Is the WT looking for a fight?

    I think they have grown in numbers when things were the worst. So as the growth numbers stagnate they might be trying it again! Poor suckers who are 'used' by the Society to accomplish their aims!

    Mmmm.....the "Naomi Campbell" approach to publicity?

    Seeing as how the WTS wants to be viewed as a "religion" we might think they'd also want to be have more credibilty and a more "inviting quality" rather than relying on the "END IS COMING" doomsday prophecies they have always depended on....especially since they have such a bad reputation of "getting it wrong" so many times!

    Their recent activities are not an attempt to pick a fight per se, but to deliver the message that they believe has been wispered into the ears of the "Faithful Slave". They have assigned themselves the role of the sacred "John Class" who are delivering the bitter-sweet message to the throngs of Christendom.

    I do know that they are expecting persecution from certain elements. But seriously; how is stuffing looney junk mail under people's door mats going to prompt persecution?

    Maybe in some remote country; a clergy member might vandalize a Kingdom Hall or something. But in the U.S.? The worst persecution that they will receive here is a late night joke on the Jon Stewart Show. And of course; the next morning; Witnesses will be up in arms over it. Poor things.

    I worked one morning with an unbalanced pioneer sister who wished for this tract to get on Oprah or some other major media outlet and therefore be broadcast to the whole nation, or even the world. Poor thing. Average dubs are looking for something--anything--to liven up their experience. I mean, after all, there is less to look forward to year after year thanks to the "blessing" of simplification (aka cutting costs). The Borg wants to increase the yearly figures. The dubs just want to hurry up the GT so they can FINALLY get to play with their panda cub for eternity.

    when you have people under you they are like toys you are playing with....remote control toys....while you sit back and safely watch.

    Dragon wins, everyone leave now. This is the best and most concise description of life as a JW that I have ever read. Wind 'em up, tell 'em what to do, and when you are done with 'em throw 'em away.

    It is kinda like playing Sims too.

    Question is....Is it better to be a sim or the one behind the controls telling them what to do?

    My problem is my mom is one of their sims....one of the most obedient of all.

    Is there any sort of protector for the sims..to keep the controller in line..or are they free to do anything they choose and have the sims try it out for them..while they sit back and safely watch what happens?

    BIG problem IMO.

    For me as well....I am seen as a rebel...fighting their power and control over the sims. Question is...am I jealous of their power and control...or looking out for the sims best interest, trying to protect them from destructive leadership?

    That is a truth...only I hold.

    Others can only guess. (Although they will probably try to present their guesses as truth and insist they can read my mind and know my true intentions..by saying I told them in secret..so they could tell you.) That is how the game is being played near as I can tell at this point.

    The way I see it..If I am wrong they have a perfectly good explanation or rebuttal to my attack..explain and convince me of it...if not....their move.

    LOL @ SirNose586. That is funny and true.

    But I do think that the WT is trying to send a hint and plant a seed with "the kings of the earth, the "political paramours", to turn against religion.
    The WT has been trying to do that for many years. "RELIGION IS A SNARE AND A RACKET!" This new 'End of False Religion Is Near' tract is
    another form of that message.

    Would they be saying that if they were also "false religion"?

    Or is that a way of saying all their opposers and critics are "false religion" what is that implying.

    Isn't that just a touch arrogant? Or do they really "know it all"?

    And also Bush says all his critics are "unamerican" and his opposers "terrorists".

    I say all my critics are "lunch"...and my opposers "dinner".

    Wanna come over for breakfast?
