here in holland jw.org is organizing for the first time the yearly conventions like circuits.
the whole summer the new convention hall is used for small group conventions instead of 10.000 seat external halls.. it keeps the money in the organization.
not renting external buildings.. the 29.000 witnesses here are divided now into 2.000 seat audience.. g..
Its interesting gorby, here in the usa the convention i picked my daughter up from was also all the same circuit, although held in a typical larger arena. Peak attendance was only 6k though, whoch is much smaller than normal.... this seems to be the new norm. Please dear thor make them stop the traveling crap!!!!
With no new releases i heard more than a few grumble that the effort wasnt worth it anymore
just read some of this latest awake on the org's webshite.. it begins by talking about the 'supernatural' - wizards, witches, vampires, etc.
- their popularity and why they might appeal to people.
then it goes on to state the wt belief that someone is 'behind it'.. now, i like a few horror/scary films - when i was a kid, i always actually liked being a bit scared by them, tbh.. the silence of the lambs, a nightmare on elm street (1984), the ring, the witch, the thing (1982) and a few others are all great, imo.. they are just genres and subgenres of film, that's all.
Damn it uni! Spoiler alert!
isnt nice to see the governing body being so humble, meek and not seeking their own importance?.

@moster- absolutely did! Dark has posted the article that showed it directly from the cult. Damn shame.

The big green egg crate is what they stack the dishes on to run them through the dishwasher, as seen in the pic. They have the sprayer and sinks for pre rinsing and such. So so so fake. And i bet the dubbs lap it up because it ls exactly what they want to see and believe. And i really dislike that arrogant jackass in particular.

That is the phoniest most staged crap pic ever. Bull. Shit. As already noted, NOBODY wears long sleeves to wash dishes. Nobody wears french cuffs and cuff links. Nobody wears their nice watch (and i own a few). Bull. Shit.

Meh... i cant be critical on this point. If they didnt take pics with people they would be called arrogant. Being a dub has always meant taking tons of pics of everyone u meet and especially at conventions.
We can however be critical of them autographing bibles for cuban dictators.

recently the extremely smart (so he tells us) but comparatively inexperienced person, elected by the very smart people who live in the usa, to be their president, announced that he was limiting ties with qatar (a small arab state in the middle east) on the grounds that they were supporting terrorism.. and yet, the very next day, he authorises the sale of twelve billion us dollars worth of modern american fighters (f15s) to that small state, in which is located ... .
" ... the biggest us military base in the middle east, al udeid.
ten thousand american personnel are there, many of them prosecuting the air war against isis in syria and iraq.
"Aside from the fact that China can hardly be called 'communist,' (except in the name of the governing Party)"
sigh.... im sure english isnt your first language but do you inderstand what you wrote...? China isnt communist execpt for that fact that they call themselves communist.... i just cant do this with you. If you want to worship chairman mao you go right ahead but you wont convince the rest of the world that the Chinese communists are anything but Chinese communists.
The world still remembers Tiananmen square
