Rare Posting, Could you post the Time of the Monthly JW Broadcast where crazy things are said?

i do not know what it is about the monthly broadcasts that are making me feel they have watered down their message and talk at us like were stupid fools.

they prep each month for these broadcasts, why can't the gb speak on the level, not talking down at us like we are all infants?

the pitch, pace and tone of each monthly talk is weird, so there are many of us who can't handle watching this trash entirely.

Poster country flags and privacy
by Simon in
1. forum
2. announcements
the new forum originally had a little country flag next to each post showing the country that the post was made from based on the geoip encoding (the country the ip address is from).

before i switched over to the new site someone made an issue about it violating their privacy and i didn't want to complicate and confuse the switchover with policy debate at the same time as technical issues so removed the flags even though i disagreed.. someone has already requested it as a feature and i think it should be added back so i thought it's now time to open the discussion and get everyone's opinions.

first, the reason i think it should be shown:.

memories!

i remember a few years back being involved in the campaign work, and having the distinctly awkward experience of having to hand the householders this piece of sh1t tract "the end of false religion is near!"..

i recall the discomfort i had trying to get into a conversation about this nonsense.

1. jw
2. friends
i have heard rumblings that this has started up in some places.

i know there are some awakened elders on here who often provide good intel.

in light of all the juicy things that have happened in the last year, especially the conti case, i think many of us here are pining to hear any bit of news, so it would be much appreciated!.

first off, i can happily say that this year i did not attend a single day at this years district convention.. on saturday during the convention, my wife asked me to drop her off after lunch and later pick her up when the convention was over.

while i was dropping her off, i noticed a single individual holding picket signs protesting the convention.

it said things like, "was the ransom sacrifice worth it?

so i was da'd last september as a 'mentally diseased apostate'(tm) that the 'jehu elders'(tm) should 'slaughter'(tm) if the law of the land allows it.. i now get shunned in the street and i think it's so childish of the dubs to do so.

one family that shunned me was a family i bent over backwards to help them when they had to move house.

their loss...i won't help them again!.

"2012 D/A Insight 3" "WHY YOU SHOULD NOT BE ANGRY WHEN ELDERS ACCUSE YOU OF WICKED CONDUCT" Example Used Hannah!

2. beliefs
think about this tasty thought i learned today, i am using my own examples.

ponder please, the example they used as being the "annointed appointed of jehovah", that's the irony of the example the slave used.. .

after three months of missing meetings you decide to get your clothes together, you get dressed and leave for the kingdom hall.
