Correct, they won't be on jw.org till the new year, can't have people able to download these before they have been released in all conventions.
Can you copy that video and upload it so we can see it before its released else where?
"we should be mindful".
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
"This old system of things only has a few more years left". This one really sets me off, especially when you hear those that have been witnees's for many decades still saying it. I can only put it down to these ones having a poor memory and forgetting that they said this same saying 30 - 40 years ago.
"we should be mindful".
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
"We are deep, deep, Deep in the time of the end". Used to hear this saying alot back in the 80' and 90's. Not so much now.
i am just so amazed at how 'stoopid' the average witness is as they get sucked into the hype of a special campaign work!.
especially amazing is the one about to start in our neck of the world!.
everyone is 'encouaged' (pushed and made to feel guilty if they dont.
Same with the memorial invites, just imagine how many people would turn up to the the memorial if only 5% of those invited came. Remember Jehovah is speeding things up in his own time and with the help of the holy spirit, making this the obvious time for people to come to the mountain of the house of Jehovah. I'm not sure why this increase is not happening? well not here its not, and I've been waiting over 25 years to see the increased numbers of people turning to Jehovah.

"Moving to where the need is greater"
there are a number of books available on amazon giving the life stories of ex-witnesses.
i've always been intrigued by one called "i'm perfect, you're doomed" by kyria abrahams, which sounds like a witty read.
one day i'll buy it!.
Thanks Helen for bringing your book to my attention. Not sure if Mr Monroe is still on this site but lets hope he is and makes a reply.

i was wondering if anyone is aware of any recordings of the convention as of yet?
i know its relatively early, so i may just have to wait.
just curious if anyone had a copy yet.. thanks!.
Wow, that log in works. Wonder how many multiple log ins it can take before it gets pulled?
you'd think they could point to something right?
obviously we're the one true religion".. i can't fathom how anyone of any intelligence would be willing to join up with this org after doing even rudimentary research.. for years they have taught that it's wrong to seek advanced education or to plan for a "worldly" future by trusting in this system of things and then this past sunday the watchtower article rips on people for not planning for the future in regard to their elderly relatives.
maybe if they hadn't been teaching for 100 yr's that the end was "just around the corner" and telling us we'd better believe that fact...or else, we would have planned better for a future that you said without reservation would not even occur.. what mind blowing prediction can they point to that would convince someone "oh yeah..these guys have it right"...?.
Good point, until you mentioned that I thought last weeks wt study was one of the better ones, no self promoting or use of the word evidently to tell us something thats not bible based. Also now looks like they could be thinking that the end is not just around the corner anymore.
i like to tell you what we've been doing these past few days here in portugal (ex-jw).
we create a brochure and printing, so we can send to the maximum of congregations in portugal.
some individuals were also covered in this campaign.. the title of the pamphlet is: "when will the kingdom arrive?".
This leaflet looks great, very easy to read and understand. This is the very subject that first revealed the cracks in the Watchtowers protective shell to me 14 years ago. But reading this leaflet with the mindset of a JW, and knowing what other strong minded JWs will say if they were to read it, I would make some small changes to it.
1: I think that each years quote needs to have the WT publication reference from where the quote was taken, otherwise too easy for a JW to dismiss these as simply made up lies.
2: JWs are now pushing and promoting the website JW.org has the only website that witness's should use, the mention of any other websites outside this will sound off warnings that could lead them to apostate websites, And they most certainly don't want that. Most JWs I know (maybe all I know) would not go any further into reading this leaflet upon seeing all those other website links under "Want more Information".
the numerous comments and experiences from this sites contributing posters add a real flavour to a persons overall knowledge of the society, both present day and historically.
i can well see how even many, many dyed in the wool witnesses skim or even study this site.
if i was still attending and seriously supporting the society, i would be fascinated to read these comments.
Yes. I do too.
