WT has used this tactic for years. I believe they use it to keep all the dubbies in line. You should hear how fearful some of our relatives are of things like this.
Just another cult tactic!
will our fearless leaders the gb call a news conference and invite all the major news networks and outlets and put their asses on the line and declare "you are all doomed!
" or will they have the rank and file do all the dirty work while they sit back in their gated corporate country club?!
ask any jdub that question!.

just thought i'd share this ridiculous picture from a recent watchtower.
in recent years, the word bullying has been thrown around a lot, and often misused by instigators and subtle bullies themselves.
in this picture we learn that your loving family who wants to continue sharing a family tradition with you, who hands you a beautifully wrapped present with a smile on their face, is in fact bullying you.
This is funny!!! Someone is trying to do something nice by giving the JW a gift and that is "Satan being a bully." The stories that I could tell (and many on here could tell too) about Elders and CO's downright bullying members that they are supposed to be "shepherding."
Countless talks from the GB that were downright bullying and insulting (remember the 23 yr old MS talk?). That was a direct insult and bullying from Anthony Morris. A shameful talk that should have NEVER been given. The list goes on and on.
What a disgusting/corrupt/abusive cult we were once a part of!

when @brian j’s “bullet in the head” thread went live (https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4747450574176256/session-8-bullet-head) those written shots echoed in my mind.
a week later while overhearing a bible study, the conductor was asked if god really has given us “free will”.
but if someone ever put a gun to my head and asked me to renounce my faith as a jehovah’s witness, i would die.”.
"But if someone ever put a gun to my head and asked me to renounce my faith as a Jehovah’s Witness, I would die."
The genuine response from a cult member. They would drink the kool aid too. It's easy to say that when you have never had a gun put to your head. Ask someone who has really had a gun put to their head. Easier said than done.
Most of these "men" would cower in the corner if real persecution came knocking at their door.
just came across this a few minutes ago:.

it’s just been posted and is quite lengthy but it makes a change to read something from a reasonable jw!
Fantastic! Even some of the most uber of the uber are waking up. I appreciate what he said about the apostates. They are not the evil devils that WT paints them to be.
The internet and JW Broadcasting are shining a light on these cockroaches!
Thank you for posting the link!
my turning point: serving on a child abuse judicial case.
.
My turning point: The anti higher education talks, cheered on by a bunch of old men in NY who have never lived in the real world.
Oh...there is just too many to list.
we've all gotten a little older (the beav was about 60 at the time this was taken):.

Loved that show! Still watch the re runs. RIP June and Ward!
the wt is at it again it seems.
playing dirty as it can, trying to silence dissenters.. the john cedars channel on youtube has been taken down after the posting of a video critique of regional (district) convention leaked videos.. sounds like something putin would do in russia.
you know what they say, birds of a feather fly together--what a murder of crows all of'em!.
Give it up Watchtower! Your critics are not going away. Just growing everyday! Your true colors are showing!
i have been on a fade for years, so this is the first time i have been in a kh for months.the deceased was barely 52 when he died.
from cancer.
one year younger than me.the memorial was the standard "read the obituary column word for word, then do the jw commercial for 25 minutes" plus a new twist (to me), they played a video called "around the corner" https://youtu.be/tfccoyp0vsu.
Thank you for posting that cartoon DOC. I was just thinking about that one! lol

So sorry for your loss. I know you will miss him.
I like your bus analogy. It is spot on. WT just keeps pumping this "hope" out and keeps the masses pining to see their dead loved ones again. Most are elderly ones who have no education, no savings, no 401k, living on meager earnings. Some are working well into their 70's at hard labor jobs. I wonder how many think about the 1969 article about you will not graduate from high school. I believe some elderly ones are scratching their heads wondering deep down inside they have been duped. They just can't give it up. Some of our relatives have even said, "where else would we go?" Sad and pathetic. WT has a lot to answer for. I hope I live long enough to see the dirty rotten scoundrels pay for the false hope they have given all of us.
