recently it seems very quiet in jw land.. jw broadcasting has been in full swing for months now, nobody bats an eye lid at that anymore.. so the question is, what is next?
the next organisation change, the next doctrine change.
it seems like this is the quiet before the storm.. the way things are going, it's almost like they try and one up their last change, things in jw land get that bit more crazy every year.. i'm hedging my bets toward a monthly public talk broadcast straight from new york.
I agree, why would all KH be expected to get all that projector equipment for just once or twice a year?
They have been given a lot of time to implement all the changes, then in Oct AGM they will announce starting Jan 2016 once a month. That's my prediction anyway.
This is the point when i will start to "joke" to people that this religion has become like a cult. I've held off using the C word with friends and family so far.

Yeah, i'm kind of expecting tithing coming in some time.
a bit like how they now believe the rapture, but don't call it the rapture.
They will make up a new name for tithing.
Yeah, a RC style WT study beamed straight from Cult headquarters every month. The R&F would eat that shit up.
Maybe they will make a new meeting every month, where everyone has to watch the broadcast. At the moment it's an unofficial thing a lot of congs do, but if the GB make it a compulsory meeting every month, it will defiantly weed out the dissenters and fence sitters.
i'm curious.
what do you know from your own experience and talking to other active jws?
i know from my own informal, non-scientific survey that most jws do not watch jw.tv.
For what it's worth, I've heard a few uber dubs criticizing it recently. Elders and pioneers.
For what it's worth....
it had been raining and i could smell the pine trees nearby.
god wasn't necessary.
the clouds cleared and the sunlight blazing from above paid out a bonus in the puddles at my feet.
If there is a God, i'm sure he understands why i think he's not there.
He knows everything after all.

I don't think 1914 will change for a while.
What do you guys think will happen come the October 2015 AGM?
heard a lot buzz for our upcoming convention.
those that already been were saying how great it was and all the videos that were presented.. well, thus far not impressed!
in fact many times pure insanity!
3 Days i'll never get back.
Shit waste of time.
the elders did not stay long and it wasn`t an official visit sanctioned by the boe/cobe because they were not from my (ex)congregation.
we talked a little about my situation and the fact that my wife does not talk to me and how non-scriptural her behavior is.. then they mentioned the rc and how it was the best convention for the last 20 years.
one thing they did mention was the fact that the borg was clearly preparing them for persecution.
Why do witnesses say that about the conventions being better than the last.
I know, for a fact, that this years was more shit, than say, 10 years ago. At least 10 years ago it resembled the religion i got baptized it.
how great to see amiii stating @ tv.jw.org that the watchtower society was the first institution addressing child abuse in a time others were naive about this typical behavior of gay's.
the 1982 awake magazine is such a spectacular example about adressing the problem that they decided to erase it from their digital archives.
will amiii tell the judge that "watchtower" has not any control about him?
It's funny, I've heard a lot of uber dubs mocking Mr.Lett lately. Mocking his facial expressions and manner of speech. I'm quite surprised.

j.w.org flags flying at the 2015 r.c.
in fribourg, switzerland..
WTF is this shit?
This ranks higher than the bible baptism pools in japan last year.
Disillusioned is my new favorite word. People will be hearing that word a lot from me in the future.
i noticed that anthony morris iii just said on the broadcast: "while we cannot control everything that an individual might say, it is clear that over the decades protecting children from abuse is a top priority for this organization.".
that, in my opinion, is a direct response to the richard ashe "spiritual protection not physical protection" deposition.. here's a video putting the two statements side by side.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgevpuyn7gy.
