Really Smart or Idiots?

Well, I was looking thru the study (i.e. 'Kool-Aid') Watchtower for today and in the middle of the magazine I found an article about how You Should Go To Your Local Bethel/Branch Office And Be Really Impressed ( Enough To Join This Sad, Sick Cult).

I initially thought, "Wow, what idiots! They encourage everyone to go to their local Bethel at a time when they are closing Branch Offices all over the globe! Ah, but not so fast! They offer examples of Really Nice Branch Offices as Mexico, Japan, Brazil and Germany - and they talk about a brother named Mario in the German Bethel.

So, maybe it's their fake/bogus/propagandistic way of saying "Hey, don't worry about all those long term losers in Branch Offices that we will throw into the street! It's all good!"

Oh, and by the way ..... it mentions a seminary by contrast where everything was totally secret! Secret is really bad, I guess. Not Like Bethel, where everything is honest and in the open ( gag.......... spit take......)

It's not so much a question of smart of idiot, more a case of believing the shit they're shovelling.

Well, it's true that nothing in the WT is really secret anymore, thanks to efforts from "apostates" who have publicly reproduced things like... oh I don't know, let's say, the new Flock book?

If secrecy is bad then I guess apostates are the good guys.

Honestly, I'm starting to think whoever continues to write this shit knows it's shit and is having a good belly laugh at the expense of gullible dubs.

If you have ever visited bethel, especially while they are printing a new release, you will know just how secret they are.

It's been a long time since I visited Bethel. I don't remember much except an expression on the face of a young man who happened to be working in the bindery. To say it was not a joyful expression would be a gross understatement.

Years (oh my god) many years ago when at the Bethel in Toronto, we were being shown the Linotype machine in operation. Although most wouldn't be able to read the type on the lead slugs that the machine produced (you have to be able to read upside down) the sister operator covered and concealed them. More recently on a tour in New York I picked a sheet out of the garbage. Since I was a printer by trade I thought it would be cool to show friends how the sheet was printed with 8 pages which when folded in half and in half again produces what is called an 8 page signature. Well I was approached with disapproval and put it back in the garbage forthwith. They conduct much of the tours like that I believe. Even if it is not secret material you can't have someone seeing new light before all the others I guess.

"...a seminary by contrast where everything was totally secret"

Not like Gilead school, where the students have a shredding part after graduation to destroy all the course materials and notes they have taken.

Nothing secret about that
