  The Smoke and Mirrors of the Annual Meeting

  by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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?

  The goal posts are really pretty far off now. But don't forget to keep saying "Any moment now..."

  For what it's worth, this is my take on the AGM

  as i was leaving the kh where i watched the meeting, i overheard several conversations, all to the effect that"what a great bunch of guys the gb is.

  " the sense of humor among them, the naturalness and ease they had while speaking, etc.. for that matter, i too, was impressed at how like able they seem to be and, believe it or not, the 3 1/2 hours went by fairly quickly, thank god!

  but as i think about it, i'm concluding that that was the main goal of the wide viewing of this event: to assure the rank and file that the gb, the men who are in charge of god's household, are a great bunch of guys.

  "Jehovah's people are most blessed on the Earth." (This one made the inner 14 year old boy in me giggle. They are most blessed on the Earth. As opposed to Uranus?)

  "The light is definitely getting brighter."

  There's been a lot of excitement kicked up over this newly, improved Watchtower Corp Bible. Will it bring any of us "back to the truth?"

  brazen conduct, dissensions

  by hoser in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as predicted by jwn loose conduct has been replaced by brazen conduct.

  galations 5:19 2 peter 2:2 .

  a catch all phrase for apostates.

  slimboy - if someone is "loose" that is often used sexually. Loose conduct (to me) indicates that they are sexually 'loose' FWIW. And good for them, I say!

  There has been so much written here on that topic yesterday and today. We've been talking about it almost non-stop. Everyone seems to have had something to say...even JWNers who aren't interested in the topic have piped up to say they aren't interested and couldn't give a rat's a*&.

  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.

  Adam: OMG, WTF Eve?!!

  by laverite in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  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.
