I only made it to pg 3 before I got goosebumps.

Oh boy, this will make me want to go.. NOT!!

Thanks for posting so I know what I'm not missing.

When I first logged on today and began reading this thread’s comments on all the talk titles for this summer’s convention, I thought, “Am I being punked?” I know some of you posters have a great sense of humor and can be creative & comical regarding WTS information. My initial reaction was these titles are a mix between genuine subjects, as well as some crazy bizarre sounding ones just for a joke!

I then went to jw.org to check and found out that the talks were all real subjects!!

Over the last 8-10 years it seems anything is possible and can be made into a talk. This will be year number 5 that I’ve missed. Good to know how crazy this religion has become.

Indeed the program shows nothing new and attractive. It is the same repetitive Carrot & Stick, Fear & Guilt, More Service, More Meeting, More Study, No Rest & Relaxation - that they have been preaching for a Century now.

Below is the program how it should look like in my opinion and if it indeed did look like this, I would certainly attend:

This is one wastefest I sure want to miss. By the looks of the program, it is a three day damnation working. You are getting a combination of poverty, celibacy, and sickness working in one. The kingdom they are seeking is one of being enslaved under pure communism, even worse than the Soviet Union under Stalin or today's North Korea. Everything but this communist tyranny has to take second place, where it gets crowded out. Placing courtship in second place?? Below communism? That is a celibacy working for sure.

"Those who are poor". I know that those at the top know this is a poverty working. They know they are programming everyone to be poor, and anyone in attendance is cursed to major money problems forever. This curse goes beyond this life into future lifetimes, damning those present to eternity of not being able to shake money problems. All this to inherit a kingdom of communism. Is it worth it?

"Do not give the Devil an opportunity". "A world without Satan." Though I was never drawn to joke-hova or Jesus while I was little, they never gave Satan a chance to connect to me or me to connect with Satan. For sure, it has not been a blessing--it led to getting stuck on Thorazine when I was 3 (Satan would have been more effective had He connected with me at that time). It led to getting stuck with someone in school that ultimately placed a curse in the name of joke-hova against me--by a teacher that wanted to force me and that thing to get with each other. Previously, I did not like that thing but was not fully certain why. And it took learning about Satan--which they are trying to push out of life--to find out why. It led to being rejected by the opposite sex fully, to the point where joke-hova was able to seize on the chance as soon as Saturn was in Sagittarius, with one jokehovian call, the born agains calling, getting into dianetics (Scientology) albeit with no cult guidance, and ultimately into the jokehovians for good all while Saturn was in Sagittarius. That is a blessing? That is what you get if you get a world without Satan.

Highway of holiness, going southbound toward communism. I think I will do a U-turn as soon as possible, going northbound at speeds well in excess of 300 km/h. I sure hope the old 55 MPH speed limit is still in place, and enforced, on the southbound (inbound) part of that highway--and preferably even lower. This is one "highway" that only the outbound lanes are safe to travel, and at as high a speed as possible.

The whole thing is rubbish. Notably, those being baptized are doing it during the day of Saturn, and will be harmed by the energy of that planet as well as joke-hova itself. The whole thing is designed as a spiritual working toward destitution, sickness, stagnation, celibacy, and general misery. And those at the top know it--yet, if I simply recite the mantra "Ohm" (a corrupted version of the "Aum" mantra) once, I can get disfellowshipped for spiritism. They are using black magick on the flock to ensure damnation. If I ever attend this, when they introduce the "How would you like to live without Satan", I shall start a massive round of hissing and booing that will hiss and boo them right off the stage. Along with rotten tomatoes and eggs thrown at them. That smut deserves to be shut down.

Adjustments will be made.
