Because it makes them very uncomfortable because it doesn't make any sense.

3rd Day Convention Observations
by NiceDream ini was having trouble paying attention, as there weren't enough seats, so i was sitting behind the curtain so i couldn't see the speaker.
i kept thinking about the wizard of oz "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
" anywho...the attendants has blocked off some of the balcony seating because the sound apparently wasn't great.

I'd love to go to an Apostafest sometime. I don't think the one in Cedar Point will work for me. Tennessee would be much more doable. Let me know if you have another one.

DC Talk on Generaton
by Cynisister inas i will not be in attendance for this year's district convention, i would love to know exactly what the talk on the new meaning of "generation" actually states.
i visited my recently widowed mother (who found the "truth" when i was a toddler, and therefore i was raised in the religion - quit it totally 3 years ago) and had a lively discussion on the implications of this "new light".
she seemed really disturbed about all the "new anointed" ones coming out of nowhere.

Nicedream, He was probably having an "oh my God!" moment right on the platform.

Parents who can't see the truth about their kids
by MMXIV injust discovered that my nephew, whose parents are both dubs is the school bully.
he was sent home for beating a kid up, he was also caught trying to steel a bike from a boy half his size.
apparently it's because his teachers are "useless" and "he has to bully in case he becomes a victim".

The Department of Family and Children's Services in your County would provide education, but a report has to be made.

The kid has many, many strikes against him. Perhaps Child Protective Services should be notified. And I can remember certain teachings of the JWs not making any sense to me even at the age of 7. For example the teaching that all who were not JWs were going to die at Armageddon including all our neighbors, my teacher, my non-JW grandparents. You think that wasn't upsetting?

2010 District Convention - Some Thoughts on the Sunday Afternoon Session
by Olin Moyles Ghost inout of a sense of morbid curiosity, i recently attended the sunday afternoon session of the district convention.
the session consisted of a drama and the infamous "remain in the secret place of the most high" talk.
overall, i got a sense that the wts is in damage control mode because the end hasn't come yet.

I agree with Tammy. Low self-esteem. Anger. Frustration with the realization that his religious teachings are all lies. And realizing that his parents have been lying to him all his life.
He my very well be very intelligent with tons of potential for doing good. These problems are emotional.
Being a JW and being excluded from many of his peers' activities could absolutely contribute to this behavior.

What Unusual Watchtower Suggestions Do You Recall?
by laverite intoday, i was on yahoo and clicked on link for "unusual ways" to stay cool this summer.
among the suggestions are putting your sheets in the freezer for one to two hours before bedtime and using an organic cotton pillow (is an organic cotton pillow cooler than 100% cotton regular pillow?

I agree. But I was thinking more of the teenage children of this man you were talking to. Can you imagine how they were treated at school with their dirty, greasy hair? Horrors! I'm quite sure they do not have normal lives even today!!!!!

How did you personally endure the torture during the DC?
by whatistruth inmy assembly was a couple of weeks ago and lets just say the only way i could possibly get through that b.s was by having some "funny stuff" before the sessions, then to my car at lunch.
pretty much slept the days away.
my wife would constintaly ask me what was wrong with me, i said i was feeling really sick.
