That is the one good thing about assemblies. Basically these talks are landmines planted among the JW population. You never know when they go off into left field so far it causes and explosion and then a mind is freed.

No.
Do not continue to support lies and the liars that spout them. Simply advise her that you will respect her choice to do what she wants, but you cannot support the lies any longer.

IC 2014 talk: "A Century of Kingdom Rule Contrasted With a Century of Satans Rule"
by AnnOMaly ina discussion of this talk on friday morning deserves its own thread.
as i said elsewhere, it was a remarkable one.
the speaker was manfred vencebi (google him - he's a bethel bigwig) and some of his remarks are real gems.

I'm still shocked at how they are "owning" this 1914 prophecy and not backing down one bit from it. I guess they are going keep with the "Tell a lie, make it a big lie, and keep repeating it" theme. Hopefully a few wake up to all this banging in the 100 year drum.

I'm sure the nighttime entertainment is for the foreign delagates only.
Though I am amused at the thought of them getting stuck in 4th of July traffic for hours on end.

Birthdays
by Laika ini had my first real birthday party yesterday.
call me an irredeemable pagan, but i was massively excited about this, the whole thing was very special, i got a little emotional and i think my friends must have found it a little strange but it was just nice to be creature worshipped.
when i was a child my parents always used to tell people i didn't miss out by not celebrating my birthday but i did miss out.

Happy 4th of July!
Enjoy it in your suits and dresses sitting outside on hard stadium seats for 8 hours a day.

Assembly News Photo
by snare&racket inthis photograph from a news site is a succinct summary of a life in wt's hands....... look at their faces, it says it all.. also, note the watchtower pr machine in action, explaining that it brings 4 million dollars to the location.
(10,000 x 400 dollars) clearly a watchtower statistic, where is the care and interest for members who are struggling so much, with new videos encouraging less career activity, less work commitments, at an all time economic low for our generation.. http://www.standard-freeholder.com/2014/06/15/thousands-attend-watchtower-convention-in-cornwall.
father: "i'm a wt 'yes' man and proud of it!

They don't jam the venues very full these days, JWs need space for all that shit they have to bring into the site.

New DVD review
by Laika ini managed to catch the new dvd on youtube last night before the inevitable takedown.
as a film i felt it wasn't anywhere near as good as the prodigal movie, the story wasn't as dramatic, the characters much less interesting and developed and the direction weaker.
i found the prodigal relatively entertaining (all things considered) this one was just dull.. here are some of my random thoughts anyway [spoiler alert - ha!].

Ok, I watched yesterday as well.
The "climax" as described above was just idiotic. Basically the comparison was getting drunk and killing someone = leaving the b0rg. They kept on and on and on with the "your choices affect other people". Hidden message, "You can't leave the b0rg or you won't have a family ever again"
Also right before this part, daddy tries a last ditch effort to get Marcus back into the b0rg. Instead of meeting any of the objections the son has, daddy's solution is Marcus should just go to meetings, in serve-us, and attend family worship "full force" for six months. All they have is desperate re-indoctrination ploys these days. Nothing else.
Also this was brought up in Reddit, the magical negro angle.
As usual, its kinda hilarious to see how they dress up the JWs to look like 'worldly people'. Just doesn't work.
The resolution was ridiculous as well. Here is a guy working tons of OT, and who has his wife at work. Suddenly he sits down and works out a budget in the backyard where they can suddenly "make it" on his income alone, and wifey will get to go in serve-us more. This was before any discussion of selling the house. Pretty amazing how in JW land you can cut your income in half suddenly and everything works out!
