRGINS   
    I was determined to carefully consider all the things posted above, but I fell asleep, and woke up with reverse keyboard imprints on my forehead, and drool on the table top, and a series of "y"s in a file, about a half million characters long... I guess.
    It all boils down to "How credible are the opinions of those who know, or PRETEND to know the answers about ANY subject."
    Fairy tales from a theologian can be almost always dismissed without even thinking ... but fairy tales from a genuine Fairy ... wings and all ... you probably want to pay more close attention.
    1.)  How many times has whatever counselor you have been RIGHT in the past?
    2.)  How many times has whatever counselor you have been WRONG in the past?
    Would you put on a parachute this person has packed ... and jump out of an airplane, after he has asked you to leave your wallet with him?
    I remember a prayer "Please God, save me from those people with the very best of intentions who try to rule my life, as right or wrong ... they intend to be rulers of my life!"
    People with the very best of intentions have ruined more lives than invading armies, as they believe they have the blessings of God, and after they totally screw up your life, still have a free and clear conscience, knowing absolutely that the fault was yours.

    My mother started studying with Jehovah's Witnesses in the late 1950's, and we used to celebrate Christmas.
    I think I was seven years old when I heard that Santa Clause had been shot down over North Korea, in late December 1952, by a Soviet pilot flying a MIG25 Fighter plane. I remember thinking about those machine gun bullets strafing the sled full of toys, and the exploding reindeer, and Santa falling over the side, spinning to Earth over ten thousand feet below, almost cut in half.
    Later, I listened to the recording of what United Nations Intelligence had recorded from the MIG pilot, in Russian, and he shredded the hopes for Christmas that year  'Eat Lead, Capitalist Toymonger!".
    As a toddler, after the end of World War II, I too had sung Christmas Caroles ...
    "Oh little town of Hiroshima, how still we see thee lie ...
    Beneath those cold and bombed out seas, the strontium clouds roll by.
    And in the twilight's gleaming, the Bombs's unearthly light ...
    The hopes and fears of all the years, were blown to hell, tonite. "
    Happy New Year Billy!!
    I still have a freezer full of those old guys from previous years passed, in the togas.

    We as Jehovah's Witnesses have the lamentable custom of having personal opinions, and teaching them as Edicts from God ... which does convince those not aware and educated about the very real difference between a deeply held personal opinion, and an Edict from God.
    There IS a difference.
    It is intellectually dishonest to have a deeply held personal conviction, and not clearly label it as exactly that, and no more.
    Emotionally, I have a deeply felt belief in the "Rainbow Bridge"
    Intellectually, I would never teach that, because it is ONLY a deeply felt complete fantasy.
    There IS a difference.
    I hope Jehovah God, and the people whose lives we ruin because of our adamant cultural fantasies, will forgive us, for screwing up their lives, and condemning them to a lifetime of isolation,  of loneliness, and of unnecessary fear and paranoia.
