  Help me out with a list of loaded language JW buzz words

  by Check_Your_Premises in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am preparing a summary of methods to use to build rapport with the jw cult member.

  the summary will attempt to follow the methods used in the strategic interactive approach, which is described in steven hassan's book, releasing the bonds.. one of the things a person who has a loved one in a cult has to do is understand the loaded language.

  as we all know the jw have just such lexicon of buzzwords.

  funeral again

  by kilroy2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  well my wife's grandmother died a couple of days ago.

  the services will be on monday, anne ritchie, not that it is not expected she was 90. not exactly a spring chicken.. my problem is two fold, my wife's parents have not contacted her or tried to contact her for quite some time.

  and when they do her mother stops by her place of work unannounced for "a chat", so now that my wife's mother has lost her best friend [donna never cut the cord] she calls my wife for the funeral, i personally do not want her to go, but i cant tell my wife not to go, and i would like to be there to support her, but after my mother died, and i had to sit through a propaganda speech when it was supposed to be about my families loss.

  Possible Jackson show at Vegas

  by freedom96 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  donald trump and some others have a vested interest in some casinos in vegas.

  trump has expressed some interest in having michael jackson perform at one of the casinos.

  he has back peddled some, but still, it gives an interesting idea.. i would imagine it would be quite a show.. the question i have for you is, would you go see it?

  some please make sense of this!

  2. family

  hi people!..i have a serious question.and i often wonder have anyone one earth thought this way too!

  why when there's a funeral the preacher always say..."got called his son or daughter home.i went to a family funeral,not this relative lived a bad (with a capital bad) life.the family knew it.he was evil,hateful,treated people wrong,yet the preacher said he's gone to heaven...so i'm now thinking then what the hell!..is hell for.no matter what i always hear the preacher say that person is gone to heaven...i asked my brother-in-law,why don't anyone say ...this person is in hell(since hell is suppose to be a place for the sinners)are the preachers afraid to say that around the families?i'm confused!

  i found a couple of nice wt and awake magazines in the waiting room at work today.

  i decided to dress them up with some flourescent green labels with the freeminds.org, silentlambs.org, and quotes' website.

  hope the jw who left them will come back and check them out .

  the NWT

  by trinity83 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  numerous greek and biblical scholars have declared that the nwt is a poor and biased translation.. the late dr. walter martin observed that of the anonymous seven-member translation committee at least five had no training in greek: "these books possess a veneer of scholarship unrivaled for its daring and boldness in a field that all informed scholars know jehovah's witnesses are almost totally unprepared to venture into.

  as a matter of fact, the authors have been able to uncover partially a carefully guarded watchtower secret; the names of five of the member of the new world translation committee.

  not one of these five people has any training in greek...(or hebrew).. dr. julius mantey a leading greek scholar in the world stated: "i have never read any new testament so badly translated as the kingdom interlinear translation of the greek scriptures.

  2. medical

  i was just thinking of this, because of my last post topic.

  if the watchtower changed their no blood policy to accepting whole blood, would and could that .

  open the flood gates for law suits from jdubs that sacrificed their children for the tower, or would .
