There was a speech given at the assembly where a bethel representative (and I think GB assistant) said "where there are false prophets, there is false religion."

What the heck? the new campaign with the tract doesn't really say much. Don't exactly know what the world will know that is new if it's pretty much the same thing already being taught. Just another event in JW land

As a JW, I never thought of this. JWs don't go through this detail, instead skip that whole idea and jump to the paradise part. Oh, and don't forget the birds that will feed on carcasses.

100 years in the sense that they're celebrating 100 years of something important to them, JWs celebrate 100 years since 1914. Just to clear up what I meant to say, though I can see how my words were read differently.

New Article in JW.ORG "Should Christians Drink Tea?"
by EdenOne inshould christians drink tea?.
would you like a cup of tea?.
this seemingly innocent question has been asked countless times, and is regarded as a gesture of courtesy and hospitability in many parts of the world, in both eastern and western culture.

That's crazy! I'd rather not have a sign like that, especially when it pops out in contrast to the Kingdom Hall colors. You'd be able to tell if it's a Kingdom Hall a mile away. It's the end of the name Watchtower and the start of JW.org, sleek, modern, catchy, and doesn't bring in the same baggage Watchtower has. I spotted another car in my Kingdom Hall with the JW.org sticker, this is going pretty far...

I agree with Darth Fader as well. More power to them if they're enjoying it, and there is nothing wrong with having fun, especially during conventions where all you do is sit for hours on and listen. What does bother me is the special treatment given to these people when the Watchtower criticizes other religions for giving certain members special privileges. They make it a huge event and congregations treat them like VIP. People crowd around them. It's also odd to think about this going on in a convention site, imagine if it was not done for the international delegates and just the average members.

Commenting At The Meetings---Did You Enjoy It?
by minimus inwas that important for you?
most people, i believe, forced themselves to give an answer.
i knew many elders and servants over the years being counseled because they rarely answered.. funny thing....my mom who is 88 cries if she doesn't give a comment.

I don't like commenting and practically never do it but the after feel of it was good, like you accomplished something big. I think it's that good feeling that gets some to comment often. I get pushed to comment sometimes, someone either brings it up or my mother tells me to comment but I never do. To be fair, I hardly comment in school as well, unless the professor really needs one.

circuit overseer worship
by Magnum infor over thirty years i observed among jws the phenomenon of co worship/idolatry.
i, myself, was somewhat guilty of it even though i rather quickly caught on and detected something wrong.. think about the week of the co visit.
during that week most attention is given to and most thought is about the co. the supposed sovereign of the universe takes a backseat.

CO and DO's get all the VIP treatment they need and a lot of times is like idolatry. This happened at the last Assembly I had, but for a retiring elderly DO after they gave all DO's the boot. The DO made an announcement after he finished his speech that he was to retire to bethel with his wife. After the assembly was over, all of a sudden a huge crowd of people come up to him, shaking his hand, taking his picture. Some where even holding their iPads up over the crowd just to take a picture, it was crazy. And the DO? He had a huge smile on his face, all happy with the attention he was getting, and all the pictures he was taking with kids and adults.
