9/11: Acts of terrorism motivated by religion. Surely when those got out of hand the U.N. would have to step in and ban religion.

Didn't happen.

yes during this year's audio drama about jesus' death it was said from the platform that the media is going to be spreading lies about jehovah's witnesses and that we should pay no attention to them.

did they say this at your convention location?.

also during the drama about marriage it was obvious to me that brothers are not reaching out for privileges the way they used to.

Not only is the Candance Conti scandal making them look bad but I believe the show "Final Witness" features them in a poor light this week as well.

"we need to help that brother"

by TimeBandit in

at the last district convention i went to (2010) i was sitting in my seat during the lunch break.

i was listening to two brothers sitting together chatting in the row in front of me.

they were talking about brother 'so and so'.

My wife's brother had a roommate who stopped going to meetings. By all appearances they were friends. When he stopped attending though my wife's brother's response wasn't loving concern. It was, "Oh well. If he wants to die at Armageddon, that's his problem."

Good News to Make You Happified

by Farkel in

happified is a real watchtower word(tm), by the way!.

if you want to give the wts credit for anything, then at least give them credit for their remarkably simple solution to every ill suffered by mankind.. it is a "one size fits all" solution and might be part of the appeal the wts has attracting people who have a hard time with reason and common sense.. they won't specifically tell you what that solution is, though.

if they did, they would even get less converts than they get now, and currently they ain't gettin' many.

I'm bumping this thread up because it has stayed in my mind and made me laugh ever since I read it. So true! Brilliant. I don't want any newbies to miss this one.

Also during the drama about marriage it was obvious to me that brothers are not reaching out for privileges the way they used to. One of the main characters was derided as a "spiritual loser" and another was laughed at by the audience because he held very "little privileges" in the congregation. To me such references betrayed a real lack of love on the organization's part. The whole drama was sickening and had very little to do with the Bible.

I did my part though. I donated to the contribution box- a note that said, "Watchtower sued for $28 million! Your donations are helping to protect pedophiles." I also wrote the same thing in magic marker in a bathroom stall. Whoever had to go in there because nature called or just to clean it off the wall will have trouble forgetting what was written! Meany, meany, tinkle, parsley!
