I personally would not feel safe to attend one of these conventions. it is clear from the kingdom hall bombing in Australia in 1985 that divine protection is not going on with regard to these kinds of events. Perhaps if a serious incident occurs, the WTS will reconsider the wisdom of holding these large events in today's world!

132017 Conventions
by Maryo inin view of the terrorist attacks going on in the world right now, as well as the high degree of animosity towards jehovah's witnesses as a result of their shuning practices, etc., i think it would be wise for the wts to discontinue meeting for large conventions and use live streaming and broadcasts instead.
even with the increased security measures being put in place this year, it would not be surprising if some incidents take place.
has anyone heard any talk in this regard?.

S-77 disfellowshiped or disassociated form
by Paul Bonanno ini would like to obtain a copy of the form used by the elders to inform the branch office when a person is disfellowshiped or disassociated the s- 77.. the form needs to be the one used in 1994 preferably printed in uk..

I would like to know when this form began to be used. I disassociated around 1981. I wonder if there is such a form in some office in New York about me! I suppose the WTS considers these forms confidential and that it is not possible for a person to get a copy of the form about his/her disfellowshipping/disassociation.

Will Bro. Rogers be DF'd posthumously for drug addiction?
by ShirleyW insome have been df'd for suspicion of smoking cigarettes, yet bro.
rogers death is because of an addiction, fentanyl is what they are saying is the drug that did him in which was reported on the news as being more potent than heroine.
why is it that some nosy sister can report you because someone who looked like you was in the parking lot the same time as she was, yet bro.

Perhaps the WTS will re-assess its policies around prescription drug use after this. I think it remains to be seen whether the fentanyl was prescribed for Prince or whether he obtained it in some other manner.

Many Germany JWs during WWII found great disappointment how the Watchtower didn't help them in any way while in concentration camps. The Watchtower only degraded many of those that came out of the camps and how many left the 'truth' and became 'materialistic.'
Please give more details about this, Gayle!

"The Bunker" WT Conventions 2016 (Gag Me)
by Poztate inin the very near future the gang will be down in a bunker,cellar awaiting the police,military to break in and take them away to camps or executions .
(paranoid much) this is the foretold "prophecy" of the governments turning on religion and saving them for last.since the couple portrayed as simplifying their life by getting rid of a lot of material things is shown to be (about) the same age in the bunker we know it must be any minute now that it will happen.
i have been out for over 35 years and things seem to be getting more bizarre each year.. when did this doctrine really become main stream?

Is there a complete video of this bunker material available? I saw the first part ... it is removed now. I would like to see the last part about where the authorities come to get those in the bunker! -

Prince and addictive drugs…a possible loophole?
by Londo111 inaccording to the elder's rulebook, there is this addendum in the chapter on the grounds for judicial committee and the section: "misuse of addictive drugs":.
please note: the use of addictive drugs under medical supervision, such as for pain management, would not necessarily require judicial review.
when questions arise, consult with the branch office.. .

Taking anti-depressants would certainly make the teachings/lifestyle of JWs more pallatable!
