I think it's just another tool the WBTS uses to enforce their flock to be submissive. The whole "unity" above all (Even to the point of above worship of their own so called God/Jehovah) is paramount. It's all about control and power. They are making living history (again) with this enforcement, with the pedophilia issue. It's just another brainwashing excercise, to strip down the barriers of one's mind. Another "rule" to impliment and to be followed.

There's no reason from their standpoint other then "don't question us for we are the one true religion and blah blah blah".

I want Lewis to win. I wish for Lewis to win. But for some reason, even though I entirely dislike Tyson, I think Mike is going to win. Lewis is a great fighter, but as Naeblis pointed out, he has a glass jaw when it comes to the big punch.

BUT...Lewis seems to be in his best fighting shape as of now, so there is still a possibility for victory. Lewis will need to use his reach as an advantage and not let Mike get in close, keep stickin and movin. I see a win on points.

Tyson is Tyson. If he can get in close, that's where he does his damage and if it goes the distance he has shown that he is capable of doing so. With Mike I see a victory with a knockout.

I'll just be pissed if I spent another 50 bucks to see another Tyson vs. Someone 2 round fight.

7. It may be very hard to abandon some of these beliefs and customs. Relatives and friends may try to convince you not to change your beliefs. But pleasing God is more important than pleasing men.—Proverbs 29:25; Matthew 10:36, 37.

They should put an astrik at the end of this.

* Except when men please themselves with children, then it isn't as important as pleasing God.

The friends, the truth and loaded language

by detective in

as many people already know, using the term "the truth" to describe an organization's teachings is a brilliant way to constantly reaffirm it's validity subconsciously.

it's a great use of repetition to establish as fact that which is only opinion.. i keep hearing the phrase "the friends".

aside from the fact that i really don't like the terminology, i couldn't help but wonder if this isn't just another use of repetition and loaded language to enforce the belief that all of the people who share the same religion actually are your friends.. in some ways, i think it would be beneficial for some folks to drop "the truth" and "the friends" from their vocabulary so that they aren't continuing to immerse themselves in group-lingo that's intended to elicit certain emotional responses and associations.. what other loaded language can you come up with that is quasi-specific to jehovah's witnesses?
