Yes during this year's audio drama about Jesus' death it was said from the platform that the media is going to be spreading lies about Jehovah's Witnesses and that we should pay no attention to them. Did they say this at your convention location?
Also during the drama about marriage it was obvious to me that brothers are not reaching out for privileges the way they used to. One of the main characters was derided as a "spiritual loser" and another was laughed at by the audience because he held very "little privileges" in the congregation. To me such references betrayed a real lack of love on the organization's part. The whole drama was sickening and had very little to do with the Bible.
I did my part though. I donated to the contribution box- a note that said, "Watchtower sued for $28 million! Your donations are helping to protect pedophiles." I also wrote the same thing in magic marker in a bathroom stall. Whoever had to go in there because nature called or just to clean it off the wall will have trouble forgetting what was written! Meany, meany, tinkle, parsley!
