    Nothing new then? It must be so hard to stay awake but I guess that's what the organization wants. You can be more susceptible to suggestions if you're tired.

    FedupJW, I don't know how you do it and thanks for the summary.

    I feel smothered just reading your review! I feel like I was there.

    It really seems like "wash rinse repeat"....

    thanks for the post

    Theme was Don't Give Up In Fulfilling The Law of Christ.

    Jesus Christ fully supports his "father" Jehovah who was a genocidal, homicidal maniac who took delight in shedding the blood of millions of humans and animals as portrayed in his Holy Written Word the Bible .NWT. of the Hebrew Scriptures / Old Testament.

    And is Jesus Christ really any different ? despite what many claim ?

    Jesus came not to bring peace but to bring a sword to many. ( paraphrased }

    Jesus would pit father against mother child against parents etc.etc.( paraphrased )

    Jesus as the newly enthroned King in the Heavens is going to destroy Billions at Armageddon.

    And when the thousand years are ended Jehovah with the approval of Jesus Christ are going to slaughter millions more according to the book of Revelation.Rev.20 .7-9 .

    they both seem to have a lust for blood

    Thanks for sharing. I hope you can take some sort of comfort in the fact that your day wasn't entirely wasted, in that all of us on here get to read and enjoy your post.

    Here's my thoughts:

    2) How can we fulfill the law of Christ when unseen by humans? Don't look at porn. Watching porn starts by viewing swimwear ads. Those ads pop up when a person surfs the channels on their TV or the internet. So don't surf channels or the net as that is the first step.

    Wow, straight to the porn. No mention of smoking, drugs or alcohol? I guess porn is still a persistent problem in the religion. Not surprising seeing as they've banned even masturbation.

    Song and Announcement(s) Just one announcement. Jehovah loves a cheerful giver. There are boxes for you to put your contribution in. Make checks out to Jehovah's Witnesses and if you don't want to write a check there are two convenient ATM/Credit card machines you can use.

    My grandfather would be turning in his grave. Credit card machines in "Gods house"? It's become a televangelist drive like Peter Popoff or Benny Hinn.

    4) What makes the law of Christ superior to the Mosaic law? There were over 600 law in the law of Moses. Christ law is better because it is much more comprehensive, covering EVERY aspect of our lives. Christ's law is all principles. Remember like a traffic light, laws are red and that means STOP! Principles are yellow, that mean you have to think. (Then stop. I guess they never heard of a GREEN light! I'd hate to be behind these nitwits if they were driving)

    And yet the Watchtower society have added even more laws upon those laws - exactly what the Pharisee's were condemned for by Jesus.

    Only 2 baptized. Attendance was 720.

    Ha!

    Experiences: Some young female bragged about pioneering right out of high school because she had the "perfect" circumstances. She only worked part time one day a week, and lived at home with her parents. She had a hard struggle to keep pioneering as the years went by, but by only working that one day a week, still living at home, and now DEPENDING ON HER HUSBAND and praying she was able to keep pioneering. (What a leech!)

    What a leech indeed. Working one day a week? If she lived in any other country she'd have starved to death long ago.

    And the "conductor" spouting off how witnesses have happy lives, happy marriages, happy...happy...happy.

    The bottles of Valium in my mothers medical cabinet suggest otherwise. As do the cabinets of many, many JWs who've been in for a long period of time.

    6) How can you fulfill the law of Christ at school? School is full of pressure from wicked people. They will pressure you to follow Satan by dating, playing school sports, or by experimenting with homosexual sex. Don't text pictures of yourself in a swimming suit to a boy who sent you a selfie taken at a gym.

    Wow, I wish i went to that school!

    Song and announcement(s): Read the accounts report. Announced the mandatory deficit and reminded everyone that Jehovah loves a cheerful giver. Boxes are there to put your contribution in , and we have two machines for those of you who would rather use your ATM/credit cards.

    They asked twice?!! C.T. Russell must be rotating permanently in his grave by now.

    “‘Zion’s Watch Tower’ has, we believe, JEHOVAH for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg nor petition men for support. When He who says: ‘All the gold and silver of the mountains are mine,’ fails to provide necessary funds, we will understand it to be time to suspend the publication.” - Charles Taze Russell

    The "branch" big-wig gave an experience about a flood in Texas (USA) where an entire street of homes were totally demolished. One elderly JDub widow had her home completely gutted and restored even better than new. They even added an extra room.

    In case anyone wasn't aware, JW's DO help in cases of natural disasters... they just dont help non JWs. And even if they do it's not materially, just spiritually. Even the dog got a roof over it's head. They obviously have never read Jesus parable of the Good Samaritan.

    The thing it took me a while to understand, when I started to exit this religion, was just how stupid the JWs and their WTBTS were.

    Even their bible knowledge is made up BS.

    If you are into devout phony-ism being a JW will work for you.

    fedup -

    I feel your pain.

    This is probably the most important thing they said in terms of their view. No surprises here.

    4) What makes the law of Christ superior to the Mosaic law?

    They didn't mention the most important thing Jesus (by way of voices in TOMO's head), told the GB? The tightness of trousers matters more than protecting children from the plethora of sexual predators in the org.

    Really, those bhenchords are slipping, aren't they!
