maybe it was my mood, but last night the meeting seemed really over the top cultish.. mainly the latter portion that just focused on presentation videos which always seem creepy to me anyway.. then the local needs was pre-empted by a video all about ldc which seemed completely pointless.
(on a side note my wife knew a couple of different people in it).
the congregation "bible" study which dealt with the ever changing cover of the watchtower magazine.
pale.emporer - Pity they didnt enlist the services of Prince in the bethel writing dept. Could've had some bass and high pitched falsetto.
Imagine the song titles:
House 2 House

Nu Lite
When Sisters Cry
D'fed 4 U
Money Does Matter 2 Night

i'm not really sure what this charity 250 index is trying to do.
partly because i'd expect a few big household name charities to be on it at the top.
i've copied the table below - see positions 19 (up from 70) and 130 (up from 202).
Hmmm, I wonder how much money the JW Russian branch has donated to Watchtower Britain.
Keep in mind that donations from Watchtower branches all over Europe and Africa make their way to Watchtower Britain.
Also, while not a donation but a non-secured loan, Watchtower Australia has run its operations into the red by passing millions onto Watchtower Britain. Add to that millions and millions more Watchtower Australia has donated to overseas charities (all controlled by the GB) during the ARC hearings until the cash was all gone.

14 Evidence of angelic assistance
A dogmatic statement that there is evidence to support the claim that there is evidence of angelic assistance.
watchtower magazine feb. 2017 study ed.
page 25 paragraph 8. studied at all kingdom halls worldwide in the last week of april 2017. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-study-february-2017/who-is-leading-gods-people-today/.
8 in the late 19th century, charles taze russell … zion’s watch tower tract society … with brother russell as president.
doubtfull1799 - Not to mention this false caption - there was no such things as the GB until the 70's. From 1919-1971 Jehovah's direction was given "through the office of the President." See 1943 Yearbook.
Photographic evidence of the perpetration of a lie. Nathan Knorr (sitting behind desk) never claimed to be of the "anointed class" and never partook at the Lord's Evening Meal. Yet the Watchtower claims that the "faithful and discreet slave" are the governing body. As the photo shows and Watchtower historical revisionism now inadvertantly teaches, Nathan Knorr presided over and controlled all meetings, be they of the governing body or "faithful and discreet slave."
This then begs the question: Was Knorr the "evil slave"? No, because the current GB teaches there is no "evil slave" and that there never has been.
watchtower ever “simplifies” its “arrangements”.
no more food.
one-day circuit assemblies…no more “special assembly day”--it was a sad occasion anyways.
I believe Stephen Lett is developing a JW baptism app to download on your smartphone or tablet called "bAPPtism".

kazakhstan is a landlocked country in central asia that shares borders with russia, china, kyrgyzstan, uzbekistan, and turkmenistan, and also adjoins a large part of the caspian sea.. kazakhstan is 70% muslim.
Not a good verdict for Ahmadov and I feel sorry for him and his family. Unfortunately the JWs and Watchtower literature have been spewing forth religious hatred for well over a hundred years.

russian catholic official criticizes court ban on jehovah's witnesses.
by jonathan luxmoore, catholic news service.
Remember when the JWs condemned action taken by courts or governments to stifle the activities of the Catholic Church?
Wait a sec ...

i've noticed that lately the wt has been using the date 1919 more often.
in an almost matter of fact way, they will state that this is the year jesus finished refining his people and appointed the fds.
the only problem is there is little proof or even prophetic antitypes given for why this must have been the year.
Don't worry. The next revised version of the Revised New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures will correct any discrepencies that the bible has thereby bringing it inline with current teachings of the Watchtower magazine. Oh, and to prove the new revised version is the new truth backed by jehovah the GB will find at least three more places to insert the name 'jehovah' into the bible.

Watchtower real estate assets in Russia = 330 + buildings = worldwide letter writing campaign
Watchtower real estate assets in Kazakhstan = 0 = no such campaign
