  2010 DC" Remain in Gods Love"...Most Unloving Yet??

  by JWFreak in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the talk outlines for the summers conventions are only being printed over the next 2 weeks or so.. the finished outlines were ready in the middle of december 2009, however sources that i trust tell me that at least 5 of the talks were returned for last minute rewriting which is highly unusual.

  this has held up the printing until now, a delay of over a month.

  this is a fact!!.

  They could forbid oral sex, or they could forbid holding hands during the KH

  prayers, or they could demand what rooms to stay in during the summer

  conventions, or they could control how short or long the sisters dresses have

  to be, or they could say that the sisters can't wear pants in the freezing cold

  while out selling the magazines, they could demand that beards are not allowed

  even though Jesus and Russel had one, they could demand that everyone move

  and sit closer toward the front of the stage at the KH, they coul demand that

  they have the right to come to your house for a shepard call, they could demand

  that even if you only have 15 minutes of preaching time that you count it, they

  could demand what assembly you have to attend in the summer, they could

  demand that while at the summer convention that you can not leave the location for lunch,

  they could demand that R rated movies are off limits, they could demand that being overly

  sad at the death of a loved one is an indication that you do not trust the resurrection,

  they could demand that if you are sick that should not stop you from coming to the

  meetings, they could demand that young people should strife to go to Bethel as they

  push out of Bethel the older ones. My brain is starting to bleed.

  The end is nigh!

  by highdose in

  after a year of having been out and 7 months on jwn, i like to think that i'm pretty well deprogrammed.. one thing i still have trouble with though is the mental attitude of thinking that the end is coming soon.

  difficult to explain this, but its like a mental awareness that is always there no matter what.. and of course the end is not coming, i just don't know how to get my brain to realise this?!?

  I thought the end came in 1975. We are now all enjoying

  the rich blessing of God's spiritual paradise.

  Handbill for 2010 District Conventions

  by dozy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the wts has announced the usual handbill invitation "campaign" for the conventions this year.

  i haven't seen a copy but i assume that it will be similar to the one for congregation meetings and from previous years.

  the usual 30 per publisher allocation.. i seriously wonder about the efficacy of these campaigns.

  I was sitting in the back of the hall on Sunday morning

  and about 30 minutes into the Watchtower study two

  brothers get up to take a head count. It was the funniest

  thing, this is a ritual at every meeting. There are about

  85 in attendance. One brother stands on one side of the

  Hall and counts and the other brother stands on the other

  side of the Hall and he counts. I swear, that they must

  have spent 6 to 10 minutes counting. How long does it

  take to count to 85? Then they leave the auditorium and

  go and compare notes to see had the highest count which

  was another 5 minutes. This is kinda like the pioneer shuffle

  just killing time. Then they walk back into the auditorium---another

  job well done. One of the many theocratic privileges that are

  available to God's people.

  This was the title of a little side article in today's

  Witchtower study. Every year they always have

  a story of a child sending the Witchtower Babel and

  Trick Sobriety their dimes and nickels. Well this

  little article had a different twist. I am going to write

  it down and see if you can see what point they are

  trying to make. Here we go:

  "Recently, on her own initiative, a nine year old girl

  in Brazil separated the money she had saved into two

  parts---18 dollars and 25 dollars. She put the smaller

  amount into the contribution box at the local Kingdom

  Hall to help cover expenses. Then she forwarded the

  larger portion to the branch office of Jehovah's Witnesses,

  along with a short letter."
