  i watched this convention video and do not recognize this religion any longer.

  there are attendants singing and dancing in grass fields.

  later, you see sisters holding up this silly sign that makes me laugh.

  Either on here or another forum, I read someone said it looked like a "carnival." What a perfect way to describe the scenes shown.

  I'm all for having fun but we were raised in a era where it was pounded into us that everything was done "with decency and by arrangement." We were not allowed to play a "worldy" song at our wedding. We were not allowed to dance and sing at the KH or assembly hall. It is so weird to see all this entertainment @ these events. It's kind of like pulling up to a local assembly hall and seeing the blood drive bus/mobile there. WTF? The organization is not the same one we were raised in.

  When THEY get screwed by Watchtower! It usually takes that for them to start doubting! Although, we have seen some get screwed and they stay in. Go figure!!

  Holiday field service

  today is 4th of july in my part of the world- the us- and i was reflecting how we were strongly encouraged when we were still in to go out in the ministry on holidays.

  i just mentioned this memory to my husband and we reflected on how cult like this was.

  anyone else have thoughts on this?

  My Elder father NEVER went out in serve us on holidays. He always thought it was disrespectful. If he was assigned to lead the group, he would do so and then go home. He was very vocal to the ones who met in the group that he did not go out on holidays. He was one of the last decent Elders.

  INSANE last days speculation in 10/2019 WT

  the october 2019 study edition, speaking of the last days after the governments destroy all religion except jws:.

  at some point, the people whose re-ligions were destroyed may resent thefact that jehovah’s witnesses keep prac-ticing their religion.

  we can only imag-ine the uproar that this might create, in-cluding on social media.

  I am so sorry, I cried reading your post. Losing an animal is loosing a family member. They are part of your family, they are your family. Morgan will live on in your heart forever.

  WT does not have a clue about life or love. They are a heartless cult.

  Our hearts go out to you and your family!

  Rest in peace sweet Morgan.

  So a JW can not make money to feed his family if his work is inside a church BUT WT can sell a Kingdom Hall to a church? Hypocrisy much?

  WT...the "do as I say, not as I do" organization (I mean cult).

  Regional Convention - Greenville, SC USA

  by HiddenPimo in

  so my brother who never got baptized went to the convention today (went to make mom and dad happy since they are devastated that i am out) and he got very upset during the baptism talk and walked out because 3 of the candidates were under the age of 12 years of age.

  he said they have no clue what they are committing themselves to and will face what you faced (referring to me).

  i really wish the usa government would start cracking down on this cult..

  Sounds like a lot of people are walking out. Glad to see that your Brother see's through this cult.
