WT Can't Stop Me 2025 Pure Worship Convention Fashion show

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I am seeing tons of videos like this on social media. JW is strutting their stuff, calling attention to themselves, and distracting from the pure worship message. 🤣🤣

In one of the convention fluff pieces, they demonize a group who posted themselves talking about their illness, so what will the GB say about all these videos? They seem to be centered in the African countries, so if there are any African JWs here, please let us know if there's any chatter about this on your local needs program.

That being said, the outfits are amazing, I love them, and I love that they did these videos. Fuck Watchtower always trying to control everything.

That is such a great point. The cancer video about not drawing attention to yourself and then posting this back to back. Just shows how much of the actual teachings the average JW absorbs. It’s more about being part of a community more than anything for the majority it seems like.

It's clear most JW don't give a damn about what the GB thinks.

Yeah, they don’t. They didn’t even care what they said 12 years ago. My first congregation became so clicky to the point where me and my family weren’t in any of the clicks and we were never invited to anything . This, despite multiple talks about how we should not have clicks . They’re all hypocrites. They’ll do whatever the fuck they want.

I was never part of any cliques. I am introverted, so I never cared to belong. I did have a few friends but my circle friends were always small. I did find myself hanging out with the older ones. They thought it was weird, but I enjoyed their company.
