a few things about this video:.
it's very nice that they managed to host a convention for the russian brothers and sisters, and that they all got fed.
For most of the western JW’s with kindergarten education this video is like eating cheesecake. This is the reason why many think they are the true religion.
Sanderson is giving a Tin Tin attitude example, irrisponsible for a religion leader.
Left the Russian’s JW’s allone when they most needed him. Jesus would stay. He did not call the Jeruzalem travel desk.

a friend of mine has contacts to a family with several circuit overseers and special pioneers.
they have good connections to bethel.. he told me that the latest rumor from bethel states that the cos should be abolished in their present form.
they have also recently begun to take cos back to bethel.. over the same channel i have already heard of the car fleet program and that the dos should be abolished.. has anyone else already heard of it?
anybody got any idea why the cover picture on the young people ask book was changed?
they removed the picture of the boy bottom right & superimposed a different head.
maybe the guy got dfd or maybe it was to change it to an asian guy rather than 2 caucasians?
Watchtower had different issues with illustrations of local witness. No white people in those magazines (i think that is not injust).
Kind of local marketing.
G.
if you went to it, (or go later this week) how was it handled?
just the video or some commentary too?.
i have heard of a few negative comments from some that attended - one jw even openly said to me "not very encouraging, all they go on about is money lately" and another (a serving elder, no less) said "someone's got to pay for all those lawsuits".
Maybe they have to transfer money to the Moralto family at december 31 each year.

nicolas king frequently sings with the watchtower chorus and had a supporting role in the dvd released at the 2014 convention.
(he's on the bottom row, second from the right.).
but he also is a jazz singer, traveling constantly performing at concerts, casinos, charity events, even a brief appearance on the tonight show.
Crazy belief...
G.
where they stand is a strange mixture.
yes, they don't agree with abortion and homosexuality, they believe in the bible and wear skirts and ties to church .
but in many ways they're liberal.
The leadership is far right conservative.
G.
do y'all remember the young people ask tape that came out in the late 90s about "bad association"?
i was a fairly small child with teenage siblings and watched it often (with family and alone cause i thought it was the inside scoop on older kids).
that was back when worldly was still very much so a part of dubspeak (i think they started encouraging people to stop saying it in the mid to late 2000s).
The format YPA was not bad at all, at that moment in time, was my opinion. Just like the book about all world religions (that never made it to the bookstudy... because of reasons). Both books, with the Greatest Man book, were refreshing to me, after all the Fred Franz oracle books.
I think, at the end of the 80's and beginning of the 90's, it was not bad to have this information... some topics I never dare to think of (:

the sky is so dark here in the south of the uk.
could be armageddon starting.. or then it could be dust particles in the atmosphere..
Temperature records never warmer in october here in Holland
the needle has been stuck on the record for over 130 years - thanks to mr. russell and his successive cohorts:.
page 11, paragraph 19 - “as this system nears its end,....”.
page 13, paragraph 5 - “do my actions show that i truly believe that these are the last days and that the end of satan’s rule is near?”.
Overlapping End (tm).
Cult.
G.
about what organizational aspect are witnesses negative?.
(i can’t find anything).. always positive = irrational = indoctrination.
g..
Cult 😡
