Does anyone have access to the convention dates in the US for this year? Seems like they were always listed in the first Watchtower of the year. Are they still doing that?

LOVE-BOMBING TRAINING just before the Memorial

by Alfred in

the last memorial i attended was in 2010 and i havent been to the kh since june of 2010... but when i was in, it seemed like every year, usually 1 or 2 weeks before the memorial, the service meeting would have a skit on how to behave when new faces enter the kingdom hall on memorial night.. it was always extremely painful for me to watch (and sometimes humorous) because the elder in charge of that service meeting part would usually select 4 of the grumpiest elderly sisters in the congo to do the skit.

one pair of sisters would play the part of the "love-bombing" jws and the other pair would play the interested ones entering the kh for the first time.

then they would switch roles and change up the script a little.. i always thought to myself: those sisters are never going to put that into practice... theyll show up late before even thinking of love-bombing anyone.

More "Elders" Doubt They Are Appointed By The "Holy Spirit"!

by Bubblegum Apotheosis in

the study edition of the watchtower says the elders are appointed by jehovah's holy spirit.

it's confounding the society does not realize that more and more elders, do not accept this claim.

i have racked my brain, wondering how many brothers and sisters actually believe this, fall hook and sinker.

watson

Eggnog, I am really impressed with your grasp of the society's teachings. I mean it. No sarcasm. Absolutely incredible. Are you, or have you ever been a part of the writing department? The time and effort you have put into your studies is amazing to me. I hope you continue to reach out. Leadership is in your future!

Can anyone prove that birthday celebrations are forbidden by God?

by FaithfulBrother in

i know that there is no mention of any birthday celebrations in the bible besides the two which were celebrated by non-believers.

and it just so happened that on each of these events, someone died (one non-believer and one believer).

but does it mean that just because the bible mentions these two events, that all birthday celebrations are forbidden?

watson

I have a feeling that one of the reasons Jehovah's Witnesses don't celebrate birthdays is that they are a custom that we would spend money on..... that could go into the Watchtower coffers.
