so i hooked into meeting via phone this week to listen in and was shocked at the absurdities mentioned in the study article (2016 may watchtower: "go,..and make disciples of people of all the nations").
the answer is obvious—only jehovah’s witnesses.
the answer the missionary priest gave in no way proves that jws are the only ones "preaching the good news".
In all their bragging about there 'marvelous' accomplishments that identify them as the 'only true religion', I wonder why they forgot this verse from James 1:27
" The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation, and to keep oneself without spot from the world."

4300 in attendance - 17 baptized.
odd mix of congregations assigned, i'm sure to throw off any scent of a decline.. no distinction made whatsoever between loyalty to jehovah god and loyalty to the watchtower bible and tract society.
the convention is riddled with parts whipping up your love for the creator and jesus, with a quick reminder that the wbts are their gatekeepers.. parallels are implied constantly between israel and jehovah's witnesses.
Laughing my ass off at the baptism numbers! Getting lower each year! jehober is truly 'slowing down' the work!
He needs to take his chariot in for repairs!

i was wondering why they ended the "bunker video" as they did ... with an armed militia finding the jws huddled in the corner of the basement ... fade to black.
the jws watching don't know what happened after that.
did they kill them?
If jehober is going to "protect his people" as we have been absolutely 'guaranteed' for decades, why the f*ck are they hiding in a bunker? They should be out there preaching the 'final judgement' message! Me thinks that the borg don't really believe jehober will do his job as a loving father! LMFAO

i was raised as a jw and 1975 expectations were pretty intense.
as i recall, most people did not leave after the failed expectations but many s l o w e d down.
now, i think most of the 1975 witnesses are gone or barely in.. is the older generation still around in the kingdom halls or are they much gone?.
Yea, I'm still here! I was a 28 year old elder, the Presiding Overseer no less, in 1975. By January of 1976 there was a nearly unanimous unwillingness to even mention the 'great disappointment' among the "faithful". F*ck, I wish I would have had the good sense to run then, but like other fools, I stayed! It was like a pyramid a big scheme (pun intended)!
As is being mentioned in this OP, most of those still 'in da troof' from that time refuse to admit that the borg really did emphasis 1975 as the "end". It's classic denial to say otherwise. Mad Freddy must be laughing his skinny little ass off!

beards have been talked about a lot, especially with the recent wt article, but what about other types of non-mustache facial hair, like goatees chinbeards and soul patches?.
in my own experience i've seen a white young man with big handlebars and a soul patch run mikes, do literature and give talks not too long ago.
i saw a black older man with a sizeable soul patch as the focus of one shot in a jw.org video about an annual meeting a few years ago.
In addition to heeding the 'no beard' zone at the kh, also make sure you warn all the young sisters that are not married not to 'even consider' a brother who is over 23 that is not a MS. Don't want to piss off Tony Tightpants!

Yea it looks like many are 'waking up' to the fallacy of religion and the fantasy that is the bible!
The years we spent trying to convince others that the bible is god's word---well--just wasted time.

IMHO, if you are a black jw, there are different 'rules' to govern you. Don't get me wrong, I don't care about the stupid 'rutherfordian' rules and many of my best jw friends are black and they are great guys and girls. However, black people have different ways to dress and groom that would not fly with Caucasians in jw-land!
Back in the early 70's, I was counselled by our CO for growing a mustache.

i heard through the grapevine about a forthcoming book:.
together through the great tribulation - come to jehovah's mountain.
still awaiting solid confirmation though.
God, I hope so. Haven't had any good fantasy fiction to read for a while!
