"He said "Beavis".....uh-huhuh, uh-huhuhuh..."

I credited you with a Mulligan pun, Vidiot.

I thought it was funny, intended or not.

In true WT-style, they've figured out how to inconvenince large numbers of JWs, then call it a "test of our obedience to theocratic direction". The JW propogandist at 6:00 minutes shows that his cong. is right next to the northern MARTA station- but the GB has directed those brothers to travel 25 miles to the other end of town to use the southern MARTA station instead. Nicely done, WT !!

.

15 nights of entertainment and 18 sight-seeing tours are scheduled for the three convention weekends.

By my count:

> "Atlanta" = 13 mentions

> "Governing Body" = 5 mentions

> "Jehovah" = 5 mentions

> "Jehovah's Witnesses" = 4 mentions

> "Jesus" = not one mention !

.

It would appear Jesus has been relegated to the "who's that?" category along with Russell.

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:

Payment for sins
by InChristAlone in

2. beliefs
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?.
AndDontCallMeShirley

You pay by being a Jehovah's Witness. Isn't that enough? Death at least is an end...

@ 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.
