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?
"This was the perfect opportunity for them to acknowledge the 2014 anniversary and offer reassurance."- COFTY
Actually, they kind of did acknowledge this. I believe after Pierce (the video was out at this point) announced the new year's text, he said how appropriate it was for the 100th anniversary of the birth of the kingdom.
If you can't run or hide from your stupidity, embrace it!
1 1/2 hour into the agm and my impression so far .......dullsville........a dud!.
right now bro herd is interviewing old timers who remember back in the 50's 1st releases of nwt of the bible..
The new font is quite easy on the eyes and readable. The leather cover has a nice feel to it.
Otherwise, the meeting was a bit of a letdown for me. I wanted more craziness á la last week's WT.
Oh well.
hi dave!.
long time no see.
just added up the years since i last saw you.
Wow! Two great posts.
On the eve of this super-special anal meeting, thank you BELBAB!
They would never call it "tithing" just like their "rapture" isn't the Rapture and their Churches are "Kingdom Halls."
Maybe they'll call tithing "Involuntary Kingdom Contributions"
- 23 day to go .. annual meeting unofficial rumors.
- new bible.
- new nwt (revision).
Well, here's my final predictions for the meeting (for whatever it's worth.) Can't wait to see what happens Saturday!
1) New Bible (of course) but it will not be called the New World Translation anymore. May be renamed something like the "Divine Name Bible"
2) We need more money and free labor. A form of tithing will be instituted, but it won't be called tithing.
3) Some new and absolutely batshit crazy nonsense trying to re-reinterpret a past doctrine that no one even cares about. Probably won't mess with the 144k, as it was just mentioned at the WT study last week.
recieved this email a few days ago, it reads like a typical jw chain email that gets forwarded around.
but it almost sounds like something the writing dept would start circulating as fiction propaganda...... .
subject: warwick experience.
Thus, they see fit to use the “foolish things of the world”
The writer has yet to realize how true this statement is!
CAUPON - welcome, and good for you! You're way ahead of the game.
please share how your wt study went today...
No idea How today's study "went"
Was at home farting around.
the audio file is 1 hour 28 minutes in total.
the first hour is the panel speaking, and the remaining 28 minutes is the questions from journalists.. here is the link.... http://192.185.44.220/media/13austin/podcast/06%20precon_%20the%20continuing%20story%20pf%20clergy%20abuse%20beyond%20roman%20catholics.mp3.
candace conti in particular did an amazing job, and the comments from the journalists show how appreciative they were of her bravery in speaking out on such a personal issue.. bill was also informative with some of the firsthand accounts he was able to give.. .
This was very good, thank you CEDARS.
i heard about coursera but in today's new york times there was an article about massive online courses offered by universities.
the three above universities started free courses before coursera.
as i scrolled down the course list, i noticed that a course in paul's writings is offered soon.
Cool! Thanks for the info.
