This has got to be the most underwhelming "Special Talk" in JW history...
There is absolutely nothing "special" about it... just the same run-of-the-mill babble that can be heard from any pulpit of any religion on the planet...
jw's are such a happy group .
let's see how this talk addresses the internal issues that we find within the jw's such as:.

i am 6th generation.
i have been out for a few years.. back story on the situation:.
i had a co come by while going door-to-door in the neighborhood.
an ex-bethelite (now an elder in a jersey congo usa) called me the other day and opened up to me about wanting to step down, mainly because he thought he was being a bit overwhelmed.
he mentioned that he spoke to the co about it and some of the socalled friends in the congo .
they put him on this guilt trip.
onthewayout wrote: of course, for quite awhile (and probably still), congregations have been viewing any relatively young (maybe under 50 or even 60) partakers as mentally unstable and watchtower ignores such people anyway and says they must listen to the elders.
is this correct?
ever since the emblem-takers were given emeritus status as members of the faithful and discreet slave, have they been relegated to standard membership?
if they believe that partakers are mentally unstable, then they shouldn't be serving alcohol to them... just saying...

yes, this comment was just made by the speaker today!:.
"if you find that you are lacking in joy or experiencing problems in life, this is evidence that jehovah's spirit is lacking or being blocked in your life".
i sat there thinking "are you kidding me brother?...
JK...Nope.... But the human brain is powerful. It can actually cause some narcissistic people to be absolutely certain that they are "spirit annointed" or that they are special recipients of "spirit flow", etc..
some posters here still attend jehovah's witness meetings.
my challenge to you is..... next time you see a parent beating a human child in public at the kingdom hall, when there are two witnesses - you and one other - call 911 or the police, and report the parent by name, for child abuse..
Are JW parents still required to take their restless kids to the spanking room in the back of the kingdom hall?
obviously they feel a window washer job is a job anyone can do anywhere in he world .
and makes great money, yea right.. so what are all those 'approved jobs?'.
add to the list of any and all building skills, cleaning type jobs.
1) Window Washer
2) Carpenter (if that profession still exists)
3) Electrician
4) Any semi-skilled trade that requires little education
why else would he constantly bring up "gay-inspired" clothing when speaking to such large audiences?.
nothing wrong with being gay.
but he should just come out of the closet already and stop all this stupidity... just saying.. .
Is it true that the latest elders school trashes "non-practicing homosexuals" in the congregation ?? If so, this explains a lot...
They have that figured out... Text each other and count these as RVs.
