  now we know why the governing body of jehovah's witnesses cancelled all the major regional conventions of jehovah's witnesses for 2015 and are only holding smaller conventions at the jw assembly halls.

  "imitate jesus" convention series australia schedule .

  interestingly the first round of regional conventions are due this weekend in the jw assembly halls in sydney (new south wales), melbourne (victoria), and brisbane (queensland).

  Maybe they knew the Royal Commission would be doing their thing right now, so they decided to keep a low-key for the time being?

  July 26th Watchtower. Twisted learning

  the wt study this week made me feel sick!

  it is one of the most blatantly un-scriptural articles i have ever seen!

  in these paragraphs we see how we should treat our neighbor ... so, what examples do we have of loving our neighbors?

  We phone in to the meetings. I mentioned we could listen to an early one [I just like to get them out of the way] my husband [mentally in] said: 'oh great, now I can be depressed for the rest of the day.' Even mentally in dubs are not 'refreshed' by the meetings anymore.
  

  This WT in particular seemed to be written by a 12 year old.

  My husband was baptized two years before he found out he wasn't supposed to talk to a df'd person. If people learned about this practice before they got dunked, there would be less people getting dunked.

  JW Hatred and Elders Apathetic Manners Drove Me Here! Why are JWs fooled in to thinking the WTS Cares?

  by Judas Maccabee in

  for years i've been screwed with by some very bad people, people satan would kick out of his organization because even the devil might let up on evil just to allow someone to catch their breath.

  with the jwism's bad people move up while good people move down or leave the kingdom hall for good.

  i was talking with two elders who said "you know if you return to the kingdom hall, jehovah will bless you and these people will stop screwing with you.

  Don't forget the 'incognito' feature that web browsers have these days, either. They really come in handy.

  Family Reuinion and Being Disfellowshipped (sorry...but it's long)

  by babygirl30 in

  it has been a long looong time since i posted on here, but never ceased reading all the posts and keeping up on the changes that have been going on!

  but it just seems that now i have a need to get something off my chest, and this is the one place that will most definitely understand the topic at hand.

  i have been disfellowshipped for about 8yrs now, and have dealt with the 'consequences' of that decision: all my so-called friends in the org left and i was also abandoned by my own family.

  Lots of love to you! I'm glad that your family and bf are so good to you. Your parents acting that way are doing the exjw community big favors...sorry you had to go through it though.

  My husband usually turns it on, but has it as background noise. 25-30 minutes in he then logs into Facebook.

  GB Permits Texas Two-Step on Kingdom Hall Stage, etc.

  by TakeOffTheCrown in

  the governing body not writing their own articles is on this thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/370640004/gb-providing-food-helpers-write-articles?size=10&page=1.

  but, something more sinister, more serious is taking place in the congregations.

  the governing body have allowed very disturbing activities to take place in the kingdom halls and during the conventions.
