  International Convention...Same Message, Same Emotional Manipulation

  by HeyThere in

  2. bible

  well, of course nothing else would be expected, but it passes me off.. for example, they show this short video that shows a child dying, shows her father crying as he visits her grave...and then she is reunited with her family in "the new system" and then it shows a handicapped girl who is sad she can't ice skate with friends...fast forward to tns, she can skate!!!

  then an elderly couple is shown happily young again.... .

  and of course the end is "so close!

  HeyThere

  It was very disturbing. There were around 48,000 people there just eating it up. One man cried during the drama. I think it is good for people to have hope, but the wtbts is taking advantage of people and it is sick. They want money and people gladly give it to support these dreams. They also are focused on 1914 and the generations and how this system is ending soon, so very soon. Blech.

  easy... skip it!.

  but already i had people calling me asking where i was yesterday!!!!

  the system the jw's have in place can be compared to a communist regime , where everyone keeps a check on each other.

  i've been given permission to post news of our friend.. kate hasn't been very well.

  not well at all.

  i think much of it has been a delayed reaction to her df'ing, the general fallout when leaving the wtbs and family issues.. i just wanted to give you guys the heads up and give you a chance to show how much we care about her.. thanks for listening..

  They also had a speaker who went on a random speel about pets and not focusing to much attention on pets and that pets are basically just for entertainment and we don't want entertainment and hobbies such as pets to distract our service to jehovah
