My jaw literally fell open when I read the convention program. I really hope that "shun" talk doesn't F&&& up my restored relationship with my parents.
Why did I have to be born into this freaking cult?!?!

Pshycos! - 2016 "Remain Loyal to Jehovah" Regional Convention Program
by thedepressedsoul inwow this is interesting!
i think how much emphasis this puts on "loyalty" shows their is an issue.
they're trying to plug the wholes as much and quickly as possible.

I went since I'm trying to get reinstated. It was held in a crappy motel with a poorly functioning air conditioner. Combined with 180 people, it was just so fun! -

And I thought Jehovah said "the silver is mine and the gold is mine"? I guess the credit cards aren't and we have to hand that over ourselves 😑 -

ABBA's "Jehovah's Witness" Birthday Song
by Simon ini came across this on wikipedia, it made me laugh at how random it was:.
in january 1981, ulvaeus married lena källersjö, and manager stig anderson celebrated his 50th birthday with a party.
for this occasion, abba recorded the track "hovas vittne" (a pun on the swedish name for jehovah's witness and anderson's birthplace, hova) as a tribute to him, and released it only on 200 red vinyl copies, to be distributed to the guests attending the party.

"Don't make mountains out of molehills"
by stephanie61092 induring the talk today, the speaker said, in reference to apostates, "don't make mountains out of molehills" and "all those who are do good to look up isaiah 43:18.
" to save you trouble, it says: "do not remember the former things, and do not dwell on the past.".
i'd like to see him read that scripture to the victims of the hundreds and hundreds of abuse cases the arc has unveiled from over the past 50 years.

Rework of the JW Childrens project to coerce them into giving more.
by notjustyet ini tool the jw image and edited it so that it would look like it was made by the catholics to .
entice their children to give their money to the catholic church.. if you have any jws that have not seen the original yet, give this to them and let them paint themselves into a corner slamming the catholics for stooping so low and then let them in on the fact that it originated with the jws.. .

The memorial beauty pageant
by BlackWolf insince the memorial is coming up soon and its about time for me to go shopping for a new memorial ( aka easter) dress, i've realized what the memorial really is for us teenage girls, a beauty pageant!
the memorial is the day i spend painting my nails, curling my hair, and carefully applying makeup because my mother says i have to "represent jehovah" and look my best.
in reality its just to impress the newcomers and to compete with the other girls.

It's so very true. I would do it for the memorial, conventions and assemblies. I always had to have a new dress, and I would always go the extra mile with hair and make up. It was the most fun part of these events. It's funny to look back now at how hypocritical I was. I used to mock people who only showed up for the memorial in that they were no better than worldly people who only went to church on Easter. But I was the same as a religious worldly person on Easter, with buying a brand new memorial dress.
