the annual meeting seems to boil down to an opening talk about an "exciting new" bible museum and a closing talk about an "exciting new" new world translation.
sandwiched in between were the wt summary, a talk about indoctrinating the children fast/furious, and some "trip down memory lane.".
why would this "spiritual feast" seem to be anticlimactic?
Billy, you wrote: " After a rather stressful week, this has been a valuable reminder that I've made the right decision to get far away from WT."
Was this ever in doubt this week? Hope you are ok, man. There's NO question whatsoever that getting out of the WT Corporation was the right thing to do. It's hard to believe you could or would doubt this at this point which leads me to think that I probably misinterpreted what you wrote though.
the new [revised] nwt (n-nwt) apparently has simplified, contemporary language that can be understood by the people of today (with 13% less clutter, and fewer references to kidneys) who are now contemporaries of the 1914 generation.
i can only imagine some of the newly revised passages (starting with a conversation between adam and eve after the big oopsie).i know the pdf version will be online soon.
i do wonder about the full searchable version on jw.org and when that will go live.
Awesome posts, gentlemen. The ridiculousness of all of this is clearly not lost on our community here at JWN. Too bad so many of those still in can't see it all for what it is.
I cry for you Argentina.

i will be receiving calls from folks over the next couple days or seeing crap on facebook.
the key to pulling this off will involve being 100% serious and believing it yourself.. plan - make a big big deal over the new light that the end will occur in this millenium, and immediately point out that this is huge news as a date hasn't been pushed since 1975.. .
why - first off you use this as a way to bring in 1975 and tarnish the agm with that debacle.
Ha!
hello, .
will anyone be posting live updates via twitter or on jwn during the agm?
cheers, .
Bobcat, wow...just wow!
OTWO - I hadn't seen that commercial. One can almost imagine such a scene. Sure, it was a bit exagerrated or over the top, but it gave me a good giggle to think of the AGM and the eagerness of those present. Loved that vid!

Ooooh, I didn't think about the prohibition against using electronic devices. So cultish! Ick and double ick.
Maybe someone can record it covertly and post? Too bad we won't get any live tweets or live blogging though. :((((

well... not yet (it was just a thing that was bugging my brains today).
do you remember as a child or teenager that every time we preached and asked when it would stop the answer would be: "till jehovah tells us it is no longer necessary"?.
the amount of literature is dropped... there are no old bibles... they sell all kind of keylocations all across the globe etc etc etc ... all money is getting centered to one spot one way or another.. also... if shit is gonna happen worldwide (maybe a "normal" world war or something) it is actually not a strange thought that one day soon they may announce something like the following:.
It's all about busy work, keeping them obedient, and CONTROL.
here is my introduction letter.
my jw and biological sister is getting married this weekend and 3 weeks ago i received a letter actually uninviting me to this showy display.
i was stunned to say the least.
OTWO wrote: " Maybe others help will be a bit better." Not likely. OTWO nailed it.
Freedom2beme: Welcome! There's some good advice here. I couldn't possibly improve on anything OTWO wrote. Reread his post. Truly excellent advice.
