16'Jehovah's Kingdom' convention banner
by undercover inmaking the rounds on facebook is a snapshot of some jws holding a huge banner from the upper deck at a convention.
it says, "jehovah's kingdom" and underneath a crudely drawn download 'bar' with the number 99% on the right side, as if to say in computer lingo, jah's day is almost here.
behind are other dubs holding up smaller placards, but i can't remember what they said.. is this a wt sanctioned or approved action?

by AnnOMaly inthe contrived and unrealistic conversation that one of jehovahs witnesses imagined having with a neighbor in the october 2014 watchtower will not be reproduced here.
instead let us imagine another conversation another witness named andre (ahem, sorry) cameron has at the home of another man who is also named jon.keep searching for a suckercameron: jon, ive really enjoyed the regular discussions weve been having about the bible.
* the last time we spoke, you raised a question about gods kingdom.

Hmmm...wrote a comment but it dissappeared. Operator error I'm sure.
Meant to say, IMHO, I think this is targeted at JWs not "Jon neighbor." A weak attempt to make JWs think a laughable doctrine is somehow relevant and "honest hearted"TM individuals are really interested in what JWs have to say. Smoke and mirrors.
From what I hear from the congos is FS is done merely to obey and be part of the club. Creative ways are explored to keep up their hours. (Smoke and mirrors.) I think HQ knows D2D is unproductive and there has been no REAL emphasis on studies. They are just not there. In my urban location, that is the story anyway. x

Testimony card returns
by sir82 inold timers, or careful readers of the proclaimers book, are familiar with the "testimony card" used in the early days of rutherford-era door to door witnessing.
the jw would traipse up to a house, knock, hand the card over to the householder, and wait while he read it.. well, it seems that "everything old is new again".
here is an excerpt from a recent boe letter:.

Interesting. Makes sense really. Mildly surprised they are not counting the placement.

Hi exwhyzee! I get your opening post. Every once in awhile, usually when I've had interactions with JW, I have an emotional reaction...a surge of thoughts all jumbly. I don't want that life with its mindless obedience strings...yet it was my life and have a fond memories of good/fun times. My logical mind loves every single bit of being out, never ever would even consider returning. Yet, there is an emotional tie to people, good times, being a part of "something." Then of course I resent the hard choices we and they have to make because of the rules of the WTBS. Then I get a headache. Sigh.
Our minds, mine anyway, sometimes wants to relax a bit with idea of the shiny happy people. Then you remember the comfort and support of a group of exJW's...people who made the hard choices, followed their conscience, left what was comfortable and familiar...freedom shines off their faces.
It was a pleasure meeting you and your family. I never did get to hear your story...next time for sure right? What a great bunch of people at the fest! I wanted to sit a talk with each one for hours.

The elders are 'letting me fade'
by TableForOne ini attended my last meeting in january 2014, having realised that i'd been lied to for 20+ years (i'm now 43 y/o).
rumours spread of my 'apostasy'.. in may, cobe contacted me inviting me to a private meeting with elders at the kh.
(no mention of the meeting being a jc).

Well done. Being in control is the key. When the bros discern no opportunity of discussion, no invitation for their shepherding (barf), it leaves them speechless, and trying to figure out their next move.
Good luck!

So much the same as notes from my mom. They made me so sad to read, almost sick.
As 3rdgen said, it ain't over...there is still a chance. You never know.
