baltar, Just do like most of the JWs... pop a few Xanax and then plaster on a smile like you love your dumbed-down grey NWT bible.

The Smoke and Mirrors of the Annual Meeting
by Billy the Ex-Bethelite inthe annual meeting seems to boil down to an opening talk about an "exciting new" bible museum and a closing talk about an "exciting new" new world translation.
sandwiched in between were the wt summary, a talk about indoctrinating the children fast/furious, and some "trip down memory lane.".
why would this "spiritual feast" seem to be anticlimactic?

I'm so grateful to those Internet-posting attendees for their reports. I got juicy details from this meeting without putting on pants.
After a rather stressful week, this has been a valuable reminder that I've made the right decision to get far away from WT.

Looking at the picture, I can only assume that when they said they designed these Bibles to be "sister proof" they were looking for covers that would coordinate with "modest attire", such as these manitee grey plus-size maxi dresses from Target:

Thanks for the Welcome Back, Oubliette. I'll have to disappear back into my "worldly" university studies in a couple of hours.
I just had to come back and hear about the nulite at the Annual Meeting this weekend!

The Annual Meeting seems to boil down to an opening talk about an "exciting new" Bible Museum and a closing talk about an "exciting New" New World Translation. Sandwiched in between were the WT summary, a talk about indoctrinating the children fast/furious, and some "trip down memory lane."
Why would this "spiritual feast" seem to be anticlimactic? For starters, Bibles have been out of stock for nearly a year and there was tons of expectation for something new with the Bibles at the district convention this summer. Not a peep was said at the DC. Rather hollow sounding rumors spread that WT was too busy printing Chinese Bibles to print English. Not believable. And why was it that they'd announced that Bibles would be available in new covers and trims just a year or so earlier... but then you couldn't order and get any of them. Now that more months have passed, how could they NOT release new Bibles at this Annual Meeting? Of course, it's required of JWs to treat their new grey Bibles as a delightful surprise. Frankly, it's like little Suzie being "excited" to get her Betsy Wetsy doll at Christmas... when it's been the #1 thing on her wishlist to Santa for the last 5 years. Now the JWs have to ignore the earlier promise of pretty colored covers and trims. You can get the NNWT in any color as long as it's grey.
And about the "Bible Museum" with all those historic copies they "miraculously" acquired? I just remembered something that made me unimpressed when I read about this talk. I'd visited the Switzerland branch about a decade ago and they had a display of lots of old Bibles and fragments of old texts with the "divine name." Wait. Didn't the Switzerland branch recently get closed and put up for sale? I suspect that their "exciting new" Bible Museum was simply pilfered from the Swiss. The talk was reworded to make it sound "new and exciting". This isn't anything new for WT to take some obscure experience of Andre back in the 70s and rework it in an article to sound like it happened last week. But they have to come up with something to fill 2-1/2 hours, right?
Of course, what's always interesting is what they DON'T say. As I began to wake up to TTATT, I found that for all that WT said, it was a lot of stuff trying to cover up what they didn't want to have questioned. Subjects that they avoided that would have been important at this Annual Meeting: What has happened in the past year to prove that we're getting closer to the end? Any indications that Babylon the Great is on the verge of destruction? Any indicators of the identity of the King of the North? Next year is 100 years from 1914, shall we have an anniversary party? Any "new light" that child molestation is a crime that should be reported to the police ASAP?

"I was hoping for a Steve Jobs "one last thing..." at the very end."
You mean something like, "One last thing... Armageddon will occur within the next 8 months, so there was no point bothering with new Bibles of a construction project at Warwick!"?

The message of this meeting clearly wasn't about the urgency of the end or anything about the century that has passed since 1914. They resorted to smoke and mirrors with distractions of a "Whoop-dee-doo Bible Museum at WT Hindquarters" and a drab "new" Bible in "21st Century English".

Another Lie - Watchtower December 2013
by Listener ini just thought i would have another look at the december 2013 watchtower in light of the agm tommorrow.
slimboyfat had pointed out that even though there is a whole study article on the memorial, there is not one mention of the 144,000 (by number) and it may become new light that the number is no longer literal.. anway i came across this bold outright lie.
page 22 para 4.
