very true blondie, it happens all the time withing the borg. If you know how the system works, and you know the right elders, you can get out of any jam with just a slap on the hand

Jw's dont really care about doctrine do they?
by marriedtoajw init seems to me that jw's really don't care about doctrine.
ephesians chapter 4 verse 11 "and he gave some as apostles others as prophets, others as evangelists, others as pastors and teachers to equip the holy ones for the work of ministry for the building up of the body of christ until we attain the unity of faith and knowledge of the son of god to mature manhood to the extent of the full stature of christ so that we may no longer be in infants tost by waves and swept along by every wind of teaching arising from human trickery from their cunning in the interest of deceitful scheming".
is it just me or does this verse totally annihilate the doctrine or belief in new light.

New Book about the Kingdom and JW's history
They are pushing this overlapping generation and with this graph we can see how they have a short time before they are forced to adjust this "New Light"
The 3 Musketeers. They talk about how the great crowd has grown, therefore I don't see them touching this doctrine anytime soon.
Anyone remembers some of these? My family started with the pink one, how about yours?
The GB is not afraid to show they used the cross. SO THERE YOU NASTY APOSTATES!
This book cannot get printed with the elite
When was the last time you saw an elder risking his life to help a doubting or fragile JW sheep? YOU TELL ME, WHEN?
The GB keeps talking about 1914
Here it is! Our favorite dooms day religion cannot print a book and not show us the grusome reality of God's judgement day. See how the 144,000 are transported up to heaven in Star Trek style, BAM, ZAP, PRESTO,GONE!
Now you've done it. Jesus is pissed and coming to get you
After killing billions of men, women and babies, Jesus and his daddy are happy and have quenched their thirst for blood of indefensible little humans.
Notice how the GB decided not to include anymore pandas, I wonder what happened with our pandas? I WANT MY DAM PANDA!!

Hey guys thanks for al the comments! I have only been to this convention for half a day. The reason my wife is not attending is because she had to travel outside the USA for family business and I made sure to buy her the plane tickets during our convention. It was to late for her to change her mind when she noticed the timing, naughty mini me lol.
Well tomorrow I will go like I did today during the lunch break and talk with some key people so they can keep their mouths shut when my wife comes back. The only issue is that my wife is coming back with her MOTHER!!! Oh no!! I love my mother in-law very much but she is very indoctrinated and this will not help my plans to escape the WT. Sooner or later I will have to face the music but for now I am just enjoying this weekend without the garbage the WT promotes.

Easy... Skip it!

If you are discovered to be out of line from the leader's ideals and agenda, you get a visit from officials with the power to make you disappear.
Anyway, this is my first convention that I am fully awake to the deceptions of the WT.
I skipped Fridays boring spiritual fest and today I arrived during lunch time. I came with no suit, just with slacks. shirt and tie. I decided to keep a low profile and sat all the way in the back. WoW! This is the first time I have noticed so many people that just come to either appease his/her conscience, to make family happy, or just to socialize. I also noticed the forgotten ones, the ones that do not attend for prominence nor praise from other men. The ones who are humble people, who think they are doing what God wants.
They promised a historic convention but it is just the same unhealthy food being served.
Here is just one example of what the Watchtower put in their foods.
The unhealthful ingredients in WT's food (straight from the JW website)
bleached history (truth removed)
food starch-modified (likely genetically-modified) this helps with the stability of the org against excessive heat from dissenters.
dextrose (sugar) gives JW's energy to keep going.
partially hydrogenated literature with cottonseed oil with mono-and diglycerides, (trans fats) helps with the taste.
TBHQ, tertiary butylhydroquinone, a petroleium dervived product, this helps with the shelf life of "new light"
Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent (a form of silicone used in cosmetics, and Silly Putty). This helps with doubts and repels apostate thinking.
In conclusion, when you go to the Regional Convention of the Jehovah's Witnesses, you are:
Attending to harm your own health;
your children's health;
reducing your quality of life because the toxicity of eating synthetic spiritual chemicals will trigger illness;
put more money into the hands of the GB supporting their comfortable lifestyle. -

Pope Francis assures atheists: You don’t have to believe in God to go to heaven
In comments likely to enhance his progressive reputation, Pope Francis has written a long, open letter to the founder of La Repubblica newspaper, Eugenio Scalfari, stating that non-believers would be forgiven by God if they followed their consciences.
Responding to a list of questions published in the paper by Mr Scalfari, who is not a Roman Catholic, Francis wrote: “You ask me if the God of the Christians forgives those who don’t believe and who don’t seek the faith. I start by saying – and this is the fundamental thing – that God’s mercy has no limits if you go to him with a sincere and contrite heart. The issue for those who do not believe in God is to obey their conscience.
“Sin, even for those who have no faith, exists when people disobey their conscience.”
Robert Mickens, the Vatican correspondent for the Catholic journal The Tablet, said the pontiff’s comments were further evidence of his attempts to shake off the Catholic Church’s fusty image, reinforced by his extremely conservative predecessor Benedict XVI. “Francis is a still a conservative,” said Mr Mickens. “But what this is all about is him seeking to have a more meaningful dialogue with the world.”
In a welcoming response to the letter, Mr Scalfari said the Pope’s comments were “further evidence of his ability and desire to overcome barriers in dialogue with all”.
In July, Francis signalled a more progressive attitude on sexuality, asking: “If someone is gay and is looking for the Lord, who am I to judge him?”
