Is it true that the WT uses hypnosis covertly during KH meetings?

by seatrout in

i personally am a sceptic regarding the validity of hypnosis as a form of mind control.

i associate it with entertainment tricks pulled by stage performers.. i never experienced any weird happenings during my only two visits to a kh.

is anyone able to refute me?

No hypnotic/occultic control going on. Just classic "programming." The thought process has been layered in so well over the years that it just takes a word or two to trigger "what we are supposed to think." Enjoyed observing this at the convention yesterday. Very impressive.

I don't get the Jeroboam joke.

Jeroboam is in the Hebrew scriptures, so it doesn't apply to Jesus..

There are two classes of annointed - why?

by cultswatter in

before the may 1st qfr there was 4 classes of annointed.and these were: 1. the annointed from 1935 (governing body members)2. the annointed from 1935 (non governing body members)3. the replacements since 1935 (governing body members)4 the replacements since 1935 (non governing body members) then the may 1st qfr did away with 1935( and naturally the 144,000 limit) and the replacements so only two classes now exist: 1. the annointed (governing body members )2. the annointed (non governing body members) there is still something wrong with this.

the annointed of the governing body are higher up on the power flow chart than the annointed jw church goers are.

according to the bible this is wrong.the bible does not mention two heavenly callings of two separate classes.

I can see it now...12 means "complete." 12 - 12's = 144. 144,000 means really really complete. Symbolic of the complete number Jah wants. No one really knows how many, only Jehovah knows.

i have really been enjoying all the parodies of questions from the readers.

but, sometimes, it's just to easy.

missanna was sent a watchtower from her "loving".

A couple of CO's noticed how much money was being dropped at Starbucks on Saturday mornings and got the ball rolling on this....think of the money this will free up for the contribution boxes!

30 Minute Public Talk-CONFIRMED

by stillajwexelder in

i can confirm (as there seems to be some doubt) at the service meeting last night during the item about the new watchtower, a letter was read by the po.

the public talk is to be 30 minutes long.

this is to allow for more association and ministry.. lengthy negative introductions about the state of the system of things/deep last days etc are to be heavily curtailed.
