They claim that you are a cause of stumbling to the congregation.
It has been my observation that this is the "fall back" excuse always used to hang a person with anything the eldurrs wish to.
it's been a long way coming.
after 49 years as a jehovah's witness 3 of which in prison as a conscientious objector under very harsh conditions i have finally disassociated myself.
for the past 2 years, i have been partaking from the emblems and that led to an intense persecution, harassment, online stalking and defamation of character.

All invitations to private events are implied invitations and can be revoked for any reason.
Except that conventions ARE NOT private events. They are open TO THE PUBLIC, as in the useless busy work of spending weeks ahead of time slipping thousands of invitations into the doors of THE PUBLIC. Nice try though.
my mother in law told us this morning that they read a letter in her cong last night.
from now on kh doors will be locked after 15 min of meeting start.
only the fire exit (one way door) will remain unlocked.
If they want to lock the doors of KH during meetings for security reasons, then what the heck are those legions of angels doing ?
Getting the BBQ ready for when AM III turns people into human hot-dogs?

The governing body seem to be upping the paranoia levels of its victims.
I believe that this is more true, than not. Remember the "Obey instructions even if they do not seem practical" B.S.? This is just grooming the sheep to get them ready for the slaughter. In packing plants the animals going to their deaths know what is about to happen so they are forced down the alley way with no way to turn back until the stun-bolt kills them.
If you’re not there on time and they lock the doors, then you’re dead meat just like in the days of Noah.
I got that line from an eldurr. Because of a still-in very elderly parent who want to be at the KH for meetings I take that parent to the meetings. Because of their situation we are always late. The elder said it is up to me to make my elderly parent go faster and be on time because, "When God shut the door of t he ark no one could get in, and HE will eventually shut the door of the KH right on time." Sorry bast--d!
this is my 192nd post, so i thought it'd be fitting to ask a somewhat banal question which i've occasionally pondered over the years.
does anyone know what's behind the wt's penchant for 192-page books?
is there some kind of logistical reason for this?
Years ago I heard it had to do with the way they were printed and bound also. In multiples of 32 (the mags) It was a bundle of six 32 page bundles. So as DOYKL mentioned it had to do with the way they were bound.
whether you like him or not.... it doesn’t matter.
do you think he will be impeached?
?.
The left may try, but they are
did you see the performance of stephen lett on august broadcasting?.
the illustration of painting the kingdom hall?.
used for explaining that you have to listen to elders even when they are totaly wrong?.
What about Abraham questioning god...
Well the governing body has placed themselves at least equal to, if not higher than God.
Hilarious. I believe every time I hear about that Rubber Face Lett's paint brush analogy jw video I will say something about how "contagious" the my appreciation for it is. I would bet not a single Dubbie gets the reference.
for shits and grins, i looked at an online sunday meeting a few days ago on youtube.
i was in disbelieve on just how silly everything looks with the watchtower reader reading from his little iphone and the watchtower conductor holding up his iphone to ask the questions.
then the conductor asked the reader to read a bible verse and of course, he reads from his little phone.
....and what would they do when there is no power during The Great Tribulation lol
During one of my several stints on Jay Double You Talk under a pseudonym I made that observation. The silly cultists replied that Jehovah would see to it that batteries did not wear out or go dead, just the Jews sandals in the wilderness. Stupid idiots all of them!

Do they still say "Let's turn in our Bibles to....?
Not where I still have to go for a still in very elderly parent. It is, "Let's open our tablets to..." Of course I refuse to use electronic gadgets, and I refuse to use the Bible itself either anymore as long as the pompous windbag on the platform cannot be bothered to use one!
