ok, it's time.
we've had opportunity to observe the 8 gb members speaking ability.
now it's our turn to give our honest ratings...using their own form, of course!
I don't know how a speaker can interpret his own talk. I would have thought it was the listener that does that.
Personally, I give most of them a plus or minus C except for Splane, who gets a B.
The other surprising aspect regarding the talk rating is their failure to rate any speaker regarding their ability to clearly and effectively discuss scripture.
do you have the facts?.
page 3 - as true christians, we need to develop the ability to evaluate information and reach accurate conclusions.. page 4 - it is especially important to avoid (view) websites promoted by apostates.
(awakened jw's) their whole purpose is to tear down (inform) god’s people and to distort (reveal) the truth.
Page 6 Our emotions...could begin to govern our thinking.
This is why their broadcasting is their new powerful tool. Not one monthly broadcast passes by without tears shown and emotion used to manipulate.
As for getting the facts, it's almost impossible to get all the facts from this organization when they choose to hide so much.
he hasn't been in the limelight before, so here's his debut:.

That's good, now Mark Sanderson has a mate.
we recently haven't heard much here about the caleb and sophia cartoon series.. is it still running?
or have the gb realised how pathetic they are?.
St George, I think that was made over 7 months ago and is referred to here -

St George, was that 2017?
this may be a plot point in a novel i'm working on.
will a judicial committee take testimony from a df'd or da person?
i could see them wanting to get dirt from any possible source, on the other hand i can picture somebody saying "he's df'd everything he says will be a lie.
many have said that jesus never shunned anyone.
yet it seems that the apostle paul said to shun an unrepentant sinner, "stop keeping company" and "not even eating with such a man" 1co 5:9-12. it seems like shunning is what paul wanted us to do.
but honestly, it doesn't seem right to me.
JWfacts.com gives a good all round view on the matter.
It is to be expected that someone who is not complying with the membership rules of an organization should be stripped of his membership. The Watchtower goes to extremes from the very first step, dobbing people in through to the secret, unrecordable three committee JC then disfellowshipping even when someone has stopped sinning and shunning.
well i got to waste another day.
for the sake of still in family i attended the circuit assembly.
they say a joy shared is doubled, and a burden shared is halved.
Nothing new then? It must be so hard to stay awake but I guess that's what the organization wants. You can be more susceptible to suggestions if you're tired.
FedupJW, I don't know how you do it and thanks for the summary.
in perth western australia the watchtower have sold a kingom hall to hindus for $2 million aust dollars and they have a second one up for sale in the same area embleton .
The Halls are within 2.1 miles of each other and in an area that has been growing in the number of residents living there. Areas close to Capital Cities in Australia are becoming high density. What were once reasonable sized blocks with one house are being split into blocks with two or three residences as land becomes more valuable.
the video invitation for the 2018 convention is just creepy.
i thought it was some parody at first as it seems 'dark'.it begins with a young man being pushed whilst standing at his locker and the voice over says that 'in critical times we need courage more than ever'.
next, comes a clip of a male putting his hand on the shoulder of a female worker, the look she gives him would be enough to give him nightmares for the next year.

There are so many more serious incidences that require real courage. For instance, many of the victims of child abuse within this organization.
