steve2: is there some way this can be presented so that it is crystal clear what was actually in the demonstrations and what was added?
i guess some will think it should be obvious - but this is where misunderstandings arise because we end up wrongly attributing something to jw organization that was never said.. circuit assembly theme: maintain love for jehovah!.
note to speaker: warmly encourage young ones to prove their friendship with jehovah by observing his commandments and defending his standards.
No nic homosexuals will die at the big A not because we hate them but because their gay, whats so hard to understand about that ? we love these people we just hate what they practice and its what they practice, what God will kill .
Get it ?
The mind boggles with such reasoning.

this looks interesting!!
a modern take on orwell's classic 1984.. we all have found the comparison of orwell's book to witness life to be fascinating, so this could be a great play to see!.
Even the "old" movie had two different endings if I remember correctly.
The 1984 version with Edmond O-Brien ,Michael Redgrave ,Jan Sterling and Donald Pleasance. 1956
Their have been a number of movies with alternate endings and this was one of them.
Often times though the book is always better than the movie .
A Free Public Event given by JW`s to the general public.
I was a JW from 1960_1993 , attended national and International Conventions along with Circuit Assemblys and Congregation invitations to public talks and NEVER was their any PUBLIC of any significance that ever attended any venue that I ever attended .
They were attended by JW`s and relatives of JW`s or JW`s from other areas not assigned to that particular venue.
NEVER was their any public of any significance that came along ( except maybe for one or two who came out of curiosity)
What are your observations about this fact.? Did you ever see great numbers of the general public ever to attend a JW meeting via an invitation ?
two ironys here... first of all the title "keep in expectation as jehovahs day draws near" - (this talk is from 2006!!
) i suppose 11 years isnt near enough.
second is that geoffrey jackson, of all people, is giving a talk that goes on and on about liars and how jehovah never lies.
This same talk has been regurgitated for about the last 50 years at least
someone recommended "the santa clarita diet" to me at work, and when i got home and watched the trailer, my wife and i both sat down and binged through the whole thing.... https://youtu.be/xjrnbogoauq.
thematically, the show is all about rebirth.
sprinkled throughout is the idea that when something changes in your life, you just have to be bold and run with it.
My wife and I saw the first episode and that was enough for us.But then again we're not into Zombie type shows

i started to realize it wasn't the truth over 2 years ago in late october/early november 2014. i don't know how exactly it happened.
i remember i had just heard about confirmation bias, and it hit me: i realized that i would be guilty of confirmation bias if i didn't look at the other side.
Wise advice from all of the above , however .
Live the life YOU want to live and not the life others want you to live.,you cant take back a wasted life to start again , you only live once.

i grew up in the org and never got baptised, however i was wondering recently about how much money my family and old friends are wasting in all that.
.
i remember of course never talking in amounts, that it was important to give from what you can not what you have etc but i admit i have no clue how much the average witness gives (say in % of their income).. i'm sure it varies greatly, i'd love to hear what you guys have to say..
Some Elders used to suggest 10% of your earnings as a good guide whenever anyone asked how much should we donate.
10% being the tithe the Israelites were required to give under the law.
I loved the scripture "Dont let your right hand know what your left hand is doing" so when I went to the meetings I put my money in my pocket on my left and I told my right hand not to worry about what my left hand was doing.
Somwhow or other most times I left the KH ,I had as much money as when I walked into the KH

Ok my bad if she is a pioneer she is baptised.I just cant get my head around how she is getting away with what she is doing when other R&F witnesses are hauled over the coals for far less infringements of the societys rules and regulations.?
out of morbid curiosity, i would like to here reduce the digits of the lifetimes stated in genesis chapter 5. it is clear that no human being has ever lived that long, and perhaps there is some numerological meaning to these numbers rather than literal history.
7 after he became the father of enosh, seth lived 807 years and had other sons and daughters.
10 after he became the father of kenan, enosh lived 815 years and had other sons and daughters.
This fascination with numbers in the Bible is not exclusive to Jehovahs Witnesses and I think just empathises how supersticious most believers in religion are.including JW`s.
The numbers 6, 7 ,10 ,12 ,40 ,666 , 12,000 ,144,000 and combinations of those numbers all figure prominently in scripture from the first book of the Bible to the last book of the Bible.
And what happened to the 7,000 years for a creative day that was JW doctrine in the 60`s-80`s ?
But its just supersticious nonsense that doesnt mean twat
on a ex-jw fb group this post went up in december.
been meaning to copy and paste it on here.
the op on fb said they were happy for it to be shared:.
Lets keep this post highlighted for the next couple of months so that the more people who are exposed to it the more chance some people will come forward and participate in this BBC program ,its a great opportunity to get the message out their that nothing really has changed since 2002 and more victims just keep getting abused .
