They are good techniques, but even the Watchtower org can't hold on to it's youngsters once they come of age. You may remember that it is said that JWs have one of the most moblie religions. Meaning that most who are brought up according to the organisations rules , leave sometime in their adulthood.

4Huxley on how to control followers
by jwfacts ini was just directed to a great website lettersofnote.com that contains many famous and interesting letters.
one is from huxley to orwell, and displayed at 1984 vs brave new world.
huxley made the following prediction in 1949 on how a government can control its followers, which seems to align with the methods used by the governing body.. .

Any company that can get the same results on the internet as it did when it had physical buildings to maintain, are going to be a lot better off.
Amazon for instance is a massive sucess story not only for books but for many other things as well. If the society can get their flock to download the magazines themselves that would be a great result for them, and huge saving.

Need some help guys on blood
by alanv inrecently on the topix website we have talking about blood transfusions.. it has been asserted by one ex witness that jws are now allowed to store their blood providing it is for a limited time.
for example the blood could be taken from the patient sent to the lab to have it cleaned or whatever, and then returned to the patient.
the november 2006 kingdom ministry was cited to back this up as well as a watchtower from 2000. my question is, are jws now allowed to store their blood for a current limited time?.

Thanks refriedtruth.
I did not know this. I always though if blood actually was taken away from the body to a different area, that it was a no no for JWs.
I bet very few witnesses know this. The artticles certainly seem to agree with you. I am trying to find a current JW that knows about it.

Certainly they cannot store it for weeks or months before say an operation, but what about a few hours?

Since I left 15 years ago, I had not been called on, even though I did not formally ask to be put on the do not call list. This year someone did call as they new my JWQ son and wanted to meet his dad. We had a good chat, but very soon she was trying to get away when she realized there was no chance of a conversion.

I too used to love the brothers and sisters, that is until I started questioning some of the views of the governing body. Once I started doing that all love towards me was immediately stopped and a very cold feeling existed between me and my so called friends. Because I could no longer agree with what I had previously been taught my close JW friends dropped me like a brick.
The love shown by JWs, is totally conditional on you obeying everything the governing body say.
