  BUMPED for a new generation of forum members... This is so cringe-worthy!

  With the popularity of JW broadcasts, how long will it be before some witness youths do something like this?

  Oh, and here is an interesting review of this attempted music video:

  Audio of Highlights of the Annual Meeting 2017

  i wouldn't dare bore you with the whole 3.5 hours of their dogma.

  but i have about a half hour of some of the main points.

  of course, i made sure tight pants tony was the main part of it, since he's the one that announced the reductions of the wt & awake and no more year book.. also, i have lett saying that jehovah gave jesus immorality instead of immortality.

  The "faithful and discreet slave" is simply a parable (story with a lesson) apparently told by Jesus...

  It has NO modern day application...no matter what the Society tries to claim.

  One of the key ways to tell if it is a cult or toxic high control group....

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my wife and i were discussing a sure sign of a cult:.

  when one knows more about the society / organization after leaving!.

  lets face it, most of us here on this forum, and ex-witnesses in general know more facts about the history, background, practices, current procedures, scandals, etc than the average "still-in witness"!

  That is surely a flashing red-light!? A member of any group should be the most educated and updated of all people. NOT those who have left.

  Any thoughts?

  Damon Wayans was apparently at 2017 Annual Meeting

  by Richard_I in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  from this post on reddit.com/r/exjw, damon wayans was at the 2017 annual meeting.

  the wayans were raised as jw's but i don't think any of them stated.. strange to see him here.

  this is the same man who defended bill cosby from all the sex abuse allegations..

  Contradicting Society directives

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with the agm changes, and the changes over the recent few years, it struck me just how contradictory and hypocritical the society is.. we were always told that "wonderful expansion" and growth in halls was proof of god's blessing.

  now it is the other way around, and building expansion is halted.. we were always told that door to door is the best way to take the "life saving" truth to people.

  now it is the cart work.... we were always told that the abundance of "spiritual food" in the form of publications was proof of gods direction and teaching.

  Oh that line from that "kingdom song" comes to mind:

  "Wondrous expansion is now taking place"
