you all pretty much know my story so i won't repeat it but.... to say i'm being hounded by my local congregation is an understatement.
today the cobe finally found us in.
well, i refused to answer the door but my husband did.
The Bethel reprentative said at our convention that the organization is the most transparant and open organization about child abuse 🤔
And then said "reporters praise our organization for how we protect our children, and call it unique".
I exploded on my chair and said loud to my wife "they are crooks".

well.....they showed that shunning video again.
you know...the one where goldilocks gets disfellowshipped- and the parents look across the hall at her with disdain.....yeah that video.. i was interested to see what kind of answers would be given during the discussion after the video and some of the reactions.
everyone sat there gormlessly staring at the video.
This is why I avoid JW meetings at all.
I have no sympathy for this religion. Zero percent.
Sect.

does anybody have any word on the 2018 annual meeting?
i assume something new will be rolled out, since they are having all the congregations do special weekend streaming.. my guess is that there will be some major "new light" concerning the memorial, partaking, anointed, etc.
i would guess that they will say all baptized believers should partake.
Nothing new.

i don't have time to look up a post that showed that the society has a circuit leasing site...........so here we go.

i looked up circuit leasing in my program "copernic" (ah what a wonderful thing) and i came up with a page that shows that not only are they in grand rapids, mi but they are also in 4 other states.

Corporate site of circuit leasing and kingdom support services under the name of Hudson Valley.
What I see is that everything that csn be sold, will be sold.
Money makers.

first, a word about the watchtower’s financial position: nobody (outside the watchtower organization) knows.
the wtbs is not required to disclose its finances, and doesn’t.
we can speculate, but that is all we are doing.
My opinion is that with the current transformation with all the use of media like movied, video and tablets, and all the choir, gospel, country and reli pop music, the wts is searching for an adjusted place in the religion landscape.

april 13, 2017 to all bodies of elders in britain re: kingdom hall information.
revision adds a paragraph about security:.
14. security: all openings should be secured before leaving the building.
Legal... volunteers without rights.

the latest featured video from everybodys favorite child indoctrination cult: see yourself in paradise.

few problems here that the little kids wont have figured out:.
Sparlock? Did he made it?? 😁
G.
the organization transforms quickly into a multimedia self-help feel good religion.
i am very allergic to it.
can not hide it either.
You are right: I watched the old jw's at the convention and they were quit and down.
G.
gorby went for family reasons today, sunday, to the convention in switerbant, netherlands.. from the start it was clear, a fully media event.
country, gospel and choir songs combined with socio emotional videos for tear teasing.
some sisters danced with their hips.
That's what I think also? Wy no internal opposition?
