I thought for sure he would be asked to leave Bethel, but it seems that might not be happening.
Not understanding,,how would he not be asked to leave Bethel? I don't see that 'they' would be allowed to stay after that.
just got back from florida where i spent the holidays with family.
about half are jdubs.. this year the prevalent atmosphere of superiority from the jw side of the family was totally toned down.
one of my cousins, a bethelite in upstate ny bethel along with his wife, found out that the wife was having an affair with a young bethelite "brother".
pulled this gem from the 2013 calendar.
well, at least you get to have outdoor meetings in the mountains of south america with touchans flying around.
no more windowless kingdom halls!
Yes, there are difficult things in life. Such is.
Yet, we must rejoice that another generation comes forth. We also rejoice that they will have opportunity of freedom of mind and heart and that we have a big part in opening that up for them. We have experienced mind control, but we go forth with every effort to expose it and ensure at least those in our family tree are free to grow without unnecessary 'shackles.'

will this be their "only" district convention?
says they're expecting 10,200, but plus 4 and "other" venue hookups.

Will this be their "only" district convention? there? Says they're expecting 10,200, but plus 4 and "other" venue hookups.
Anyone here going? They've closed their Branch, but does this create a distracting "hoop-la?"
They are boasting "largest ever," but their own records show JWs decreasing in New Zealand. How many will be foreign delegates?
2012 Report showed, 13,742 Av. Pubs. - a decrease from 2011.
Seems to be a methodology of the WTS to close a Branch and have a big "hoopla" international convention to distract, and boast of the big time blessing from Jehovah,,even though facts prove otherwise.
Makes me wonder where the next internationals will be,,and how it relates to possible closing of Branches in other countries?

quentin robburts has been on jw-net off and on for over 6 years and he is one of my oldest and most loyal friends.. his wife called me awhile ago and gave me the news.. quentin was rushed to the hospital's emergency room with acute renal failure and congestive heart failure.. .
this does not surprise me for the following reason.
his pain doctor put him on oxycontin last thursday.
Glad to hear Quentin is doing okay, still watchful but at least promising. Many best wishes to him and his smart wife that could see early on that the WTS did not have anything to offer her.
Some of us are at the "youth of old age." Bad health and tough circumstances can go into quick bends. I have found with heartbreak, that some didn't get through such a tough circumstance, so all such things sure bring up cautious alarms in me also.
I, along with a few others and you on this site, finally are able at least to be on a "first name" basis. I hope in time so many others will have the open freedom, moving on, and fearless also.
