Nothing was mentioned at the District Assembly about helping make the World a better place
Excellent observation. In fact, I don't believe I have ever heard "making the world a better place" mentioned at any meeting or assembly.

Where In the Bible Does It Say To Hate People Who Leave The Organization? Apostates and the District Convention Theme of Hating Them!
by AuntConnie ini am back from bakersfield and i can say it was the best district convention ever!
the end is coming soon, a few of the annointed were speaking about 2014 possibly being the year that jehovah would destroy all the hateful apostates!
the focus of this convention was not on love or the message of the good news of the kingdom.

I think I was an atheist for a long time before I realised it.
Pretty much what I'm thinking now. . . I also think that what I admired about "spirituality" was "seeing below the surface". . . . But now I realize the depth you can go without beleif in the supernatural, and it's a far more fulfilling experience. -

Dialogue from a 'proJW' website:
POSTER #1:
Dang, that could get expensive if all we have are the Reference Bibles and leather bound bibles.
POSTER #2:
I thought so too. Especially if those are also the same bibles we place with people.
But maybe we'll be encouraged strongly to contribute to the printing costs. I hope they'll mention how much it costs to produce them, that would give us an idea.
And maybe we'll be encouraged to make sure never to forget to mention the donation ( or is it contribution?) arrangement especially when placing bibles.Yeah, how better raise some cash in the electronic publishing age. . . . .

All apostates should order ten copies and donate no money. It could bring this sucker down!
Yes! I like this idea!

I agree with JULIA ORWELL. This will be "The Bible For Dummies," but with a few twists and turns which enhance their power and control, e.g. replacing "loose conduct" with the even looser "brazenness" etc. . . .
The guise that "theez yung kidz deez dayz no comprendo hard biblewords" makes as much sense as cancelling the ever-important Bookstudy because gas is expensive.
Bullshit.
The reason the bible can't be understood isn't because it isn't translated perfectly, it's BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE A LICK OF SENSE!
(Sorry believers!)
Anyway, even if you do believe the bible is god's word, why in the hell would you need a brandy-new translation when the end is soooooooo close?

Letter From My Mother: Moire insane Watchtower Rhetoric

I do remember hearing something like that YEARS ago.
That's up there with, "Yeah, so-and-so was sooooo smart, he thought himself right out of the Truth!"
Evidently, this is my problem, too!

Welcome DEMOKAN!
At 15, you've got a great headstart on life. Research all you can on the religion you were raised to know as the "truth".
You seem to have a good head on your shoulders; you'll figure it out.
