Hi Outaservice: You make some interesting points. You asked, "Do you personally believe the Society has planted 'Moles' in various places?"
Yes, without question. I have seen some evidence of that on H20, but not on JWD yet. I have had some other information that also confirms this.
You continued, "Do they have people in the media (television, radio, newspapers, and news magazines)?"
I was not sure until recently. But, I believe that they have some influence there too.
You asked, "Do they have infiltrators in ex-JW ministries?"
I am not sure that they go that far. Monitoring the Internet is about as far as they need to go.
You continued, "Are they in the Post Offices watching the mail."
There may be some isolated cases where individual JWs may work at the USPS and if they saw something, they might let the Elders know. I recall one case where this happened years ago. Sometimes JWs working for medical and law offices have been known to report confidential matters to the Elders ... but I do not believe that the WTS sets this up, but they merely take advantage of it. I believe it was AlanF (correct me if I am wrong) who posted a WTS article encourgaing JWs to report such.
You asked, "Are they controlling some Internet providers?"
I don't if they are controlling any, but in the UK an ex-JW site called Witness aid, or something like that, was shut down for no reason, and it later proven that JWs at the WTS office were responsible for influencing the ISP. I can get the details from the site owner if you wish. He also posted a lot on H20 until it went down suddenly.
You asked, "Are they 'paying off' officials to control things the way they want to have them go?"
I don't think the WTS has any formal system for this, but I have no doubt that where bribes are the norm in some nations, they they will use this to get what they want. I would not be surprised if the WTS has found ways to sweeten the political funds of politicians in the USA where they wanted to get something done ... and that way JWs would never really know. But, on this, I don't have any evidence, just would not be shocked if that happened.
You concluded, "If so, they forgot one thing! They're dealing with a 'living God' and he cannot be outsmarted. They loose!"
I agree. And if the atheists are correct, then the WTS still loses, but not with God but with their own humanity. - Amazing
