SfPW - Watchtower spiritual food is nothing but a mirage in a spiritual desert. If it makes you feel good and satisfied, good for you, your participation here would suggest otherwise. Best wishes.

All hail the Governing Body and God's Corporation
by mindnumbed inan annual meeting is a legal requirement for a corporation.. the watchtower annual meeting (agm) is a legal event that has become the biggest spiritual event of the year, overshadowing what is supposed to be the most important event, the memorial of christ's death.. praise be to the governing buddies who sit on the throne of christ..

Hail to the Governing Buddies, the only non-inspired non-prophet prophets able to produce an accurate translation of God's word.

Seriously?
That's quite a rollout of revised publications, with all of the changes over the past several years it is certainly necessary, but wow.
(Ecclesiastes 12:12) 12 As regards anything besides these, my son, take a warning: To the making of many books there is no end, and much devotion [to them] is wearisome to the flesh.

"The excitement is PALPABLE"
by Separation of Powers ingot caught at the supermarket (in between the martini olives and snack crackers ) with several bottles of hard liquor in my basket along with some red licorice by a sister that has known me for years.
still respects me, not knowing that i am in full fade mode, or at least not recognizably knowing.
anyway, when she sees me, her eyes get all big and she heads in my direction, nearly ramming my liquor laden cart with her vegan oriented basket.. "hey sop, how are you doing?

Here in the U.S., I don't know about the invitation, but my wife is going and her husband is inactive and no longer a meeting attender and she does not match one criteria on St. George's list. Different rules for Americans I guess.

Annual Meeting Instructions to MS / Elders
by jw07 inhave any elders or ministerial servants here recieved any specific instructions regarding the annual meeting?
as an ms all i have been told to do is to arrive early to "await further instruction due to the sensitive nature of my assignment".
ironically all i can imagine after hearing that a few times is dispensing cyanide laced kool aid to attendees.

IMHO
It's a cult.
They are tired of apostates stealing their thunder and preempting their big announcements and new releases.
All the secrecy and big deal about the annual meeting will do wonders in making the rank and file feel important, that a little deal is a great big deal, and that the Organization is looking out for them in this time of the end.
They are trying to regain a semblence of control that they have lost in recent years.
Jesus wouldn't let demons announce him as messiah, this is the Org trying to do the same thing with opposers.

Combatting cult mind control by steven hassan
by goddidit inso i've been hearing a lot of good things about this book.
apparently, some of its readers were actual believing jws and it deprogrammed them.. i'm curious why they read it in the first place though, since jws are discouraged from reading anything outside their own literature.. i know a recent convert who i'd like to help.
i could buy him the book.

"Combatting Cult Mind Control" is good because it doesn't mention JW's but many JW's who have read it can see similar characteristics in their own religion.

How many Bible Students were preaching in 1919?
by Emery indoing some additonal research on the 1919 appointment.
they claim to be the only ones preaching at that time and i find it hard to believe that a few thousand russelites out weighed the global preaching work of christendom.
especially considering that what they were preaching from door to door at that time was false prophecy and now 95% abandoned.

Emery "... couldn't any church, organization, or religion make a similar claim?"
Sure. I'm just saying that you can show a Witness whatever you want, facts pretty much don't matter because the Organization has been so effective at conditioning the follower to accept that they are God's Organization.
