Cost of Attending the International Conventions
by RubaDub ini have never been invited/requested/applied to any international convention, other than it happening to be our own convention in new york city where we were already assigned (i think back and maybe this happened two times or so when i was growing up).. anyway, people here keep commenting about the cost to attend; the inflated airfares, rooms, transportation, etc.. does anyone have some actual numbers to provide?
i realize that the cost of attending a convention in a different country will be affected by some variations in airfare from the departure city but generally how much do these things cost?
are they comparable to a tour from an expedia, travelocity or other travel site?.

PO (slightly) MI
by APieceOfShitNamedTate inthis video features radio personality charlamagne tha god and actress/host sherri shepherd, both raised in da troof.
charlamagne's mother is still active, and sherri's father is disfellowshipped.
even though they're physically out, you can clearly see that there is a small part of them still connected to the organization.

STOLEN CHILDHOODS--CALVARY GOSPEL CHURCH (PENTECOSTAL)
by blondie inhere is a comprehensive article about the policies of this church over the last 30 years regarding child sexual abuse in its midst.
it is so eerily like that of the wts, i thought i should share it.
the article deals with the experiences of 3 women who have come forward, what the reporting laws are like in wisconsin, and how the pattern of handling abuse is widespread throughout religion and non-secular organizations (boy scouts recent news article).

"Gem from the November 2019 WT. Reject apostate material because JWs trust in "their brothers."
by Daniel1555 indear friends.
i didn't post for a while, but i still enjoy the great jwn community.. just wanted to share a "gem" from the november 2019 study watchtower.. paragraph 8 from the article "are you maintaining your large shield of faith?".
satan, “the father of the lie,” uses those under his control to spread lies about jehovah and about our brothers and sisters.
