Hope the baptism number is very low today. Many will be JW kids, having no clue to their future reality, serving only a manmade organization out for free labor and money. Will be taught to pay and obey.

Many Germany JWs during WWII found great disappointment how the Watchtower didn't help them in any way while in concentration camps. The Watchtower only degraded many of those that came out of the camps and how many left the 'truth' and became 'materialistic.' I don't expect Russian JWs to get that same treatment from their government now-a-days. However, they'll find themselves quite on their own. The GB sure aren't going to help them. The GB are of the least empathic people on earth.

"The Bunker" WT Conventions 2016 (Gag Me)
by Poztate inin the very near future the gang will be down in a bunker,cellar awaiting the police,military to break in and take them away to camps or executions .
(paranoid much) this is the foretold "prophecy" of the governments turning on religion and saving them for last.since the couple portrayed as simplifying their life by getting rid of a lot of material things is shown to be (about) the same age in the bunker we know it must be any minute now that it will happen.
i have been out for over 35 years and things seem to be getting more bizarre each year.. when did this doctrine really become main stream?

The new WT building committee project? Must pay up-front in full, of course. Will build according to necessary schedule, soon, very, very soon, imminently, no later than the 'last hour" -- god's schedule proven and true.

Someone anonymously tipped the elders?
by raven inso here an update on my current situation, in a nutshell i've been trying to quietly fade for the past 5 months.. well, my mom somehow found out that i am currently fading and that i live with my boyfriend (for more info on this check my previous posts) i told her yes i live with him and yes i no longer want to be a jw.
anyways, yesterday she met my boyfriend.. awkward.
and after lunch she pulled me aside to tell me that the po came up to her (he was part of my jc when i was reproved) he said to her "someone came to me and said - i cannot say who so they will remain anonymous- but that your daughter is living with someone" my mom confirmed and apparently he told her that i have one week to confess this, and if i don't my parents are obligated to tell them everything.. what kind of nonsense is that?

Something about a letterhead from an attorney, throws in a protocol, lawyer to lawyer process and privileges. Then that letter must be sent to the WT Legal Department. Slows things down. I know of a few cases where, though there wasn't a 'formal announcement' made from the platform, there still is under the current 'shunning' done. However, at least some JW parents then feel justified to speak with their grown child, since it wasn't 'announced formally.'
Timing is the key too, as once the announcement is read, then it's too late.
Best wishes!

Convention coming to a city near YOU...
by Sugar Shane in...and it's our duty to warn non-jws, or half awake jws about these events, as they start appearing in newspapers throughout the us, and abroad.
it almost comes out as a promotional ad for the jw convention.
the 'current events' editing staff of this paper likely has no idea what their promoting.
