Very true. It is so annoying and disgusting. I bet she got brownie points at the local KH or maybe she will get an appearance on JW TV.
The first picture is interesting:
She is standing with a raised head, show of strength or something. While Obama is head down, sorry for the loss!
She is there to advertise not respect.

Some of the comments are really interesting.
Link to article:
This was shared on Facebook by a brother. Unfortunately the comments are not really what a JW would expect.
it is strange to read the last week watchtower that encouraging child/teenagers' baptism.
even jesus was baptised as his 30. jws encouraging marriages at an older age.
but why they are encouraging children to get baptised.
Technically they did not encourage child baptism. The article was how to make sure you are ready to be baptized. There was some advice mentioned on how to make sure the child is ready.
But what they failed to show is the examples they gave were not for children they were for youth. This group if for 15 -25 year old.
Unfortunately for every single JW family with children this article was playing on driving the children to ask the questions and think they are ready.
Although they mention it was a really important decision, one fact they forgot to mention if you take the decision to get baptized and later sin there is no way back. Like taking the red pill.

i can't comment on this topic on either of my devices or multiple browsers.. so we're shutting down topics now are we?
i'm assuming you've disabled commenting due to your feeling that it's a troll.
TBH, Simon can identify IP addresses and when accounts get created. Some users have been known to create multiple accounts and troll or fake stories.

interesting aspect on this is that no where in the article there is a mention for how much it was sold.. on brooklyn daily eagle, it states that the building was sold for $105million to florida panthers (hockey team) owner.. http://www.brooklyneagle.com/articles/2016/5/2/jehovahs-witnesses-sell-124-columbia-heights-florida-panthers-owner-vincent-viola.
da furious.
One of the comments from JWtalk about this article
"You know what I've come to appreciate about us? Is that we are not overly-attached to material things. I mean, these properties contain our history, and are significant no doubt. But the Slave is setting an example for us that material things should not take priority.
Many, or better most, religions would hold on to their historical buildings even to their own detriment. We are more than willing to move on IF THE NEED ARISES. When this old world is gone, we will have to willing to leave our things behind.
The Slave is leading by example in this regard."
and another:
"But I just wanted to make the point that the GB just does 'preach' about how we should view material things, they act on it too. They've simplified when needed (and are doing that now in fact), and make the needed changes."

Just saw this on JW.org:
Interesting aspect on this is that is no mention at all for how much it was sold.
On Brooklyn Daily Eagle, it states that the building was sold for $105million to Florida Panthers (hockey team) owner.
Da Furious
i am just curious who on this board is in the same situation has i am?
a spouse that is fully brain doogled in and you are awake to ttatt.. without going into serious detail and no names are given.
i would like to possible talk with one of you all, it's just so helpful to communicate with someone in the same situation as me.. i am located in the southwest united states..
a current jw told me there was going to be a special talk (tm) from the governing body(r) next month.
apart from the usual hilarious jw tv stuff, i haven't heard of anything.. any info any one?
the jw didn't seem to know much either.
Don't have full details yet, but GB members are no going to be in the UK only helpers on this Branch Visit.
It will on a Saturday for 3 hours including WT study.
In other words, another torture session!
Last time when GB member Sanderson was visiting, he announced that coincidentally during his visit the approval for Chelmsford plans was granted by the authorities.
Wonder what sort of coincidence this time will occur.
following on from another op who brought to our attention the new draconian blood card policy .i'm planning on visiting my dr to discuss this issue in advance.
i'm planning on telling her how jw's and possibly me will be blackmailed into signing this but really won't want the hlc involved and may want blood if needed.. i'm thinking about writing a letter that could be kept on file for future reference outling these issues, what do you think i should say in it?
ideas gratefully received thanks x.
As per announcement:
- The new card is advertised as simplified card to take the most important decision in your life - no need to worry about fractions,etc - it is simple: I refuse to take any WHOLE blood.
- All have to sign the card and provide a copy to:
1- Secretary,
2- Each witness
3- GP
4- Lawyer
The letter did not hint to the new paragraph that states no other legal paper work can take precedence over this directive.
Copies of the directive to be given to the witnesses is new.
I am refusing to sign it, let alone give copies to anyone. What is their data protection policy regarding individuals? What about how they handle my data in a congregation!
This new directive is extremely annoying. Waiting to see how elders will witch hunt members. I never gave a copy of my old directive to the secretary or even GP. I dont even carry it.
the time they actually spend knocking on doors and cart work??
?
