  2018 Courage Convention video invitation

  by Listener in

  the video invitation for the 2018 convention is just creepy.

  i thought it was some parody at first as it seems 'dark'.it begins with a young man being pushed whilst standing at his locker and the voice over says that 'in critical times we need courage more than ever'.

  next, comes a clip of a male putting his hand on the shoulder of a female worker, the look she gives him would be enough to give him nightmares for the next year.

  Do any of the 144,000 in heaven take part in the destruction at Armageddon?

  i wondered about that when i heard garret loesch state that shortly before the tribulation the governing body would be taken up.

  .

  if this is the case, it seems like garret and the other seven would be there just in time to help out in the killing of billions.. i thought they used to say that some would survive armageddon before they were taken up..

  The whole thing is complete insanity. JDumbs seek little crumbs from the 8 Popes to reaffirm that they have not wasted their lives and that they must have the Troof.

  The Hateful 8 are looking forward to having a share in the butcher job that the desert god will do as billions of innocent men, women, children, and babies die for the crime of not being a JDub.

  My impressions of the cart witnessing

  2. experiences

  i have watched tons of youtube videos of our exjdub friends approaching and talking to the jdub manikins at their carts as they give a great witness to the world by sipping their hot lattes, updating their social media, chit chatting to each other, and the most important thing of getting their time in, counting their hours.. when the jw's see someone approach with a camera they do several things, they will turn their backs on the person, or look at the person with a frown and act like the person isn't even there.

  the witlesses refuse to answer simple, clear, and precise questions.

  when i was an elder i loved to get into discussions and debates with trinitarians, priest, clergymen and those who were born again.

  The Jobots love the cart work. Getting their hours have never been so easy. The rules are...don't engage in any conversations with people walking by, keep warm with coffee as needed, don't push our literature on people to save the costs and make sure your phones have a full battery before you start your time.

  Are the 8 superstar Popes planning a purge?

  there are over 8 million jdubs and i would venture a guess that at least 20% to 30% are pimo.

  in my opinion, the kingdom hauls are only half full for two reasons....many have left but the majority are pimo and any little excuse will keep them home and they will report their token ghost hours in service.

  all it takes to stay home is being tired, too much school homework or i will go next week, no doubt many have taken part-time jobs and the fear of working the second shift and the guilt of missing meetings is gone.

  Slow Burn...I was just thinking that due to the money crunch the Borg says they have that there would be a future requirement to leave all one's money, real estate, jewelry to the Borg since they say all of our valuables belong to Jehovah anyway.

  Morpheus...the Borg already encourages on an annual basis that the JDubs leave everything to the Watchtower and they even approach the elderly in nursing homes to get their wills changed over to be the sole beneficiary removing their own children. I have seen that myself. My point was could they make this mandatory?

  Slow down man and smell the roses. Life is too short to be so bitter.

  Morpheus...I always think before I post. I am not your enemy...just trying to do some brainstorming as to what the Society is hinting at when they talk about future things that may be said that seem strange from a human standpoint.

  Love you man.

  There are over 8 million JDubs and I would venture a guess that at least 20% to 30% are PIMO. In my opinion, the Kingdom Hauls are only half full for two reasons....many have left but the majority are PIMO and any little excuse will keep them home and they will report their token ghost hours in service. All it takes to stay home is being tired, too much school homework or I will go next week, No doubt many have taken part-time jobs and the fear of working the second shift and the guilt of missing meetings is gone. This would explain why the overall numbers in the total JW count do not reflect the sharp decline indicated in the number of halls being combined.

  Then we have the disfellowshipped, and the majority of which stay that way but many do return not because of their love of the desert god but because of wanting to be with family. These reinstated ones will also be PIMO's.

  The 8 Popes at Warwick know that PIMO's create a problem for them and how much better it would be if they weren't around because of the example they set and it can discourage the faithful to not be so faithful.

  Somehow the Popes need to get rid of them. They are going to do something that is over the top that only the JW's that become unconscious when they enter the Kingdom Hauls will fully buy into. The Watchtower has stated several times in so many words "you are going to hear some crazy stupid shit coming from the Popes that seems bizarre, but your faithful obedience to this stupid shit will save your lives at the fast approaching Great Tribulation."

  I think that they may even make it much more difficult for the disfellowshipped to be reinstated since they will become more PIMO's.

  I was trying to think what would be some things the Gibbering Booty may demand to put things over the top? Something that I thought of is making tithing mandatory or setting minimum hours in service to 30 to 40 hours a month for everyone, How about having several meetings a month in some bunker as trial runs for the future. Maybe showing proof that ones final will have the Watchtower Company as the sole beneficiary for everything?

  What do you think? Am I out in left field with the above?
