  Welcoming International Delegates for London 2014 IC

  by Da.Furious in

  i had the pleasure of joining jw's on the weekend to greet the international delegates who are attending the london 2014 international convention at twickenham.. nothing interesting, just waiting for someone with a badge to come through the doors and all will cheer!

  the interesting part is how they are behaving:.

  1- the overseer: looked really bored, trying to impress surroundings by talking loud and how he can talk to immigration and check on passengers.

  I have been reading the same and it beggers belief that they think this is logical. I have to bite my tounge not to post and expose myself.

  In an amazing coincidence the BBC showed the Family Guy episode where Peter turns everyone into Robin Williams about 1 hour before the news was announced.

  "We're calling on your neighbours to promote a website"

  wow, it's true - they don't call to 'promote god's kingdom' anymore but just their website!.

  we just had an old lady call and tell us that was exactly what they were doing and it has "lots of good things on their for children".

  yeah, right ... sparlock?.

  I've had a similar thought @theredeemer. They can use website statistics to claim a true global witness is being given. Again, I hope they do since it's a marker that implies more developments but of course none will come.

  Well I for one hope millions of people go to the web site and ready the latest YPA on Creation v Evolution. I really thought the WTS had worked out not to use the worst, most debunked arguments against evolution (at least in public) yet there they are for all to read.

  Young Rational People Ask....WTF????

  JWs: not creationists but believe in creation...

  i've been having a bit of an email exchange with elder dad and i need some advice.

  i thought i was getting through to him but i think my criticism and tone became a bit too strident in my last email and now he thinks that i am attacking him personally.

  i think he has dismissed everything i said because he perceived me as 'overally critical, and rude.. .

  Prior to Noah's flood, the cleaner fish cleaned up the scraps of coconut husk that the shark used his teeth to crack. The coconuts were from trees that grew near the water; the coconuts fell and then floated out to sea.

  Next question?

  You laugh, but I can think of a good half-dozen JWs who would come up with some variation of the above as an explanation.

  I know a Witness (not that old) who still thinks dinosaurs were alive at the time of flood and were there to clean up dead animals.

  Suicide - How many do you know within the JWs

  by Lady Lee in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  thw wts likes to play games with their statistics.

  one interesting but truly tragic is the number of jwhovah's witnesses who commit suicie.. now i suspect that if a person commits suicide shortly before or after they are disfellowshipped then the elders would say that person wasn't a witness or that they had done something so terrible that they were too guilty to admit it and by their action of committing suicide they pretty much declared they were no longer a jw.. yup fancy talk to make sure any crap didn't fall on them.. so my question.. do you know of cases like this?

  if so then can you answer a few more questions.. had this person been dfed or in real danger of being dfed or whatever the equivalent is if they were never baptized?.

  I know a sister who had a history of depression and mental illness who killed herself.

  I also know a guy in his twenties who hanged himself in the New Forest after being exposed as having child porn on his computer. The sad thing is that this was just history repeating itself as he had been abused himself.

  Something Big is Coming...

  the annual meeting of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will be in october 2014.. .. in november 2013, just after the last one they published this now famous statement in the 15th of november 2013 watchtower page 16 paragraph 17 says:.

  "at that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from jehovahs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.

  all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.".

  The translation work was highlighted by a foreign language overseer in a very recent talk to an English speaking congregation in the Mediterranean.

  He said that it is currently around 600 languages and they want 1000 by September. This will never happen in the timeframe but I think there is something in the multi-lingual side of things. I think they (a) may relate it to bible prophecy and use it as a way to get out of 1 billion people not having any meaningful access to the D2D/cart preaching work, (b) want ever bigger numbers to compare to wikipedia and google language numbers and (c) try and reach more peoiple via the website

  Female Attendants

  by Quarterback in

  2. friends

  the best thing to come from the regenal convention this summer, is to see women used as attendants at the end of the program.

  they were used in distributing the new publications to convention delegates..

  There has been female attendants at UK comventions for years but their role has been limited to looking after the needs of the infirm and any female related special need. This includes monitoring the queue for the ladies loos.

  Local Witnesses joyfully open their hearts thinking the leash has slackened!

  Is this a harbinger of a change for the better?

  No. The leash will snap tight after the last delegate flies back home.

  Spot on Steve!
