Well. The District convention is 2/3 done. Would have been better to have stayed home and pulled out my fingernails. They spouted the usual crap, using the inter-organizational social pressures to push the R&F to do more, do more, do more.
They warned about PORNOGRAPHY. Seems the little Dubbies, specially the elders and MS, can’t stop looking at iNet porno. (The CO warned us about this in a closed meeting a while back.) The ability to restrain oneself from this should come from within. But the WTBTS doesn’t foster that. So there’s no restraint on a dub when there’s nobody around. SO they fixed that. They told all the wives that the “brothers” who are doing the peek-a-boob, are on “late at night or early in the morning”. Now the wives will be doing the watching for the big “O” and keeping the “brothers” pure as the driven snow.
Too bad it’s still an outside force, and not the inner self of the man, controlling him. I guess the big “S” wins another one with his “God’s Org” –Godhead.
They also made a big deal about APOSTATES. OoooooHH.. Don’t listen to them tharr apostaties doods. Like we didn’t know that was coming.
Lot’s and lot’s of social pressure to CONFORM to the WTBTS dicta. Lot’s of scripture twisting too, like usual.
I counted 18 times in the one day when a speaker used a scripture that is used over and over and over and made a statement to the effect of “a verse we all know well” or you will recall this verse” etc. They use the same stuff over and over, so damned often. Why not, I guess. Their agenda doesn’t change, why should their methods. A while ago, the Society told us not to use phrases such as these in our teaching parts. Guess some "bro's" can't stop. Probably they feel embarassed at the continual overuse of only certain verses and try to soften their guilt with these phrases.
So much using of verses out of context, to twist the entire meaning. They only read the few words that they want, and then put them in a completely different context.
Made me sick too, when they talked about the clergy, who do put emphasis on their traditions, yet they do no less.
Hypocrites.
Their was one encouragement though! About 300 were baptized. Why is this encouraging? Cause I know that at least as many in that audience will quit the damned org this year, so I was looking at folks and guessing who’s next to go out the revolving Watchtower door.
