They could replace the carts with vending machines and you would have a more human experience than dealing with the cart zombies.

Do You Think Many Jehovah’s Witnesses Truly Believe?

by minimus in

jw

i did for many years even if i had doubts that i would put on the back burner.

but i thought the majority of witnesses believed, even if they were “weak” in the faith.. obviously, we have elders , pioneers and ministerial servants that are here and they are not true believers.. do you think many jws simply do not believe what they are preaching?

?.

Yes I think many if not most believe some idealized panda petting version of "the truth" and in their version "Jehovah" knows their heart and will look out for them and turn a blind eye to their faults and not kill babies and little doggies etc etc.

Then there are the ones who don't really care about the beliefs and probably don't even know what they are supposed to believe and their reasons for being there are purely social.

There are ones that have doubts but would never say it out loud.

* "if you want people to remain loyal followers you have to keep them tired and poor" - jim jones, said to a trusted confidante.. sound like anyone we know???.

* from the book "a thousand lives" .

( as told by neil "great apostate" gardener) .

Ah yes, the ole "treat em mean and keep em keen" variant used by cults everywhere "keep em tired, poor, uneducated, guilty, fearful and confused and keep em loyal."

WTBTS proud keepers of the tradition and well versed in the art of how to create and keep braindead followers.

"Cultural competence" is a thing now and all these rules that go with it for eg apparently it's not cool to ask about nationality, because... I don't know.. it's not "culturally competent" ???
