If they toned it down it was only to keep themselves out of trouble. Funny, Rutherford would never have toned down his hate speech. Modern WT is pussies.

Blimey! They think we re like them! They think we WANT FOLLOWERS!
Who on earth wants followers? What are they talking about? Have they misunderstood twitter?

Was the convention in the U.S.?
If so, and they did send out new manuscripts, I wonder what goes through the speakers mind with the last minute changes.

If anyone can tell me if they "toned it down" in Ralegh this weekend that would help me out a bunch. Thanks!

I agree S&R, I don't want any followers and I don't believe there is any large crowd of ex witnesses that want them either. They made their selling pitch, hooked my family in many decades ago, time has proven that they don't have any special knowledge of the scriptures or channel of communication with God, so I'm done, the relationship is over.
They made false pretenses about themselves and their qualifications to us to get us to believe, (don't bring up how the organization is made up of imperfect people blah blah blah with some new light idea). What bothers me is that WTBTS just doesn't handle rejection very good at all, they are like the ex-girlfriend from hell. WTBTS needs to quit their trash talking, name calling, hate ridden talks and printing and just get over it, not everyone is buying their con game any longer! And if they believe that this kind of talk will draw people that have doubts to the organization they are misinformed.
Much of my family is still actively involved in the JW "way of life" as I've been told it is. On the negative side, NONE of my JW active family, absolutely 0 of them get along with anyone else in the family. There are several circuit and district heavies, and a few are in Bethel. It has for decades been the family of "hate". But this has been a positive thing for me, because, at least I know that my belief in the religion is not what has divided the family. What has divided the family is that they are immitating the hateful ways of their "mother", WTBTS. They just don't know how to behave like a loving family.

It is possible that they received a last- minute notification to make some changes, probably due to the liability issues recently raised in Denmark. At our convention, my brother said they received an urgent letter regarding the drama- they were to make sure that Job and his wife were not standing next to each other or touching because, you know, they wouldn't be married anymore in paradise. Weird....

My family decided to go to Spanish this time and I do understand and speak decent Spanish, not fluently though. Well, they did mentioned the mental illness and they re-added the no "email, texts" shunning policy. I was utterly disgusted!

They do.
And since they're authoritarian leaders, they assume everybody else does, too.
