"Rice Christians"
by RR inever hear of the term "rice christians"?
this is the term given to many christians in poor countries, a church comes in and begins to open up soup kitchens, schools and hospitals in hopes of attracting members.
the people go only because of the food they receive, since rice is cheap, they call them "rice christians,"

LOL Huxley! Don't the Hare Krishnas and Moonies do a similar thing, rewarding people with sugary treats after listening to hours of indoctrination?

Eric, I also remember the term "Rice christians" from the WT. Your soul for a bowl of soup (like Esau who sold his birthright). Hungry people will do almost anything.
I can only hope that the hungry masses will revolt and roast a few missionaries, feeding the flames with old WT magazines.
It's all part of the business. -suz

When I grew up in the borg, I had a lot of quirks and obsessions. I used to pull out clumps of my hair (yes, I had a bald spot!), wash my hands constantly, brush/floss teeth several times a day, bit my nails till they bled. I had to re-read (the bible and WT literature) and re-write stuff over and over again.
One of the sisters, an elder's wife, in the KH practicied "iridology" where she looked into your eye with a type of microscopic lens, and told you that all your health problems resulted from too much buildup in your colon. She advocated eye exercises to improve your vision. I had just started wearing glasses, which i hated. I tried to cure myself by rolling my eyes around during the meetings when I was bored. I thought no one was looking, but my mother caught me and thot I was possessed.
I look back at it now and see it as a way of managing tension.
I thank Pfizer every day for my medication. -suz

Are There Things You Didn't Understand About JW's Until AFTER Baptism?
by minimus inone of the things the society prides itself over is that jw's are not only preachers but also teachers.
jw's are told that they have the "best education in the world".
jw's are taught for a number of months before they are allowed to get baptized.

I wonder if Sister Rutherford's poor health was due to spiritual weakness? or maybe she was an emotional basket case because her husband was a philandering power-mad drunk? -suz

A quirk I noticed esp. among pioneers was that slow way of walking - the "pioneer shuffle." maybe it was peculiar to the congregation, but all the pioneers seemed to have that slo-mo foot dragging way of schlumping along, even when they're crossing the street and there's a car coming. -suz
