many of us here have commented on the deceitful friday afternoon video shown at the 2017 rc that discussed 1975.. the video attempted to shift the blame onto congregation members for the fiasco saying, "some were looking to a certain date as signifying the end of this old system of things.".
this same video mentions how, “a few even went so far as selling their homes and quitting their jobs.”.
we all know that the wt leadership created this teaching and endorsed it right up to its abject failure.. now below is the concluding talk given on sunday at the rc.
"They were regarded as truthfully "spiritual models" on how a true JW should act in times "like this". I also recall CO/DC interviewing these "spiritual" models on assemblies, and encourage all others to follow theirs example. I wonder where these people are today?"-Bugbear
My entire family had been interviewed many times at assemblies as a 'model' spiritual family pre-1975 fiasco. Today all but one are inactive! I hope that answers part of your question, Bugbear.
i posted this thread sometime last year but thought i would revive it due to the new ones on the board, and to change things up a bit.
my favorite?
bro murikami, from hawaii, very humble, kind bro.
"Ray Harriman was our CO"..........DocBob. Yeah Ray was quite a 'character'. He and I and my girlfriend sat up late a few times and watched Saturday Night Live. He really loved TV for some reason. He tried to strong arm me into pioneering and I would have none of it. After that, he barely spoke to me. My mother used to call him 'Happy Harry' to his face because he acted like such a buffoon lots of times. Under that 'happy go lucky' exterior, he was a real company man.
isnt nice to see the governing body being so humble, meek and not seeking their own importance?.

As an ex-Bethelite, I call bull$hit on this photo of Tight Pants Tony. If he really was involved in assigned 'dish duty', like we all were, he would not be dressed as he is. I've done my share of assigned 'dish duty' in my time and only an IDIOT would wear meeting clothes to do this job. It is a hot, dirty and messy assignment!

tell me me more about your just & loving god..
Actually, Lot was trying to show Jehovah his loyalty and devotion to righteous principles. By offering his daughters to the homosexual men he became the first practitioner of "GAY CONVERSION THERAPY".
i'm in the middle of dissecting the june 2017 jw broadcasting video.. in the first minute, they summarize a story about a guy who apparently was a one-time bad ass (showed a picture of him with a beard while posing on a chopper).
then, they show him shaving at the exact same moment the narrator is saying how he regained "a clean conscience".. this no-beard obsession by the jws is beyond nuts.. .
GOVERNING WEASELS ...........................AVERAGE JOE WITNESS
did anyone notice the blatant stereotyping in the ' remember the wife of lot' video?.
the only thing missing with the oriental family was a pony tailed servant named 'hopsing' and that they all go off to work at the family laundry.. the mexican family ate tacos, refried beans, and hotsauce ('not there is anything wrong with hotsauce'....,sienfeld) at every meal, and of course the dad was a landscaper.
wtf!?!?
I can't wait for next years video drama:
Remember Job - "The Greatest of the Orientals!"
i saw:.

The death of Nathan H. Knorr on June 8, 1977
The death of Frederick W. Franz on December 22, 1992
Not that I witnessed their deaths directly, but that I lived during the time that these 2 men perpetuated the lie of 1975 and that they lived long enough to see their false prophecy fail! No wonder Knorr cried his eyes out during the last annual meeting he attended.(That I did witness.)
had the misfortune of stopping by the "regional" convention yesterday.
i promised my daughter i would come to sunday afternoon so she wouldnt have to ride home with her mother.... holy crap it was weird!
im sure all of this has been covered on the forum but to actually see it.... just wow.
'Friend of the court, my a$$! Those Jehovah ba$tards stole all my good ideas!'
i realize that prayer is a really personal thing, but representing a group in prayer has become so full of cliche's that i just want to vomit sometimes.
co week almost every prayer has the phrase "special week of activity" in it.. then there's "please look after the sick and afflicted.".
not so much anymore, "please bless this food and the hands that prepared it.".
Please bless us with a double portion of your holy spirit.............
Oooooppppppsssss......can't say that any more. Old light.
if only there was a way to hack in and play this.

This video 'parody' is more truthful than the one presented at this years convention. I was a 20 year old Bethelite in 1975 and remember the 1975 fiasco very well. Watching this creative video, 'She'd Never Grow Old', brought a tear my eyes!
I salute you, Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society. You will try and 'weasel' out of anything and present yourselves in the best possible light.
