the annual meeting of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will be in october 2014.. .. in november 2013, just after the last one they published this now famous statement in the 15th of november 2013 watchtower page 16 paragraph 17 says:.
"at that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from jehovahs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.
all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.".
yeah, I've been told by CO's and DO's over the last few months that there is a ''whopper'' coming down the pipe, they didn't say what time frame, but it would shake the ground to the average dub,lol
I agree that 100 years of kingdom rule and little or nothing happening will of course cause a tide of doubt and the Governing Body has to implement some kind of curb to prevent that from happening.
very creepy
you don't say why you are inactive.. if you can control your tongue and not blurt out anything you have learned about ttatt, then perhaps no harm in agreeing to a visit if you feel the need to be polite and cooperative.
no doubt, they will inquire as to why you are inactive.. don't you know it's the truth(tm)?.
don't you know the end(tm) is close?.
you don't owe them anything, btw

i would just lie to them and avoid them by pretending like you have the flu during the week, that way any family can verify that to the CO and DO

what I've experienced is be as evasive as possible. make yourself scarce as possible. should they keep insisting, make up something why you can't meet with them.
i have become more observant at the last couple district conventions of jws faces and enthusiasm and it seems to be very somber.
i remember a couple of years ago i was an attendant at one of the upper sections at the blue cross arena in rochester, ny and in afternoon session at least half were curled up with their eyes closed, some with blankets.
the applause seems very forced and mechanical.
yeah, sometimes I pounded back 3 or ever 4 beers in my car during the last half hour before the afternoon session, without eating since breakfast,lol. Needless to say I had plenty of Halls candy or Speermint gum to chew on while going back. It was a nice relaxing afternoon as you can imagine, made sure I had a seat handy close to a washroom too.

what I used to do was this, before the assembly I would stock-up on beer. I would by one of those little coolers which would hold 3-large beer cans at once. I would fill that little cooler with ice and 3-large beer before leaving the hotel before the convention for the morning. Then when noon came along, I would take a stroll out to my car then just pound those beer during lunch. I would make sure I had enough gum with me before going back in,lol, helped to pass the rest of day, you know,
as the conventions are in full swing, and my relatives who are still in make a point to tell me what their vacation will include.
i am reminded of a couple of things about conventions i do not normally think about.. one, the people who would protest the conventions.
some with bags on their head, others just holding signs.
I always wondered about that too
found this on youtube.
