  My wife and I attended the morning session yesterday and one old man had to helped out of his chair by two brothers to reply to the two questions. This was one person out of 529 in attendance. Last weekend we attended the afternoon session and found out only one born in teen was dunked out of our circuit at over 529 in attendance. We did not watch the old man getting dunked. I hope he survived. lol Our region is southern Saskatchewan, Canada.

  NEW BLOOD CARD w/ FORCED COMPLIANCE also LEGALISM

  by apocalypse in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have looked around and i don't see this covered, so i am starting a thread.. 1) the new "blood card" goes beyond being just a "blood card".. 2) a new edict concerning compliance.. pay attention to the changes.. first, the new card is termed "advance decision to refuse specified medical treatment".

  the big change with the card itself is that it includes an 'override' of your "power of attorney".

  this is huge.

  I tossed my card out back in 2010 and will not have one. If I am cornered and forced to sign a card, I will refuse. If the elders want to DF me and that will be okay.

  I like to think that the WT$ is a multi-level marketing business or a pyramid company with GB at the top and no money for the workers at the bottom.

  Another generation....

  by joey jojo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it has been 21 years since the 1995 article that pretty much buried the idea of the '1914 generation'.. remember those guys?

  the ones born in 1914 that would still be alive when the end of the system arrived.. i'm glad i'm old enough to remember going from door to door, preaching this belief.

  the reason i say that is because i have a lot of 'still in' jw friends and family.

  I read in some WT$ publication years ago that mentioned that 'those who were old enough and understood the events at the time of 1914 would not pass away' or something along those lines. Well those people have passed away and the big 'A' has not arrived. Another false prediction.

  but they don't forgive because they still shun people.

  who they feel are not worthy of forgivenes.

  I recall love statements in the watchtower study on Sunday and I kept thinking about the marking, shunning and disfellowshipping policy. Love in the WTS is conditional.

  I sat in on this meeting yesterday for about 90 minutes and walked out of the hall bored out of my mind. I needed fresh air to wake up. lol. It's the same old news and not a special meeting. No GB member gave a talk or made a comment. I see it this way, just another pep talk.

  I told my field circus elder that I had health problems and will not preach and he the other elders backed off. I am into a long term successful fade and no more calls from the elders. My wife is a born in jw and still thinks the WT$ is God's organization. I hope she wakes up soon that this religion is a cult.

  First thoughts on "new" meeting...

  by konceptual99 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  had a quick look at the workbook and flicked through the sample meeting video.. the increased use of video shows the trend for more centralised dissemination of "best practice" .

  sure there isn't really a "school" any more and the format is a bit different but i think those that called it as the same old crap just in new package got it pretty much right.

  Sat through it and found the meeting boring. The book of Matthew was pointed out many times for reasons. I did get the feeling the WT$ is pushing again for more preaching activity.

  I researched this topic a few months back. The more you search the more you learn. There never was a global flood.
