Why is this topic part of the convention program?
Is it an actual jw discussion?
Don't understand the reason for it.

many of us here have commented on the deceitful friday afternoon video shown at the 2017 rc that discussed 1975.. the video attempted to shift the blame onto congregation members for the fiasco saying, "some were looking to a certain date as signifying the end of this old system of things.".
this same video mentions how, “a few even went so far as selling their homes and quitting their jobs.”.
we all know that the wt leadership created this teaching and endorsed it right up to its abject failure.. now below is the concluding talk given on sunday at the rc.

had the misfortune of stopping by the "regional" convention yesterday.
i promised my daughter i would come to sunday afternoon so she wouldnt have to ride home with her mother.... holy crap it was weird!
im sure all of this has been covered on the forum but to actually see it.... just wow.
It is totaly changed.
Congregation meetings also.
I attend 2 or 3 times a year. Last time I tried to find the song in the songbook, could not find it. Again a different book. It's a continue fast changing format.

watchtower october 2017, par 11, page 28 - "very soon the political powers of satan’s world will form a coalition that is bent on the destruction of god’s people.
's] have anything to fear?
not at all!........at that critical moment during the great tribulation, the angelic soldiers of jehovah of armies will come together to protect god’s people..."[j.w.'s].
That's why we proudly build a new world headquarter in Warwick, bought an own fiber Telecom company, participate in OCSE, plan a new UK headoffice and are happy when president Putin gives an order to a JW family.

i've received the following news from a reliable and trusted source: .
the demise of printing literature in the u.k. is being brought forward by one year - to march 2018. graphic design and printing support will go too.
large numbers of "disposable" bethelites will now have to make their own way in the world, when their "mother" abandons them.
They made a swap from publishing house to real estate investor. The rank-and-file Joe and Ann Publisher have no clue about it.
That's what you call a sect.

i'm at home and hear knock on door , i sneak and look i see two men and recognise one voice and go back into lonunge and ask wife ( who is inactive believer) does she want to speak to elders ,she says no ,then literally 3 minutes has pasted another knock the 3 minutes seemed like an eternity.
so brave heart me think fuck it i'll answer ,i invite them in for coffee, i recognise one older man he is a unique elder who i genuinely was fond of when i was in his name is andrew ,the other guy i didn't recognise we will call harry ( not real name australia doesn't have that many cos with his same name).
so i think to myself i will tread lightly and not cause to much of a fuss for the wife's sake, but my personality is very the opposite of treading lightly ,as you read my threads you will realise i'm not timid.
Last year we got a knock knock on the front door. I did not open.
Great story, you have guts.

i just updated my website, any feedback is welcome!.

It seems China and North Korean propaganda.
another article analyzing how bad poor jw's have it when it comes to opposition from family.
few interesting quotes:.
parr 2:.
Here in Holland I did not hear about sanctions.
See even lesbian and gay former jw children in parents and other jw family list.
So, there is a lot of virtual contact between former and current jw's.

When I see JW facebook profiles I notice many DA children and family in the contact list. So yes, it is an issue.
A positive issue.

one thing that i questioned years ago was the release of bible reading so you could listen.
then when we finally got a tape it was in a thick german accent.
so much for getting the meaning of it..
What's wrong with Dutch? Germans speak German. The Dutch speak Dutch.
