" It particularly seems petty to exclude wheelchair users and those with very poor sight or hearing..." sure it does; it's a bid to create an idealized, sanitized, upscale image of what they hope to sell to the local media, and also to local JWs -- as the typical JW demographic.... pure fiction.

by BluesBrother inbritish dubs are invited to attend a special convention next summer in dublin , irish republic.
o k, this kind of trip has been done many times before.

... I've often wondered what's the percentage of the Bible's more than 31,000 verses that comprises the JWs core beliefs? "All scripture is inspired of God and beneficial," but some are more equal than others!

Bizarre statement in April 2012 Awake
by dozy inas books go, it is tiny, but it is immeasurably great in its essence.
it can be carried in ones pocket,but if it were found in a library of 90,000 different books, it would probably turn out to be the most important one of them all.. wow a strong endorsement of the bible?
er no this is the wtbts we are talking about here.

Hmm.... are they really touting a 20-year old book? Are they so incapable of writing anything new of spiritual interest they have to recycle it? Or maybe they just discovered large numbers of the book languishing somewhere in a corner of their storehouse....

and on and on it goes, study article after study article, foisting a totally unnatural, unappealing lifestyle on the flock, behavior manipulation via guilt, fear, mind-numbing repetition and bogus uber-phony "real-life examples" of JWs turning their backs on a normal life ... it seems they've all but abandoned the publishing of study articles on doctrinal issues and/or prophecy that were so frequent 30 or do years ago..

Gave 5 JW's Something to Think About at a Starbucks Today
by flipper ini was having coffee at a starbucks located in a supermarket chain in one of the towns i work in my business .
while sitting there doing paperwork , what looked like 3 elders on their field service break sat at a table no more than 4 feet from me .
after eavesdropping it was obvious they were elders as they were talking about the c.o.

You gotta love how the practice of copping out of door-to-door in favor of coffee time -- while counting through it all -- has become so ingrained in current JW culture.

GB Stridency: Nudge, Nudge, Wink, Wink Doesn't Work Anymore
by metatron incurrently, it often seems like everything that comes from the glorious masters of time and space (aka 'the governing body that couldn't shoot straight') sounds like it would be printed in capital letters if it was part of an email (very annoying).. which tells you that:.
the old 'nudge, nudge, wink, wink' style of watchtower command and control ain't working anymore.
wha' happened?
