too much crap to keep track of, but a few low lights of day one of the regional convention stuck out.
in no particular time sequence here is some of what i managed to hold down.. tight pants yapped on in the opening part about a three part theme to conventions.
part 1 was in 2016, part 2 is this year, and part 3 is in the works for 2018. i guess the big a isn't coming for a couple more years, at least.. then it was really stressed that all good dubs must always be prepared to "witness" by carrying jay double you, dot org calling cards, and of course wear your id card for the convention at all times, and all places.. next was the strong statement that the purpose of the carts/trolleys is not to place literature, it is to direct people of the public to "our" web site!
'Next was the strong statement that the purpose of the carts/trolleys is NOT to place literature, it is to direct people of the public to "our" web site! '
Probably said because very little literature is placed from these carts, so the next best thing is let the societies website have a go at them instead
hello there.. i just ordered the book coc, and will son recieve it.
does anyone have anything you want to mention about the book - perhaps some things you stumbled upon that might help me understand something more?
or maybe you have any thoughts you want to share regarding the book?
The whole book is amazing, and I too found it hard to put down. It is crammed with information about what goes on behind the scenes in New York.
The bigger picture, is that JWs make full use of any tragedy to promote the end of wickedness doctrine. They want to put across that the whole world is wicked and will soon be destroyed. Some people people are very vulnerable at times like this, and the Watchtower know that some will accept their doomsday message.
“there may be occasions when it would be good for us to reconsider a choice or decision.
it could be when the prevailing circumstances change.
jehovah altered his decision at times when circumstances changed.
Watchtower have proved over the years that they can change anything and the sheep will still follow. It is only thanks to the internet that they are now starting to go downhill fast
some of y'all may know why i am asking this, but i am curious about it.. sexting in the elders book says it's enough to warrant a jc but it's very loose at it... what's y'all opinion?
do elders care alot of it?
what if it's an old case?
In the UK it is a criminal offence to sext with anyone under the age of 16. Was clearly shown in a weekly drama we have called Eastenders where an 18 year old sent an explicit picture of himself to a girl who he did not realize was only14. He got a criminal record, and it was reported in the papers, so some people literally shunned him
on my way home from work today, i saw the modern day pioneers having a grand old time, relaxing in the sun.
two sprawled on one bench and the other two talking up a storm, with their iced cappuccino, just enjoying the day.
the two carts were a number of feet away.
I really think it is an exercise in making the jdubs enjoy their time in ''service'', rather than gaining lots more converts. They are desperate to hang on to those already in the org. Certainly can see why pioneering is more popular now when all they have to do is sit on a bench in the sunshine.
on http://avoidjw.org/2017-regional-convention/ you can find the talk outlines of the regional convention this year.. i looked into the final talks each day and found these releases to be announced:.
on saturday:.
new magazine-size book entitled "lessons you can learn from the bible".
Sir82 Haha that never stopped them over the last 140 years
with the a.r.c.,closing bethles,selling off k.h's.publisher numbers at best stagnating,court case's going against them.. i give a 3 out of 10.. karter.
Yeh I keep a track of the figures for Europe each year as I live in the UK. Here they grew by just 26 last year. That is just 0.02%. Its nearly 1 million hours spent for each additional publisher. lol

Far as I know it was the first time that they lost more members in the whole of Europe than they gained.
in the latest issue of double-speak, i'd like to highlight these two statements:.
page 3, par.
2 - "...how encouraging it is to know that jehovah’s faithful servants in the past felt free to express the same question that may loom in our minds, and they were not condemned for asking it!
Rainbow troll do you know where that picture of the woman and the empty fridge is? I mean which Watchtower? It is a shocking picture
