  More similarities with North Korea

  by neat blue dog in

  2. beliefs

  other posts have mentioned the similarities between jws and n. korea with regards to uniformity of dress and grooming, backlash for criticism and being hard to escape.

  just thought i'd add a couple more, thanks to quotes from david mikkelson and john delury, a n. korea analyst at yonsei university in seoul, s. korea:.

  north korea is notorious for a lack of transparency.

  Yes they do. I guess that falls under "backlash for criticism".

  Another similarity I can think of is gushing about themselves. Positivity ad nauseum, with little if any objectivity.

  The regime is incredibly image-conscious. It choreographs everything, especially when it comes to the leader.

  The OPI (Office of Public Infprmation) is used all the time on jw.org articles as quotes from 'representatives' of the organization on the style of a press release.

  And, yes, it was David Semonian who was quoted in the Prince press release, made in response to a direct inquiry.

  If these pictures aren't "brazen", (to borrow one of their pet words), I don't know what is. The disgusting nature of these images just shows their arrogant attitude and the contempt with which they viewed others, starting in the time of Rutherford.

  I don't know. Maybe she was rejected for baptism due to mental instability so took things into her own hands 😜 (just theorizing)

  It already happened among JWs, except with an adult.

  I heard a female Bethelite say 'it's gonna be intense'. Never mind what that means . . . or how she would even know that.

  The elusive song 151 makes an appearance.

  by SadElder in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the missing song 151 now titled "the revealing of god's sons" shows up with the september edition of tv.jw.

  no words or score on the jw page yet.

  can't say that it sounds any different than any of the other songs they produce now.

  Reminds me of the scripture in the old NWT where Jonathan and his armour bearer went up to the Philistines and "exposed themselves". :-P

  Its related to the new light to be announced at the annual meeting next month. God's anointed "sons" are going to be 'revealed' to be all Christians, not just 144,000.
