right from the beginning, you are bombarded with others telling you what a "privilege" it is to "be used" in the organization.
especially if you're a male, it is easy to get hooked by the elder's lines.....for example, a male is given the "privilege" of "handling the microphones" if they put in enough time in the ministry and they aren't setting a bad example.
if you're "faithful in what is least", greater privileges await you.
How The Organization Hooks You With "Privileges"
Lots of dog eat dog back stabbing competition for da 'privileges' at my last Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses Rockland Massachusetts guys would kill over any assignment.WHY,as far as I could tell it was over the age old game sisters the sisters pick the bro with the highest rating.( James 3:15-16)

In my own case I am a lowly 50 yo born 3rd gen JW disabled uneducated carpenter from the woods of Maine.A google search of my name danny haszard shows 41,000 pages 99% are anti-Watchtower cult.The search results are underated probably double that.I was wrongfully Dfed by a JC in 1992 that took a gamble that I would come back.
I have sent that cong and the Watchtower HQ about a dozen certified letters,telegrams over 15 years demanding reinstatement and or a monetary damage settlement.They have completely ignored me except for slashing my truck tires and other harassment.
I am a FAIR guy you were given lots of warning!

ever wanted the floor to just swallow you up?then spent the rest of the wkend shittin it coz of whats gonna happen when you walk through the school doors on monday morning.think its affecting my parenting skills as an adult though coz am so aware of how my children feel about things, and the importance of never making them feel awkward or embarrassed.makes me wonder how much my parents thought of my feelings?i think they thought any bullying was a necessary form of torture, and would help me feel as christ did,i was probably sposed to enjoy it.
BIG TIME every single saturday and this during the patriotic early to mid 1960's

Ronald Bailey | August 16, 2007, 11:38am Millenarianism has a venerable history in the West traced back to early Christians who anxiously anticipated an imminent Last Judgment and the advent of a "new heaven and a new earth" (Rev. 21:1).
years ago there was a witchtower talking about a "cleansed" earth.. there was a tract that used the same obscene picture.. the globe is portrayed, with a huge hand (plus cloth) polishing it.
there is a torrent of knives guns, roulette wheels, atomic missiles, tanks, syringes, falling off.
"golly gee!
This is similiar?
barbara anderson has just released a new book on cd that contains some 5000 pages of public court records from the nine lawsuits involving 16 victims that the wts settled secretly in may of this year, plus documents from two other cases the society settled in 2000 and 2006.. .
its called secrets of pedophilia in an american religion: jehovahs witnesses in crisis.. .
the book, and more info from barbara about it, is available here:.
Danny...you have people fighting mad. And yes most people that are witnesses think that this is a lie as if Barbara made fake papers. WTF? BUT...it has people looking I am sure. pages and pages of people looking. It also is quite curious how when you start to look how if questions cant be answered topics get buried under red herrings. Suddenly there are a ton of topics about why apostates hate Jehovahs people. It is sad really. The poor pitiful me syndrome.Even active witnesses saying how well they have planned for retirement and how all kids are watched by thier own parents so no kids are ever alone with anyone. It looks like possibly one lawyer for the JW's might be on a thread IMO because there sure is a huge argument as to why this has to be a fake doc buried under a bunch of legal mumbo jumbo slanted towards the society making it look as if this is just a huge for profit thing. One thread even was so proud of the two witness rule. How other churches would do good to adopt it. Wow.
Warning to Watchtower leaders! The fiercest enemy is the man (or woman) with nothing to lose.I am the Watchtower's very own FRANKEINSTEIN'S MONSTER defined as the "creature that turns on it's creator" you made me watchtower and millions more that you have defrauded and pissed off.
I was born into it 1957 to hard core pioneer clan that was reproached for getting 'knocked up' with your's truly. What prevailed back then was HOPE because everyone was deluded with prophecy's that had not yet expired also there was a lot of cold war fear and no counter information just the obscure 'evil slave'. It was still the blind following the blind and all the old timers are now sadly ALL DEAD. The WT seemed more humble then much poorer too.Now they have bloated into an arrogant PARANOID egotistical tyranny.They are like a wounded animal backed into a corner,it's dog eat dog now. Forensic psychologist say control freak cult leaders like Jim Jones and David Koresh will never give up (abdicate) control they will commit suicide or die in flames.We can indeed see a like arrogance with the Watchtower leadership. Jim Jones started out benevolent and in the end his paranoia had spun out of control. A hard fast rule people imitate the God that they worship,Satan rules the Watchtower a deceptive abomination.
eeeeeeek run for cover...........
