Are they on their phones for the lyrics? Looks like many are reading it from the screens.
Gone are the songbooks of old.
in the new article about the international convention in manila, the picture of the crowd is pretty telling.

i haven’t been to a meeting in months.
just got a sympathy card in the mail from a “sister”.
i don’t know her beyond her face.
They might have had a part on the meeting about encouraging those you don't see at the meetings. She doesn't want to imply you are "bad" and maybe she's had stresses too so she took the "she must be having troubles" route. Or she's doing for the brownie points. I wouldn't stress over it. Only if she shows up at your door with an elder to "help" you would I be annoyed.
just looking at the pictures in tomorrow's wt study makes me think of the nightmares i used to have as a child.
and nowadays the pictures are sometimes more realistic, so for any who are truly mentally in, this has a terrible effect on them and even their life choices.
looking in as a pimo or pomo it seems almost comical that adults would believe in this sci-fi bible fan-fiction, but it's not funny when we remember that all ages of the r&f are being manipulated by the gb by these cheap and evil means.. .
If I were still a child and I saw those pictures - what would get me the most is the soldiers in the first picture. I would imagine them screaming in terror as they had no where to escape to. I would imagine it was me because I've always believed God would kill me too.
The WT is master manipulators of fear that they definitely want to implant into children s minds and any adults who may be on the fence. Those who are smug about being in the right - these pictures would be positive reinforcement that they will get their reward.

i dunno about you, but if i walked up to this display at an expo i'd be a little creeped out..
What airline is this?
seems like the genesis song jesus he knows me.. g.. https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/?applanguage=e#en/mediaitems/latestvideos/pub-jwb_201910_12_video.
Ahhh, I feel sad seeing everyone of them dressed like stepford followers. All smiles, spreading the idea that God approves of spending all that money on a branch building. I wonder if there is a sing a long for the Warwick place.

erikson's stages of psychosocial development include this fifth stage:.
"the fifth stage of erik erikson's theory of psychosocial development is identity vs. role confusion, and it occurs during adolescence, from about 12-18 years.
during this stage, adolescents search for a sense of self and personal identity, through an intense exploration of personal values, beliefs, and goals.".
I find it difficult in areas to be "myself" Growing up as a Jw, you were taught to look to others for the "right" thing to do. And if I did have a stray thought about what "should" be done, I'd always tell myself "well they must know what to do better than me"
I did experience when I was in my 30's, a real desire to dress differently and tint my hair wild colors and that was because I did leave the truth for a few years (although it didn't leave me) I was too good about conforming tho and didn't really do anything. I realized that you can't make the same mistakes that teenagers do when you're an adult, because the consequences are greater.
i read this recently in a stoics daily guide.. "the best way to avenge yourself is not be like that.
" written by marcus aurelius..
? Not to be vengeful?
think of how much time and money the tower stole from any who were in the cult.
think of the vacations as a child you could have taken with your families the memories you could have made instead of sitting in a hot bs week of echo talks and propaganda.
they stole so much from us.
I relate to the child in the video that wanted to play violin in a special class. I've wanted to be an artist since I was five, but the WT frowns on anyone doing "hobbies". I still do art and plan to get back into it but - The child when he is 60 and sees all those other children touring the world and has had a career in music and finds his fingers don't have the agility anymore . . . how sad is that?
Stolen creativity and enjoyment of life to support a money grubbing religion.
To me, that is evil.
Haha Know what's funny? On my Youtube home page because I watch animal shows, there is a new vid that has just shown up. "The most talented cat in the world is in Australia"
it's seems that even the revised edition of the book revelation: it's grand climax a hand was wrong again.. in the 2019 agm david splane "clarified our understanding of the prophecy recorded in joel 2".
clarified?
you mean he done a 180 reversal.. from revelation: it's grand climax a hand page 143, para.
Nice move on the GB! Now the witnesses can imagine all the lawsuits are brought about by Locusts.
