Can't see the forest for the trees, huh?
Hell, it's practically thump-you-over-the-head obvious.
I think most of them know something is wrong but the indoctrination is so deep that it overwhelms their common sense.

i was reading on a european ex jw forum where some feel that watchtower's railing against higher education is primarily for north america issue.
this is due that many in usa and canada leave home to leave on campus.
it was mentioned that many young european jw attend universities and its not frowned on.. i found this odd because i heard what morris and losch said about education in italy.

Don't fret over those fools underhanded tactics just be glad you're not their puppet.
so, back when you were still in, or even now (for those still in), how do you respond when the elders ask to speak with you in the back room?
I had served 'on the body' before and knew the tactics they use so I took a miniature digital recorder with me into the library and set it in the middle of the table on the day I met with two elders.
last week we had an elder giving a talk, cant remember the title.. the thing that was of interest is the experience he gave:.
"a brother who was working in a hospital had to leave his job which was paying him good money because the nurses wanted to sleep with him and they kept putting notes for him on his desk!".
this is not the first time i hear similar experience.
I have heard JWs fucking each other more than than i have heard there was relations between work colleagues.
You barely scratched the surface of what really goes on inside a JW circuit.
I need a $3,000 loan.
Do you think the Watchtower will arrange a low interest loan for me?
wt seems to be helpless in really dealing with the failed prophecies, pending dates, overlapping groups--.. what if they declare victory, blame jehovah, in that he allowed the nations to come to their senses and not further escalate the use of weaponry, "destroying [life on] the earth"?
in a second fulfillment of .
the "repentant ninevites, disappointed jonah" bible story?
The example of Jonah & Nineveh is the only Biblical example one can use to remotely explain the "delay" of Armageddon. Otherwise, it was all simply a "false prophecy".
In either case, the WTS/GB would have to admit they were wrong, and that isn't going to happen.
Doc
Great points.
They have never admitted they were wrong so why start now.
"i felt like it was "bait and switch", no "loving brotherhood :(?".
interesting question posted on yahoo, the problem is witnesses are not telling the truth.
how many times did you experience people not saying anything after some prolonged illness or separation from the kingdom hall for work reasons?
It's all about performance.
Perform and you are IN.
Don't perform and you are going to have to die at armageddon.
