    They have no clue what “pure worship” to God is..

    • Loyalty to God also includes loyalty to his organization. w01 10/1 pp. 20-23

    · For instance, when they have been offended, some have manifested a weakness in their loyalty to Jehovah’s organization by staying away from Christian meetings. w88 3/15 pp. 15-20

    God doesn’t say anything in the scriptures about being “loyal” to an organization that is built with money, human slavery, and the delusions of men. Men’s doctrine holds more weight with JWs, than God’s word. The scriptures do say a lot about being trapped by empty philosophy and giving one’s devotion, essentially to an idol that is built with “human hands”, as if it needed everything people can come up with physically and materialistically. (Col 2:8; 1 Tim 4:1; Rom 1:25; Rev 13:10, 1-2,4; Acts 17:24-25,29)

    There is so much idolatry happening in that pit – men/false prophets are exalted, lies are exalted, a monster organization is exalted, the elder body who enforces the lies is exalted, all while corrupting the words of Christ.

    “I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.” John 5:43

    Matt 24:24-25

    “Jehovah” AND his organization” -

    Then Elijah approached all the people and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him. But if Baal, follow him.” But the people didn’t answer him a word. 1 Kings 18:21

    And that’s just what JWs do. They slip into cognitive dissonance and don’t know how to answer. They can’t disconnect God from the organization.

    “Do not make any gods to be alongside me; (“with” me, “together with” me - Strongs H854) do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold.” Exod 20:23

    “With whom will you compare me or count me equal? To whom will you liken me that we may be compared?” Isa 46:5

    The organization is said to be the “way” to salvation.

    “Jehovah” is said to be the “way” to salvation.

    Is there any difference? Not to a JW who is not allowed to disconnect one from another.

    Jesus is not accepted as the only “way, and the truth, and the life”. No one comes to the Father, except through me”. John 14:6

    No salvation can be obtained through an earthly organization. No earthly organization can lead one to God.

    "Pure worship""

    Is equivalent to & is on par with:

    Governing body praise & loyalty to them,, unquestioning obedience,,, shunning your family & your loved ones,,, handing over $$$,properties. & inheritance & dyeing from refusing life-saving blood transfusions.

    Of honorable mention;;

    giving up all your weekends & spare time ,,,forgoing higher education,,which benefits YOU not the Borg & passing up opportunities which could benefit you....not the Borg by refusing scholarships & lucrative jobs.

    Because education enhances critical thinking skills !!!

    The term " Pure Worship " just make my skin crawl. It is just hate filled dogmatic nonsense.

    Nonsense = propaganda & speculation.

    Indoctrination.

    It would be interesting to see a list going back several decades of all the themes of conventions.

    Do they rehash with slightly different words? Yes that’s exactly what they do.

    How many times have they had a be patient convention? When will they have one again?

    I wonder when the last time was a Pure worship theme? And how many things have changed in that pure worship since the last time?

    It would be interesting to see a list going back several decades of all the themes of conventions.

    See the link I posted earlier (or others available online). I've copied the full list below with the most recent updates.

    As I said earlier, they've not used the same theme as "Pure Worship" before, but there have been a couple of similar titles, in 1951 and 1990.

    It's interesting to see how they changed from rather wordy titles to mostly snappy two word ones from about the 1970s to mid-1990s, but since then they've gone back to longer ones - and since about 2006 the new GB keep sticking an exclamation mark at the end of each title, presumably in a desperate attempt to try and generate excitement for what are becoming increasingly tired 'corporate' events...

    Reading the list of convention theme's I made the conclusion that every theme is not implemented after all.

    So mission not reached, structural.

    1914 + 120 years given to Noah to building ark before flood came brings us to 2034. (I just thought this) So my husband says "No more, in thirty-four"
