Funny how there have never been any 'ghosts' or 'demons' captured on video so the world can see them on youtube.

VERY short day at the Arlington/Dallas International Convention-My Observations
by CaptainSchmideo inokay, some good takeaway:.
i have never been to a convention quite like this before.
a very friendly vibe all around, lots of banners and posters with sayings like "sending love to all our brothers", "see you in the paradise", "ecuador sends greetings", and "jehovahs-witness.net" (okay, i lied on that last one...).

RE what Data Dog notes, this year they are throwing the kitchen sink at the troops so they don't think about 1914. Huge conventions, busy work with the upcoming jw.org tracts, speculations about this being the 'last meh-morial', I could go on and on.
Whipping up this kind of excitement and fervor can't go on for too long, otherwise everyone either expects more, or suffers a letdown. Next year will be the let down. In the years that follow, we'll see JWs here who are actually realizing its been 100 years of Jesus doing nothing.
They have already dropped the two day conventions, I'll guess this year will be the last three day convention. Next year it goes to two, way less rent to pay at worldy venues and income can remain about the same. The new squeeze on donations will continue, and 1914 will look more and more like a sick joke.

Imagine the WTBTs gross potential liability for damage to people's lives. People to include non-members (say, relatives or other loved ones).
Care to explain how in the world this could be proven and damages measured?

"It's not religious..." Wait... What???
by dynamiterose77 inmy friend, mike works as a massage therapist, and there is a woman at the shop that is super-jw-woman and is constantly hounding him with things.. today, he's messaging me and he tells me that she was trying to push a brochure or something on him.
he said he'd really rather not read a religious pamphlet.. so... she says, "it's not religious... it's from god.".
isn't that kinda what religious means?

Maybe have him print up a few cards that read "jwfacts.com" on them.
Next time she asks him to read it, he can offer her a trade of literature.
That ought to shut her up.

jw.org getting out of hand
by Gorbatchov init seems the watchtower staff have made a runaway train with the introduction of the mark jw.org.. the combination of using a gadget driven platform and the fact that the common jw is low educated and easely influenced.
by new occurrings in their religion makes the situation getting out of hand.. proof: gb members wearing jw.org buttons during their speech, gifts with jw.org are given away, umbrellas with the jw.org are available.
jw.org is more important then god, his son and the gospel.. it's the gadget and the jw.org mark that counts.. i am so happy my grandparents are not confronted with these idiots.. it's a runaway train heading to the end of the track.. gorby .

Our "Evolved" culture
by Saved_JW injust a quick reminder of the "evolved" culture we live in:.
1- we live in a time where the humanity of a child is not determined by science [chromosomes, dna] but by the feelings of the mother.. 2- gender used to be determined by the objective anatomical, psychological, and genetical differences..now based purely on your emotional self.. 3- philosophy used to be a discipline which sought for ultimate truth, arguments were deliberated, calculated, and worldviews challenged.
humanity sought to know why we believe not just what we believe.

So what is your solution Saved?
Lemme guess, bowing down to the imaginary sky friend that you personally approve of, right?
10-15% of all pregnancies end in "murder" as well, oops I mean miscarriage. I'm sure that term is OK to use, right?

Tech49: Mini RC 2014 Review
by Tech49 ini attended the regional convention (district convention) over the last weekend, and thought i would spend a few minutes putting down some thoughts, for your amusement.
i will bounce around a bit, as my notes and thoughts were a little craaaaazy.. we met at one of the smaller venues on the west coast, with attendance around 7,000.
(28 baptized.... <.04%) we were tied in to the international convention in arlington, tx.. my first thought, only about 2 hours in, was how much this sounded like a plain old sales meeting!

There was the part about not associating with DF relatives. His wording was that we could associate with them and show them respect, as long as we were discreet.
What? Are you serious?

US Supreme Court: Hobby Lobby wins we lose
by designs inthe old guys sided with hobby lobby today in denying birth control coverage to its female employees based on the owners religious views.
intact- is viagra for the guys.
funny how the far right evangelical owners of hobby lobby didn't want to touch that one.... read judge ginburg's scathing counter argument and opinion.. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/13pdf/13-354_olp1.pdf.

but the ruling means that the government can't force the company to support those actions which go against the religious beliefs of the company owners
Absurd. The company buys health insurance in bulk based on the number of employees that work there. The employees need a variety of health services. The company is run by bible thumping dickheads that want to stick their noses where it doesn't belong, namely the vagina's/penis's of the employee.

Just a guess, but this guy probably got a lighter sentence because he wasn't caught in the act, he was just trying to get to that point.
That being said, there are plenty of things that can be done if he gets back into the congo. Make sure everyone is warned about this guy, especially if he moves to another hall. If the guy goes in serve-us, see if you can capture video of him at a door. Send it off to every news channel and paper within 50 miles. Make it easy for them, give them the guy's address and the elduhs names and phone numbers.
Maybe someday if enough headaches are caused for the WT they will finally slap a serve-us restriction on these sickos.
