2017 Conventions
by Maryo inin view of the terrorist attacks going on in the world right now, as well as the high degree of animosity towards jehovah's witnesses as a result of their shuning practices, etc., i think it would be wise for the wts to discontinue meeting for large conventions and use live streaming and broadcasts instead.
even with the increased security measures being put in place this year, it would not be surprising if some incidents take place.
has anyone heard any talk in this regard?.

Is God Everywhere, Omnipresent? ACCORDING TO JW.ORG...NO
by NikL inthis is new to me.. i was always taught things like "god is everywhere".. now the folks in warwick are tearing that into shreds with their spiritual enlightenment.. https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/god-omnipresent/.
god is able to see everything and to act anywhere he chooses.
(proverbs 15:3; hebrews 4:13) however, the bible does not teach that god is omnipresent—that is, present everywhere, in all things.

Is Collateral damage acceptable?
by stuckinarut2 inwe know that the teaching that witnesses adhere to is that the "universal issue of sovereignty" is the battle between jehovah and satan.. this belief means that the almighty is happy to sit back and allow the world to go to pieces in order to prove his point..... so does that mean all the collateral damage and deaths are all ok?
should we be tolerant of god sitting back while children are killed by extremists?.
or does this prove that god isn't really there?.

1975 Research (sorry, even more!)
by Splash inhere's a document from the time, which exposed 1975 as it was unfolding.. i've also attached a document which is an unstructured collection of 1975 observations, reasoning on the wt teachings and comments, and looking at how they republished certain books with changes to hide their 1975 teachings etc.. if anyone fancies sorting through these they might find a new angle not previously considered.. however the bottom line is that there is a ton of evidence that wt were pedaling 1975 to the masses for years.how they try to turn around today to pretend otherwise is nothing short of hypocritical cowardice..

USA: JW's 'GoFundMe' for a Transplant
by darkspilver instrangers, friends donate over $8,000 in 2 days to faribault woman in need of transplant .
faribault daily news, may 19, 2017. when she was born, nicole roen’s parents were told it was unlikely she’d live past 16. that was 33 years ago.. at six weeks old, roen was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (cf), a progressive, genetic disease that causes lung infections and limits the patient’s ability to breathe over time due to a buildup of mucus in the lungs.. the pressing need for a transplant may force the roens to relocate to houston next month, as there is only one state in the country that allows bloodless transplants and one surgeon in the country that performs them at houston methodist hospital.
a jehovah’s witness, roen may not take a blood transfusion.. in order to even get on the transplant list, the roens must establish a residence in texas first.. read more: http://www.southernminn.com/faribault_daily_news/news/article_bc97e2fc-5661-598e-b16d-b7e0e9c9e2d1.html.

Did you ever have a discussion with an apostate that helped your journey out.
by jwfacts inthere seems to be a number of different ways that apostates try to get jehovah's witnesses realise they do not have the truth, ranging from subtle comments to aggressive attacks.
do you have any that looking back helped you finally leave.
some of the methods include:.

Uninvited...again...
by Anders Andersen inso a week or so ago we received an invitation for a jw friend's wedding anniversary party in the mail.it was addressed to 'the andersen family' (and not just mrs. andersen & baby andersen) which was pleasant of course, but not a huge surprise given the type of person who said friend is.. however, i already prepared myself to be uninvited after all.
some time ago, there was a congregation farewell party/get-together.to my surprise, i was invited too!
an elder specifically came over to my house to tell me.then some weeks later, he visited again, being terribly sorry but the invitation was revoked as the congregation got concerned over my possible presence.. with that debacle in mind, i wasn't surprised to receive a message from my friend 'hey are you at home?
