so it's not enough that i'm dealing with post traumatic stress/anxiety and panic attacks all related to my life as a jw (50 years baptized -- i stopped going a couple of months ago) at 3 a.m. i get an email from the other side of the world.
'you have to go to the convention.
bro sanderson says we must watch the news, things are happening.
"Some people are saying"
Some people have never proved to be reliable,
I recommend a book on Cognitive Behavorial Therapy,
Such as: Cognitive Behavorial Therapy for Dummies
Your library should have it,
Quite effective against anxiety,
All the best,

i went through the original footage to get a good look at the watch.. from these pictures we can probably say that it is a apple watch and that it has a golden color.
the color on the pin is black, and the band is white, grey, silvery or beige.. .
the pin is in the exact place for it to be a apple watch.. only apple watch edition have the gold color.
Wow this man is thrifty to be able to save that well on a Special Service allowance!

I was just thinking that in Canada years ago, all Bethelites took vows of poverty for tax reasons,

i think the finished mystery book probably contains the stupidest beliefs ever recorded!
almost any prophecy publication but especially anything to do with revelation, is unbelievable!

i don't think this applies to the watchtower corporation as the beginning this is talking about the more extreme forms.
but interesting just the same.
i'm sure we see some of the wt's depictions of death and and destruction(verbal and in pictures) that awaits those not in corporate "jehovah's" favor, a clear uses of inducing maximum fear and stress to make the mind more suggestable to corporate directives.
NWT talks about "mental regulation" , Paul says that the goal is: that "every thought become captive to the Christ", FOG (Fear Obligation Guilt) sounds to me like brainwashing, just a more insidious form,
Brainwashing lite?

I'm trying to reconcile the idea that A GOVERNING BODY MEMBER was PUBLICLY wearing even what appears to be a $10,000 watch when an MS is being deleted over him having a beard,
The latter was being done on the basis that a brother with a beard was not "modest"
Huh?

i could only think of weddings and wedding anniversaries .
Watch Tower rationale concerning Thanksgiving is that it's a "National Holiday", celebrating it would therefore be "breaking Christian neutrality"

Where did you grow up? :)
In my part of the world you could NOT mix Spiritual EventsTM with anything enjoyable, it would render the spiritual power of said event null and void,
Ya Vol!!

Don't know how to answer your question: Does "wine and cheese party" qualify as a celebration!
Doubtfully Yours adds "just because"
JWS will make up all sorts of things to get together so,
