  2018 Regional (District) Convention Outlines

  by AverageJoe1 in

  so the official program is out but does anyone have access to the actual outlines for the assembly this year in english and/or spanish?.

  maybe the gb are clamping down on their "high-up" leaks within the organisation and the circuit overseers making these available have been kicked or had to no longer leak material for fear of getting themselves discovered by the wt gestapo..

  EMDR Therapy Anyone?

  two+ months into marital counseling for my wife (pimi) and i (pimo).

  wife after decades of marriage decides for the first time to bring up separation due to, drum-roll please...... absolute endangerment of spiritual life.

  a spouse may constantly try to make it impossible for the mate to pursue true worship or may even try to force that mate to break god’s commands in some way.

  If she points to the Bible as her ultimate authority, then just show her 1 Corinthians 7:13 - as The Fall Guy suggested. Otherwise i can only extend my deepest sympathies - i am only nineteen, so i do not have that much experience with such matters. I do however know how it is to loose ones family, and even though they are still pimi, it breaks my heart almost daily not being able to have a "normal" relationship with them. Keep fighting, as long as possible.

  Best regards

  This is just sad. Cant even get myself to laugh at it. I was 17 when i sat down and used my biology book and the internet to debunk the validity of Noah and his ark, including the idea of a global flood. Too late in my opinion, but better late than never. I suppose this is what happens when you only use the Bible to do "research".

  Apparently the giving of "judgement messages" is not a theoretical scenario

  by GTSfromSY in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember when the (in)famous "bunker videos" were releases there was some non-witness exposure on a few sites and most of them commenting on how scary and very culty it sounded and all the idiotic wt apologist were quick to point out that it was "only theoretical", "it's possible it could happen like that" and other assorted flavors of steer manure.. well apparently not so because i just sat through the upcoming convention videos, and review footage of the last assembly, watch the last two months worth of "meetings" (*vomit*) and studied up on all the recent new wt releases and all the talk being throwing around now is all on some gog of magog this, judgement messages this, judgement messages that, "we're about to get persecuted!!!

  ; some of us are going to die; the nations are about to turn against us even in developed countries; blah blah blah.

  even the recorded baptismal talk i heard from the last assembly had a speaker that was telling the suckers....er...i mean the baptismal candidates to be willing and expect possible death, and to a good number of young preteen people i may add (outrageous!!!).

  Falcon Heavy

  by Coded Logic in

  2. current

  the falcon heavy is set to launch today.

  if successful, it will become the most powerful rocket in use (twice as powerful as the delta heavy).. as it's the very first attempt, elon musk has said he thinks there's a 50/50 chance of it not blowing up.

  so should be interesting.

  Questions from readers: Pillow talk

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i can't believe they came out with this.... question from readers: should a youth who struggles with masturbation sleep with a pillow?.

  you young people know that it is wise to make such restrictions, especially during "the bloom of youth.

  " (1 corinthians 7:36).

  It seems that it will become a long process. I sincerely hope that they will get the justice they deserve.

  End times "too late for you now" witnessing?

  by CitizenofEarth in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hello there.. i've heard it several times from different people while i was growing up, as well seen some people talk about it here on the forum.

  the subject is the jw belief that a time will come before the end where they will change the message that jesus talked about, to one of damnation, where the world will be told something along the lines of "it is too late now".

  do any of you have references to jw litterature where they write this?

Do any of you have references to JW litterature where they write this? And what are your thoughts. I think it is abhorrent and extremely arrogant. Not that that is something to be surprised about from JW doctrines. I would, however, be surprised if the majority of JW followed this if the GB wanted them to suddenly, as it is so blatantly against the message Jesus tried to convey.

  I doubt it is fake since both of them are GB helpers - Ralph Walls and Gary Breaux. Why would Cedars release a fake one, it would only hurt his credibility. Or am i missing something? I don't know - i guess well see the 27th. And how would they fake that, it is clearly not dubbed. Just my take on it.
