    Gee, haven't I heard all this sh*t before? Sure sounds familiar. I think it was 1978.

    Hello garlic81 and welcome. Thanks for the heads up.

    These topics are the same thing they have been saying for over a 100 years, nothing they preach ever comes true. The famous loaded word works here:

    Wait on Jehovah

    I will not be there!

    I'm not sure how "refreshed" we will be after this. BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES!!

    Don't Forget Your Relatives”

    Maintain a Family Worship Evening”

    And the other shoe drops... We've been expecting this since they eliminated a meeting night by folding the book study into the school/svc mtg.

    Keep Pursuing Spiritual Goals”

    Oh good, more information on the evils of higher education, and the virtue of the full-time ministry.

    Here's Friday with the real intent of the talks:

    “ Conventions Help Us To Remain Watchful”

    You would stop watching for the end if you relaxed and didn't come to conventions.

    “ Jehovah – God of Times and Seasons” Gentile Times (just the latest understanding of that) and We-don't-know-how-many Seasons.

    Symposium: “Imitate Faithful One's Who Remained Watchful” How Noah, Moses, and Jeremiah did so.

    They didn't see the end in their time, but stayed faithful to Jehovah's organization then.

    Keynote Address: “How Jehovah Helps Us to Keep on the Watch!” Just stay in Jehovah's organization. Please.

    “ Answers to Questions About the Last Days” Let us reinforce the mind-control that it really is the last days, so many have doubts.

    “ You Know Neither the Day Nor the Hour – Why?” We haven't told you the day and the hour. If needed, we will tell you the year- again.

    “ Know that the end is near” If we keep saying it, you should believe it- again.

    Symposium: “Stay Awake as Christian Families”Husbands, Wives, Young Ones”Keep Your Eye Simple"Keep Pursuing Spiritual Goals”Maintain a Family Worship Evening”

    We are losing all the kids, let's do something- or else blame the parents.

    “ Verses that Move Us to Keep Strict Watch” Snippets of the Bible taken out of context to fit our doctrine.


    Here's Saturday with the real intent of the talks:

    Symposium: “Help People to Awake From Sleep”Our Ministry – Why So Vital?”Be Observant in the Ministry”Focus on Improving Your Skills”Don't Forget Your Relatives”Maintain Your Sense of Urgency” You cannot stop the waste-of-time literature distribution. We need
    to control you with it. Just stay busy and don't think. Drag your
    relatives into the religion.

    “ Imitate Jesus Example of Watchfulness” Snippets of Jesus from the scriptures taken out of context for our purposes.

    “ Be Vigilant With a View to Prayers” If you don't feel the spirit, it's your fault. We told you to pray.

    Dedication and Baptism Look at the growth, look at the growth.

    Symposium: “Watch Out For Satan's Traps”The Fire”The Pit”The Snare”The Trap that Chokes”The Trap that Crushes” If you are sure you did everything right, but still don't feel good,
    You can blame Satan instead of yourself.

    Special Presentation: “ Until I Expire I Shall Not Take Away My Integrity” - Job 27:5 Job put up with more than you guys- He stayed faithful.

    “ Do Not Look at the Things Behind” Stop thinking about our past errors- just believe us NOW.

    “ Learn Watchfulness from Jesus Apostles” Snippets of scripture that say the apostles all insisted on a
    Global Preaching Work.


    Here's Sunday with the real intent of the talks

    “ Keep in Expectation. It Will not be Late” We think we can still recycle this thought another year.

    Symposium: “Keep Your Eyes on the Thing's Unseen”The Ten Horns Will Hate the Harlot”The Nations Will Have to Acknowledge Jehovah”All these Kingdom's will be Crushed”The Devil will be Bound for a 1000 Years”They will Build Houses and Plant Vineyards”The Wolf and the Lamb will Feed as One”God will Wipe out Every Tear”All those in the Memorial Tombs will Come Out”God will be All Things to Everyone” Difficult doctrine to convince you all that WE ARE RIGHT.
    Go ahead and take a nap if you don't enjoy difficult doctrine.
    We purposely put this subject on the third day for Sunday-only
    visitors to be impressed about our doctrine, but if you don't get
    it, just see that it is complicated and it must be right.

    Public Talk: “How Can You Survive the End of the World?” If the difficult doctrine was too much for you, it should have at
    least impressed you- the public talk is a simpler version that tells
    you that the difficult doctrine was proof, this is now what you need
    to do- just believe us.

    Drama “ Your Brother was Dead and Came to Life” drama on prodigal son Get those children of yours back in the organization. Please.

    “ Keep in Expectation – Watching for Jehovah's Day” Stupid exaggerated stories from a Bethelite, D.O., or other
    heavy WTS representative to say that this convention and your
    literature distribution and your keeping your name badges on
    has been a good witness to outsiders- some have been so impressed
    that they will want to learn more. WAKE UP NOW AND JUST REMEMBER
    THIS LAST TALK IF NOTHING ELSE. Sorry about going overtime, but
    there were so many good stories to tell you.
