I'm guessing this booklet will be Friday afternoon's release, judging by the title of the closing talk.
I wonder too if anyone from the congregation will be bringing me a copy.

I notice that in the section under "Jehovah's Witnesses" in the part on the last days it still mentions that some that were alive in 1914 will still be alive to see the end of this system of things.
Therefore it must be very close!

Hi yodastar-
I am always interested in the new convention releases, especially books.
A sister from another cong sends me the magazines usually each month and gets copies of the new releases for me.
I am still interested in the society's printing operations and the new publications and magazines.
I don't read everything al;though I do look through them, some things still interest me.
I no longer believe in anything any more, which is sad. Since discovering the tatt I lost all faith and am not even sure if god exists, but if he does he does not care about us.
Anyway- I always look forward to the new releases.

This is not on jw.org yet. Neither is the convention program. Last year I printed it out in March. -

If they want to save a lot of money they should not have physical conventions. Just broadcast the convention at jw.org- and have the new releases sent to the congs the beginning of June.
Then everyone can watch the program from home (or at the kh if they don't have the internet) and they can save on traveling expenses etc and the society won't have to rent and clean the facilities.
The new publications can be made available at the kh beginning in early June or late May.
And hopefully I could still obtain copies without going to the meetings.

I hope everyone orders printed copies. Of course the gb hopes to reduce the number printed so they can save that money for their own purposes but I want to be able to get copies and I am not attending the convention.
A sister has been kind enough to get copies for me each year. I hope she will still be able to or I'll have to wait until the end of the year. Since I don't attend meetings I'll have to see if the sister can get copies then and send them to me.

Thanks for sharing this. It is not up yet on jw.org.
I wonder then if there will be a new book about Jesus released at the convention.

by lostinthought inforgive me if this has been posted already but this was in my local paper today.. http://m.recordonline.com/article/20150307/news/150309486/0/wap&template=wapart.
if you have time to read, this is an interesting article talking about watchtowers property in ulster and orange county ny and how much the properties are worth.
it also goes on to show how the tax exempt stays is hurting the communities..

Very interesting article. Thanks for the link!
It does not say how much the properties are worth but does mention school and other taxes Watchtower Farms voluntarily pays.

What did you become after leaving Jehovah's Witnesses?
by Garrett inhey guys,.
so, since my leaving i have been doing so much research on so many topics that it's been extremely enlightening.
not only have i learned a lot about the organization and what motivates it, but i have also learned a lot about the bible, god and most importantly, myself.. currently, i'm not quite sure where i stand, but i'm having some real issues with the bible and god.

After discovering the tatt I lost all faith and hope and lost interest in the bible.
I don't really believe in anything now, but I don't want a religion.But I feel like I lost my identity.
