new light: i hear all the time as the armageddon gets closer the light get's brighter.
where in the bible is this supported.
all i could fined is in.
Yes, the scripture at proverbs that witnesses love to use to prove light getting brighter needs to be read in its entirety!
It is not talking about organisational teachings or doctrines at all......
Anyway, one of the best quotes to throw back at witnesses is from CT Russell himself...
"A new view of truth can never contradict a former truth. 'New Light' never extinguishes old light, but simply adds to it" .

have you noticed how the org, and individuals are more concerned about the actual event such as the international conventions, rather than the content of the program?.
i often shake my figurative head (ok, literal one too!
), as i see the all the hype being generated by the act of attending, and think that most are not actually interested in the stuff that will be presented, but are more concerned about simply being there or getting there..... and, they are more focussed on the activity of a campaign, such as a tract work, or invitation hand out, rather than the actual content of the material.. .
Yes Steve2!
I have had ones already saying things like "I can't wait to shake the hand of the governing body members who will be coming to Melbourne"!
i like to tell you what we've been doing these past few days here in portugal (ex-jw).
we create a brochure and printing, so we can send to the maximum of congregations in portugal.
some individuals were also covered in this campaign.. the title of the pamphlet is: "when will the kingdom arrive?".
Even the society recognises that spanish cultural backgrounds are very common, hence the "father" character in the kids section of the JW.ORG website (caleb and sofia) is very obviously spanish or portugese...
Anyway...great looking "tract"!
It has the very JW authentic style to it!
I have tried to print it, but I cant get the two pages to align up correctly so that they fit on a page....
If someone can do it, it would be appreciated...
Then we can print it out and leave copies on the literature counter!????????????????
not sure if this has been posted before.. .

OH MY GOODNESS!!
WTF???
wow...even as a kid, I would have seen right through this propaganda garbage!
The bit showing the kid sad when mom and dad are sick and she cant go to the hall?
Oh come on!!!!
And the attempted subliminal messages like the one showing that kids shouldnt sit on the floor during the meeting playing, but should be in the chair or moms arms paying attention...
and the bit....oh naaa...I just cant say anymore.... soooo angry.....
Why wasnt there a bit showing the kid looking wistfully out of the window longlingly at all the normal community families and kids playing in the park instead...

Yes, even the dvd sent out to all congs in australia was a pure 'hype up' to get everyone to go to Melbourne....because "so much effort has gone into the planning and arranging" etc...
BUT hardly a word about the supposed actual reason...you know..."to be taught by god"...
is it possible to maintain personal beliefs as a member of the watchtower society when absolute unity is demanded?https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20140601160940aawap1s.
this question was deleted from yahoo!
answers due to it being "insulting/ ranting" against a group.
if so, what would be some examples?.
.
only questions that show a higher degree of thought and intelligence please..

It shows that the average witness is in it not because of the "truth" of teachings, but more because of the social aspect....
Can some of our members make up a "mock badge" that we can wear instead...?
Same colours and font...with a different set of words?
