I believe they are at the beginning of the end of their rope. That is why we see these extremely manipulative convention videos. The manipulation is only going to get worse. They have nothing else to use. They are doing whatever they can to keep the cult members in fear and afraid to look at what the world has to offer.

They are increasingly appealing to emotion
by cookiemaster inthey always have but lately, they've taken it to a whole new level.
the new convention video about the end, the many videos at conventions and meetings, the new songs, all highly emotionally manipulative.
and they're working.

CO asked for everyone 20 years old & younger for a group photo
by LevelThePlayingField inthere was a co visit in ohio a couple weeks ago.
when he was finishing up his sunday talk he said that he would like if "all the children that are from this congregation, not if you're just visiting, but from this congregation to come on up on the stage right after the meeting because i want to get a picture of you.".
i thought to myself, why?

Maybe the COs do that to encourage and convince themselves that there are still some young people left in the cult.

law enforcement officials in birobidzhan, russia, a small town close to the border with china, raided 20 homes belonging to jehovah’s witnesses, according to members of the religious organization.. the raids were conducted by around 150 police officers, who nicknamed their operation “judgement day,” jarrod lopes, a member of the jehovah’s witnesses, told newsweek.
police confiscated photographs, bank cards, money and electronic devices from the houses they searched, said lopes.. a criminal case was opened against a man named alam aliev, who will be kept in pretrial detention until july, members of the religious group said.

It's so sad that brainwashed cult members will sacrifice everything for their leaders. They are willing to be persecuted to the highest degree because of their false beliefs. If they only realized it's ALL FOR NOTHING.

Beliefs and life after disfellowshipped
by AlexPancho init is normal for a person to review their beliefs, especially after such a traumatic event as disfellowshipped.i think that many here do not believe that god is leading jehovah's witnesses.. someone does not believe in god at all.i think it is good when we can be free in our views, no matter how much they are, without the pressure from any organization that teaches us to "true" believe.so, now i read many books on the history of the bible text and found that there is no foundation to be sure that at least one true words after 500-year history of rewriting has reached us.
if you wont find more info about this - googledbart ehrman book or nestle-alland new testament, where every words have many variant.for start read thisi read grat biological works, as dawkins "great show on the earth" and other (into russian lang) and i do not have any reason believe into creation.but, i still belive ino any abstract god-like force, without any "book based" reason.what do you believe in today?
why?please do not condemn each other's faith - we have gone through a rather difficult path..

Hola Alex,
I sure as hell don't believe in the homicidal, jealous, hatefull, innocent killing god called jehovah in the fiction book the bible. When you look at it from a non-religious view you come to the conclusion that that god is big time nuts!
Religions are just another way to keep people busy and make maniacs out of them.

I believe they would. It's not only the gb's retirement fund but also all of their helpers future pensions also depend on it. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Hmmm wonder if they would still provide as all those texts mention, if none of those old timers had the finances to pay. NOT. Hypocrites.

Interesting in that if he was helping in two congregations, he must have been well trusted by the CO to be a good elder. So much for that. I guess the holy spirit screwed up again.
