Well, all I can say is that this Spanish congregation's sisters can be quite distracting in anything they wear.

Has Gerrit Loesch of the Governing Body been in any more monthly broadcast since he refused to honor a court subpoena?
by Brokeback Watchtower injust wondering?
he denied being in subjection to the the watchtower corporation so are they still using him in their regular monthly broadcast.

@Viva la VidaYou can still sue the WT, and if you win, the cost of whatever damages they incur will be passed on to the congregations of R&F.
What the lawyers seem to be counselling the GB to do is to word their statements for the courts so that they are shielded from personal exposure to lawsuits.
@_Morpheus
I'm sure though that if the Pope issued some weirdo bull and this elicited lawsuits from disgruntled ex-Catholics who were harmed as a result, the Pope would be included by name in the lawsuit. I'm also sure that the Roman Catholic religion has non-profit corporations that do the hierarchy's bidding.
How would this be different from the GB and the WT corp?

One more example of myopic mismanagement of the Lord's belongings, it seems to me.

He is actually NOT responsible for wt policies. Hes responsible for the religious policies
Exactly, he is responsible because he votes on official policies (of the religion) which affect the lives of millions of followers.
He may not be the one responsible for day to day corporate dealings. But he is indeed responsible for teachings that are printed in the religion's publications.
If he voted to do away with the shunning practices, with the prohibition on blood transfusions, with the two witness rule on sexual abuse cases, etc. etc. etc. these policies would no longer be part of the religion and would prevent the suffering of thousands.
He is therefore responsible as are the rest of the Gobbering Body members.

Tsongas Center Lowell MA, Sunday Session of the Regional Convention 2015
by oppostate inwe're breaking up the regional convention event by going each of the days to a different weekend session.. the tsongas center lowell ma was a bit hard to find, we got lost and got there after the first song and prayer (just in time for the first talk)!
we ran into so many from our home congregation who aren't even assigned to this rc!.
i think it's quite common for publishers now to break up the convention weekend and attend at times when their congregation isn't assigned.. some families (3) were attending this particular convention so as to meet up with family members who are in another part of the region.

If you still attend, have you noticed more and more people breaking up the Regional Convention event by going each of the days to a different weekend session?
It does help to get through the ordeal. Because for some, attending three straight days is a grueling task.
Those who are near enough to the Convention site seem to prefer spreading out the Convention program over different weekends--especially so if they are elderly or suffer some health problems.
From my own observations, I see this practice becoming more and more common.

He denied being in subjection to the the Watchtower Corporation
The situation is rather that The Watchtower Corporation is in subjection to him as a member of the the Governing Body. That's something he can't so easily deny.
As a member of the GB, the WT's often mentioned "Faithful and Discreet Slave," he votes on official policies and is responsible for teachings that affect the lives of millions of people.

I had breakfast with 50+ JWs on Sunday
by zimunzucz inwe pulled into a hotel parking lot saturday around 6pm on the return leg of a wonderful family vacation to new england - an then fate stepped in---a man in a suit got out of a car with the rest of a picture perfect family.
i immediately noticed all the name tags--- and my blood pressure spiked 50pts- damn!!
i was booked in a 4 story hotel full of jws-- the only time they took off the name tags was in the swimming pool- they were so proud of themselves.. at 6:30 am the hot water went cold in the wife's shower- what do you expect on the 4th floor when a herd of jws is trying to get ready at the same time?

The correct term in Spanish is "cojones." *
And by your actions, Zimunzucs, they seem marinated in chutzpah!
I hope your effort to approach Witnesses with thought provoking questions will pay-off and result in many of them becoming awake!
*(cajones means big wooden boxes, the reference to testicular enormity and prowess should be "cojones" with "co" not "ca").
