@Magnum You were well liked. I apologize. Alright then. Why you are hating on this “party’? The more they do this......the less harm they will cause. The Religion is not going anywhere so MORE fun in the Kingdom Hall = Less of a Cult. Regardless of if some of them were parroting along. They STILL were there and didn't leave. I know a few “self righteous” Witnesses that would have left and made a fuss about this. Most Witnesses may not know how to have fun but with a less strict religion they can learn.

@Magnum I understood what you said. It surely wouldn't be in the best interest for those stuck in and those gullible to “the Truth” on the outside. That's if.....they would focus solely on the preaching work. “ I don't want JWs to be more like more popular religions; I want them to use what brains they have and think and be reasonable. I want them to see TTATT.” They wouldn't have a religion then, if that was the case. The chances of that happening are way lower than them evolving into a more tolerant religion.
As for what's “corny” or “embarassing” in that vid. That's subjective. It wasn't fun for you but looks like they were enjoying themselves. I wouldn't want to be there regardless but it would be a whole lot more fun than sitting in a seat for hours taking in “spiritual food”. A good thing you are out Magnum. I'm sure you were that no nonsense brother, who the laid back, and easy going witnesses tried to avoid.

@Magnum LOL You're saying that the Witnesses should be more serious and focusing more on the preaching work. Why? We all know it's bullshit and the last thing we want is more people to join the cult. You should be “happy" that they are attempting to go outside the box, that of which they've been closed in for so long. This “party” at the Kingdom Hall may be a step for more freedom for the Witnesses stuck in. ExJWs should want this to happen and for the JW to be MORE like other mainstream religions. Maybe, just MAYBE.....this will mean change on some of their hardcore policies that have torn many families apart. Just my 2 cent

jw.org getting out of hand
by Gorbatchov init seems the watchtower staff have made a runaway train with the introduction of the mark jw.org.. the combination of using a gadget driven platform and the fact that the common jw is low educated and easely influenced.
by new occurrings in their religion makes the situation getting out of hand.. proof: gb members wearing jw.org buttons during their speech, gifts with jw.org are given away, umbrellas with the jw.org are available.
jw.org is more important then god, his son and the gospel.. it's the gadget and the jw.org mark that counts.. i am so happy my grandparents are not confronted with these idiots.. it's a runaway train heading to the end of the track.. gorby .

The only problem with using the IPads heavily in the meetings, is having a possible malfunction. Deep shit for the poor brother/sister on stage with a frozen IPad and no backup source of material. LOL

If it is true that he is gay and has been DFd, then can your baptism really be legitimate? How would Jehovah see it?
Wish that was the case. Would nullify my dip into disaster😠

For those who feel that their life has been stolen
by stillin inyou maintained a level of personal decency and integrity that you almost certainly would not have had if you had chosen another direction.. sure, you would have had some very "colorful" friends and experiences if you had gone another way, but you still chose the more "edgy" people in the congregation as your friends and you still enjoyed yourself, even if there were a lot of phony constraints.. you looked for ways to be of value to others.
don't stop doing that!.
you kept the darker side of your personality in check.

I feel for you Magnum. I was so angry after reading your post, I laughed in pain. I'm still young but I feel the same way. Born in and having some good years taken away from me by that cult. My years in may be small in comparison to yours but it stings the same. I TRY to not think about that cult day to day, but it's hard when you're constantly reminded of it. When you come across people in convos about their life and think of yours. The experiences they had growing up with their friends from school. Just thinking of my experience in high school is just a empty blur. I had chances to connect with so many people but passed it up because of the WT rules. I was SO scared of the "world". I kick myself(figuratively) everyday because of this. The journey to rebuilding your life after the WT is so tough.

@DATA-DOG I agree with most of what you stated. Defenseless people are targeted the most. There should be more self awareness to potential threats. There has been a few cases of people going RIGHT in a Police Station and opening fire. Recently in California too. http://m.nydailynews.com/news/national/lapd-officer-wounded-gunman-opens-fire-police-station-cops-article-1.1749159
