hello everyone, it's been quite a while since i was last on this forum.
originally i was under a different user name, but lost all that information when i moved to a different state.
anyways, i had left the jws back in 2001, after being raised up in it most of my childhood life.
Lisarose had a great response.
If you decide not to attend, I would let both parties know why you will not show. Make sure you use the word hypocrite, when explaining it to the JW's. Oh, by the way, why are the JW's "mixing company" with the evil "worldly" family members?

If you want to go...go. Tell the family members if you are invited, you will leave when you feel like leaving. If the JW relatives don't like it then THEY can leave or opt not to go. I wouldn't play their games.
Welcome back!

"No wonder this year's convention has that awful Bunker video! Yeap the round up is about to begin and the WT knows it!"
Spot on rebelfighter! The GB knows that the jig is up. The ARC will be coming to bite them in the a**, along with all the law suits. The bunker video's are just a tool to prepare the oblivious rank and file for the publicity that the cult will receive, once this all comes to a head. WT will then use the "persecution card". They have been lining this up for years.
i'm speechless.
i know this guy.

Sad for the children involved. So much for the "holy spirit" choosing and guiding these men.

why isn't the boston globe doing a better job covering this group?.
after all, the movie spotlight won an oscar about this paper and their groundbreaking journalism into the catholic church covering child abuse.
A piece of journalism that DOES NOT cover the entire topic. It happens a lot in journalism. Like someone said, nothing about blood and shunning. I guess it depends on who the journalist interviews. We all could tell them a thing or two.
according to my elder in law, by next year the number of dc/rc's will increase by 143. the size of conventions will get smaller.
the elder in law says the goal is to make them all have around 2,000 or so at each.
they are going to make more manuals detailing each job and it's responsibilities.
The entire org (cult ) is being restructured.
We think they will eventually have the RC's at local assembly halls. No longer using the big venues. It's all a shell game. Keep moving the shells, so no one notices the changes (decrease in #'s).
i'm going to relate a jw family that i know of that highlight how disproportionate disfellowshipping is.
both dad (elder) and mum are die hard jw.
the son was always a nasty boy and when he got into drugs it just intensified his personality 10 fold.
That is why I am so grateful each day that our children never got baptized. It is the worst form of bullying and emotional blackmail. We have seen similar examples. WT has a lot of blood on their hands.
i went to the mid week meeting and looked at the attendance figures on the noticeboard for the three congregations that share the local kingdom hall.
i wrote down the three previous sundays attendances and this sunday (after the referendum) too.
cong c. (95 pubs) 74/82/73/90.
Freddo - Great observation. What will be interesting is how long will the numbers stay inflated. I remember a few meetings after 911, attendance was up by 20% or more. After a few weeks it went back to normal.
Obviously these weak ones are of the Kevinly class!
the organization really has some talented people in it.
seriously talented.
artists, musicians, animators, and any other creative venue you can think of.
It's all about CONTROL for the WT! That's why it sucks so bad to be a JW!
tuesday, june 28. we continually remember your faithful work, your loving labor.—1 thess.
1:3.. full-time servants have significant responsibilities in the most important work the world has ever known.

Give more, give more, give more! They are tapping the congregations dry! I think it is waking up many. Keep up the good work WT. Your doing our dirty work for us.
