Do you have to hate what Jehovah hates to be his friend?
Do everything we tell you to be our (other JWs) friend.
How can you love what is right?
Learn to do everything we tell you and be controlled by us.
How can you oppose the devil?
Do everything we tell you.
Can you draw a picture of that?
Picture of someone refusing to eat with a co-worker.
Are you getting baptized today?
= Are you joining our cult today?
No? When?
= You must join. You know you want to …. We want to make you commit to joining early.
T/F
Baptism means you will never/ever sin again?
No. The elders sin quite often when they cover up pedofiles. Pedofiles are JWs and they rarely get punished. Sinning is not the key. You need to promise to follow our rules from here on out. If you don’t, your family will disown you and your life-long friends will forget about you.
All baptized witnesses will survive Armageddon?
No. We use this to guilt you into doing what we say. If we told all of you that you would survive, we couldn’t use that to guilt you into working for us anymore.
A person must be baptized every 10 years?
No. Once you get dunked, you are stuck for life.
Watch the baptism. Those people have dedicated their whole life to serving Jehovah. How many are they?
= How many people have joined our cult today?
Do not follow after the crowd.
= You’ll never feel normal again once you join.
Do not follow your hearts and your eyes.
= Never listen to that nasty conscience of yours. Listen to us instead.
Do no follow unrealities.
= Being a JW is following unrealities but we are trying to twist it around to make everyone else seem wrong.
Do not follow false teachers.
= another talk about how evil apostates and churches are.
Do not follow false stories.
We’re going to tell you that the gospel of Jesus thing might convince you to leave us so stay away from that. Also apostates. They are evil.
Do not follow Satan.
We turn all things that we want you to think is bad into a metaphor for Satan. "Wind chimes are the devil."
"And they will be taught by Jehovah."
We want you to think this scripture applies only to us so you’ll feel special.
Help them return to the flock:
= We’ve got to get those apostates to stop. They are airing our dirty laundry.
Don’t busy yourselves at the convention. You need to listen to the talks.
I don’t even have to comment on that one.
