  Special Talks now via video

  by AverageJoe1 in

  tired of listening to your local elders giving the "special" talk ever year after the memorial?

  well don't worry, as of next year we will be spicing things up for your enjoyment.. not only will we be having the talk before the memorial (i know, wild huh), but we will be treating you to the talk via video starring our famous speakers from bethel so you can see how a talk should be given (after all bethel does boast the best speakers in any country, right?!).

  here's a copy of the text from our latest letter as i'm sure that with so much excitement you won't believe it at first!.

  i have seen a few comments about this week's meeting.. was there actually a part that specified an actual per-publisher amount that should be donated regularly?.

  can this be confirmed please?.

  i truly cant believe just how brazen the society seems to be getting - and how desperate they are!.

  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.

  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".

  Be loyal when a relative is disfellowshipped

  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.

  2018 Annual Meeting

  by EyesOpenHeartBroken in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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.

  Thinking about the end of the Watchtower

  by JeffT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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.
