Please, take Smiddy's advice as I could not have said it any better. I can relate to your situation in that my wife did not want to hear anything critical about WT...until now. She had to experience the lack of love and genuine love first-hand for her to see the contradictions. I suppose bottom line is be patient, you love this woman, love her enough to help her see WT for what it is.

WTs on the car dashboard kinda like Catholics who place "Sacred Heart of Jesus" auto air fresheners on their rear-view mirrors.

Blondie, Watchtowers on the dash board-yes that's a dead give-away as a JW. I always wondered about that one, is that supposed to be like a talisman or do they think that the magazine will draw a potential sheep to inquire about their own faith?

2 teenage couples in a car is normally a double date and tons of fun. 2 teenage couples in the same vehicle not having fun is a JW "car group". Yep, totally JW.

Special Assembly Day - tepid applause
by sir82 injust got back from a recent sad.. after most talks, the applause was, at most, tepid.. it was striking in its tepidity, if that is possible (and if that is a word).. affter most talks, applause lasted literally no more than 5 seconds.
its volume was scarcely above a whisper.. it wasn't acoustics - the bethel speaker was technically a polished speaker (although presenting the same old boring info), and his talks generated noticeably louder applause.
but even still - that applause was maybe 10 seconds, and about normal-conversation level.. but local speakers - the applause was not much more loud than the hum coming from your refrigerator.. there were 1300+ people there.. it was just so weird - my previous large-group experience was at the agm, where people were nearly apoplectic & drooling with delight over their new "silver bibles" (which very few have read, i'd wager).. these guys were just "zombified".. speaking of bibles - bethel dude called it a "platinum bible".

Did the baptism speaker offer a prayer at the end of the talk? Why? is right.

What would the Watchtower Society do...?
by LogCon inwhen the economy collapses, and it will, worse than 2008, far worse.... ...what would the watchtower society do if a large group of homeless jw's starting camping out at wakhill, new york, perhaps in a large 'tent city'?.

Gingerbread, it sounds like the brothers were following the lead of WT. The audio drama, "Keep Your Eye Simple" mentions the followings during the Rwandan genocide: "...even when our Rwandan brothers were in dire circumstances, they often asked for spiritual food ahead of material provisions. These brothers needed everything...yet many times the first thing they asked for was a Bible or a Watchtower magazine."

Turnersville Assembly Hall
by jdubsnub inthe congregation i'm associated with had their assembly recently and i decided to go for one day.
i could not believe how much it felt like one of those mega churches you see on tv.
they've added now 2 very large tv screens on each side of the speaker as well as a monstrous projection screen above.

RE: new arrangement for Circuit Assembly streamed "special" talks.
This new feature will be useful when the order comes down from Bethel to drink the purple punch a la Jonestown '78.
