I wondered if it was just me because I have only recently learned TTATT, but it seems like the spiritual food is getting pretty stale. It has always been the same stuff, just stirred and reheated, it just seems to have a real unpleasant smell and texture these days.

Deteriorating content of the WT
by His Excellency inhas anyone noticed the recent deterioration in the quality of wt's contents lately?..
the spiritual food seems to be getting more and more shitty these days.
i have given a thought to what could really be going wrong, and if it is likely that some on the wiriting committee is consciously dishing out those nonsense to facilitate more poeple seeing ttat.

I reckon they will see if this new memorial talk outline can drop the number of partakers (unlikely), before they stop counting the number of partakers all together (inevitable).

Notes from "Safeguard Your Conscience" Special Assembly Day
by WinstonSmith inrecently we had the 'privilege' of attending our local special assembly day.
the theme for this year was safeguard your conscience, and you guessed it, they looked up every reference to the word 'conscience' in the bible and then wrote a talk about each one.
it was most definitely a case of "pack your bags, we're going on a guilt trip.".

Straight away you know that a whole day of conscience talks is going to be a huge cult propaganda program. Get them all feeling guilty and scared.
- We should not demand that people change their conscience to match ours. We should not dictate to others what they should do on things that are not expressly stated in the scriptures.
What the hell? Isn't this exactly what the GB is all about?!

Those 'has it's place' WT quotes from Blondie are disturbing when you see them all compiled like that. That comment from Pistoff was awesome, spot on. I think jgnat's graph highlights the fact that true Christians know eating and sleeping has its place, it comes after kingdom interests. The GB seem to be paranoid that the rank and file might be enjoying normal lives, God forbid.

Sorry to hear about your situation, many here understand exactly how you feel. Take your time to read some of the stories on this site.
If you have any family that are not JWs, maybe you could talk to them, or get in touch with some of your old worldy friends. You will find many worldly people to be very kind and non judgmental.

Lars: Can we examine your Messiah qualifications ?
by mP inhi lars,.
if you want to claim your the messiah, thats fine but first we must examine the facts and ask a few basic questions.
i am of course accepting your word as honest.. i think everybody is well aware that the messiah will come thru david.

Any information that is critical of Lars' claims is apostasy. Even just looking at this apostate material out of curisosity can be dangerous.

The announcements kinda seem to me as another little privilege that they can gift to a qualified brother. It is like a stepping stone to the Sunday chairman or instruction talk. It use to seem that way, it has changed a bit.

Did the Watchtower publishing organization intensionally leverage and exploit the belief in the bible to proliferate its published goods ?
by Finkelstein inafter more than 100 years there's a clear retrospective history surrounding this religious publishing.
organization which defines its inherent operations as a religious organization/institution.. the question remains, did the long list of the various leaders of this.
organization intentionally exploit the belief in the bible from the public ?.

You put it so well Finkelstein, what else can be said. I like the point that to JWs, God's will for mankind must be that we all distribute the WTS literature, the better we are at this, the more Jehovah can use us and bless us. Sounds reasonable.

Well for those who were not there for the official briefing, how else are they to figure out how to handle the 'nested copies'? They will have to read the instructions for themselves, or ask a qualified brother to read it for them.
Come on guys, I think we are being a bit harsh on the 'celebrated Watchtower scholars'.

This WT article seemed to be more pathetic than the usual dribble. We can have some recreation, as long it's refreshing and wholesome. May as well just leave our suit and tie on wherever we go, it is only temporary anyhow.
