It was the black New World Translation and it was very distinguishable as the pre silver sword black new world translation.

Are JWs "mind trained" to be habitual liars?
by nonjwspouse ini don't mean overly obvious, or otherwise meaning to cause harm, but taught to lie for the purpose of avoidance.
this type of lying can be pervasive in areas of life that are not just to avoid discussions with people who have questions about the jw, etc.
my husband will lie/be deceitful about the silliest, simple things.

Yes, they are trained to re-frame situations, articles, rules, bible accounts, their own motives and intentions to the point that to a non-indoctrinated mind it would appear they are either very stupid or very dishonest, when they are actually programmed, programmed to re-frame.
Freedom to have and express thoughts and feelings are not allowed as a witness so what do you do with those normal human functions? You pretend they don't exist and lie if someone catches you with an unapproved thought or feeling.
So much so, that it eventually becomes natural to do so even about stuff that doesn't matter.
Survival as a JW relies upon your ability to suppress and/or reframe any undersirable unapproved thought such as doubt
Because as we all know doubt is the gateway sin to the worst sin ever -apostatsy!

I spotted it too greenhornet, real WTF moment.
Felt it was a strange gratuitious close up of a new world translation when normally a KJ version would be used as the most commonly recognized bible. Wondered if there was a JW in the production crew? Very odd.

Yes, religion "socially controls" by way of rules and punishments and reinforces those rules with manipulative words and imagery.

If you want to prove the point to someone just ask them to accompany you as you take some outside research on any subject that JWs believe to any JW and ask them about it. Better yet take outside research to the hall and watch what happens when you try to use it in a comment.
Wt are smart enough to to never say "never do this" or "don't ever do that" so newer literature will be ambiguous and general, making it difficult to prove outright.
