looks like it's fun.
there's a cool story in there about how a ministerial servant got deleted for playing violent video games, and then wrote to the branch office about it and told people in his congregation.
classy, guys, really classy.

it seems they can't even let you get disfellowshipped in peace !
i've been out for three years now, and i heard that i'm a whack job, i'm gay ( i'm married with a son ), that i lied on a judicial committee, and these rumors were started by my ex-fiance and her meddling congregation.
when i heard about these things i called my p.o or c.o.t.b.e ( mind you i'm disfellowshipped when i called ) .
I have no idea what they say nowadays. Some folks have even sent their greetings, though probably not anyone who would get in trouble for that. One guy thought I'd braided my hair. At most, I have a scruffy beard. I think he mistook someone else for me.
I can be sure they may have talked about it at some point, but then they talked about everyone. [Deep breathing] If a JW gossips about you and you're not there to hear it, did they make a sound? [In through nose...out through mouth...]

Oh, and...thank the faithful slave for quenching our spiritual thirst. I mean, it is a WASTELAND out here. Every month I just look forward to the SHEER RELIEF of reading The Watchtower once again.

Classy, guys, really classy. I wonder what game it was? And how'd they find out? Probably he had an elder's son over to play it with him, ha...
Well, nothing too fancy there. Another with Moses and Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, but no use of the term 'apostate' that I noticed. Just a mention of the idea, in a way.
But...I'm just letting you know. You can pick it apart yourselves, should you desire. Take care, folks.

i just happened to pay a visit to hypertexttransferprotocol colon backslash backslash worldwide web dot jw dot org (http://www.jw.org), my absolute favorite website of all time right now, and i noticed they have assembly programs for 2013 on there.. it looks like the programs have similar themes as this year's convention, themed "safeguard your heart".
the assembly program is themed "safeguard your mind" and the special assembly day is themed "safeguard your conscience", unless i've confused the two, i really don't feel like going back to look at them right now, the files opened up at like 198% magnification and it creeped the hell out of me, it was like a giant recurring nightmare in 3-d or something.
it sounds like they're really worried about the jw mindset right now, or else why have programs with those themes?
Oh, sorry. I thought no one was going to post on this thread...tried to get away with saying something random...
Check under "Downloads" under "Books and Brochures". It's there. I just looked at it. And don't tell me I'm lying because of the 'two witness rule' either!!

It sounds like they're really worried about the JW mindset right now, or else why have programs with those themes? Such similar themes spread out through the year has, to my knowledge, never been done before. Granted, I've not been around the block that many times, so this is news to me.
Of course I know the actual content won't change much. (1) More hours of field service, cut back on work (cue experience of person who asks supervisor to work 3-4 days a week and not only gets it approved, but at higher pay!). Just don't cut back on donations. This assembly is in deficit, despite being able to afford to send money to the Society--your money that was sent with the elders' consent and not yours, so...we're going to need some more money to actually cover the cost of this program. Sorry, guys, should've...mentioned that earlier. (2) Don't do 'higher education'. (Cue experience of person who gave up scholarship and is now pioneering.) (3) Stay off the Internet. There's porn and apostates, so...oh, wait, just set your parental controls to only allow jw.org, and block everything else. (Cue bad joke, something like, "Avoid all fifty shades of Facebook." [Laughter that's a little too raucous because some people have read a certain naughty-but-poorly-written novel.]) (4) Role-playing--elder realizes he has a drinking problem. Family study reveals teen has a boy who likes her at school. And so on... (5) The faithful slave. Look at what the faithful slave has done for us. In 1935, the faithful slave sneezed and offered us a napkin, symbolically. Thank the faithful slave. Obey the faithful slave. And look forward to continuing to obey the faithful slave for at least a thousand years into the future and on into eternity!
So...just putting that out there for minds that aren't as tired as my own to pick apart the titles and stuff...

ending a sentence in a proposition can get a guy slapped a who bunch of times.. conjugating stuff should only be done in a proper marriage.. a split infinity leads to babies.. gerunds are little animals certain movie stars put in places where the sun don't shine.. transitive refers to people who live under bridges.. intransitive refers to people who live in houses.. double life imprisonment is a compound sentence for really bad guys.. a compound/complex sentence is almost the same thing, but the judge was on drugs and didn't have a clue when he issued it.. parsing a sentence should only be performed by people who don't have a clue what they are doing.. an example of a propositional phrase is "hey babe!
your place or mine?".
alliteration is what happens when a whole bunch of people toss garbage out of their car windows on the highway.. punctuation is what every 14 year old boy wants to do to every 14 year old girl and every other female on the planet for that matter.. using a semi-colon in a sentence is the same thing as using a period, except it isn't.. using a colon is something best done in private.. most people, use commas, way too much, and this, should be, avoided, however.. exclamation marks should be used sparingly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

at the last district convention i went to (2010) i was sitting in my seat during the lunch break.
i was listening to two brothers sitting together chatting in the row in front of me.
they were talking about brother 'so and so'.
I've learned that there are some sincere loving witnesses in the organization. Some do their best to be examples and demonstrate christian love but sadly they are few and far between.
Agreed.

ive been lurking for quite sometime and now feel the need to come and noob it up.
it's taken a lot to bring me to read anything critical of the wts.
i used to glance at these apostate sites and shutter in fear because of the obvious demonic venom that can be found :) i am still an active witness and have been in this struggle to stay both in and be removed mentally from this organization.
Ready for your wife to turn you in to the elders yet? Let me tell ya, judicial committees are AWESOME! You should pop some popcorn and read my story sometime. It's great entertainment.
Welcome! Welcome? Why am I saying welcome? I don't live here! Hi! How are you?
