Indeed the program shows nothing new and attractive. It is the same repetitive Carrot & Stick, Fear & Guilt, More Service, More Meeting, More Study, No Rest & Relaxation - that they have been preaching for a Century now.
Below is the program how it should look like in my opinion and if it indeed did look like this, I would certainly attend:
Regional Convention 2015: Becoming Ethical Caring Humans
#1 Think Critically as the Bereans
#2 Symposium: Cultivate the fruitage of the Spirit

- The Sick & Elderly
- Helping congregation members
- Really helping non-witness persons

- Treat others as they wish to be treated
- Caring for our Planet
#4 Symposium: Following Christ’s footsteps
- Developing Christ-Like compassion
- Not judgmental as the Pharisees
- No money making in the temple
- Principles trump rules
- Doing Good deeds
- Turning water into wine
#5 Symposium: Family
- Be a loving husband
- Be a caring Wife
- Spicing up the marriage
- Elders & Elderettes - Family comes first
- Raising ethical caring Children
- Supporting your Gay child
- Respecting your Parents

Atlantis- Wish him all the best. He is at least a DFed person who already knows TTATT and is not in any danger of returning to the Pharisee CULT. I hope he lands back on his feet and is able to get move on. Thank him for all his posting - also in name of JWR (jehovahswitnessrecovery.com)
I am sure that someone else will take his place as Bethel-insider for us soon.

Start with asking questions and leave it to him to give you a satisfactory answer from the Bible - not the literature. Ask him to explain the Generation teaching, and how it can be that the Generation of 1914 is now gone. Next question is for him to explain the current teaching of who the faithful and discrete slave is - again using the Bible to justify his answer. This should fill your visit.

Viviane,
I am NOT ill informed and DID watch the show. Indeed question everything - which as I pointed out is NOT allowed as a JW to question the WTBTS teachings.

Just watched it...impressive (but nothing really new if you are up-to-date on Science topics)
I can't help but seeing the inquisition and how anybody asking questions was excommunicated as a complete parallel to what the Governing Body does today... Anyone voicing the slightest doubts or questioning things is labeled "apostate" and disfellowshipped (excommunicated).
I hope this series of COSMOS opens the eyes of a few more and encourages people to "question everything".
