Thanks for that, StealyFace,

NLP is a good explanation for his technique. This paragraph about the "yes set" is interesting below:

"Yes Set"

First, let me give you an example of distracting the left brain. Politicians use these powerful techniques all the time; lawyers use many variations which, I've been told, they call "tightening the noose."

Assume for a moment that you are watching a politician give a speech. First, he might generate what is called a "yes set." These are statements that will cause listeners to agree; they might even unknowingly nod their heads in agreement. Next come the truisms. These are usually facts that could be debated but, once the politician has his audience agreeing, the odds are in the politician's favor that the audience won't stop to think for themselves, thus continuing to agree. Last comes the suggestion. This is what the politician wants you to do and, since you have been agreeing all along, you could be persuaded to accept the suggestion. Now, if you'll listen closely to my political speech, you'll find that the first three are the "yes set," the next three are truisms and the last is the suggestion.

I also remember the evil smirk on his face and the shrill-sounding way he said "The children are helping mommy to pioNEER .... YES" . Of course it all went over the pinheads of these people at the hall and nobody else complained about his deception. So here I am: the village idiot. It just irks me how ready they all were to condemn me to eternal destruction after knowing me since I was a child.

True love, anyway, eh?

I didn't have any sort of ill will toward them, as they had assumed, but it all makes me not even want to look at their fake faces ever again now.

Was Charles T. Russell Baptised?

by VM44 in

jw
friends

i have never read in the watchtower publications any.

indication that charles t. russell was baptised!.

in everything that i have read about ctr, no year of.

KennyC

So you mean to tell me that C.T. Russells sister was the one that officiated his baptism, and not a man of spiritual means ?

A woman ? A woman ????

Oh, I forgot, Charles was the only man of spiritual means existing in those days so it was necessary to have a woman officiate the baptism.

After all that bitchin' about his wife "conspiring" to supplant him as the editor of the Watchtower and ultimately, the GB de-incorporating themselves from holding corporate office positions, Mrs. Russell is still considered an apostate by modern JW's ? All she must have wanted to do was correct his spelling and dumb-assed sentence structures, but you know how these "inspired" individuals are: even if they spell stuff wrong they think you should change the dictionary for them.

Q:How many religious fanatics does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

A: One. He just holds it up and the whole world revolves around him.

How hypocritical can you be ?

Yo, Mistah Mojo,

I guess the difference between your trip up to the mountaintop and mine is that mine wasn't caused by LSD.

Hi Fullof...,

The Catholic church had artists incorporate the "glow" or "aura" into many paintings of Jesus, Mary and the Saints. I think they were the first to start seeing such things in a so-called Christian light.(some pun intended) They have a name for the damned thing, but I cannot remember what it was.

Great pics. However, I thought the funniest was the Google Ad entitled "Are you Hot?" at the bottom of the page. The girl looks like she has a serious case of Herpe's on that upper lip. The ridiculously long URL is below:

The fine line of apostasy

by headmath in

i've heard that placing literature written by ct russell in the door to door ministry would constitute apostasy.

at the very least a publisher would be d'fd if they did so.

i mean there are books written by ct russell that are so off the wall that your head spins.

KennyC

The question now is what older literature will the WTS allow to be placed in the door to door work.??

Luther's "Papal Bull" maybe. No wait. That must be apostate stuff too.

"Good sense stress", was the description of an elder for a circuit overseer's undue emphasis on the words "The children are helping mommy and daddy to...pioNEER.... YES". He said this during a talk of his in the early 1990's. Upon going to a pioneer meeting on that Saturday and seeing him first hand using his hands in a circular motion around a pioneers face who was sitting too close in front of him, he stated "Did you ever notice that little glow they have?" At that moment he bounced back into his chair as some invisible force hit him during his little sorcery technique. There was an elder present and several pioneers and stalwarts, including my aunt, a JW since the 1950's. I, a lone peon troublemaker however was the only one apparently who objected to spiritism that day. After being called an "apostate" a "Diotrophese" and a "slanderer" by elders I was disfellowshipped. The c.o. sorcerer was later appointed to District Overseer. He must be in his 70's by now. Leroy Langon was the name he went by.

On another occasion, when calling a girl that I was interested in from another circuit, I discovered that she had just come in from pioneer school and was talking in chirping tone of voice when she stated "Marriage is a temptation from Satan the Devil." Apparently she had been listening to some "inspired expressions" that I wasn't aware of until then. I tried to help her see things clearly and snap out of her contentious spirit she had obtained to no avail. I am sure she revels in my "downfall". And yet, on another occasion soon after, a Bethel pioneer came to our southern town and gave a slide show presentation at a neighboring KH. When he prayed for "The Spirit of this Great Pioneer Ministry", I could feel a spirit of some strange sort try to pull me up from my chair. It caused me to have a sharp pain in my neck for a while.

Needless to say I will not go back unless they change their ways. Even then, I don't believe I would ever do so since I have been waiting over 15 years for them to come to their senses. The organization hates my guts and sent a message to the elders to "do something about this". Obviously they have disavowed themselves of any responsiblity for this rampant heresy (false teaching) or it's existence, leaving it up to the elders in outlying congo's to attack any individual who speaks up to them.

Active JW Apologists: Did you take the OATH at the Convention?

by kid-A in

inquiring minds want to know: how did respond to oath # 7 which all jws were required to take at the latest dc?

"we will resist with all our strength the spirit of the world manifested in such things as materialism, unwholesome entertainment, overindulgence in food and alcoholic beverages, the plague of pornographic material and the curiosity or temptation that lures one into association with outsiders through internet chat rooms.

our resolve is to be no part of world as we carry on worship that is clean from the standpoint of our god.

KennyC

Oh. And about these oath makers:

Psalm 10 says:

5 His ways keep prospering all the time.
Your judicial decisions are high up out of his range;
As for all those showing hostility to him, he puffs at them.

6 He has said in his heart: “I shall not be made to totter;
For generation after generation [I shall be] one who is in no calamity.”

7 His mouth is full of oaths and of deceptions and of oppression.
Under his tongue are trouble and what is hurtful.

8 He sits in an ambush of settlements;
From concealed places he will kill someone innocent.
His eyes are on the lookout for someone unfortunate.

Oath making is just another tactic of insecure deceptively wicked people . The truth is such a difficult thing for them when it steps on their toes, so they must find ways to control other people and make sure that those who know the truth about their deceptions are silenced, or at least ignored by the populace that they wish to control.
