Evidently this is just JW Propaganda. The real truth about "The Truth" and their loveless ungodly ways:
There isn't a lot of JW happiness in Michigan USA: 
 

They started out with a $3,500 carry-over but by the end of the day they were short $25,000. The speaker eloquently beseeched the audience to go the ATM machines and give their generous contribution or at least their widow's mite. After the sessions were over, our friend who attended walked from one end of the assembly hall and then to the other end and noticed long lines up to both machines with people who couldn't wait to run up their credit cards. Later in the car, even his hard-core JW wife mentioned that she wondered how it cost that much for a one-day assembly in a building that was fully paid for.
I'm guessing maybe a paedophile lawsuit happened during the interval.

The video starts in a board room meeting where a group of men are brainstorming experiences which they can share – and one of the pinpoints “Sally”. ?
The clip then cuts to a young woman walking around what appears to be a market.
She seeÂ’s women wearing rainbow bracelets, with rainbow posters showing two stick-figure women holding hands.
When she goes to the till she’s asked if she would like to “make a donation to the marathon”, to which Sally says “no, thank you”.
She then walks to a separate store and purchases a blanket.
While waiting she sees a number of women wearing the bracelet.
The woman who serves her asks Sally if she would like her rainbow bracelet in the bag or if she would like to wear it now.
“No thank you,” Sally repeats again.
“What’s wrong honey?” A third woman then questions her. “You got something against them?” 
“Well no I don’t have anything against them personally,” she begins to reply, but she is then cut off.
“So what’s the problem?”
“I respect that they have a right to choose their lifestyle but as a Bible reader,” Sally begins to try and explain.
“Excuse me I’m a bible reader too I go to church and our church is one of the biggest supporters for this marathon,” the woman replies.
 
“Displaying courage now will help me display courage in the future,” a voice tells her.
“Well I’m one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and we believe the bible teaches sex is for a man and a woman who are married,” Sally says.

In recent years, the Jehovah’s Witnesses have pushed their propaganda via annual conventions taking place in multiple locations around the country. Leaders have created high-quality films to show at these events, intended to teach a moral lesson from the faith. But those lessons often teach believers to shun family members who think for themselves, refuse blood transfusions even if your life is at risk, and stay faithful to God even when your life involves disaster after disaster.
So what’s in store for 2018? JW watchdog Lloyd Evans received copies of this year’s videos from someone on the inside of the organization, and he’s released them to the public so you can see how the organization plans to further manipulate its members.
The 2018 “Be Courageous” convention program hasn’t even been released on JW.org yet, but months before the first events are due to start we already have reason to expect similarly jaw-dropping material thanks to an unprecedented leak of unfinished convention video files to JWsurvey.org, complete with timers and greenscreen.
Six videos have been sent to JWsurvey by a Watchtower insider, apparently intended for a symposium designed to remind Witnesses of the need to show courage…
So what do these six videos teach? 
1) That your coworkers may want you to get politically active, but you must have the courage to say no!
Watchtower needs to make Witnesses fearful and paranoid about Satan’s world by convincing them that “worldly” people are thuggish, threatening and unyielding (unlike Jehovah’s organization, which separates people from their families for disagreeing with the leaders), and the story of Mark, dreamt up by their Writing Department, well serves this purpose.
2) That LGBTQ allies may want you to show your support, but you must have the courage to say no! Or else they’ll get shrill and angry.
Having failed to persuade anyone that Jehovah’s Witnesses have the right to tell gays and lesbians whom they may or may not love, or how they may or may not express their love, an exasperated Watchtower has resorted to this shabby attempt at portraying allies of the LGBTQ community as sneering, hostile and confrontational — precisely the attitude that Watchtower itself exhibits against gays and lesbians through its publications.
3) That strangers may not enjoy your proselytizing, but you must have the courage to tell them they’re doomed if they don’t agree with you!
… Next time she struggles with apprehension at the prospect of ambushing people she doesn’t know with a message that amounts to “believe as I do, or be killed,” she must mutter the mantra “pray, hope in Jehovah, and act.” (Please take a moment to write that down if it seems too complicated.)
4) That your religious leaders may give you irrational instructions, but you must have the courage to obey!
It is hard to conceive of more Orwellian, Jonestown-inducing ideology than this. Eight million Jehovah’s Witnesses were told that any instructions from Watchtower must be obeyed regardless of whether they can be logically justified!
5) That Armageddon will come, but you must have the courage to ignore the implications of Jehovah’s mass genocide!
… Millions of children will be subjected to this highly manipulative video propaganda that normalizes global genocide. It is one thing to relish such grisly, psychotic thoughts as an adult, but to gleefully thrust them on young minds is unforgivable.
6) That when you’re doubting your ability to adequately perform the free labor the Witnesses require, you must have the courage to do it anyway!
I’m sure many in the convention audience will identify with Philip. Witness indoctrination creates a state of “learned helplessness” in which you become totally reliant on the organization; doubting your own abilities and fearful of what would happen to you if left to fend for yourself.
…
The amount of brainwashing that occurs in these cults is incredible. But maybe if the first exposure to these videos that JWs have is not through their annual conventions, but through people like Lloyd Evans, they’re get a chance to consider the suggestions from a critical perspective instead of having it spoon-fed to them by people in positions of power.

In each episode, host LeVar Burton (Reading Rainbow, Star Trek, Roots) hand-picks a different piece of short fiction, and reads it to you.

It makes me feel odd to invite tons of worldly people who are obviously fornicators and idolaters and then not be able to even show a little love such as a "hello" to a disfellowshipped brother or sister.
Does not compute mentally. Just sayin'
We should make the Memorial for baptized, active, approved members of JW.org in secret locations only. Less stress for me.
 
Jesus did not die for thier sins since they unrepentant and subsequently disfellowshipped.
 
How do you handle the disfellowshipped at the Memorial?
 
 

WT P.17 SIMPLIFIED
Why? Because before, when a person sang the words of this song, he was telling others what to do. This could be awkward for new ones, interested ones, young ones, and sisters who are at our meetings, assemblies, and conventions. So the title and the lyrics were changed.
WT P.17 STANDARD
Why? 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.

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. Why? 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.”

What Sam Herd could have thought was “Why Kofi Atta Annan was elected as the seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations in 1996 when such a thing was not even thought of by GB which was comprised by all white people from its very inception?

Wow! I had my doubts, but it looks like Trump is saying enough is enough to the deep state.    Nunes is releasing the memo which I think will show how the Russia investigation & wiretapping was based on the FAKE dossier.  Liberals are not allowed to put out their own fake memo to control the narrative FBI/DOJ are kicking and screaming to keep the memo hidden from the American people; Trump is responding by launching an investigation of the illoyal DOJ/FBI Wildly disloyal deep-stater McCabe gone Trump is saying no to the ineffective and illegal Russia sanctions thereby indicating he will not have his foreign politics dictated by the deep state & military-industrial complex.

So pillow fights are definitely out...

Although Tokyo Bethel has found a way to deal with the situation.

Imagine!!

I am told this is what the Bethel sisters in the cleaning department are having to deal with.

So pillow fights are definitely out...

@James Thomas Rook Jr. please prepare a newQuestions from readers article?
Are Pillows For True Christians?

if the guys/girls are having sex with pillows, they are committing porneia. THAT"S why you can commit skinless porneia, because pillows don't have skin...think about it.

You've got to hand it to Bethel, a topic like this might rub people the wrong the way, but they've managed to get a grip on this sticky situation and put it to bed. They truly are masters of their domain.

Its advertisements like this that Satan uses to allure men to have sex with pillows.
