Thanks minimus.
Refreshing to read an account that conveys a fairness in your experiences when you were in the organization. Your words show why you were so approachable.

Sunday Notes at the District Convention An emotional plea to young ones
by truthseeker incontinue following me john 21:19. much of the program was similar to the previous two days.
the fact that jesus has appeared in almost every talk title suggests that the society is once again morphing its tactics to persuade more persons that they arent an old testament cult but an alternative christian denomination.. i repeat my previous assertion that there is a manipulative intelligence at work here.
no ordinary person could possible have such foresight and such knowledge of human behavior to think and write the things these watchtower writers do.

Thanks truthseeker for the notes.
And a special shout out goes to Blondie and her review of the Watchtower on this site. The GB dopes are paying attention to her "WHERE IS JESUS? addons."
They decided to use him as this year's theme Bible character.

Thanks Blondie. I can only relate to the elders at the congregation I'm assigned to, but haven't attended for many months.....they're idiots. IMO many of the lowly rank and file are ignoring their (elders) "position" hence the article reminding everyone to OBEY them even though they are often wrong. The one positive thing is that 70% sitting through this crap will forget the "councel" 10 minutes after they leave.

Re: The successful lawsuit for the 16 victims and how JWs will view this
by juni ini applaud the outcome that love/norris accomplished for the sixteen victims of abuse.. but, i have a concern.
it is this: for the rank and file jw, won't they view this as their "faithful and discreet" slave just got beat up by those awful apostates (associating this with the silent lambs group) ?.
i feel for some jws who are "sitting on the fence" to use their term that hopefully they will think long and hard about what is happening in the organization - considering the facts.. what do you think?.

Hi Juni,
I agree with those who say this will have little or no effect on the thinking of most in the organization. The gag order was a protection for the WTS because the 16 victims aren't able to speak out about the abuse and their well deserved settlement. If they were able to there would be a hell of a lot more news coverage for the R&F to view and form an open opinion about. I also agree that the SilentLambs involvement is a benefit to the WTS because now R&Fers will associate it all as an attack by apostates......not as sexually abused victims. .

WILL THE WATCHTOWER EVER DO THE RIGHT THING AND APOLOGIZE?
by nvrgnbk inwill this arrogant, presumptuous organization that has ruined so many lives, that loves to talk about humility and modesty, ever present a formal apology to all those who've suffered at their hands?.
would it really matter if they did?.

I don't think they (GB/NY) feel there is a need to apologize for any of their mistakes as long as the vast majority of followers accept the "light grows brighter" side stepping they do. It always amazes me when I confront anyone within the congregation with proof of mistakes the famous "watchtower" wall goes up between me and them.

Maybe the whole rehash of the eartquake thing is because of the 2004 tsunimi. Hell it probably took the bobbleheads in NY this long to write the outline.
