  2017 Convention Recording: JWs Applaud 10yo Girl For Shunning Her Own Sister

  by pale.emperor in

  this poor girl was baptized at 9yo.

  .

  she isnt old enough to buy alcohol, to vote, to decide her own medical treatment, to buy a pet, to travel alone... yet she was deemed old enough to dedicate her life to a religion that will cut her off from her family if she ever leaves.. here she is applauded for shunning her own sister who tried to keep in contact with her after waking up.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yzgnfda8ki.

  Ha, I've heard it said, the word "special", as used by the Watchtower Society, deserves its own entry in dictionary, meaning: "not special".

  New Cringe Worthy Music Video From July Broadcast

  the song is supposedly about marveling at god's creation but instead includes over the top adoration of the elders, conventions, and family worship.

  lol getting a brother who sounds like a wannabe josh groban only adds to the cheesiness.

  Some moments ago, when someone we will call slimboyfat was reading the forum, he realised that a story in the Watchtower magazine sounds like it is made up nonsense.

  The book of Enoch is accepted... by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.

  Mormons tell me that their excommunication is not as harsh. They still attend services and people talk to them. They just can't take communion. Is that true?

  New Instructions?

  by FedUpJW in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i may have missed it, but i just heard from a local elder that there are "new" instructions for how the two one day assembly's are to be conducted and handled......fifty-nine pages worth.

  he said they will now all be put on the same as the regional conventions.

  did i miss that letter/orders from "mother"?

  I think a lot of people used to put in a donation at the end of the day when they got a new book in their hand. With the non-release release at this year's convention, maybe they'll get less in donations.

  2. beliefs

  every picture i have seen at him at beth shirim and other private places are with a bottle of alcohol.. while for me personally i couldn't care less anymore.... for jw's this is low moral character.

  so i'm an going to guess he was a functioning alcoholic... how did that work with his closest workers?

  was he gay too?

  Is the guy in the video related to Larc who used to post on here and was also somehow related to the Rutherford shenanigans?

  I can't imagine what would require 50 pages of new instructions.

  As far as I'm aware they've dropped the name "special assembly day" and they have one 3-day convention and two 1-day conventions/assemblies(?). Apparently there's also a push to hold smaller 3-day conventions in assembly halls.

  That's about it, I think. Nothing major, unless there's something new.

  I think scrapping the large conventions would be a mistake because they are the most popular. The small assemblies are just like large congregations and pretty boring. But the relentless trend is toward more and more boring, so that's probably what they'll do.
