a while ago someone (i forget who) was doing a series, a regular analysis, of wt studies from the current week.
i have't seen any for a while so i thought i'd contribute one.
have a bit of fun picking out all the unsubstantiated assertions and logical fallacies etc... so here goes: (if you enjoy it let me know and i might try doing another.
Yes, even the video shown on the Friday of the convention had the sister give up an afternoon of painting (her hobby evidently ) because she had to go out on a bible study!
That not so subtle direction from the GB was that even scheduled personal time should be readily given up in favour of "theocratic" activities...
any wordpress gurus here that might be able to help?

Brilliant summary Doubtful!
Yes, the flawed and leading reasoning of the society is so "evidently" clear to us all after we step away from the bubble!
I often ask myself, "HOW did we not see this when we were in??"
so this happened awhile back ago, i was talking to this bethelite that i respect, i consider him to be very sincere.
this was during the time i had discovered the un association the society had as an ngo.
i already knew the answer, but to see his response, i asked him "was the society ever part of the united nations?
As PE says, witnesses have an answer to justify or explain it no matter what the situation is.
The sad reality is, it doesn't matter what the GB or Society does, it will ALWAYS be "justifiable" in the average witnesses eyes.... so much for HONESTY and INTEGRITY and TRUTH!
in the june 2004 kingdom ministry, the self-appointed "faithful slave" published this spiritual exhortation as a q&a item - "the congregation book study—why we need it.
three years later, in 2007 - in the august kingdom ministry - the same "slave" issued this reminder - "how the congregation book study arrangement helps us.
but surprise, surprise - within a few short months the "slave" decided that jehovah had had a change of heart, and now decided that the book study in homes - with all of its alleged benefits - was superfluous: .
Yes, as redvip2000 says, we were always told that during the TRIBULATION, we would only be able to meet under ban in small group study home arrangements...
Once again, the society was just making it up as they went along...
my wife and i went to a concert on friday night.
there was a friend of ours there doing security, and she happens to be an exjw too.
she sent me a message on messenger to inform me that my brother and his wife were at the show, not knowing that i'd be there too.
Well played!
Yes, they are the ones who looked and acted like fools.
We all feel sorry for those who choose to give over their natural human affection to the dictates of a bunch of men who they don't even know in person! (didn't the bible say that the last days would be marked by those with "no natural affection"??)
Yes, they will shun their own family because some guys they don't even know tell them to...
the governing body of jehovah's witnesses, known for its aggressive worldwide proselytizing efforts, stunned many of its 12-million members by declaring war this week on a los angeles denim and designer jeans organization that goes by the name “true religion.”.
“as members of jehovah's one true religious faith we have no business of associating with any organization that claims to be jehovah's true religion!” a letter from the gb states.
it was dated july 20.. in its opening salvo, the seven-member gb directed believers to not “shop at, buy, nor even wear” true religion's products.
Or is this one more appropriate for the Society?:

If clothing companies are in the crosshairs of the GB, then what about this one?
Surely the GB think they have the monopoly on the term OBEY
what is the minimum meeting attendace for someone, who is of good health, has not children doesn't work in a job that requires travel and lives about 3 miles from the kh?
is 50% for clam and 75% for watchtower acceptable?.
As Freddo says, it all depends on WHO he is, and HOW well liked he is...or if he is the BULLY elder...
in the july broadcast of jw broadcasting tony morris one of the gb was telling people about what the jws do in iceland with the cart work and mentioned that they have plastic covers for the books and magazines so that they last longer, ialways thought the end of the world was so close ?.
Yes, it really is a sad reflection on Jehovah and Jesus, if their choice of co rulers is these turkeys!
Perhaps J and J are just having a laugh seeing how many witnesses will blindly follow the rantings of these crazy fools?
