I can summarize the entire three days in just a few sentences:
"Love is hate"
"Freedom is slavery"
"Checks should be made out to Watch Tower, that's TWO WORDS"

2010 DC" Remain in Gods Love"...Most Unloving Yet??
by JWFreak inthe talk outlines for the summers conventions are only being printed over the next 2 weeks or so.. the finished outlines were ready in the middle of december 2009, however sources that i trust tell me that at least 5 of the talks were returned for last minute rewriting which is highly unusual.
this has held up the printing until now, a delay of over a month.
this is a fact!!.

I have never read a SF or Fantasy book with more supernatural events, pagan worship, and demons than the "Holy" Bible.

the Aposte Paul wrote the majority of the Christian Greek Scriptures. He was one of those INSPIRED men of God. One of the Holy Men of God that recorded what Jehovah wanted Man-kind to know. He was a chosen vessel to Jehovah,
Do you have anything at all other than Paul's own "say-so" to support that assertion?
WTWizard makes an excellent point. Pauline Christianity bears very little resemblance to "the truth" Christ preached that would set his followers free.

"When armageddon happens, I want to be able to SEE the people dying"
by jambon1 insaid to myself & others by a jw elder.. i always recall this as a sort of .
when this elder was pressed on the matter, he replied that it was because of all the years of laughing & sneering & mocking that he had put up with, quoting the scripture that goes along the lines of 'where is this promised presence of his'.. i realise now that this person is not loving.
and yet, i would hear similar sentiments from others such as 'just wait until the end' or 'i wonder if they'll be saying that when jesus comes with his big sword'.. even as a jw pioneer, the thought of such a thing happening to people repulsed me.

Faders are indeed a very large doormat
by moshe insorry, to be so blunt- for a whole day i have watched people here patting themselves on the back- we're a large army, oohh, look out wt, we might do something, well not today or tomorrow, but someday!
maybe, i have to just accept that a lot of jw's who are exiting the kh by the back door will never find a backbone to stand up to mummy and elder daddy.. jw's have a learned ability to see themselves in a better light than everyone else sees them.
ask a jw, if they are a charitable religion and they would likely all say they are, but when pressed to name a charity they will be unable to do so.

Uber-Dub, Faded, DA'd, DF'd - apparently being critical and judgmental isn't exclusive to any one group.

Since I'm still technically "in" I like to use those occasions to correct the Dub's misunderstanding about what's supposed to happen (most dubs, even dub elders, don't have the doctrine down). I like to remind them that the paradise isn't after Armageddon. After the Big A, it is 1,000 years of cleanup and field service, which is doomed to the same sort of 'success' that today's ministry is accomplishing - namely, just about none, followed by another period of persecution and testing, then ANOTHER destruction of the wicked (this time including Satan), and THEN, IF they survive all that, MAYBE they will be able to live in a paradise.
THAT is the official doctrine, but few dubs ever view it that way.

Using a book with dubious credibility as evidence doesn't exactly bolster one's case. Maybe that's just me though.

Public protest? Isn't trying to influence the government's laws being "a part of the world?"
