Why did the Estonia/Latvia/Lithuania/Finland specifically enter the conversation? Anyone from around there here? I'm in Tallinn :)

2014 MEMORIAL ATTENDANCES FOR REST OF THE WORLD
by steve2 inthe october kingdom ministry for the united states reported the 2014 memorial attendances for the us branch office that has subsequently been well discussed in a separate thread.
in that thread, a poster asserted that in some parts of europe the attendance had been higher than last year - but to date no source evidence has been provided.. so, have memorial attendances for other parts of the world been reported in any of the publications such as kingdom ministryyet?.
if so, could you direct me to the source(s).

Something Big is Coming...
by notsurewheretogo inthe annual meeting of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will be in october 2014.. .. in november 2013, just after the last one they published this now famous statement in the 15th of november 2013 watchtower page 16 paragraph 17 says:.
"at that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from jehovahs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.
all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.".

The intense "we must accept changes" cry is most probably due to the transitioning from door-to-door & printing to street & internet. Many of the r&f don't think of the door to door work and literature placements just as practical means of recruiting but as a command from the J-Dog (as the WT has been hammering into their heads for over 100 years). So now they may have confused feelings about all that.
I recall how there was a big fall-out among the exUSSR JWs in the late 1980s when the org made contact again and started enforcing contemporary policyes. Many who had been hardcore JWs through the Soviet era just didn't start going door to door and eventually told the org to fuck off instead (before WW II they advertized on radio and newspapers and only went to remote farms in person; no door-knocking in towns was happening back then over here).

"It's not religious..." Wait... What???
by dynamiterose77 inmy friend, mike works as a massage therapist, and there is a woman at the shop that is super-jw-woman and is constantly hounding him with things.. today, he's messaging me and he tells me that she was trying to push a brochure or something on him.
he said he'd really rather not read a religious pamphlet.. so... she says, "it's not religious... it's from god.".
isn't that kinda what religious means?

JWs have always been anti-terminology. This is the easyest way of demagogy and errand rethoric.
Cults are bad - but we are not a cult
I'm dissapointed in churches - but we are not a church
Your doctrines are flawed - we do not call them doctrines at all
Shunning is a brutal practice - we don't even use the term
And so on.
Works on those with IQ less than 33. And as we all know, the JW.orgy is not bothering about the other kind any more.

Oral argument court date to happen very, very soon. When the desicion comes down evryone on Facebook will know about it. Thanks for asking.
...says Kathleen today.
On a general note, from what I gather, the WT appealed, so that's why we are still having this discussion. No non-disclosure settlement, just going to the next level.

Changes to Watchtower publication pictures
by rory-ks in.
are there any more examples like this?
pictures changed because a person was disfellowshipped?.

Oh, and if you want explanation in addition to the thing itself, please consider this. As they say, one picture speaks more than a thousand words. Why go great length to wonder why the WT does historical revisionism if we can just take a look at this "instructional photo":

You should really take some time to explore the musical world and find your new favourites.
Plus, on a technical note, the JW meeting songs are 95% four-chord bullshit. I never understood why they hailed their songs to 7th heaven, as I have a musical background and I noticed the incredibly low level of musical value in some of them right away.
Then again, they have to pull the songs out of their asses just as they do with the doctrine, so what is there to expect, not much.

Finnish branch office PR lies on TV about shunning

Of course Doc, what I mean it is starting to go viral on it's own scale. As JWs are only 0.01% of the population, you multiply 1200 by (1/0.01) and you get 120000. So it's just like any general video geting 120k views in a few days.
