Many years ago I attended a language course in bethel.
Everyone was dressed with suit and tie. Except me in my shorts and colourful t-shirt with don't know what slogan on it.
As they approached me if I could maybe change my outer appearance I said. "Dear brother so and so, I am very sorry, I thought it is just a language course with being able to think and learn in comfortable modest clothes. I am sorry but I just brought t-shirts with me for the whole 3 days."
I think the other brothers were jealous as they sweated the hell out of their close tied shirts during hot summer.

Outline of Regional Convention talk (the one with the shunning interview)
by Daniel1555 indoes anyone of you have the outline of the saturday afternoon regional convention talk "symposium: imitate jesus' use of power - wise parents (mark 10:14, 16)?".
if yes, could you show / leak the outline?.
i am wondering if they are deliberately searching for a couple who made an experience with a son or daughter who left the organisation.. there was a thread a few days ago that encouraged all those attending different regional conventions to record (film or just voice) this talk / interview.. unfortunately copy, pasting the link doesn't work.. would be great to have access to different recordings, and have different shunning experiences publicly mentioned.

Zambia - President Wants to Ban JWs
by OrphanCrow inzambia has one of the highest concentrations of jws in the world.
their influence has impacted the political climate in that country to such an extent that the president attributes low voter turnout to the jws.. http://www.lusakatimes.com/2015/06/04/deregister-jehovah-witnesses-for-promoting-voter-apathy-cosmo-mumba/.
"national revolution party leader cosmo mumba has appealed to the register of societies to force jehovah witnesses to start singing the national anthem and participate in national elections or be banned.dr mumba told prime tv in lusaka that jehovah witnesses are the ones responsible for the prevailing low voter turnout in recent elections.he said theregistrar of societies should immediately force jehovah witnesses to start voting or ban them from practising in zambia.dr mumba said singing of the national anthem is a sign of patriotism and wondered why jehovah witnesses have been allowed to disregard symbols of national pride and patriotism like the singing of the national anthem.he claimed that zambias democracy may not grow if institutions such as the jehovah witnesses are allowed to continue operating in zambia.

He claimed that Zambia’s democracy may not grow if institutions such as the Jehovah Witnesses are allowed to continue operating in Zambia."
This guy speaks about "democracy" but means "dictatorship."A democracy respecting human rights tolerates groups who don't vote. -

I looked at it in the Watchtower.
I don't see this man... maybe I am blind.
However I think it is a strange picture. How does that fit to the article?

Being shunned only increases my certainty that the WBT$ is a cult
by punkofnice inwell, i don't wanna rant too much but sometimes things cut you don't they.. a family member had a get together for the family, jw and non jw and of course i wasn't invited being da'd.. i understand why they couldn't invite me but it just made me think.
in normal society this wouldn't happen.
i'd have been there.. the shunning is so unnatural and damaging.

You are absolutely right.
You are only a sinner in their eyes or by their standards or belief system.
Of course we all make mistakes. But "sin" is just this thing religion wants to press us in that we come running back to them.

I want serious answers from WT leaders, possible?
by Powermetal4ever inwhat would happen if i would write a physical letter to, for example, the branch office.
and ask questions about scandals like the ngo thing and other stuff?
or ask questions about wtbs economy, or ask for a annual report, which is something i would really like to read.

This happened so many times. You can even see many examples of letters and answers in older posts on this site (especially if you look at those under "blood and medical").
I myself sent a few letters to the branch office. It's not worth the time and effort, unless you want to show to a relative or friend that you had a sincere quedtion and they never answered.
For some not that controversial matters I got an answer, for controversial matters they just didn't answer or told the CO or elders to care about it.
They never ever answer anonimous letters.

Looks a little bit photoshopped.

"You are ready for your drivers license, but you're not ready to dedicate your life... hmm explain that to heaven haha."
What an arrogant cult leader. Maybe he should explain to heaven why the rules about shunning and blood could be killing youngsters who dedicate their life to this organisation.

No More Literal Peaceful Animals in Paradise?
by FusionTheism inthere is a quote in the new june episode of jw broadcasting, which says isaiah 11:6 applies to people inside the congregations now who have their personalities transformed.. in the 1980's and 1990's, when i attended meetings all the time, i always heard them say this scripture had a literal fulfillment and the animals will be at peace with one another.. here is the scripture:.
isaiah 11:6 (nwt): the wolf will reside for a while with the lamb, and with the young goat the leopard will lie down, and the calf and the lion and the fattened animal will all be together; and a little boy will lead them.. after hearing the quote, i did a search on jw.org, and i found this statement regarding that scripture:.
isaiah book 1, pages 163-165:.

When they speak to children it is a literal understanding talking about their pet zoo in paradise.
When talking to a sceptic it's a symbolic understanding.
