This is a fascinating discussion. Are any of the projections from this discussion thread correct? I guess we will soon find out. I hope to stick around long enough to see.

I remember not standing for the national anthem as a JW. I was a SOB and is one of the few things I regret in my life. Now, it is hard to stand for the national anthem without shedding a few tears. I love this country and am embarrassed by my past action.

In the last 20 years How Many Changes Have Occurred in Watchtower Beliefs?
by minimus injehovah's witnesses say that they have the truth and the truth is constant.
they believe that what they teach is the truth that comes directly from jehovah god.
can you think of anything that has changed in the last 20 years to show a jehovah's witness that the truth is not necessarily the truth..

You can take blood as long as it is chopped into very small pieces.
Also, what is the status of the resurrection of Sodom and Gomorrah? The fate of these fine people has flipped a few times over the past 20 years.

I didn't see anything in the outline about Jesus being Michael the archangel. Do they still believe that?

Since the speaker in the video recording will demonstrate how to develop an outline and
effectively teach from it, each elder and ministerial servant who serves as a public speaker
should carefully review the special talk outline, the Ministry School book, pages 52-55, and Reminders
for Those Assigned Public Talks (S-141) before the talk is presented in the congregation.
During the presentation, analyze how the speaker draws attention to the theme, how he uses the
Bible as the basis for his talk, and how he teaches directly from the Scriptures. Also, observe
how the speaker applies some of the teaching methods that will be discussed in the Kingdom
Ministry School for the 2018 service year.I have never seen a more obscene example of micromanaging. Ugg!

"The purpose of reporting field service time is for encouragement"
by HereIgo ini was told this when i was an aspiring jw, aka unbaptized publisher.
the above explanation didn't make sense to me then and it never did make sense throughout my jw career.
over time, it appeared to me the real purpose of field service time reporting was to gauge one's spirituality and for the ceo *cough* co to make sure the elders were on top of things during his visit..

The result of reporting time is coercive control over the r&f.
Reporting time serves no purpose other than to identify slackers within the congregation.

"See, I told you so!!"
by stuckinarut2 ina thought occurred to me that most humans (whether they like to admit it or not) love to take a firm and proud stance on something, and love to be able to say to others "see, i told you so!".
this arrogance creates a proud and determined mindset to make people dig their heels in on a stance they have taken - all in the hope that they can one day be proven right, and therefore prove someone else wrong.. so it is with most witnesses.
they are so desperate to be proven correct after all they have invested in their faith, and they have a keen desire to say "see i told you so!".

On my tombstone I will write:
"See I told you so; I really was sick." or "See I told you so, I am not going to live forever."
