  Material such as the film at the end of this years convention confirms that I was right to take my kids out the religion

  by jambon1 in

  it’s quite affirming to see the horrific material that they’re serving up at the convention this year.

  aside from blatant homophobia, the scenes at the end of the convention that are discussed on another thread stoop to new levels of fear mongering.

  it seems to occur to nobody inside the organisation that this kind of material could trigger fear, deprsssion, anxiety, stress.

  Wow. . . I'm so sorry I watched that. . .

  Surprised it didn't say "A Leni Reifenstahl Production" at the end.

  Was not ever in that congregation, but recognize the name and am familiar with the Nicholson pedophilia scandal/crimes via my wife and her family.

  Last I heard, Nicholson was DFd for boinking some pioneer sister but has been attending meetings faithfully like a good JW.

  I agree with SCRATCHME. . . FB might be a better starting point.

  Interesting list, FRED. . .

  Never thought about it this way before seeing your list, but it is really fascinating how "apostates" are ranked higher than Satan/demons especially since Satan/demons are the original and most powerful apostates ever (according do JWs).

  Following from this, it's funny how JWs are told not even to look at/read/listen to apostate words; yet apostate words spoken by Satan himself are sprinkled throughout the bible. . . . .

  I'm most shocked that:

  1) they now report % increase/decrease (they used to report simply "% increase" with a "-" sign to indicate decrease

  2) No more 0s or _s but reporting to tenths of a percent e.g., -0.3 percent decrease rather than a _

  Why bother?

  284000 baptized in 2017

  by jw-verite in

  seen in the 03/2018 watchtower study :.

  "during the 2017 service year, more than 284,000 “rightly disposed” individuals symbolized their dedication to jehovah by water baptism.".

  No surprise if there's a bit of a spike this year in baptism/publisher numbers with all the political turmoil. The constant narrative in the news feeds right into JW's fears.

  I was thinking the same thing. My BIL has cut his working hours and is now pioneering as he believes Trump will somehow bring "the end."

  Not a huge fan of Trump myself, but I don't think that's gonna happen (and if it does it will have nothing to do with the bible/god/the great trib/armageddon/etc.).
