You must be drawing your understanding from those lying about it.
I watched the video. I drew my own conclusions about it. My post could have been phrased better but, to be honest, I'm not going to change my writing style to avoid offending the JW's. If you don't like my conclusions or if you think I'm wrong.....I'm not a bit surprised. If you're not a JW... you should be. You do an excellent job of defending them every chance you get.

That's a distinct possibility. It's probably in my DNA. As my grandfather, a believer who loved nature and who would have felt at home in Trout's front yard, once proclaimed, "There is more of God in a rock than any church."

Yep. I'd definitely choose communing with a rock over talking with people who promote beliefs, whatever they may be, that I think are a lot of hooey.

Well if that rock ever talks to you and says exactly what the Bible says about sex what then?

A rock that recites Bible verses? I'd call CNN and say, "I found something that will get Trump out of the headlines."

I reckon Dew knows herself well enough that should that extremely unlikely possibility occur, she'd check herself in to her favourite Doc for a consult.

However...should the rock speak to her of endurance and stability and always experiencing the now, she would listen and learn much.

Actually.... that may have happened a time or two. Or ten. I've learned much about life and God from rocks in deserts and on mountains and waves crashing onto empty beaches and moss that grows on trees in places far, far away from a church.

It is only offered. They can listen or toss it. It's everyone's right to do so.

People that keep coming back and posting their same views over and over...we get it you don't like the video. Stop watching it and don't show it to anyone. It's their choice and we are fine with that. Yet they hate it so much that they share it?! They are in fact doing what JWs are not. Showing it more than JWs do. I find that interesting. I keep saying if it wasn't JWs it would be someone else. That someone else is themselves distributing Bible truth with no assistance for JWs at at. Praise Jah and thank you to all posting the video on all the message boards with no JW assistance at all. Keep up the good work.
Actually from the various forums I am on and reading the sites where the video is mentioned, I see a LOT of people going to JW.org and watching it. the majority of comments, except on obvious pro LGBT sites, are very supportive of the video and no complaints about its contents.

The LGBT community is helping JW's spread the word about their web site.

Lets see if they do the same for the Awake #4 on the web site and its article on the subject.

This is what I'm seeing as well.

Jehovah turning curses in to blessings. Far more coverage in a faster amount of time then you or I could ever accomplish.

You call it spreading the word.

I think it's more like warning the rest of the populace of the evil spread by Satan's own JW.org.
