here are the morning program highlights.
will update for the afternoon once it's all over.
call out to awake JWs...... want to have some fun with this?
Start a prepping fad, start talking about prepping a lot among other members.
How can the elders say anything when they show a video like that at the convention? They are actually encouraging prepping, use their own video against them!
about 30-50 high profile guests are expected among 300 other guests.
the kingdom hall has requested for support from the police for crowd/traffic control .

i found out this morning that my brother died last night, he was also an ex jw, 73 years old and died of heart disease and kidney failure.
it was not totally unexpected, as he had been in poor health, but it's a blow, especially as i just lost another brother two years ago.
there were six of us, now only four.
may 2, 2016 to all congregations in the united states branch territory re: entrance time at regional conventions.
Everyone knows that the closer your seat is to the stage the more spiritual you are.
here is my first letter i posted to the governing body.
i also hope that brothers on the writing committee who may be lurking on this site (and have some clout) read my letter and bring in change to this very flawed policy around confession of sins.. enjoy.

"Watchtower reform" is an oxymoron.
yes that's me, i am victorious!
i had enough after about 4 years knowing ttatt.
sent my da letter and it has been anounced at the meeting.
just to say a big hello.
i have been reading this site for some time now and have been very unhappy with some of the things emanating from watchtower head quarters in new york.
the final straw for me is the upcoming watchtower study this weekend encouraging us to shun our own family members (our own mothers if need be) if they are disfellowshipped....a step too far for my liking.
Welcome.
Why would the Governing Body listen to anything you have to say, when they have a record of doing just the opposite for decades who have done the same?
Will you identify yourself using your real name and congregation when you write to them?
I look forward to reading your letters.
i see the jw rumour mill is going into mad overdrive about prince.
the stories seem to be more and more unlikely.
so i thought as a bit of fun how about us here try to make up our own rumours?
Prince was called home as one of the 144,000 because they needed some help with writing the song of Revelation 14, that only the 144,000 could sing before the throne and 24 elders.
If your going to sing a song before a throne, the obvious choice for the GB was Prince.
Runner up was MC Hammer because of his commitment to loose pants.
i think that's the correct phrase?
anyway when i first came here, that little picture that "the rebel" hides behind, was a self portrait of a very sad man, who simply had too much knowledge.
now i feel after 7 months here, i should repaint that " avetor" give some happiness to the eyes, and a contented smile to the lips.. in short my " avetor" was a self portrait of a man with too much knowledge.

the reason i ask is because while watching the "dateline" episode about ralph candelario, the claim was made that only jw men could file for divorce, not women.
.
i had never thought about this before.. also, how does this apply in cases where a husband is "apostate" while the wife is faithful to wt?
