I love the first quote, our main purpose is not to convert, but to show people what the Bible says. They only show people what the Bible says during Bible studies designed to convert them. It's the same purpose, the same activity. Why do they pretend they don't want to make converts, it comes across this weird that they lie about something so obvious. It comes across that they don't want you to know when you agree to a Bible study that that's what they want to happen.

Venus and Serena William's mother in a Mother's Day commercial
by Expanded-Mind ini think this is such a cute commercial!
(link below) however, if venus and serena's mother is a loyal witness, i am surprised that she would consent to do a mother's day commercial.
we all know what they teach about celebrating this and so many other holidays.

Serena Williams isn't a Jehovah's Witness in the sense that she never got baptized. So she can't get deprived or disfellowshipped no matter what she does.

I'm with exjwlemming, it lends an air of mystery and self-importance to the whole thing. They probably could condense it into a day or two, but they're too legalistic for that, and the Elders probably like going to longer sessions, not because of the length, but because it looks good to others. It fits into their whole Elders do so much narrative.

That's beyond creepy. Jehovah watched you guys fuck around, and now you got to go tell the elders about it, like you're writing some kinky confessional erotica. And if you don't your friend will tattle on you? How old are we?

When I went to assemblies back maybe five years ago, yeah, they would throw in 500, $1,000 dollar donations to the worldwide work.

21k for one day? Christ. How does no one balk at that? The first time I heard those kind of numbers I smelled a rat.

When You Would Hear A Talk About Committing “Secret Sins” How Did You React?
by minimus init seemed as if every year a talk would be given in the congregation or at a convention about “secret sins”.
very predictably, witnesses would have pangs of conscience and confess their secret sin.. back in the 70s, one sister with an unbelieving mate went to the elders to confess about husband and her engaging in oral sex.
she was privately reproved for her “sin” and every so often would approach the elders to say she slipped up again.. i know i’d never tell anybody about my sex life just because of misguided guilt.

What an ear-fill those Elders got, a wife talking to them about oral sex with her husband? Jesus.
