2010 District Convention - Some Thoughts on the Sunday Afternoon Session
by Olin Moyles Ghost inout of a sense of morbid curiosity, i recently attended the sunday afternoon session of the district convention.
the session consisted of a drama and the infamous "remain in the secret place of the most high" talk.
overall, i got a sense that the wts is in damage control mode because the end hasn't come yet.

At my convention it didn't look like anyone was listening to the generation part of the talk. But, after, the brother had "exciting news" about the brothers in Russia being exonerated and everybody was enraptured. All the Dubs could talk about how Jehovah was behind this wonderful news and their cool new DVD and forget about questioning the generation.
I'm beginning to agree that "Religion is a snare and a racket."

How did you personally endure the torture during the DC?
by whatistruth inmy assembly was a couple of weeks ago and lets just say the only way i could possibly get through that b.s was by having some "funny stuff" before the sessions, then to my car at lunch.
pretty much slept the days away.
my wife would constintaly ask me what was wrong with me, i said i was feeling really sick.

My toddler! We arrived late, left early before lunch so our babe could have a nap, and went back late. We took turns wandering around the whole time with him.
I took notes to look busy, and wrote down weird points and doctrine not based on scripture. There were people outside on cell phones talking and texting. I also caught myself singing songs in my head, I swear I'm not crazy!!! I was just soooooo bored.
This year I found they really dumbed it down, and some brothers talked waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too slow and sounded phoney because they were trying to sound sincere, but there heart wasn't conveying that sincerity. There is one really loving brother in my hall who is genuine, and it comes across in the way he speaks. Some of the others were too put on.
Next year I plan on not going and will deal with the aftermath.

3rd Day Convention Observations
by NiceDream ini was having trouble paying attention, as there weren't enough seats, so i was sitting behind the curtain so i couldn't see the speaker.
i kept thinking about the wizard of oz "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
" anywho...the attendants has blocked off some of the balcony seating because the sound apparently wasn't great.

How to explain blood fractions are still blood to someone who doesn't agree...
by NiceDream indoes anyone have a good analogy or something i could use to help explain to my husband that blood fractions are still blood?
he feels that it gets to a point where it's not blood anymore.

Thank you Blondie, I always wondered why it was ok to used blood fractions which are made from stored blood, when blood is supposed to be poured out.

Wow! Thank you so much for all the excellent illustrations. I will have to remember them for a future discussion.
My husband is a JW, but recently told me he has doubts too. So then I told him about the blood issue that bothered me, and how I couldn't let our son die based on one scripture. He kinda freaked out and couldn't talk about it anymore. He said he either believes the Bible is right, or it's wrong. And if the JWs don't have the truth, then there is no truth.
I remember reading on here about blood, and how in 1 Samuel or something the men had to eat improperly bled meat to live, and it was ok. So I could show him that scripture if he's on the "no blood at all" side.

I kept thinking about the Wizard of Oz "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain." Anywho...the attendants has blocked off some of the balcony seating because the sound apparently wasn't great. However, I was up there and it sounded fine. I would rather have been able to see the speaker.
Anyways, during the last talk about the generation, the brother paused because he had lost his thoughts. He missed out the part on the first group seeing the sign, and skipped to the second group. He didn't say it very convincingly.
What bothered me the most during this talk, was that people were talking behind me, and when I looked around no one was really paying attention. It's the end of the day, the children are getting restless, and lots of people are wandering around the arena. The brother also spoke about the prophecy about "peace and security" and said it hadn't happened yet because "sudden destruction wasn't instantly upon them."
He was just stating the obvious! I really noticed how they dumbed things down.
However, when the brother started reading a letter from the Governing Body about the European Court of Human Rights exonerating the Community of JWs, everyone was listening. I saw only one other person walking around the arena, everyone else stopped to listen. The men sitting at the various department tables were standing up and moved closer to the auditorium seats so they could hear better and were paying rapt attention. I got the sense that they were listening to a message from God himself. Which made me wonder why that much attention wasn't given to the generation change.

DC Talk on Generaton
by Cynisister inas i will not be in attendance for this year's district convention, i would love to know exactly what the talk on the new meaning of "generation" actually states.
i visited my recently widowed mother (who found the "truth" when i was a toddler, and therefore i was raised in the religion - quit it totally 3 years ago) and had a lively discussion on the implications of this "new light".
she seemed really disturbed about all the "new anointed" ones coming out of nowhere.

I heard it yesterday, and the brother giving the talk paused to get his thoughts as he was explaining it. He missed the part on the first group that saw the sign and skipped to the second group who will see the end.

"That is how a husband should deal with his wife." "Deal" has such a negative connotation. The writer needs to be more loving in his writing. Also, eliminating all the "shoulds" in the article would be great too!
