  During this holiday break I have been reading about a subject found in the animal world called "the hive mentality".

  When you watch bees at work they are totally focused on one thing, protecting the queen, and sustaing her and her eggs.

  While reading , I could not help but notice how much in common bees, and jw's have in common. There is nothing outside of the hive.

  No big comment from me here, it was just a very interesting read and i thought some of you might enjoy it.

  happy New Year !

  Interesting observation. Yes, the JWs are kept busy so that they have no time to do anything outside "the hive", that is the congregation and WTS interests.

  Happy New Year to you too. And I like your new profile pic.

  What a great analogy ! thanks for your thought M.IB !

  I think I can use that in conversation with Dubs without them finding it offensive or attacking in any way, but it may alert them ,sub-consciously, to their position of being in a cult created bubble .

  Happy New Year !

  There is a reason that Utah is called the "Beehive state" and now you know what it is!

  So is that where the Queen lives?

  What does Utah have to do with JWs and Hive mentality?
