how many times have you asked a jw who has attended a public talk how the talk was, only to be told it was so great!
yet they cannot remember the title nor any one single point except that the brother was "funny" or was good with illustratiions or some other vauge point?
and conventions weren't far off either.
An avid note taker in school, the habit carried over into my JW life. It served me well.
I still do so during the occasional meetings I attend. The busyness occupies me in a tedious but distracted manner, which allows me to rise above the cognitive dissonance blasting between my two ears . . .

it looks as if the gb are blundering around and really showing themselves up for the buffoons they are.
all the stupidity about tight trousers is laughable and if the general public were to see these selfmportant cult leaders blabbing this stuff then the last shred of their credibility would be destroyed.........perhaps.. the wbt$ seem to have dug themselves into a deep pit of no escape with their lies, new light(tm), paedophile protection and all the other nauseating peripherals they have.. we also suspect that the wbt$ have their spies here because they are either predictable or get ideas form forums like this.. so!
are you listening watchtower(r)?
“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance
once i loved the sound of your voice, butyour words have become meaningless.
as you venture into a state that leaves me,your companion, at a loss as to what to.
think, to do, if ever again i should link myheart and soul and body to one like you.. your honey words no longer melt in my earsthough, surely, they become fainter as you.
Thanks so much, Steve and Muddy Waters.
The bitter irony is that it was I who left behind my "companion" in order seek a god not known by my forebears and his promised "New World." I have such mixed emotions now about my preaching to kith and kin, those who listened to the "honey words" that assured that there was, truly, a land of milk and honey that awaited us all.
They seem content in their world of fantasy . . .
And me -- ?
Love,
CoCo

Once I loved the sound of your voice, but
your words have become meaningless
As you venture into a state that leaves me,
your companion, at a loss as to what to
Think, to do, if ever again I should link my
heart and soul and body to one like you.
Your honey words no longer melt in my ears
though, surely, they become fainter as you
Move toward a land that means a life and
hope beyond what I could ever give you.
Go then, seek your New World and a god
whose grip on you eclipses my paltry love.
did you see the post on reddit?
unconfirmed naturally and just a rumour but at at one assembly this week it was announced that the 6 members of the gb send their love.. .
there are 7 members of the gb.. .
Well, the rumor's going around here also from sources outside our circle . . .

I prefer my tautologies to be as taut as possible, but that's not taught in school . . .

it has been a few months since i hear this from an elder.
he said that the c/o told them this new requirement.. "men that wanna be an elder or ministerial servant has to go out to field service on sundays.
if there is an elder or ministerial servant that is not going out to field service on sunday can lose the priviledge".
The Lord "told" Joseph Rutherford that publishers should put in 60 hours a month field service time. Number of back calls, placements, etc. were likewise stipulated by the Lord . . .
So I read in his own words in a very old WT.

so is it possible to understand a reason and not respect it?
shouldn't understanding lead to a respect of the reasons and actions?.
or can you respect the reasons and actions without understanding them?.
