  its up on jw.org the 2014 convention program

  Friday 2:00 Symposium : What must be kept in Second place?

  Recreation

  Eating and Drinking

  Concerns about Health

  Courtship and Weddings

  Family Ties

  Material Pursuits.

  I think that talk sums up what being a JW is. When they say 2nd place, they really mean not at all.

  So having fun, recreation, etc is bad. Enjoying what you eat and drink is bad. Being concerned about your health, excersising, fitness, etc is bad. Dating and getting married, having a 'fun' wedding, etc, is bad. Keeping ties with your family, being close, putting family above others and the governing body is bad. Trying to save for retirement, get a good education, not be in poverty, etc, is bad.

  Hopefully some may decide after Fridays meetings to not return for the rest, and perhaps another meeting again.

  It gets worse, this will have to be by far the worst convention ever had.

  They also have "Who will NOT inherit God's Kingdom" - they'll obviously say those who put those '2nd' place things in a higher priority.

  Then they have a "who WILL inherit God's kingdom"

  "Those who are poor" - (NO JOKE IT SAYS THAT!!! Obviously to try to flip all the poor and poverty for listening to the GB on not saving up or higher education.)

  "Those who "become as young children". (Obviously meaning those who don't do schooling and remain idiots, those who accept every word from the GB without challenge as children don't question their parents, etc)

  "Those who are persecuted for righteousness sake" (obviously those who shun/leave family listening to the GB, those who are in poverty and hard times, bad health, depressed, etc, for listening to the GB etc.)

  "Those who help Christs Brothers" (Obviously those who OBEY the GB)

  Then on Sunday they they how people can be as young children, help the GB, and not enjoy their lives, they mention, preaching house to house, informally, publically, moving to where need is greater, learning a new language, reach out for minsiterial servant, elder, pionner, entering the kingdom maimed and lame (not taking care of health, finances, etc), and finally 100 years of listening to the GB.

  For each of those 2nd place things, they put a couple of scriptures to supposedly back them up. So where is the scriptual counsel to put your health as second place? Luke 12:25 which says those who are anxious won't add a day to their life. (Anxiety has absolutely nothing to do with taking care of your health) and 1 Tim 5:23 that says if you are sick to use some wine instead of water. (A bible remedy for sick stomach, how does that back up NOT taking care of your health?)

  They must literally crap out these teachings they come up with.

  Aaaaahhhh, Boys and Girls....didn't you notice? It's 2014!!!! They have to go "ALL IN" (I have already seen comments from Witnesses on Facebook (I spy on some of them) and they are literally peeing their pants as we speak, just because of the magic number: 2-0-1-4. They don't even know why and what it means. And now with all these wars going on and the King of the North showing up.......UUUUUUUHHHHHH......the Witness-Fanaticsm-Index must be glowing hot right now.

  Let this year pass and see how they become flacid and bored again...

  This is going to be one s***ty year for many of us faders. These guys are delusional D-bags. Basically they are saying that dubs should do nothing except be dubs and obey the GB. Seriously...what's going to happen when 2014 fades into 2015, and so on...?

  Sure will be DD. Did they miss any aspect of anybody's lives that is generally important and vital to a happy and productive live? Is there anything missing besides worshipping and distributing GB's magazines? Family life - bad, check. Health and Fitness Activities - bad, check. Higher Education and financial security - bad, check. Recreation and enjoyment of any sort - bad, check. Eating food that is enjoyable and tastes good - bad, check.

  I can't think of anything else. They should design a robot who doesn't have any human needs, including even eating or drinking, and will do 24/7 service and parrot 24/7 WT quotes as an example for what one must do to earn life forever.
