today a main point in the wt was a guess game.. the study elder asked: .
what's wrong on the picture?.
before i share the local conclusions here, i would like to hear the comments made in your congregation 😎.
As "Jesus" said about the religious leaders in his day "they strain out the gnat, and gulp down the camel"
or
"they bind up heavy loads on the shoulders of others"
Seriously ?! Why dont they focus on the good things those brothers are doing : THEY ARE AT THE MEETINGS! Why are they being scolded for their attire?
Surley, if themeetings are deemed to be so vital, isn't it good that they were even there!?

I like your thinking menrov !
jw's around the globe have been encouraged to write letters to putin and the russian government.
they are expected to give their personal details on the envelope.
i appreciate that this might be normal when writing to your own government if they are tolerant, but is this not a bit strange that the gb want to give putin the address of every jw in the world?
Oh Stephane! That sounds so sad! So sorry that conversation happened.
Well done in making those points.
It truly is amazing just how manipulated and distorted witnesses are.
msoneone of fb sent me this.
looks like they know they're being exposed as the frauds they are.
this plus the theme of the next convention "don't give up" just reeks of desperation.. stash: /intesoft-inc.appspot.com/post/b21fe47ca2644a0ea2f6e28fe6401145.html
Well said DoC!
witnesses ARE secretly visiting websites and learning the truth about the truth!

Let's just face the facts: Any religion that teaches that EVERYONE except them will be brutally destroyed is extremist!
(original version posted 2014).
notice: the following is submitted in full recognition of and with compassion and due respect for those who, due to personal circumstance, feel they are unable to employ this powerful strategy.. ---.
anyone who has awakened to ttatt and has conscientiously left the organization--especially a once-prominent, highly-regarded, studious true-believer from a celebrated multi-generational tribe of jws-- after decades of devout, high-profile "serve-us," who continues to put in an annual appearance at the memorial thoroughly subverts and undermines, by this one act, any hope s/he may entertain that his/her departure will stir family or former friends to question the whole watchtower bamboozle.
Well said!
I agree completely.
By attending, it shows that we still believe that the society holds some sort of authority over us. It says "we still believe it may be 'the truth'"
We haven't been to two years now, (or conventions, or assemblies or meetings.)
That HAS been noticed by still ins, some of whom have hedged around the subject and indicated that has made them think...."why would two very active ones simply stop?"
this is the whole of the instructions that the watchtower gave jws when writing to russian officials -.
content • you are writing to the official to request his intervention.
express the hope that the russian authorities will stop the legal action being taken against the branch office and the congregations in russia so that our brothers and sisters can continue to gather peacefully for christian meetings without interference.
How long will it be until Greg Holland's business "ministry ideas" gets hacked by expert Russian hackers?
i never got into trouble with the elders.
i served on judicial committees too many times.
i am happy that i no longer have to "judge" whether someone is a "sinner" any longer!
I simply politely refused to go before any elders....
Why should I submit myself to such a sham of events?
Always remember this: "The ONLY power they have over you, is that which you allow"
1. in bro sandersons latest video (in which he shows a very impressive skill with russian) he mentions two likely results of the imminent russian ban: the liquidation of the branch office and its assets, and the individual brothers capacity to worship freely.
no prizes for guessing which one gets mentioned first!.
2. why have the gb never attempted in the past, and are not interested in attempting now, such a letter writing campaign in other communist countries where the work is under similar restrictions, like china, or vietnam?
Great observation indeed!
Yes, the ASSETS are the issue here.
Plus they are using this "letter writing" campaign as a way to build hype and enthusiasm amongst the flock, all the while feuling the persecution complex!

wow...desperation indeed!
The GB know that TRUTH is always going to come out, so they try and stigmatize anything said by others as "dangerous propaganda"
