OnTheWayOut

What they are really saying:

We've run out of good-sounding ideas to influence retention, let alone recruiting.
So new things out of Watchtower will seem incredibly wild, maybe even stupid and
backpedaling. DO NOT QUESTION IT! OBEY!! DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER WHETHER
YOU AGREE WITH IT! JUST OBEY!!! Obeying the instructions you receive will allow
us to keep getting your money and may be the only way to keep the organization
alive in a future of free information and multiple lawsuits against us over pedophile
issues.

"...all of us most be ready to obey any instructions we may receive..."

I like the humble, liberating and divine words that Jehovah forces to his beloved people.....

What isn't weird about jw wording? From a non (never been) jw standpoint they both sound very cultish. Scary would be the word that comes to my mind.

"I was just following orders!"

Funny, they didn't buy that at Nurembourg.

Kool Aid.

OK everyone. Just drink the koolaid. I know it might not sound logical or practical, but trust me..... etc.

Simplified Edition

(3) At that time, the direction that
you receive from Jehovah’s organization
may seem strange or unusual.

English Edition

(3) At that time, the lifesaving
direction that we receive from
Jehovah’s organization may not appear
practical from a human standpoint.

I believe that the direction Watchtower will demand will be to disfellowship all inactive ones.

That's like asking, which tastes stranger, the red kool-aid or the orange kool-aid? They're both equally weird and contain the same poison message, "check your brain at the door and obey us without question no matter how crazy and impractical our instructions are". Can you say cult boys and girls?

ps

Good to see you're still in great form On the Way Out!

Julia Orwell

I don't think they'd do that, because aren't inactive ones potential returnees more so than dfd people? And potential returnees = more $.

prologos

the new topic set the theme by introducing the NAZI perallel. so:

How about the slogan :

GOLD geb ich fuer EISEN.?

Encouraging fanatical or gratefull enough members to

Exchange their wedding bands for Iron rings and turn the real ones in to the inner party.

There were many engineering graduates in Nazi land.

because the end is near, and you do not want to becaught with unrightious riches in the GB mayhem.

People throwing valubles into the streets, give to The GB/FDS instead

secure your salvation.

Watchtower survival saving bonds.

Yeah we get it "Listen Obey And Be Blessed" is the new theme song of the Governing Body even teaching children to sing it with gusto at last Anual Meeting display of loyalty to Faith and Discreet Slave bullshit broadcast over the internet. Obey us even if we are Loonie Toons bat shit crazy.
