Oh boy get a Load of this ridiculousness.
They're only putting on a show because GB are there. They wouldn't give a monkeys if it was Bob from the local congregation.
No wonder the GB believe their own bullshit, they're surrounded by sycophants!

Melbourne Convention Protest
by jonahstourguide inhi all.. i didn't want to post this in private because i want all to see what i saw.. the protest at the melbourne convention went superbly in my opinion.
the protesters and their banners were more than eloquent and succinct.
you could feel the emotion they all conveyed.

Just for fun...
by Vidiot in…(and for the very first time), i thought i'd post a new topic completely non-wt-related... about a subject matter i have a particular affinity for.... ..i'm a major movie geek (most people here already know that), but one of the many things i especially like are what i call "middle-finger victory lines".. they are memorable (and extremely quotable) moments of dialogue, wherein the protagonist says an extremely cool or badass comment to a very deserving defeated opponent.... ...usually (but not always) said when victory has just been literally snatched from the clutches of certain defeat, and serving as a tall, proud, and victorious flipoff to the often (but not always) shocked-at-the-sudden-turn-of-events enemy.. my ten favorites:.
"smile, you sonofabitch.
"sheriff brody to the shark......just before firing his last bullet into a scuba tank lodged in the charging shark's open jaws.jaws (1975).

Oh and apparently one of the actual PiMi Jehovah's witnesses went to kindly buy some of the protester’s some coffees during lunch break and guess what? Those swines the attendants actually prevented him from going back in to the convention!!!!
How awfully petty can you get??

They need a JWFacts.com banner.
Hi Bandicoot they did have one. If you check out You tuber “Goatlike Personality”’s channel he’s made a few short videos at the protest. Came all the way from Norway for it. He showed that there were some JWfacts.com posters there. They actually made mention of Paul Grundy too.

Hi Balder and welcome!
I’m guessing it would be useful for you to have the weekly schedule of a JW who is roughly your age? If so...
Presently they have two meetings per week which you absolutely must attend. The Sunday one includes a public talk followed by the watchtower study (Watchtower and Awake are the two magazines published by the watchtower bible and tract society who essentially run the Jehovah’s Witness organisation. You are expected to read both magazines).
The midweek meeting is called our Christian life and ministry and is essentially a session given over to perfecting your ministry or preaching work.
Most families have a family Worship session usually on Fridays and will go out in the preaching work for a few hours on a Saturday. This is the minimum requirement for any baptised Jehovah’s Witness, known as a ‘publisher’. If you were to do less than this you would be known as ‘bad association’.
Young Jehovah’s witnesses are discouraged from pursuing further education and any hobbies or after school activities that are likely to take them away from the preaching work.
Jehovahs witnesses are also discouraged from befriending non-Jehovah’s witnesses, known as ‘worldly people’ because those considered part of the world are seen as being under the influence of Satan the devil.
Jehovahs witnesses believe the bible is the literal word of god and that their religion is the only true religion. They also have many rules they must abide by, which are stated in the watchtower magazine. Despite the fact JWs claim they live by bible standards, Many of these rules are not found in the bible - such as the no beards rule and the ban on higher education and the no voting in elections rule.
Academics and experts consider the Jehovah’s Witnesses as a cult, and indeed they fit the B.i.T.E. Model of a cult (which is worth looking up).

I am a Watchtower survivor
by Sour Grapes ini really like calling myself a watchtower survivor.
it is not demeaning to other people and is not a negative statement.
when a jdub sees that term it may make them think about why i would call myself a survivor.

I agree. Especially given the abuse many Watchtower raised kids go through. Kids are less than nothing in the Kingdom Hall, treated as freaks at school. You have no education and have no provision in your old age. Shunned by family and friends and made to feel as if you are a worthless human you end up with zero self worth.
A survivor is absolutely the correct term.

The Latest From The Loony Left
by Simon inso apparently, not only can people identify as men or women, regardless of reality, but they've now declared that people can identify as black or white as well!
no word yet from rachel dolezal, who will no doubt be declared a visionary, and sadly michael jackson didn't live long enough to celebrate.. i must say, now that i am a black woman, my views on reparations have completely changed.
y'all owe me some reparations bitches to make up for slavery yo.

If you are born a poor white you have privilege which anyone with a brain [this excludes democraps] knows is BS.
I couldn’t disagree more.
There is no one and I mean NO ONE as disadvantaged these days as a POOR white male. Especially if they aren’t very academic. Every other minority catches a break, but a poor white male gets none. *
P.S. and Im slightly to the left of Trotsky but even I can see what’s happening.

2015 was the worst year. No surprise, ARC came like a sledgehammer. I'll never forget that summer!
Me too Red Pill2 the jig was up for me with that.
I also think a lot of people who came back in for 2014 100 year anniversary, just in case of Armageddon, left by the back door in 2015, too!!😉

Based on this story...I don’t buy it.
why?🤔
”Brazen conduct” basically gives the elders carte blanche. An engagement is considered as seriously as the marriage contract and you’d better have a damn good reason to break it off.....come to think of it there isn’t one.
Accepting a Christmas gift, if someone wanted to make problems for you, could be more than enough to get given your cards.🤨
