They are re-inventing themselves...
They need positive emotions to replace and disguise the disappointment of 100 years of Jesus doing nothing.

More Elaborate Celebrations International Conv. Atlanta
by NoMoreHustle infound this video of the entertainment preperation for the delegates in atlanta, u.s. this seems to be professionally done maybe outside sources or probably done by "professional" jw's.
this is just like christendom or all the other religious organizations that they deem to be from the devil.
the people seem to be very sincere in there efforts & is much appreciated,.

Of course, I lived during the days it was OK to say "HI"... things have changed, and I am now faded...
But, even in these last 10 years, I would say "hi' maybe "how you doing?" (great thing to say, huh?) and smile, be nice...
I thought being mean or cold was the worst thing to do... How could that help someone "see the love" and make them "want" to come back?
If someone had asked me for help, I would have helped them... asked me a question, I would have answered... I would have been a human being... I didn't come across too many DF'd people.
In fact, there was this woman who had 'faded' out of the fold, and had started celebrating Xmas.. She 'should have' been DF'd, as most people would, but then again, she wasn't testifying in a trial (haha) and didn't NEED 2 be. I saw her in line in a grocery store, came up to her, said "Hi, How you doing? so nice to see you!" asked about life, and gave her a hug.
Things are very arbitrary these days. A husband is DF'd cuz he use to be an elder, wife isn't... Someone writes a letter to DA himself, and it isn't "announced" cuz their family is a prominent family in the area. Another person finds out lies the WT has been telling, but they aren't DF'd, cuz the elders can tell they "have a good heart." Ray Franz's wife was never DF'd but could have been for the very same reason that HE was: eating with a DA'd person.
Maybe that is why I am gone, I do not like what the WT is, or makes people become.

The TRUE story of a Pedophile
by Tech49 inthis is a true experience that i thought i would share, one that occurred just a few years ago in my area.
it is a real experience, nothing made up here.. a younger couple moved into our kh, into the joining congregation (so not ours, but the other one that shared our kh).
they seemed nice enough, they had one boy that was about 8, and a baby on the way.

I like that MauiBoy: “If someone knows what is right to do, and doesn’t do it… it is a sin”
The GB use the same “get out of jail free card” that their Father & “Mother” use. Are they above the law?
(Leviticus 5:1) . . .“‘Now in case a soul sins in that he has heard public cursing and he is a witness or he has seen it or has come to know of it, if he does not report it, then he must answer for his error.
*** w97 8/15p.30WhyReportWhatIsBad?***
Really, to report wrongdoing is an act of Christian principled love shown toward God, toward the congregation, and toward the wrongdoer.
Is that really what happens to the ones who report pedophilia? What about those who testify in their defense? What do you read in the WT, vs. what really happens?
*** w97 8/15p.29 WhyReportWhatIsBad?***
Today, the vast majority of brothers and sisters in congregations throughout the earth work hard to preserve the spiritual cleanness of the congregation by individually maintaining an approved standing before God. Some suffer to do so; others have even died in order to keep integrity.
Surely to condone or cover up wrongdoing would show a lack of appreciation for these efforts.
*** w97 8/15p.28WhyReportWhatIsBad?***
In his first letter, Paul wrote: “Actually fornication is reported among you, and such fornication as is not even among the nations, … (that a wife a certain man has of his father—1 Corinthians 5:1..)”
What about pedophilia? Should it not be reported? Is this worse than the nations? How many witnesses think "It is only in my congregation." or "Jehovah will take care of things?" As has been brilliantly noted: Jehovah can take care of the preaching work, but not the children?
More importantly, what about the "Christian" lawyers who defend the pedophiles in trial? The lawyers who make the victims feel as if they are the bad people?
*** w85 11/15p.20par.14DoNotShareintheSinsofOthers***
The psalmist David said: “I have not sat with men of untruth ; and with those who hide what they are I do not come in .” (Psalm 26:4) Surely, then, we would not want to become accomplices of “those who hide what they are.”
Have you ever listened to the “GB sanctioned lawyers” in a trial?
Have you ever been disfellowshipped for testifying in a trial?
If you were a victim, how would you be treated after the trial?
*** w85 11/15p.20par.14DoNotShareintheSinsofOthers***
“Surely, then, we would not want to become accomplices of “those who hide what they are.””
Will you become an accomplice?

It is quite a "charlatan" event, this minipulating that they do, and hard to put in words...
Thx for making the connections in a fairly simple way Terry.... That is pretty hard to do!
The WTBS is pretty darn good at spin, and I love the title, I think that sums it all up! I will add one word tho...
Thx for nothing, you dirtyrat bastards!

Though you may have a lot of concerns about "what's next?" , this experience can be a positive one that you can learn from and make you stronger and wiser as life goes on.
All humans grow and learn every day....
Today was your day...
