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.
Of course DaF...
In fact imagining the scenes of overblown emotions just because some people managed to take an aeroplane trip is pretty entertaining. As is the thought that the Holy Spirit(TM) was not quite clever enough to prevent the welcoming party to be infiltrated by the 5th column.

looks waaaay too close to jw.org branding, including the font, for it to be allowed to stay online by borg lawyers.
plus the video gallery page is all jw.org videos, yet the site carries this in the footer:.
Which thread George? Sorry but I seem to have missed that one.

a few quotes:.
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.
don't know quite what to say.
just stunned at the news.
comic genius and actor.. share your favorite robin williams moments.. .
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.
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????

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.
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.
