how often have we heard some sort of sensationalist urban legend as jws?.
here is an example i was told as a kid:.
the experience of a sister who knocked on a door and was greeted by a big fierce looking man- intimidating and mean.
An official jw story is that a tornado that killed a bunch of jw's in country (x) lead to extra sand winning in country (y), just in need to speed up the local branch building project.
So not only informal, but also formal story's of that weird kind.

videos from the summer jw conventions ("be courageous) show the "urgency" about the end racheted up several notches.
paranoia rules supreme!.
curiously, though, very few, if any, statements in the convention program about 1914 and the overlapping generations.
Jo Plumber accepts everything. If JW.org declares that all jw’s will get a heavenly reward because the rank and file had it wrong, they all will believe it at once.
So 1914 has no relevance now, because they have different things to do: standing with a trolley at the corner of a street.

can anyone identify this ring?
(ideally, a link to a page on the internet with photo and description).
In Europe pinkie rings are rare. Strange, weird and feared.
Why wearing them???

Don’t go.
It’s better for you, and better for the others.

friday and saturday were for the most part pretty light, not too culty or doctinal, could easily suck in the unsuspecting.
there were a couple of hypocritical lines that i took note of however.
at one point the speaker said, "if your boss fires everyone who disagrees with him but promotes everyone who agrees with him, you might be tempted to agree with him just to keep your job.
I see a cyclus in convention atmosphere.
2 strict, one light.
At the moment that you think they are fair, they get you.

back in beginning of 2000s i lived in a nordic country.
they hade the biggest assembly hall own by jws and a two store bulding in middle of capital converted to kh for several congregation.
short story everything was sold cause they couldn't pay the rent.
It's a businessmodel, they make property profits.

at a local meeting, one of the elders said that if jesus were on the earth today 'you can be sure' he would be preaching by showing videos on a tablet.. i kid you not.. i wonder what videos he'd be playing?.
obviously this was the elder's own pet theory.
wasn't it?.
Jesus would have his HQ in Warwick, i guess.

how indoctrination works: i was dreaming tonight about the summit between trump and kim.. heard the bible text about "peace and security" and "disqusting thing at a holy place"in my head and my brains were calculating with the number 666 (=6/12, date of today).. this is no joke.
since 1995 mentally out and since 2008 realy out, educated and reading quality stuff and still my brains do this crazy stuff.
amazing!.
