  Are any "apostates" planning to protest at the upcoming special international conventions? There should be. We heard the WTS is going to pull out the surprises.

  For those who may not know.... the JWs make a big deal out of these special international conventions, often referring to them as 'historical milestone' in JW history.

  Manys JWs, more than the norm, including those without any seniority (unusual), have been hand-picked from many thousands of JW applicants worldwide, to travel to the exciting foreign locations around the world (and 1 or 2 U.S. locations) for the upcoming international conventions. Sounds grand, but, they are required to cover most of the costs out of pocket. Most will be required to come up with $2,000 - $4,000 to go. Except for the traveling guest speakers, their wives and the guest missionaries, who enjoy all expenses paid of course.

  The WTS is going to try to make history again at the upcoming international conventions.

  Are any "apostates" planning to make the trip to REMIND all the happy, excited JWs about their sex abuse problems

  Can't pass up that opportunity!

  often referring to them as 'historical milestone' in JW history.

  In my experience whenever they said there was going to be something significant, it turned out to be very boring. Usually orders to spend more time irritating your neighbors.

  protest?

  Im organizing a Blimp and 1200 kilos of plastique full of ball bearings so I can do a Bruce Dern in "Black Sunday" just as the WT corporate goof holds up the new standardized dub practise book to thunderous applause.

  refiners fire,

  That is actually a great idea. Or even better...... a blimp in the shape of a giant lamb for all the silentlambs victims of sex abuse within the JWs.

  Talk to Bill Bowen about that one.

  Although, I am sure their exists the danger of WT thugs firing off a few rounds at such a blimp in an effort to cover-up the problem even more....

  Yeah!!! And then it unloads a HUGE PILE of Stuffed Lambs right on top of the JW's!

  Think of the field day that the Media would have with that!

  Hmmm....standardized doctrine book?

  I doubt it.

  The only surprises you can get at Conventions are bad ones. The Generation doctrine change would be a good example.

  Syn.

  You mean some old croaker gets wheeled on stage and creaks around ,verbally dancing, like a mummified Fred Astaire before, an hour later, lowering the BOOM on the 1975 "Expectation"? That kind of UNPLEASANT SURPRISE?
