my uber cousin and wife are going back to wallkill this weekend for the annual meeting since they have a daughter and son in law in the inner sanctum so they are always invited.

cousin said it was going to be broadcast from patterson to wallkill.

anyone hear anything else about subject matter etc?.

I believe its the Gilead graduation this weekend, not the annual meeting.

I wonder what this is all about.... has Greg lost his mind? His videos have changed lately, they used to be daily texts from the Bible but now there has been videos about hidden symbols in Hollywood movies. And now this?

a young 14 year old girl was disfellowshipped in my former congregation last week

by alexandre in

a baptized girl from my former cong.

was expelled out because she participated in more than one porn videos with classmates in the school and theses videos became public.

she is 14 years old and grew up as witnesses.but anybody knows she had many boyfriends and she-, but that thing was unbelievable!

""Porn video" and "14 years old" adds up to "criminal activity".
The 14 year old is the victim of a crime - whoever was making those videos ought to go to prison for a long, long time."

The problem is that that this whoever might well have been some of her 14-year-old friends or even herself. Often teenagers make these videos or take pictures when they are drunk and therefore do stupid things; they regret what they did afterwards but it's too late then and the material is all over the net if they sent them to their friends. This phenomena is such a mess caused by the entertainment industry which is all about sex sex sex and pop stars who act like porn stars and are awful role models to teenagers.

A good point j dubb, prisons would be full of teenagers who do this.

With all the webcams and smartphones it is so easy to make one stupid mistake when you are young and then it's all over the net and stays there forever. It's the rotten, dark side of the internet. She needs help and support, not shunning. Some teenagers have killed themselves because something like this. Don't the elders know that??

according to this list there are 29 helpers at the moment: https://jwleaks.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/jehovahs-witnesses-governing-body-committees.jpg.

i wonder how many of these are "anointed"?

all the current seven gb members were helpers first and then appointed to be gb members.

So if some of the current helpers are anointed, why don't they appoint them? At least Malenfant is anointed according to this forum. Would be interesting to know whether there are others than him. Does anyone know?

Anointed JW Today And Tianamen Square

first, message received, i get it.

these guys are way out there and full of themselves.

Just read this from their site:

First, we can tell you that of the over 11 million sons we know about (and rapidly growing) who have taken up the ‘plain and open teachings of Jesus’ in the past 2-1/2 years, only about 1.8 million are from the Jehovah’s Witness community. Our reports about Elders and other Overseers who have stepped down are accurate. But it is possible that you are not associated with congregations where this is occurring, or the congregations are not publishing the true reasons why these men are stepping down. We can tell you that the shift in the way the organization is dealing with Circuit and District Overseers is a direct result of the dwindling numbers of these men who no longer agree to follow the unsound directives of ‘the Slave.’

Do they really think that somebody believes in this? 1.8 million Jws?!

2014 MEMORIAL ATTENDANCES FOR REST OF THE WORLD

by steve2 in

the october kingdom ministry for the united states reported the 2014 memorial attendances for the us branch office that has subsequently been well discussed in a separate thread.

in that thread, a poster asserted that in some parts of europe the attendance had been higher than last year - but to date no source evidence has been provided.. so, have memorial attendances for other parts of the world been reported in any of the publications such as kingdom ministryyet?.

if so, could you direct me to the source(s).

Nostromo

There were 1,762,129 Memorial tracts placed in the above-mentioned four countries last spring. And 4,773 aux. pioneers altogether in these countries in March. Huge numbers - and yet the attendance stays pretty much the same year after year.
