Comments on the lovingly provided theocratic material are, as always, welcome.
I only looked in here cause i thought it was another sex thread.
My preliminary notes:
The Dubbies are being told how happy they are. I especially liked the unattributed "quote" by a journalist about how Dubs don't seem to be unhappy.
Get out there and flog (or at least buy) the videos. People may send donations to the branch office!!
Then the Preach the Word Fully article proceeds to tell the loyal Dubbies just how they are to pay for the "free" gift of God. Rounding up of the inactives gets a mention.
On the back page the Dubbies are told why they should keep selling, er, preaching. A lot of same old same old, I'm sure you'll agree.
...." What are the benefits to the family that pioneeers together?...
The MOTHER said: What a POSITIVE OUTLOOK we had for each day since we were united in ministry!
The SON said: I enjoyed working in the ministry with dad,when he is normally working secularly!
The FATHER added: As FAMILY HEAD I felt SATISFIED in the fact we were working together in the most IMPORTANT ACTIVITY of OUR TIME! "....
BARFABLE Isnt it!!
"In a number of congregations All the elders and their wives set a fine example by Auxiliary pioneering during the Memorial season"
500,000 elders wives groaned as one when they read this.
Some quotable quotables:
"Learning the Truth of God's word has set us true from religious falsehood and error."
Excuse me, but the last time I checked, you were learning the Truth from the WATCHTOWER, not "God's Word"!!!!!!
"The young as well as the older present an appearance of being unusually joyful and well-balanced"
Erm. "Present an appearance" is a very good choice of words! Just wait until a few of those happy Witnesses get you in a Starr chamber!
"There is nothing more satisfying than helping people to get to know Jehovah and his truth".
Hehe. There is something more satisfying, Sister! Want a personal demonstration?
Oh, and that calender was just over the top! Good grief! In this religion, not only do we tell you how to blink and breathe, we also tell you how you should spend your time in minute detail! EXCELLENT! And also, in the Announcements section, they say that there'll be a talk entitled "Keep Close in Mind The Fear Inspiring Day!"
Didja know that they've been giving that talk for a good deal longer than A CENTURY? LOLOLOL. Ghod.
I've now added the March issue. Further comments invited from all interested parties - Syn, RF?
Rounding up of the inactives gets a mention.
Ooooh, Ooooh, does that mean they're going to come visit me and "encourage" me back? I'll be ready with all my apostate answers. Hehe.
Of course I won't be holding my breath for a visit. I've been out over 4 years and never got one yet.
Mackin.
Mackin, your globetrotting lifestyle makes it too hard for them to keep up with you - they are used to more sedentary targets. Hee, hee, hee!
Thanks for taking the time to scn and post these KMs. Since most of the "hard-core" indoctrination takes place at the Service Meeting, it's great to know what my kids are being bombarded with. It makes it much easier to counter the effects.
THANKS!
