JV2:--I know a very young speaker who in the last, no. 5? talk, (that has now been eliminated) yielded to his father's advice, admonition. The talk was on "The meek will inherit the earth- 144 000, New world etc." but he finished with the conclusion : " and is it not pleasant, desirable to have meek people around us today? " a rare quality in that congregation. scrubbed from the list. too entertaining.

23Why the meetings are boring and uninspiring
by UnshackleTheChains ineach individual may have their own views as to why they feel the meetings are boring and uninspiring.
in my case i find the midweek meeting so, because of the constant emphasis on pitching watchtower literature.
its just monotonous and one big yawn.. i watch other christian faiths where they open up a chapter of the bible and discuss it's contents.

Will #metoo have an affect on forcing changing attitudes at Watchtower?
by jwfacts indespite decades of the feminist movement, watchtower's attitude of woman being inferior has changed little, with pauline sexism justified as inspired, on the basis that women are lesser emotionally, intellectually and physically.
jehovah's witnesses seem to accept this with little resistance.
is there anything about the #metoo movement that may wake followers up?

As you are deeply familiar with a matriarchal society, the coming posts should have neutral treatment by you.
Humanity seems to have been struggling for a long time how to fit the aggressive sexual nature of males into an acceptable harness, and a new standard in western societies seems to tip into a total reversal, where it is only the female that is allowed to show readiness to get the ball rolling on the gentlest of slopes. Joseph's story a precursor of that. (slave ordered to a command performance).
I would be very surprised if there is a recent "brother Weinberg" in the closets of the wt hierarchie. But yes, there is at least one female in my immediate family that has been seriously propositioned in bethel. Never a thought of me too ing that.
This question of yours would not involve minors, therefore not have a criminal / police dimension. so, keeping them hushed up, would be so much easier. Theocratic me-tooers would not exist.

Then they could move jesus kingdom rule from 1914 to the year Sputnik went up. Any crazy thing they think of the JWs will buy it. Crazy guy:
or the moment that man went to heaven, Gagarin, or the atom bomb converted mass to energy in a big way, (always did) . but as franztone pointed out. it is not necessary, David with his overlapping gheezers gets wt to 2075.
Franztone . Franz
istheone !2 a little bit older Franzes, a 20 year overlap, 2075. voila.
wt believes it, planning, building to last that long.

How do we know there is something basically wrong on top of the 156 + 4 ***year long Splane Generation? watch the video to the bitter end.
wt jw org has the earth spinning the wrong way, they got time backward.
*** 1 st group, older than Franz 1914 - 1992 +~2 = ~80 years,
2nd group, like the first, but older than Franz too, , ~ 80 years. 1994 plus 80 years ~ 2074 to GT, 2075 for P.p.Paradise. total of the 2 groups, = 160 years! seriously. and that is not counting the overlap of 2x21 years.
I Splane Generation, 2 groups = ~160 years, no wonder their Earth spins backward.

Little mindmines in the Oct. 2017
by days of future passed init is difficult for me to say exactly what i mean on this subject.
my sister sent me a link to the oct, 2017 wt simplified article (which has been discussed about the shunning) and i found it disturbing of course, how the wt gives advice, different for each sex, along with the "unbelieving" mate dissing.. wt - although an unbelieving husband may not take the lead in spiritual matters, he should be respected because of his position as the head of the family.
likewise, an unbelieving wife should be shown self-sacrificing love and tender affection by her christian husband.—eph.

The big difference is how they want to be nice to unbelieving mates (even recognising the legal right of an unbelieving husband to "call the shots" in the family), but all that does not apply to disfellowshipped, DAed, other family members, they are to be treated in the rudest unchristian manner.

The International Space Station passing Overhead At 10:22 pm ESDST Lakes entrance Victoria Australia.
by smiddy3 init`s always a buzz to see this with the naked eye and know that their are human beings orbiting the earth a couple of hundred miles up every 90 minutes or so .. the wife and i were just sitting out on our porch/patio waiting for the cool change to arrive when i noticed this "star" moving across the sky in a se/nw (?
) direction { i hope that`s right }.
anyhow i thought some others on here may be interested in tracking the iss from time to time.. by the way the cool change hasn`t arrived here yet it`s still quite warm though not as hot as it was today at 41 deg c.

This, of course, is a hoax. NASA has been flying planes 24-7 over populated areas exactly where the ISS should be found in the night sky. MMM:
that shows you how desperate Nasa is to maintain, hide the flat earth, no moon landing, ufo, truths. These planes with their fake extended solar panels configuration resemble the first attempts at flight, very unstable. just waiting for more powerful magnification to expose them anyway. another trump embarrassment to come twittering along.
Planes have blinking lights, ISS shines brightly, the Sun does not blink.

Women must not instruct men, even by singing a theocratic song.
by Ultimate Axiom ini did a quick search and this doesn’t appear to have been commented on here, but if it has been, i apologise in advance for starting an unnecessary thread.. regarding a change to a song title, the study article on page 7 paragraph 17 of november 2017 watchtower explained, “the change of the title “guard your heart” to “we guard our hearts” was most considerate.
in the audience at our meetings, assemblies, and conventions are many new ones, interested ones, young ones, and sisters who by singing the words would be put in the awkward position of telling others what to do.
so the title and the lyrics were modified.”.

taken together with the avalanche of now fashionable sexual interference revelations, (check your daily resignation roster), The evisceration of the males' evolution-derived pro-sex attitude is in full swing. Wt actually provides more microphone-amplifier time to the female voices than most religions, by number. No Catholic or Muslim voices there.
ladies be grateful to wt. The coveted Micro***-phone servant positions are all to mostly serve you.
***to show how miniscule a coveted privilege can be.
