.. if armageddon is "imminent", why is wt focused on sight-seeing, entertainment, travel, etc.
instead of preaching and saving people??.
Magnum: What's next - congregation softball teams?
That would take some balls for sure.

According to the video, delegates will be rooming for the convention with JWs who live in a house like this :
But realistically, it'll probably be something more like this:
if death is the payment for one's sins, and a person lives through armageddon and beyond without dying, how does that person pay for their sins?
how would a jw answer that?.
You pay by being a Jehovah's Witness. Isn't that enough? Death at least is an end...
i am the worlds greatest lover!.
do i really expect you to be believe that?.
honestly?.
Vidiot: "really hard"

That's punny

@ LL not Bean or Cool J: If you notice, in your video for 2015, he dances, alone. In Detroit they have dancing couples.
.
Point taken. However, the WT has historically frowned on mixed couples dancing because, as everyone knows, it often leads to impure thoughts, spontaneous dance floor fornicating and worst of all [gasp] enjoyment of life. I predict before the next round of conventions WT will receive "New Light"™ and mixed couples dancing will no longer be "scripturally acceptable"™.
I preemptively posted a video of a solo dancer in anticipation of the above stated "New Light"™ revelation that's in the Theocratic pipeline.
"Shimeys" (downward or upward is irrelevant) will also be re-branded as "brazen™ conduct" and similarly be categorically banned, convention or no convention. The 2014 conventioneers should enjoy this enjoy this final orgy of dancing while they can, for it is going the way of CT Russell.

@ LL (not Cool J or Bean): Jesus, I pray in your name... Help me because I am speechless!

LOL. There's a reason why Jesus has not shown himself in 2000 years.

WingCommander: I thought this was gonna be some sort of spoof at first...I can't believe he mentioned "celebrities" and the corporations, etc in the opening.
I thought the same thing at first. It seemed as if it was a promotional video by and for the city of Atlanta promoting tourism and commerce. What a shock to see it was a WT video.
Special Note: Jesus wasn't mentioned even ONCE in this entire Christian
The entire flavor of the video is commercialism. There's no talk about how the convention will increase a JWs Bible knowledge, make them better citizens, make them better spiritually, etc. It's focused on money, entertainment and following orders, WT orders...all under the guise of serving god. What a sham (or, more accurately, "a snare and a racket").
Comments like, "we got all the hotels to get on board" [with the JWs] are ridiculous and self-serving. Something tells me "all the hotels" are always on board when there's money to be made and couldn't care less whether it's JWs or anyone else who's filling their hotels to capacity. The level of WT hubris and self-aggrandizing is astounding.
heard from an elder friend in so.
cal that the san diego convention has new rules this year:.
no ezups or beach umbrellas.
a new letter no longer allows an elder to be cobe if hes 80 or more.
6-5-14, addendum to previous BOE letter dated 6-1-14:
"Dear Brothers,
We inadvertantly published that brothers 80 years of age can no longer serve as the COBE.
We meant to say that brothers with an IQ over 80 can no longer serve as the COBE.
Your Brothers,
The Christian Congegation The Governing Body Says"
just found out from my jw mom that the congregations located in the suburbs north of seattle.
will be renting buses to shuttle people back and forth to the international convention at husky.
stadium.
@ Lois:
WT has no problem putting JWs in harm's way, although I cannot say what they are thinking in regards to the convention locations.
I guess if next year's conventions are held in places like Fallujah, Baghdad or the Crimea, we'll have to revisit your idea.
Until then, just be 'faithful' and go to Detroit...if you get mugged, stabbed or killed, that's what "Jehovah™ willed" for you. "Listen, obey and be mugged blessed".
One thing is certain: your wallet will definitely be mugged by WT regardless of where a JW attends.
