HIGHLANDER- Yeah , if it really was said- it would be hilarious that this website is converting members constantly !
OUTLAW- It is funny how paranoid witnesses get about anything to do with the " world " ! Worldly clothes, worldy associates, worldly this, worldly that ! I believe they wouldn't take a dump in public if they felt it would spiritually contaminate them !
FREQUENT FADER MILES- The society usually shoots off the hip verbally without references because they know the robotic " mind drained" publishers sitting there listening won't challenge anything said on the platform ! So the speaker could say anything and the rank and file witness will believe it !
TREADNH20- That is a good point you make about " any negative attention " that can be brought to the witnesses - is good attention . That's how I view this information sent to me by this newbie . Even if the speaker didn't " plug " another website - the point is that the gist of the talk will help some people new on this site to see the " mind control " of the witnesses.
HOMEROVAH- You never know where they dig some of this stuff up from ! It's crazy ! I think holy spirit and Jesus- Jehovah are backing up JWD though !
CHANGELING- Who knows - Maybe this speaker was a secret agent man ! Highly doubt it though - Probably just another " mind controlled " twit.
AWAKENED at GILEAD- It probably is a spoof. Or maybe the newbie embellished some of the information with his own thoughts- who knows ? The society may never blatantly " advertise " JWD - however in the 44 years I was in the witnesses I saw numerous times, not often , but occasionally talks given at assemblies warning the brothers to avoid certain companies by name involving pyramid schemes or shady business practices. Now whether local brothers gave their own twist in those talks to name the names- I don't know. But weird things have happened in the witness organization. It wouldn't be beyond the realm of possibility for some Watchtower representative in a talk to put his own twist on information ; trying to be a " big wheel " spurting out from his mouth , and name dropping companies to avoid. I admit it's rare to see that - but I saw it awhile back !
VM 44- I do think the speaker was confused ! Isn't R. Clark a Bethel representative ? I don't know if he is on the GB or not . Maybe someone else here can clarify that for us ! I've been out 5 years now - I don't know who is who
