Attendance was really high in our hall. Like twice as high as normal.
But hopefully it was the last memorial because the wts will receive some new light and decide to come clean about screwing people over for the past 100+ years

So sorry to report... this memorial was not the last one
by suavojr innothing new to report... this memorial was not the last one (sigh) :(.
on top of that, the assistance for my hall was the same as last year.
i don't see how they will break the 20 million mark.. also, with the current trend the brothers who partake publicly will most likely pass the 14,000.. how was the memorial in your part of the world?.

From a Non JW Critic Post Memorial: Your Religion is Changing
by kneehighmiah ina non jw relative who is a staunch critic of the wt attends the memorial with us every year, but just because she enjoys worshiping with her relatives.
she fought against my parents becoming witnesses before i was born.
she owns the book 30 years a wt slave and suggested i read it.

Thought only our speaker kept going on about christendom's churches. It seems counter-productive if they pick the one night of the year that they expect more non-jws (and usually people interested in Jesus in some way) to do the whole "lol those idiot churches say..." stuff.
The jw.org plug in our one seemed a bit rushed. I think the brother forgot to mention it earlier in the talk because he stumbled over his words trying to fit it in while they passed out the wine.
In our hall no one partakes so they just pass the bread and wine along. Is that the same in all the halls? I saw one woman laughing to herself when she saw that that was all we did with it and up until then I didn't realise how weird it was. Like touching the plate/glass is that much of an honour

Just noticed something else that proves the Bible is made up.
by BU2B inexodus 9 then the lord said to moses, go to pharaoh and say to him, this is what the lord, the god of the hebrews, says: let my people go, so that they may worship me.
2if you refuse to let them go and continue to hold them back, 3the hand of the lord will bring a terrible plague on your livestock in the fieldon your horses, donkeys and camels and on your cattle, sheep and goats.
4but the lord will make a distinction between the livestock of israel and that of egypt, so that no animal belonging to the israelites will die.?.

Children's comic about Lot and his family on jw.org
by DuvanMuvan inthe comic (which you can find here) is pretty much everything i dislike about the wt.. if you've read it you'll see how they have added to/ taken away parts of the account to make it read how they would like you to read it.. in this version, lot's wife is a materialistic b*tch who got what she deserved and lot is a hero who stood up to the bad sodomite men.. no doubt you also saw all the wonderful images of people dying while fire and sulphur rained down from the skies.
and who says the wt don't provide for the "young ones".
the part about this that makes me really mad is that this stuff is aimed at children.

Probably why they have to teach them to people as children and stop them from thinking for themselves later on

if they're made using stem cells the gb might stumble onto some "new light" to stop any jws from using it so they can still push the no-blood rule

The part about this that makes me really mad is that this stuff is aimed at children. When they grow up even the most perveted things in the bible won't phase them because they'll be used to it and won't even question it.
sorry if the link isn't working, computer's being annoying.
*if first link isn't working try this one*

DD it makes you wonder what kind of all-knowing, merciful god doesn't go for the easiest/least damaging option.
If god wanted to make his name known maybe he should try telling people indiviually instead of getting one random guy to do it for you and then kill everyone for not doing what you want.

Please explain God's wisdom in Judges19;22-30
by jam inthe just of the account, two people enter a city and can not .
find lodging.
an old man invite them to stay with him (levite).. this is so weird, all the men of the city come to have sex with.

it's probably a way the writer tries to make the men seem more twisted seeing how homosexuality was viewed back then.

Life for me as a jw (not really) teenager

Thanks never a jw.
i wanna see how my mum reacts when she realises that I apparently fit the description of an apostate to an extent but I'm still the same person as I always was. She has been leaniant in the past so she might realise that when they talk about apostates or "worldy people" it doesnt apply to everyone who isn't a jw.
