    Thanks for the shout out for the baby registry! 🥹 Love you bro.
    So much appreciation for this community. Thank you to all of you that chip in.
    We're breaking the cycle and it is scary and going to be hard without some of the typical family support not being there, but we know this baby boy is going to be surrounded by unconditional love. ❤️

    When I served in Texas, it was 140 miles to San Antonio to attend a regional convention. A good 4 hour drive. I never used JW suggestions for Motels as the last thing I wanted was to rub shoulders with stuck up self righteous individuals after suffering through a hot day at a Convention. One time in Portland Oregon they kicked me out of the section for Seniors and disabled because they said I didn't look old enough. And I had bilateral hip replacements, which made it difficult for me to scoot sideways in the regular convention seating. They were not nice to me. So I just left. 😮 one really has to experience the fake love bombing that exists at these Conventions.

      You are spot on. I foolishly got baptized when I was 30 years old and only a few years ago woke up and left. I went to assemblies and conventions in San Antonio, and early on there was a weird thing that happened in our family. My husband and I would scream and fight at each other when we were going back and forth to the conventions and I thought, something isn't right here, God's spirit should help us to get along, we never fight. So thinking back on that now, I can't believe how stupid I was to stay in this satanic cult without waking up sooner.

    We never had these ridiculous videos when I was going to conventions as a kid. At least it would have broke up the monotony of listening to these bumbling idiots. Conventions were so incredibly boring. You try to space out your bathroom breaks so you can stretch and just walk around. As a kid we would literally take a yellow school bus with no AC with others in our congregation to Yankee Stadium from our Kingdom Hall. Sitting in the sweltering August heat for days - I don’t know how we endured this year after year!

    • @truelove11.11
      @truelove11.11 29 дней назад +6

      You are right about spacing out the bathroom breaks, and the lines were loooong, especially outside the women's bathroom. People were weirdly happy that the lines were so long, because then they felt that they could stretch their legs for longer and talk with others in the line, without feeling guilty for not paying full attention to what was going on at the stage all the time.
      In the 1980's and 90's they had two 'live plays' to break up the monotony instead of the video's, one in two acts with costumes, and another shorter more modern play during the 4 day summer conventions.
      Everybody sat there in the sweltering heat, waiving their 'Chinese hand fans', or used their publications to get some wind in their faces.
      Also to break the monotony, a lot of people with babies and the elderly brought their camping chairs, and sat outside the convention halls, licking sun while listening to the speakers that were placed on the outside of the convention hall..
      We endured because in those days the end was to come very very soon, and at the latest before the year 2000 begun!

      As a teenager in the 60's, brought in by my parents, circuit assembly wasn't too bad. That was still when lunches could be " contributed " towards. Most of us older teens 'volunteered' for kp duties. That way there was a wired speaker in the kitchen we could listen to, But we were actually having a grand old time conversing with each other and getting to make REAL friendships, not the fake kind of today. Dist. we're an absolute bore. Glad that those days are long over for me.

      ​@@jazzkittenirl Don't recall meals ever being free at the Watchtower conventions. Real charities, like the Salvation Army, gave away food for free, but the Watchtower offered tokens that you could buy from the cashier at the beginning of each convention day. The tokens had an assigned value, and when one stood in line at a table serving diverse foods, one could get a token prised item according to the value of the token that you had. Whether it was a small pizza square, a hot dog, some mashed potato, coffee, cake or a small soft drink, the price was typically 1-2 dollars per item in the 80's - 90's, so conventions weren't a charity where you could get free or cheap food.
      Also, at the end of each convention you could not exchange the remainder of the tokens value back into cash, so the only thing you could do was to donate the leftover tokens into the WT donation boxes that were placed at the exits of the convention centre, as those tokens had no value in the outside world. The next convention had tokens with different colours, so you could not save them either for the next time.

    Hey Wally, in the Netherlands they now have 10 conventions in "Swifterband" which is a location completely owned by them and is also used for the other assemblies. They've renovated it so they can use this for all the assemblies. In the past they rented the "Jaarbeurs" in Utrecht, but to reduce costs they've moved all the conventions to Swifterband (because it's owned by them since 1975 and the mortgage is already payed off because it takes 30-40 years to pay it all). Maybe it's interesting to look into this. So indeed only costs for utilities and no mortgage costs. One big cash cow.

    DISTRICT CONVENTIONS ARE BIG MONEY. The donations that WATCHTOWER makes off of everything connected to their conventions, are huge profits. Last year, Casa Grande Arizona, Assembly Hall, had conventions there for about 4 months straight, every weekend. Their one day conventions are roughly $12,000 in expenses, when they own the building before it was finished being built. And yet when schools were rented, like in Holbrook, AZ, it cost them $1,200 a weekend for a 2 day. Assembly Halls are huge profit making buildings, more than if they rented a huge stadium, they make more per day at their paid for Assembly Halls. Pure evil.

    Great breakdown of this wally. But it's sickening to see these grown behind men with new beards that gray and they just got permission like little kids really sad they don't even see it.

    Money is really seriously getting to be an issue for them. Their growth now is not the west. Africa, Asia is the core growth now. Not going to have many donations, so need to up the begging for money. Of course flipping luxury properties and Kingdom halls using free labour is acceptable but doesn't bring in enough millions 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
    Anyone else noticed their congregations highly reflect this shift of congregation ? I noticed that at least more than half of the congregation I know are now Nigerian. Are the Witnesses actually funding people to come to assist their lack of interest by the local population ?
    This is not to say I dislike that congregation. Just seems a loss in congregation members have to replace.
    The members will be enthralled by the new Jesus drama. I suggest just watch the Chosen. Gives an emotional attachment to the Gospels and the Bible characters, without giving a biased slant.

      @@exjehovahswitness Agree whole heartedly about the deep pockets. The organisation is essentially a property flipping business, it is obvious. I will never donate when they don't even agree with localised charity work for (wordly people) A lot of other Churches even have food banks to help struggling families.
      Being honest I am increasingly worried about a few members of my local congregation. They are so entrenched in the doctrine. That is the main reason for staying. I was never brought up in the "Truth" and am older, so see the glaring cultiness. They know I am their best bet to try and get my family, friends in. That will never happen. They are so eager to keep me in that I get away with asking as many uncomfortable questions as I want. Also read the bible alone to get my own reasoning.
      I have a huge fondness for the rank and file witness. I will never isolate myself my family, friends outside if the ORG.
      Guess eventually will just have to wear a cross to a meeting and leave if they won't wake up.

      @@exjehovahswitnessThe problem with that is, other than the occasional resolution to cover congregational expenses, nothing is put to a vote of the rank-and-file publishers. Membership in the legal corporation has been limited to not more than 500 since October 1, 1945 (when the Charter amendments from the previous year took effect). Each change is announced and implemented by headquarters-and each change makes the organization just a little bit worse than before. Far from being shared, current witnesses are nothing more than human ATM’s from which the Society makes withdrawals at each turn. Or, to put it another way, Jehovah’s witnesses work for the Society and pay for the “privilege and honor” of doing so.
