_Morpheus: He made it sound like something related to broadcasting and "sharing the good news". More crap to push from a tablet probably
You know what would blow my mind but wouldn't be surprising considering all the recent changes? An actual JW Broadcasting channel on DirecTV or Dish Network, or some sh!t like that.
some time back, i was listening to sara lazar, a neuroscientist at massachusetts general hospital and harvard medical school, one of the first scientists to take the anecdotal claims about the benefits of meditation and mindfulness and test them in brain scans..
that day i thought i should test meditation myself.
though i reaped many benefits (physiological and mental) over a period, what i want to share with you is the spiritual benefit i got.
i went to the convention this past weekend in cleveland with my wife and son.
most of the session was the status quo, but here are some of observations that i believe are worth noting: .
1. i did not see a lot of jw.org advertisements and the website was not mentioned a whole lot during the session.
blondie: I think they read the accounts report at the KH when there is a deficit... that's how they do it in our hall, at least. Otherwise, they just post it to the information board.
Oh, and don't you dare call it a bulletin board!

@ cappytan:
Approximately how many were there on Saturday for the baptism? In Cleveland, there were about 6,500 on Saturday and only 31 were baptized. Another interesting thing that I noticed during the baptismal talk were the video interviews. That is new.
There were 6,300+, if I recall correctly.
At our baptism talk, the interviews were in-person...on stage.

god announces plans to slowly wean humans off religion.
the heavenssaying that the various belief systems had a good run over the last few millennia but that it was probably time for humans to get by on their own, the lord our god, he who is seen and unseen, proclaimed monday that he would begin slowly weaning humanity off religion.
religion was definitely helpful for humans when they first started out, but now it seems like its pretty much served its purposetime to take the training wheels off, said god, who argued that while the transition from religion might be difficult for a large segment of the population, ultimately humankind would be better off without it in the long run.

DOC is right. They don't read accounts reports at conventions.
However, at our's over the weekend, they did have an announcement about the "opportunity for all to express their generosity at the various contribution boxes and debit card stations throughout the facility."
so i just smoked a cigar, then came back into the office to wash it down with some bourbon... for whatever reason i was telling cappy what i smell like now, here is the list, please add your own .
fmf: .
i smell like an old leather chair in a civl war era library .
for decades before leaving, i always found this contradiction so hypocritical, and one of the harshest, emotionally damaging, things that this cult does to its young.
