Theme of this year's series of Conventions

by MrTheocratic in

it was announced this week that the theme for the 3 day convention is "do not give up".

these are the words that are spoken to someone who is struggling and is in the process of giving up.

this theme tells me that many in the organization are tiring out and slowing down.

Convention today in Baton Rouge

anyone attending ?i have family still in that are there.

and i see on the local news that some of the protests are becoming rowdy.

i pray that they are safe because they have this deluded attitude that jehovah will keep them safe and nothing will happen to them.

Have not heard anything from my family. I'll hear about everything next week. About how great the convention was. And then the shunning will begin.😡

Thanks aubergine. I can see them trying to go witness to the protesters thinking they're doing something good.

I pray that they are safe because they have this deluded attitude that Jehovah will keep them safe and nothing will happen to them. So they act very carelessly about things like this.

In the paradise JWs will have a standard uniform

by RodrigoGuerreiro in

anyone else notice this on the last video of the regional convention 2016?.

frame stills:.

conclusion: it seems that the paradise will not be only the end of wickedness but also the end of the jws typical cheap polyester suits :-p.

"Just don't overthink the truth"

so after almost a year of complete inactivity and non attendance, i ran into a nice brother from the local congregation.. after some nice chit-chat, he says "we really miss you and your family...etc...you were always the kind and supportive one, the approachable and encouraging one in the congregation.

your absence has confused so many".

i thanked him and said "oh no, no individual has stumbled us.

My own father told me to go there, sit down and shut up (referring to their meetings). It's crazy how they will try to rationalize their own doubts .

Is Larry Graham an Elder?

i think he is, but i"m not too sure.

just wondering because looking at that purple pimp outfit with hat that he wore to prince's memorial, i wonder if he ever gave a talk wearing the same outfit, when i've read here that some brothers were talked to for wearing a pastel colored shirt while giving a talk..

Oppostate your hoochie momma comment brought back some memories. I got in so much trouble back in the day for saying a sister looked like one. That didn't go over to well😈

If Prince had an addiction to prescriptions drugs, it's a personal matter but if I want to grow a beard or attend college, it's not.

interesting article i found about prince and the jw religion.

i guess they are trying to get their 15 minutes of fame.

i find it disturbing that the elder stated if prince had an addiction to prescription drugs, that is a personal matter but the hundreds of intrusive jw rules like going to college (not scriptural) and growing a beard (also not scriptural) are not also considered a personal choice.
