If it were up to me I would make all religions accountable to the same laws as any business like standards of quality control and false claims of the benefits of a product, paying employees, etc etc and let the chips fall where they fall re survival of all in the business of selling the product of religion.

Is JW.org unbreakable
by UnshackleTheChains ini ask this question for good reason.
let's face it, despite all the books, videos, forums, court cases, hearings, protests etc that have been exposing the society for many years.
jw.org continues to roll on almost 'it seems' unscathed.. for example, just walk into any kingdom hall there is not so much as a whisper about anything that has been exposed outside of jw land.

Unless laws are changed making religions as answerable to the same laws as every other business then WT will likely go on. The power lies with the individuals of religions to withdraw support.
I choose to believe that people are waking up, slowly but surely.

How does any religion get away with it? It's called freedom baby.
Maybe they got tips from muslims. There are non-muslim women who come out in support of head coverings - go figure? A symbol of male oppression being celebrated as a symbol of religious freedom! W The Actual F!
Mad world.

2017 International Regional Convention, Toronto – Entertainment at Sony Centre
by SAHS ini’ve been hearing from several very reliable sources that there will be an exclusive elite gala entertainment event hosted by the watch tower organization, featuring specially chosen jehovah’s witnesses of outstanding talent as well as spiritual reputation, at the sony centre (formerly called the o’keefe centre) in toronto, ontario (canada) as a special “after hours” addition to the 2017 special international convention.. those chosen have to meet very strict criteria, including, not so much technical and popular talents, but, rather, their spiritual maturity which can be easily and practically related to by the audience (i.e., degree of conformity – you know what i mean!).
a notable and very well-known professional “super star” from some other country (i don’t know which one) who has achieved highly recognized and popular talent was surprisingly not chosen to participate in the extra entertainment program, whereas other performers with rather ho-hum musical abilities ended up being selected, ostensibly for their altruistic and “theocratic” qualities.
(something tells me that there is going to be some jealousy and indignant, hard feelings over this rather authoritarian, arbitrary selection process.

King Solomon had his male singers and female singers his manservants and his maidservants didn't he?
If it was good enough for Brother Sol then it's good enough for the Faithful and Discreet Slave the Guardians of Doctrine the GB.

What Happens If the JW Beard Policy Stumbles a Person
by Cold Steel insome of the videos on youtube really make the beard policy look ridiculous.
i wondered what would happen if the jw beard policy caused someone to stumble?
jesus most likely wore a beard, and charles taze russell had a beard.

If the message is subliminal and the campaign is subliminal then is the "stumble" subliminal?

Are Witnesses TRULY Honest, Humble and Hungry? (The 3 H's)
by stuckinarut2 inhow many times did we hear the worn out expression "that anyone who accepts the "truth" needs to have the 3 h's".
yes, they must be "honest hearted.
hungry for truth, and humble enough to accept that they need to change".

I think witnesses are good at taking someone who is hhh particularly if that person is going through a hard time at the time of contact and converting them into a WT narcissist cult-jerk who rejects their "worldly" aka normal friends, family and life in favor of cult-life.
Though, probly not as good at that as they use to be thanks to the internet.

The whole CO arrangemnt was total BS, with the congregation on best behavior for a week while pathetically sucking up to the visiting VIPs for all their worth to avoid a bad report or achieve an appointment - sickening.
A couple I shall call Joe and Helen were particularly good at being the official WT "suck-ee" recipients for the week accepting all sorts of "gifts" from locals while tearing them a new one at the same time. They were feared and worshipped in equal neasure.
