i just saw zeb's ("i'm worldly") video entitled: "black mass mayhem" a few minutes ago.
no doubt this was what he experienced at a memorial he attended last night.

Parker did a compilation of most of the memorial crashes. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D_-UgEK3UU4&feature=youtu.be
I havent heard of the first guy before but they got pretty rough with him it seems.
The gasps at 2:55 when he drinks the wine crack me up!
in spain (and the rest of europe), the "improved" data protection laws come into force on 25th may 2018. this is a good thing and sadly america is still lagging behind; not surprising with their current president!.
watchtower legal department are hot on the case and have instructed elders to hand out the new "release" forms out to all the publishers in their groups, whilst making it clear to them that they won't have any privileges if they refuse to do so!.
note these points in the instructions:.
it was pretty mundane for the most part, same songs, same outline.
the only new thing they added was the video at the end, where stephen lett speaks to the visitors and commends them for coming and recommends they go to jwdotorg and also start a bible study.
they also showed a bar graph with figures increasing every year for jws, memorial attendance and memorial partakers.
Did he have a graph showing overlapping partakers? We didn’t have that part here
feeling pressure to attend the memorial?.
as a former elder i write this response to hopefully help those genuinely feeling “guilt” before their god.
if you are a jehovah’s witness or an “ex-jw” (for example, disfellowshipped or lapsed), then i hope that this will be of help to you.
How did Rutherford explain that the other sheep would not partake? It would make sense that before that “great announcement” of two flocks that all partook
page 16, par.
18 carefully follow the latest directions.. do we faithfully follow the latest directions that jehovah has given us?
if so, we will not rely on always doing things the way we have done them in the past.
I was reading the article on recognition (heaven forbid we want someone to tell us we’ve done a good job) but they were trying to drive home a point using 1 Corinthians. How do they use the Greek scriptures if those supposedly only apply to the anointed?
just thought a review the following material many have contributed to might be helpful .
you know you are in the wrong religion:1. when the all important question is not: "do you believe in the lord jesus christ?"....but....
"do you believe in the "faithful and discreet slave" appointed in 1919?"2.
When you and your great grandpa are the same generation
just thought i'd share this ridiculous picture from a recent watchtower.
in recent years, the word bullying has been thrown around a lot, and often misused by instigators and subtle bullies themselves.
in this picture we learn that your loving family who wants to continue sharing a family tradition with you, who hands you a beautifully wrapped present with a smile on their face, is in fact bullying you.
But it’s not bullying when they refuse to talk to relatives that have left the truth.
I wonder if this guys family will shun him because he won’t accept a present? Bet they still invite him to dinner.

amazing how many words can be expended discussing things that people have utterly no clue about..
My god they are obsessed with how dead bodies are cleaned up!!

friday.
be courageous and very strong”—joshua 1:7
“Best convention ever” “just what we needed” “food at the proper time” “come back to Jehovah before it’s too late”
different program same reaction from the rank and file. When is it never the best convention ever?
my turning point: serving on a child abuse judicial case.

When the memorial talk focused more on who should drink the wine than Jesus
