Con-vention! lol Lois. A new word. After having local DC's held at kingdom halls, we have been told we are back in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Hotel rates are $89.00 to $119.00 per day. Add gasoline, meals, tips and taxes and our vacation comes to about $500.00. A vacation sitting in a stadium for three boring days.

2014 DC: Fewer, but larger venues in the U.S.
by doinmypart inin the u.s. there are fewer venues this year, but they will be held in larger facilities.
as long as i can remember my family travelled no more than 2 hours to attend and in the last few years the dc was local (within a few minutes travel).
this year my family is driving 6 hours to a major u.s. city.

I would like to know also. I think the all powerful GB in NYC claim they are not inspired but are spirit directed.

Why do so many think JW Religion is a Cult? (NO APOSTATES PLEASE)
by Brother Mike inmy question is, why do so many think the watchtower bible tract society is a cult?
.

I 'm still involved with the Watchtower and I think it is due to the disfellowshipping and shunning policy of the WTS that it a cult. It is all about control over the rank & file members.

I agree that Jesus should be king not God. The Watchtower continues to confuse us with their ongoing propaganda.

Why do Jehovah's Witnesses keep track of field service hours?
by Faithful Witness ini understand that they claim to have the responsibility to preach to every corner of the earth, so they can encourage armageddon to come quickly.
(matthew 24:14 "and this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
what rationale do they have, for keeping track of their hours and literature placements?

If you are not towing the line you will be contacted by two high controlling elders. It's that guilt trip and fear method. I don't think Jesus required time slips from his followers.

Planning your RETIREMENT. Can anyone remember Watch Tower encouraging, in anyway, it's members to plan ahead for this eventual reality?
by LoisLane looking for Superman ini cannot think of one article written for jehovah's witnesses that deals with this important issue.. your retirement.. .
the governing body makes sure everyone looks after the gb's needs.
the gb will be moving to their new lakeside estate in 3 years.. what about everyone else below the 8 gb and their wives???.

I have never read any WT$ article that encouraged planning for retirement. After the 1975 flop I decide to take on my own retirement portfolio and same with my wife. The WT$ only wants your money but have no interest in your financial security.

If I said to my wife lets take off away from home for a few days on vacation, then perhaps she would avoid meetings. It's the only time to unwind and relax.

I am trying to get my wife out. She attends all meetings, CA's, DA's and when she gets a day off her work she's in field circus. She's tired all the time and running for the cult just adds to the stress.

OMG! They Really Have Run Out Of Ideas!
by metatron inyes, i know that the watchtower ran out of ideas a long time ago but things have really gotten bad.. take a good look a the january wt and awake.
the watchtower is a rehash of the new tract (about death) and the awake is about their jw.org website.. good grief!
when do they finally declare these rags doa and give them a decent burial?.

To keep this Generation doctrine moving is like beating a dead horse. The WT$ should scrap it. I mean how many ways can the GB twist it.
