  when i opened the door i was expecting the apartment maintance guy.

  instead there were two guys with watchtowers.

  one starts in on whatever his presentation was going to be and i stop him and say that i'm familiar with jehovah's witnesses, my wife has some witness relatives (true).

  I wouldnt kill for a book publishing company. I said I would have to cross that bridge when it came thats all. Killing is wrong in Jehovahs eyes. Going to war is wrong in His eyes. I would not do that.

  There are also times in the Bible in which Jehovah did not condemn individuals for killing and, yes, stealing. ; So, if the Society told you that there might be some circumstances in which you should kill and steal, would you do so?

  I wouild have to cross that bridge when it comes.

  I knew you were going there. You have to admit there are times in the bible where Jehovah did not condemn them for lying and telling half truths. You had the Insight books right? The bible definition of a lie is pretty accurate in my book.

  it is easy. If the Slave say that its ok to steal and you read in the bible you must not steal, than they are wrong. Being the FDS does not make them infalliable. Jehovah does not force ANYONE to do the right thing. He doesnt force them to HEAR what His spirit is saying.

  Is repititive imprinting of ideas a primary cult tactic?

  by hubert in

  in a post by syn that lady lee has brought up again, there is this statement by syn.

  i could underline my watchtower in 10 minutes, tops, and be sure that all the answers were right.

  many esteemed researchers have shown that repetitive imprinting of ideas is a primary cult tactic, and i tend to agree with them.

  My interest in this site is primarily due to the fact that some of my family are Witnesses.

  Were you not also a Witness at one point in your life?
