  just heard from a pimi cousin who recently attended a convention, and remarked about the low attendance.

  peak was about 500. i remember that circuit, in years past, had attendances of 1000+.

  it's been over a decade now since i last attended a jw convention.

  And this could explain the smaller & smaller venues for conventions too.

  They need circuit overseers.

  To whip the eldubs & keep the $heeples on their toes. Keep em inline,, on edge.

  follower of Eric Wilson, abusive to single women covered by paying sums of money to support Beroean Pickets tourism trips.

  susanne eigenheer is an ex-jw and suffered religious abuse in eric wilson's group.

  her personal statement and experiences within the beroean pickets study groups was one of betrayal where she was taken advantage of financially.

  in one text conversation, wendy wiens disfellowshiped susanne and demanded an apology from her.

  This is how & why critical thinking skills are essential. To avoid & prevent one's mind from succumbing & being victimized by such groups

  Mike & Kim were talking about this on a video a few weeks ago. Straw man arguments are what draws people into the Borg.

  Following the world. Instead of following an organization disguised as a religion.

  "Phisically In, Mentally Out" - a song

  by EdenOne in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so, i am a musician and composer in my spare time, but serious enough to be affiliated with the national author's association.

  i have entertained the idea of writing a conceptual album about one person's personal journey into a cult, living the cult, and leaving the cult and beyond.

  i hope this will resonate, not only with jw's but with people who are going, or went, through similar journeys.

  Circa 2009-2010 District Convention became the Regional Convention. About that time. When the District Overseer arrangement became obsolete.

  yesterday was remembrance day/veterans days in canada.

  we had a couple younger half wits in the cong in field service yesterday.

  both are trying to climb the ladder with the entire elder body ready to die in the next 10 years.. i just of thought it was a dick move to go door to door about the merits of fighting for freedom or not fighting on such a sacred day.

  Who Directs the Activitie$ and Doctrines of the Hovering Body?

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. beliefs

  jehovah’s witnesses boast that theirs is a “spirit-directed organization”.. see w88 3/1 pp.

  10-17 (my life in jehovah’s spirit-directed organization).

  they believe that their deceased founder, charles taze russell (who faced legal action by his wife for inappropriate behavior in his maids bedroom), is directing the modern-day work of jehovah’s witnesses.. after the founder, c t russell died, it was stated that he was still directing the work from heaven.. "though pastor russell has passed beyond the veil, he is still managing every feature of the harvest work.
