OneDay,
Very many thanks; my wife can't make the Convention this year so she will enjoy it!
Any idea where it was held?
alright.
so i got a sendspace and uploaded the whole thing except for the songs and morning music.. the link to all the mp3's is here!
for some reason it starts with the last talk first but they're all numbered and titled according to the convention so it should'nt be too hard i hope.. do with them what you please, upload them to youtube, send them to friends & family, or just see how far you can stomach some of the "fine spiritual food that the faithful and discreet slave has prepared for us this year".. some key talks you might wanna listen to are 12 symposium: the truth sets us free, 16 believe inspired truth, not inspired error, 20 symposium: reject what is false!
OneDay,

we forgot to pick-up our lapel cards for the convention coming this week-end.
does anyone have a scan of the lapel card so we can print a couple for us to use?
thanks,.

not sure how to show the link properly..
i googled it and i cannot find the answer to my question.
i have also looked at my phone to find the password feature to secure my phone.
help!.
not sure if i spelled the word right, but:.
as some of you probably know i'm no longer active and have stopped attending etc...etc.... if one is disfellowshipped for whatever reason, including not agreeing with wtb doctrine...does the wtbs consider you worthy of death come armageddon?
i saw the trial transcript and that's what they believed in the 50's...anyone have any recent quote from their publications explaining how they see a disfellowshipped person?.
Disfellowshipping means you have probably annoyed the elders in your congregation.
If you discover any of their little secrets and you let them know you will be on your way out!
I feel very proud that I was disfellowshipped a year ago. It took up valuable time of 12 elders to do it!
I am now A "do not call".
one the how many exbethelites thread it was mentioned that some think one either leaves down the path towards apostasy or as a 100% true believer.
i'm curious what experiences did you face at bethel that woke you up (or started to at least)?.
.
in a separate thread, there's been intense discussion about how the gb is still seeking to tighten its grip on the rank and file.
the latest evidence is the january 2013 watchtower which rolls out hugely predictable statements about not doing anything to upset one's (jw) family by, for example, being in email contact with a disfellowshipped witness.
it's hard to stifle the yawns.
just for background, i da'd 12 years ago and i'm now an atheist/agnostic.. i normally avoid answering to the jws (i can usually tell it's them because i hear two sets of incredibly moving footsteps coming up the stairs to my flat) or they do a quick "magazine presentation" and then they're off.
on one occasion a few weeks ago i answered and the guy seemed up for a discussion.
i said i was an atheist, a lengthy discussion ensued and he "placed" a creation /evolution leaflet with me.. i was expecting a call and, after avoiding them a few times, i finally answered.
Congratulations - I am a 'Do NOT Call'.
They walk along the road and stop at the bottom of my drive in - consult a bit of paper and walk on! It is so peaceful being dis-fellowshipped.
"furthermore, blood does not settle into four primary components.
this only occurs after being put through a centrifuge with additives.
from: http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/blood-transfusions.php.
Probably - heparin, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and sodium citrate - as these are added to blood after being extracted from a person and before testing.
Me, on the 23rd; WHY? Are you giving pressies this year?
