    Easy... Skip it!

    But already I had people calling me asking where I was yesterday!!!! The system the JW's have in place can be compared to a communist regime , where everyone keeps a check on each other. If you are discovered to be out of line from the leader's ideals and agenda, you get a visit from officials with the power to make you disappear.

    Anyway, this is my first convention that I am fully awake to the deceptions of the WT.

    I skipped Fridays boring spiritual fest and today I arrived during lunch time. I came with no suit, just with slacks. shirt and tie. I decided to keep a low profile and sat all the way in the back. WoW! This is the first time I have noticed so many people that just come to either appease his/her conscience, to make family happy, or just to socialize. I also noticed the forgotten ones, the ones that do not attend for prominence nor praise from other men. The ones who are humble people, who think they are doing what God wants.

    They promised a historic convention but it is just the same unhealthy food being served.

    Here is just one example of what the Watchtower put in their foods.

    The unhealthful ingredients in WT's food (straight from the JW website)

    bleached history (truth removed)

    food starch-modified (likely genetically-modified) this helps with the stability of the org against excessive heat from dissenters.

    dextrose (sugar) gives JW's energy to keep going.

    partially hydrogenated literature with cottonseed oil with mono-and diglycerides, (trans fats) helps with the taste.

    TBHQ, tertiary butylhydroquinone, a petroleium dervived product, this helps with the shelf life of "new light"

    Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent (a form of silicone used in cosmetics, and Silly Putty). This helps with doubts and repels apostate thinking.

    In conclusion, when you go to the Regional Convention of the Jehovah's Witnesses, you are:

    Attending to harm your own health;
    your children's health;
    reducing your quality of life because the toxicity of eating synthetic spiritual chemicals will trigger illness;
    put more money into the hands of the GB supporting their comfortable lifestyle.

    It's enough to give you explosive diarrhea. I recommend that you stay home and look after that.

    Billy, I am going insane inside this place. I can't wait until I am able to leave all of this behind

    What always struck me were the young people promenading on breaks, coupling off.

    Binoculars are entertaining.

    I would have said to the headline, clean the house from top to bottom and find the Cole's Notes on the internet.

    I have always said pre-digested, like pablum. In my church we were expected to do serious bible studies - concordance only - on our own. The so-called studies have had all the hard thinking removed! How would you rather have your steak - on the bone or from a baby food jar? (I might be projecting a little here. I am literally eating puréed steak after surgery. At least I am pushing the blender button myself).

    It is really hard to be at the convention knowing what crap it all is...

    Wow suavojr!

    Your wife is away during the convention weekend? that seems odd...

    Why do you even have to go then? Is it to keep her happy?

    Don't go tomorrow. Should anyone inquire as to your absence, tell them: 'I'm afraid I was projectile-vomiting last night and just felt worn- out today'. That ought to shut them up.
