2018 Memorial and Special Talk Speculation

by SplaneThisToMe in

so we all know that the special talk titled "who really is jesus christ?

" will be given before the memorial next year which is very new.

also new this year is that the special talk will be prerecorded and given by a branch committee member rather than a brother from the local congregation.

Convention “Highlights” - bwhahaha!

taking a walk down memory lane at those looooonnnnngg, tedious conventions... .

(boy, they weren’t kidding when they spoke about being long-suffering and having endurance!).

but what were some of your convention highlights, or lowlights, from back in the day?.

Gorbatchov

When G. was a litle boy, he read a lot about the nazi mass conventions and using mass media. So I always had a fear for the DC and it's applaus machinery.

Always knew that this was not right and feeled uncomfortable with it.

The music etc I did not like it.

i'm an active elder, cobe, just got home from the meeting where i handled the treasures part and concluded by announcing a friend of mine has been d/f,.....blah blah blah...and over the last year have woken up.

i simply cannot spill my guts to my wife and children as it would be family suicide.

i have zero desire to bash, spread my feelings, or become an "apostate".

BJ,

I remember myself in the same situation. Every DNA string in my body was hurt. On the platform I looked into the eyes of the congo.

Best feeling was my last part I did on the platform. I knew it would be my last and they didn't. It set me free and never walked better to my chair with the feeling "this was it".

Faded away in 7 years.

Fasten Your Seatbelts - The Crazy Has Started (Also, bring the Koolaid)

by berrygerry in

from facebook:just saw my jw mother after not seeing her for more than 2 years.

when i do see her, it is brief, she never asks about my life, doesn't ask about my 4 children her grandchildren, doesn't ask about my grandchildren...her great grandchildren, she doesn't ask about my other 2 brothers that she is also alienated from, she doesn't ask about my brothers family.

she doesn't talk about the jw/org either.

The 3 days supply was mentioned recent to me during a family meal. I answered loud "that reminds me of 1975, when they said Armageddon was coming. My parent had bought rice in a volume for years and all what came were mouse".

Everybody quiet... I was the party crasher

Family events (getting old)

by Jayk in

the feeling of being disconnected from my family for so long makes me feel old.

i think it's because the people i saw all the time when i was younger i don't see to often and you really notice that change in little bits but over time it really shows.

the last time alot of witness friends i was 16, then i show up at a family event and i'm 28. that's life and i do get it but it really makes me feel old..

Gorbatchov

Time tends to fly, anyway. Make the best of it.

I hear many witness say that they are getting old.

Enjoy every day I would say.

...and so the shunning begins

by Phoebe in

friends

i am now officially 'inactive' so am no longer chased by an elder a for a report.

the congregation i belonged to never had much time for me anyway, i said once i could drop down dead in the k.hall and no one would notice.

so i never expected anyone to be particularly bothered that i wasn't there and they aren't.

Gorbatchov

I wish you all the best. So it goes, this are de side effects. Try to find other friends!

November 2017 JW broadcasting HYPOCRISY!

by stuckinarut2 in

ok...so i am on a bit of a temper tantrum rant here...but if anyone has (endured) watched this month's broadcast, you will know what i mean!.

i have only watched 20 mins so far, and the hypocrisy is mind blowing.

they dare to go on about how thoroughly they research the material produced, so that errors are prevented etc.. for instance, the actually say how they ensure that a scientist is not misquoted, or that an "evolutionist" is not inaccurately quoted to make it seem like his comments are different to his intentions.

Gorbatchov

Propaganda...
