i have been df'd for 9yrs as of july 31 (yay me!).
so as i have written about previously in other posts, my whole family (parents + sister) made the choice to treat me as if i do not exist, and i have accepted it.
last summer they made a blatant show of it as our family reunion, in that they would walk right by me and not say one word...prompting our extended family to question their actions.
Thousands of JW's watched that video and got absolutely nothing out of it.
They then went into the parking lot and drove to a local buffet.
They spoke about the convention and how encouraging it was......all the while, not able to share one new educational fact.
The next day........... they went to work.....and their brain said "what convention?'
Thus, the District Conventions of Jehovah's Witnesses.
after jesus fasted for 40 days, he was tempted by a man (not an evil angel) to turn stones into bread, jump from the temple and bow.
the tester was a pharisee of the ruling class.
jehovah's witnesses believe the tester to have been an evil spirit or leader of fallen angels named satan the devil.
LOL......oh man.........and Santa Claus used to be skinny
and they start delivering their message of judgment?
what do you think will happen when they start knocking on doors and telling people that their families will be killed in armageddon because they did not believed in jehovah.
i'm curious how people will react.
They'll never have to do it.
My god, if people that were taught they were living in the "last days" and that 'this generation would not pass away' are still attending meetings............it shows they don't have to do anything. The majority of these people are dumb enough to follow anything.....even if that 'generation' is all dead and it has been 102 years since Jesus took the throne.
Why would they ever have to do anything other than what they're doing? They have captured the same people that network/pyramid schemes capture.
my husband's gone to his meeting and i'm catching up with folks here on our forum.
i'm sure i'm having a better time :) anyway, was just following some posts regarding the un and there happened to be a copy of a magazine article stating brothers wouldn't want to be joining the "y" because it was "christian".
i think this was back in the 1950's (maybe not).
I wrote a blog on the YMCA, Birthdays, and obesity......according to the Watchtower. You can read it here. It's ABSURD:

#7 birthdays.
what the org teaches: .
"the bible never refers to a servant of god celebrating a birthday.
You could apply their stupid, intellectually dishonest reasoning to almost anything:
Cars are dangerous, should you stop driving one?
You can burn your hand on the stove, should you stop using it?
Makeup/"cosmetics" were only worn by pagan women; why do 'sisters' use it?
Haircuts? Beards? Not supposed to to trim according the Bible
Jehovah's Witnesses don't think. They are literally intellectually brain dead. And they like it. You really can't help them until they decide to help themselves.
i stopped in to see if that are any overwhelming statistics, stories or feedback from people regarding the 2016 district convention.....haven't seen much...... any stories or threads?.
Thank you Millie and Steve......good tidbits....exactly what I was looking for. I saw post from a JW that still speaks to me last night on FB.....she was telling everyone to bring a tissue.
I have to get over the frustration of seeing people I love fall for such intellectually insulting cult.

Thanks I've seen all of Lloyd's work leading up to the convention.....I was hoping for more first person accounts, experiences, observations, etc.

well the ball has started rolling, gonna sue, can't go into to much detail.
time for some payback .
Excellent.....take the fight to them.....their nuts will disappear and they will scatter like rats.
this really works.
i've already applied the basics of this with one elder who "offered" us a shepherding visit.
we've been totally ignored since!!!
I'm never going to understand this 'fading' talk.....I was a well known elder.....they haven't bothered me a bit.
All I did was look them in the eye and DARE them to come after me......
People.....get back your power....these guys are NOBODY...... they are scared out of their minds to someone that stands up to them........ there are so many things you can do besides fade......and they will leave you alone.
