  Comprehensive list of misquotes

  by JG in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  does anyone have or know of a "full and complete list of misquotations of the watchtower" if not would anyone like to help compile this list.

  i'm sure that we could find someone who would host an article or paper on this subject.

  i was thinking of a list or paper without any inflamatory wording or language that we could just hand to a jw and they would read without dismissing it as "full of hate" or appostate etc.

  The Privilege of Handling the Microphones

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the most unbelievable privileges that a brother could have was being a microphone handler.

  elders would discuss brothers for hours and see whether or not we would allow them to mow the lawn or handle a mike.

  i always felt that these brothers were doing us a favor but if they didn't get a minimum of 10 hours in per month, they were dog crap and couldn't have any privileges.

  jw's claim they are not a cult because their kindom hall meetings are open to the public.

  what are your thoughts on this?.

  The Retractable Dangling Carrot

  by TMS in

  1. jw

  some scattered thoughts about the granting or denial of privileges of service as a control mechanism:.

  this method of persuasion involving reward or punishment is so deeply ingrained in watchtower function, it is second nature.

  although sometimes subtle, sometimes blatant, everyone from new bible study to traveling overseer is subconsciously aware of the possible limiting of his official opportunities to serve god and his brothers.. .

  Witnesses and Marines

  by Grunt in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  things about the jehovah's witnesses that remind me of the marine corps.

  1. both demand conformity in hair cuts, dress and attitudes, failure to conform will bring disciplinary action and forestall.

  2. both try and isolate you from the world, though only for three months at parris island, a lifetime with the witnesses.. .
