1975 Marketing

by lambsbottom in

can anyone tell me exactly how the jws advertised the '75 being the end of the world?

how were they soooo effective?

i mean, other cults are effective also, but damn!

Don't forget the world looked like it was on it's last leg. Viet. war for the U.S., riots, assasination for prominent leaders, pollution, crime, space flight to the moon. All this going on and then more. As a child in the cult I could not get past that the Wt. was right. That chart at the time looked very accurate to me. But I was a kid I knew nothing else. I had no way of disproving it. Now I can see through all of it. I just shows you how strong mind control is. They misled many but at the same time was able to get past it and become even more powerful. That is what cluts are good at. Still Totally ADD

Favorite Big Bang Character?

by snowbird in

#1 rajesh koothrappali.

#2 amy farrah fowler.

rajesh because he's got sheldon's number.. amy because she reminds me so much of me.. when i was in school, i was never part of the "in" crowd.. i was viewed as weird and nerdish.. lol..

I like Sheldon statement when he told everyone "I am not crazy my mother had me tested". I love it when Bob Newhart guest starred on the program. At his age he still has it. It's hard for me to pick which one I like the most because they play off of each other so will. If one of them left I think the show would soon end. Still Totally ADD

Born-in. Was dipped in 1970 at 16 years of age. I thought it would really help me stop thinking about girls and also I did not want to be killed in 1975. Woke up in 2008 took a few years to fad then finally in Jan. 2011 at 56 years of age both my wife and I have never been to a meeting since. Moved in april of 2011 1000 miles away from were we came from. Life is much, much better now that we are totally out. Still Totally ADD

Heads Up: If you are an older JW, WT has no further use for you!

by AndDontCallMeShirley in

wt is retiring district overseers, has sent older jws serving at bethel packing despite years of faithful service, and as of june 1, 2014, has announced that any elder that has reached 80 years of age is no longer valued or wanted as a cobe.

in wt land it would appear that older people have little or no value, and wt sees no reason to use them in any meaningful capacity.

i wonder how this makes older ones feel after devoting their lives to wt's interests while shelving their own hopes and dreams?.

Still Totally ADD

But AndDon'tCallMe Shirley you are talking about normal people who did great things in their Golden Years. After being brain dead for most of ther life in the cult. I have seen many older ones had a hard time understanding all the changes that take place every other year. My poor Dad when he got older had a hard time keeping up with all that new light the cult was dishing out. What I see is the Wt. wants younger drones to watch over the Wt. interest and when they are 80 they can enjoy all the blessings the cult has given them. Still Totally ADD

Atlanta Int Convention 2014:The Big Party. Does this look like WT believes Armageddon is coming "soon"?

by AndDontCallMeShirley in

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=potrr2qxhue.

.. if armageddon is "imminent", why is wt focused on sight-seeing, entertainment, travel, etc.

instead of preaching and saving people??.

Still Totally ADD

The last time I was in Atlanta for a convention was in 1969. Open stadium during the day close to 100 degrees then the rain storms came in with all the lightning then the steam bath. Nine in the morning to nine at night 7 or 8 days long. It took over a week to get well becuase of all the extreme heat. No party's, not tours not even any ice. There was a ice shortage that week because of the heat. Only nonsense the big A was almost here. I was 15 at the time and that is the only convention I remember and hate to this day. The way they treated people back then is just unbelievable. I would have learned more if I stayed home and fish off my dock behind my parents house. LOL Still Totally ADD

Twilight Zone

by Ding in

i just watched a rerun of the twilight zone episode where billy mumy played an omnipotent boy named anthony.. everyone had to pretend that anything he did was wonderful even if it terrified them.. they had to do anything to please him so as not to incur his wrath.. one guy got sick of it and told him off.. he begged the others to end the nightmare by killing the kid and thereby getting their lives back.. when they did nothing, the boy turned him into a jack-in-the-box and sent him into a cornfield.. the other adults were horrified, but smiled and told anthony it was a fine, fine thing that he just did.. when i saw it this time, it reminded me of how the wts functions.. the gb claims divine authority to run every aspect of jws' lives.. those who stand up to it are demonized and cast away.. the rest have to suppress any negative feelings and be "happified," lest they suffer the same fate..

In Babylon 5 his name at the beginning of the show was Bill Mummy. Good pick on that TV show. I remember it well. David

Could There Be Another Mass Exodus From This Cult?

friends

it's happened before.

how much crap can any rational human being take before they just snap & walk away disgusted?.

Still Totally ADD

I agree with punkofnice. They are a grabbing disease of a cult. But the die hards will stick with it. No matter what proof you showed them. The more enlighten ones on the other hand may finally wake up and leave. We can only hope. But even if that happen the Wt. would put a spin on it like this. "Dear Brothers and Sisters who have remained from this mass exist this just show us they do not love us and god. We have proof we are truly living in the last days. Satan is working very hard to take us away from our oversight. We must be strong and not allow this to happen to us. Please send us more money so we can keep this fight aganist Satan wicked attacks from hurting us. After all a rich GB member is a strong GB member." LOL Still Totally ADD

Society money grab tonight

by Red Piller in

wow.

you read about it here.

but, it still doesn't prepare you.. our hall passed a resolution to give about 15,000 to the wt.

Still Totally ADD

I saw this coming when a letter was read to our BOE back in 2010 just before I step down. The letter said it wanted the Wt. name on all checking accounts if possible. Our body was more than willing to do it. The Wt. reason was it would be easier for them to take the money each month instead of the congregation wiring them or sending a check. I could not believe what I was hearing. All I could do was keep my mouth shut knowing I was getting out of this cult. So this is no big surprise to me but it falls in line with everything else the Wt. is doing. Still Totally ADD
