What will they say then?
by MrFreeze inthis is just hypothetical.
let's say that the wt never dissolves.
it continues in existence until the year 2914. what do you think they'd be saying about 1914 and armageddon being just around the corner then?.

Has anyone here ever attended the WT's Annual General Meeting ?
by wobble inmy sister has been invited this year, i would be interested to hear first hand experience of what she may expect, the kind of (boring) stuff that will be on the agenda, and anything else.. why invite someone like her ?
i guess a kindly c.o has identified her as a loyal wt drone who has had no recognition.
she has been in full-time work for the wt for over forty years, most of those as a special pioneer, she never married, totally devoted to the religion.. nice that she is to be acknowledged, of course she will have to pay for her flight (from europe) and other expenses, and god, sorry, i mean the governing body, (the wt god), will not know who she is, or that she is there.. i can imagine that when she returns home ,she will be feted as a celebrity for getting so close to god , oops, done it again, the gb, and people will be under the impression that she is privy to some new "light".. what is the reality of this farce ?.

Therapist Visit / part 2
by man in black infor the past several weeks i have been seeing a wonderful therapist who ran a grief support group that i attended 1 1/2 years ago when my mom died.. at the time i was just absolutley shocked that after 30 years of being a wt slave only 5 people bothered to send a card regarding her passing.. i brought up to her in detail how the jw religion does not look favorably on anyone who doesn't agree 100% with their way of thinking, and moving forward that still affects me to a certain extent, esp.
the shunning.. well, she brought up several times how the witness "mindset" of collective thinking (i kept thinking of the borg in star trek ) discourages individuality.
this thinking has carried over in other aspects of my life, tendrils she said that work against other normal human behavior feelings.. the key is how a person deals positivley with the new way of dealing with unknown, or repressed emotions.
