Blondie: I find that jws re-invent or re-interpret those directions and secretly do what they want.
I always liked it when some elders I knew pretty well would roll their eyes and smile at me during the WT study!!! NOBODY (make that not everybody ) can really believe all this crap.....oompa
so long as dubs believe god is the organization, the society has no limits on its control - if they said jump they'd all jump.
The WTBS and the FDS are up to somethin'. I can tell by phone conversations with my family. The thing about the FDS not being inspired is hilarious. Why would you want to follow a religion that acknowledges that they are not inspired by God? In the KM schools last year, they said that the new world would be here this year. I know this because my BILs (in various states throughout the US) all heard it several times and then my sisters called me like they had the inside scoop ...what a way to plant seeds of fear. But then they turn around and announce international conventions in for 2009. So this bunch needs to make up their mind because they contradicting themselves all over the place.
Talking about this with my husband, personally, I suspect they will disband large congregations and try to control the dubbies in small groups. They may well sell all the KHs and demand the money to be sent to Brooklyn. They will build up such a large persecution complex and prepare the dubbies for perseuction in the Great Tribulation and claim they are safer in small groups. They are then much easier to control by the Elders. Mind Control is more effective in small groups.....especially small groups of people who have been scared half to death with the promise of imminent Armageddon!
The WTBTS may well have hundreds upon hundreds of law suits against it that the public WILL be aware of and so can insist that they need the money from the congs. They will stop all publishing of paper products and send their 'product instructions' via the net to an Elder in charge of each group to distribute to the 'worthy'.
Then, they will have maximum money in their coffers they will distribute it among their 'pseudo' companies and then amongst the shareholders therin as they claim some kind of coorporate disbandment!
The JWs will then be run from Patterson by the remaining gullibile members of the GB who really believe that they are God's messengers on earth.
In fact, all the monies will have been collected up and disappeared with those clever little lawyers, shareholders and accountants.
The Watchtower Bible and Tracts Society will then REALLY be a charity case.
No one will know where the money disappeared to!
It's a clever plan, con, scam....whatever!
But the Watchtower IS a religion with a sell by date stamped on its arse!
It is preparing for its final and biggest con on its members by its reall 'invisible' controllers!
The R and F are going to be in such a frenzy preparing for Armageddon at any moment, that they will totally miss the slight of hand scam that is taking place right in front of their eyes. This has to happen within the next few years as climate change, and war in Iraq and possible war in Iran cannont continue to keep the world on the edge of its seat for long and the dubbies captured in a hypnotic trance as they anticipate their years text" 'Watch and See the Salvation of Jehovah'! They really need to 'Watch and see the Scam being perpetrated by the 'invisible leaders' of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society!'
January's Watchtower expects its members to drop their well paid jobs and throw themselves into Watchtower Servitude! Whether they will demand, money, property to be signed over or any thing else more extreme as a form of personal sacrifice from members, we have yet to see!
However, the WTBTS really is becoming more extreme in its control and demands for total submission!
The latest mags have sent a shiver down my own spine!
I suspect that THE WORST IS YET TO COME!
Very good analysis, Gill.

Hubert - It's the only way for them to go!
Pity the fools!
This whole scam was about Money AND Power right from the start!
Certain members of the GB are going to wish they had taken the possibility and potential of a University Education seriously for themselves instead of letting those with degrees in law and accounting strip the flesh from the bones of the Watchtower!
No doubt its financial problems will be blames on apostates!
GILL- The statement they made : " Today, we may not clearly see why some organizational matters are handled in a certain way , but we have every reason to trust in Jehovah's guidance through his faithful channel of communication . " Translation - You brothers and sisters may not clearly see why we settled out of court to keep victims of child molestation quiet , but we have every reason to trust in Jehovah's guidance through his faithful channel of communication. And yes, brothers and sisters , WE DO KNOW WHAT THE HELL WE ARE DOING!
It's just utterly amazing that the witnesses give their minds over to such abyssmal hogwash ! Hope the cult dies from within , very soon ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper Good Thread, Gill !
Flipper - You are right and they think they have 'got away' with the child molestation cover up! They believe they are made of Teflon and nothing sticks to them!
However, throw enough mud and something will stick sooner or later!
On the child molestation cover up scandal alone they deserve their inevitable exposure as a corrupt scam.
The problem is, and it is a REAL problem, that he people trapped within are REAL VICTIMS of mind control! Since studying mind control on my own these last few months I really was shocked to go back to reading the Watchtower and actually see mind control in operation and thought manipulation at its most flagrant! It certainly made me understand why I in the past reacted as I did and why there is a certain 'glazed expression' about too many JWs for it to be a coincidence!
Heaven forbid they ever discover very suddenly that they have been scammed! Their reactions could be devastating! Imagine having NO REAL HORIZON for your future!
So, they don't believe in war, but they are "going into battle formation? Do I hear the word....Hypocrites?
This is scary...... "Battle formation" and "follow the faithful and discreet slave" in the same sentence.
AHA! If you fell for that "peaceful Christian" idea they try and convince you of....they sure "got" ya on that one!
The WTS has very MUCH "taught war"....their "army of marchers going door-to-door, their "Theocratic Warfare" used on those they don't feel the need to be truthful with....and the constant fear hanging over their heads of manning their "battle stations" by being at ALL the meetings in case you might MISS where the next one will be.....and I recall that many talks were based upon the idea that we have to stay on top of things to learn what Satan's minions were doing so tha WE could be "prepared" to do battle, etc. The entire "religion" is founded on this, and definitely cultivates a "battle" mindset.
GILL- I totally agree with you ! I have been out 4 years after being raised,er, controlled in it for 44 years and this week I am going to purchase Steve Hassan's book , " Combatting Cult Mind Control " so I can understand more fully how to approach my daughters 20 and 19, and hopefully in time get them out of this sick cult ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper
