Navy, i dont disagree in principle that both sides are interested their own preservation and power above all else. But its trite and worn, on this forum at least, to use the cult as the excuse for political interest. Millions of people who never heard of jw’s are politically minded.
Dont be intellectually lazy.
We care because we have reasoned and have a view because of that reason. If your conclusions are different then lets talk. In liu of that, playing the cult card gets you no points.
this has been mentioned in passing but it seems to deserve its own thread.. this year at the rc, no releases.
instead they wait to drop them at the annual meeting which isnt a even simulcast event.
what is their thinking?
Pete, the reason i tend to doubt that is because this is what they do. They write and release every year at the same time for almost a 100 years. They didnt forget deadlines all of sudden. This a calculated move and i just cant see why. Maybe nobody rational can. Maybe they are a bag of cats

I dont want to beat a dead horse and especially if im making a moutain out of a mole hill (lots of meaphors), but this kind of a big deal and money has nothing to do with it... whats the play for them here?

Goes to show that Cults produce addictions or dependency to those very controls and tactics that Cults employ to assure Obedience and Compliance in thought and deed.
Politics have become High Control Cults who make use of techniques not too dissimilar to those utilized by the WTBorg Cult Inc. Breaking free (truly free) of a Cult can be a life long process. Its tentacles go very deep into the mind and the psyche. An outworking of those tentacles is frequently anger and bullying behavior.
Ok there we go... Morphs law!

But the annual meeting wasnt a world wide event so, in effect, they had only to give out 2-3000 hard copies. If that was the consideration why not do what they have done in the recent past and simply release it digitally at the rc’s and then let congregations order hard copies later? Am i over thinking the change in tactics?

this year at the RC, no releases. Instead they wait to drop them at the annual meeting which isnt a even simulcast event. What is their thinking? The main draw for the district/reginal convention was the new releases. If they are now making a habbit of dropping new releases at the annual meeting, whats the end game? Why devalue the rc but yet not highlight the annual meeting? We have long decried the gb as clueless but i refuse to believe they they are stumbling around. There has to be some reason behind this but escapes me...
i spent a considerable length of time living and working in america (would love to imigrate one day).. almost everyone i worked with and made friends with carried a concealed firearm of somesort.
i found this pretty interesting and as an avid firearm fan even more so.. so to our american members here... .
as a jw did you or did you know any practising dubs who carried or if not had firearms for home defence?
They have a problem with dubs carying them in a law enforcement capacity. It would be heavily frowned upon personally.

Well, aparently a mob said something and we are supposed to care, although no direction was given me as to how im supposed to care, so im not sure where to show up with my pitch fork and torch. The thread may be dead....

Note: I see he didn’t explicitly say that, but implied it. (The old - they just left JWs and come here and get XYZ
After consultation with the morphs law comittee, a ruling was issued that reflected your remark above. It was close, but not quite enough for a morphs law declaration.

That occured to me in a macro sense, although, strickly speaking, its not morphs law as he stopped just short of the required “your still in a cult” comparison
