Now that I have been out of the borg for a while, it has occurred to me that one of the biggest weapons they use to keep everyone indoctrinated is the Watchtower Study.
Elders are told that the WT Study “is the primary way that the faithful and discreet slave feeds the flock of God today.” It is easily the most formulatic.
Consider, the content is 100% controlled. (I would also add, made up fiction.) But the key are the questions. They can be so asinine! I just copied a random set of questions of a “study article” from WT Library.
***
w052/1Pursuingthe"PearlofHighValue"Today***1, 2. (a) How did the Jews in Jesus’ day feel about God’s Kingdom? (b) What did Jesus do to impart proper understanding of the Kingdom, and with what results?
3. With reference to our time, what did Jesus say about the Kingdom? 4. What effect does Kingdom truth have on people today? 5. What fine results are seen in the 2004 service year report? 6. What accounts for the steady increases over the years? 7. What experience typifies the joy and eagerness of those finding Bible truth? 8. What is one rewarding way in which many have demonstrated their love for God and loyalty to his Kingdom?9, 10. What exciting experiences are enjoyed by missionaries in such faraway places as Central African Republic?
11. In spite of trials, how do longtime missionaries feel about their service?
12. How is true appreciation for the value of the Kingdom expressed?
13. How did one individual in the Czech Republic demonstrate his love for the Kingdom?
14. (a) What has the Kingdom good news moved millions to do? (b) What sobering questions could each of us ask himself?
15. What was prophesied that God’s people would do in the final days?
16. Give an example of how God’s servants are reaching out to help others learn about the Kingdom.
17. Relate what you find particularly encouraging about the 2004 service year report on pages 19 to 22.
18. What information did Jesus not include in the parable of the traveling merchant, and why not?
19. What key lesson can we learn from Jesus’ parable of the pearl of high value?
These questions are childish and insulting.
It is at these meetings that “new light” is shared. I would add it is done through the WT because it can also be controlled, and if any of the flock have troubles with changes, then elders, MS, pioneers and other “mature ones” ( i.e. the indoctrinated and blind) can offer comments that amount to peer pressure to keep everyone in line. If you have questions, you are totally outnumbered. You can see that at the WT study. Why put yourself through that? Just go along with it. You were born after 1960, what difference to you does it make that the teaching on what the “generation” that saw 1914 changed? What difference does it make if the anointed weren’t really “sealed” in 1935 (like that pig faced ass Rutherford maintained after one too many shots of Scotch) and if anointed can suddenly pop up and be younger then my parents?
The WT study is nothing more then a device used to dispense controversial and contradictory theology in small, manageable doses.
