Rumor about the Imitate Jesus Convention
by FusionTheism ini saw a rumor a few weeks ago on reddit that the new imitate jesus convention is supposed to present new light and clarified understandings on the disfellowshipping/disassociation practices.. supposedly, if this rumor has any truth to it, there will be a talk given at the convention about how we should not be strict like the pharisees in how we shun people, loosening up some of the jw rules about this practice.. has anyone here heard anything about this or have more info on it?.

The regional convention is all about Jesus, compete with a music video presentation. This should be the beginning of the org becoming mainstream. No org can remain so rigid forever. The catholic church is an example. -

They might be driving me nuts
by stillin inthe "boasting session" last night included forcing the congregation to watch that stupid witnessing cart video.
then the brother handling the part discusses what a "powerful witness" is being given each time those carts roll out into public view.. experiences: had a nice conversation with a young man.
a woman took a tract.

The pioneers in my hall take long naps by the cart and then turn out 10hours for a day. Smh -

why did man go from living 900 years to 90?
by sowhatnow ini cant recall the scripture, where it says than only a few men will he live to be 80 years or so, can anyone recall that?.
so then im wondering, if it is a fact that men lived long years 900 in some cases, for what reason would god limit our lifespan if our time is so short compared to his?.
how on earth does man go from living 8 and 9 hundred years down to 80 to 100 ?.

Worst Memorial Talk Ever!
by The Searcher ini honestly have never heard such claptrap being delivered in a memorial talk.. the speaker repeatedly put down the way other religions administered the bread & wine, and claimed that witnesses do it exactly as the bible describes.
oh yeah????.
he forgot to mention - when reading aloud 1 corinthians 11:25 - that after passing the bread, a full meal was to be shared, before the wine was passed around!

Lol!! First memorial since I woke up! Its all so dry. No one really pays attention to the talk. It's just a social pageantry. -

The WT Society is Extreme for a reason.
by Giordano inmost of the following is fairly well known but with so many new ones on this site as well as non jws with questions about the culture and beliefs the following information may be useful.. the current gb's paranoia with 'apostates' or apostate-like behavior (like thinking independently) has it's roots in the early history of the wt society.
the truth of the matter is that the watchtower society has had a checkered history in retaining members and between 1909 to 1931 a number of groups broke away.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/history_of_jehovah%27s_witnesses.

This is my first time seeing this transcript and I'm shocked at Hayden Covington's answers! The WT was truly founded on crappy roots. -

This Week's Service Meeting
by berrygerry in"or perhaps there is an adult brother who is restricted from conducting the meeting or offering congregation prayer for reasons known by the elders.
without revealing confidential information, the elders should let the assigned sisters know that they should conduct and pray even if he is in attendance.".
too funny..

What a boring video. Ugh . eww
This is just crazy and backward.
How are people going to buy iPads and stuff to read jw.org if they dont get educated to get good jobs. Especially in Africa and other less developed nations. Smh.
As the world keeps on moving forward, "Jehovah's chariot " keeps on retreating .

A Question for Underground Apostates, How Many Are There?
by Village Idiot inwhen i first came to this forum i was of the belief that those of us who were still in due to family reasons were few in numbers perhaps one in a thousand in the jws.
soon i came to the realization that there were many more.
we have dozens of posters here who are mentally out but still in.

Im still in cos of the family and some friends. My whole family is deeply in. Its hard to be mentally alone. I doubt in my Cong there's and underg apostates. Most of them are not intellectual enough to think for themselves.
I am sure there are some in other Cong's tho
