Timing of the "new light" study and the upcoming annual meeting (page 2)

Tantalizing thought but unlikely. One tactic of a high control group/cult is to keep members overly busy with cult acivities. This keeps them insulated from other interests and keeps them focused solely on the group's objectives. Plus, D to D preaching is the WT's trademark.

What we've been seeing is that the preaching is becoming more superficial and lazy. If a JW can be convinced they are still pleasing god while dumbing down "sacred service" to the point of absurdity the WT will achieve it's objective: hijack a JWs time and energy while convincing the JW they are actually doing something.

Guys they aren't going to change anything in October. Its DC for the September study which nobody will really even understand.

I don't know if they have underestimated how big of a change this is and how it will affect their flock, or if we ave overestimated it, and it won't do much at all. I am really curious. I think the inclusion of more for the annual meeting is just going to be something that makes people "feel good" and included, after they may feel confused an alienated from more of that blinding light that is searing their mental retinas.

“problemaddict”: “I think the inclusion of more for the annual meeting is just going to be something that makes people "feel good" and included . . .”

I was thinking that perhaps making this year’s annual meeting apparently more inclusive will help dispel the stigma of the organization being so secretive and seek to promote the perception of more transparency and “openness.”

That strategy wouldn’t work, however, because they are still known to be secretive about their new elder’s manual “Pay Attention to Yourselves and to All the Flock,” the Bethel manual “Dwelling Together In Unity,” all the secret congregation files (all the little nasty-nasties), and, of course, those top-secret meetings of the Governing Body (control strategy sessions from the “octopus,” whose old bodies, just like a literal octopus, are grey and squishy), etc. – not to mention the infamous “secret database” of elders and ministerial servants who like to play with the little kiddies.

I guess the Governing Body is getting tired of formulating developments in secret meetings only to have everything leaked all over the world via Internet (not to mention getting just plain old and tired period), so they probably just said, “F^ck it; we’ll just have the damn meeting open this year – everyone will just find out anyway.” That way, they probably think they’ll seem a bit less like a secretive enigmatic cult. (Good luck, guys!)
