Today's wt study! Notice the faults?
by stuckinarut2 indid we all notice the way in which this weeks wt study (how to maintain a positive viewpoint) was all about keeping the flock positive even if they feel they are not doing enough in 'service'?.
the irony is that the very reason they feel stressed or worthless is because of the pressures the org puts on them to perform!!!.

OMG I'm so happy!!!!
by Julia Orwell inyup, the apostate is happy.
i shouldn't be, right, because my life is empty without "jehovah" and the organisation.. but i just got a job at one of the best theme parks in the world, which is so what i want to do, and it's the first permanent job i've had since i lost my government job in 2012!.
the job pays minimum wage but i don't care because working in tourism and entertainment is what i want to do!

Things to understand about talking to a Jehovah's Witness...
by drew sagan inplease note that everything i write here is within the context of discussions between two witnesses.
conversations between a jw and non jw are different in a number of ways and so i will not be discussing them here.
the 'running ahead' fallacy.

My JW Mom came for an impromptu visit yesterday. It went great! :)
by Faithful Witness init is so nice to start actually believing that my mom wants to have a relationship with me and my kids again.
there was awhile, where it was in question, and she wasn't sure if she was supposed to associate with us or not.
i think the stand that my sister has taken against me, is actually causing my mom to start doubting whether it is a good idea to follow this cruel example of "love" as defined by the watchtower.

An increase in security at this summer's conventions??
by gingerbread inwe've heard from friends in two separate congregations in our city that convention security will be tight.. the brothers made announcements this week and reminded everyone to be sure to wear their name badges.
those that don't may be questioned and have their belongings searched.
the same will be happen to anyone arriving during the sessions.

i think I read a thread where someone had said that some of the venues requore security beyond the brothers. i may be wrong. i do think some also said some are in unsafe areas?
