  In the Netherlands, in the early 80's:

  - the society trade meps to ibm, obtained an own satellite data chanel;

  - dutch ice producer uses blood for ingredients;

  - demons have jw children in focus, says demons itself;

  - jw art department makes hidden messages;

  - UN plans one world religion;

  - family of the pope are witnesses, pope reads watchtower / pope has bible study;

  - george bush halted his colonne and speaks with witnesses at 9/11;

  - heinrich himmler respected jw's;

  - we can trust the brothers;

  - Armageddon will come before the summer, don't plan a foreign holiday.

  This one i heard last month: the full household of president duerte (mad dog of asia) contains of jw's, the only ones he trust;

  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.

  Drop Off in Mentioning 1914

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  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.

  Review: 2018 "Be Courageous!" convention

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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.

  Jesus with an iPad. Really?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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?.
