There's no possible way that this could be implemented ...
The foul odor coming from that rumor is suffocating ...
I wouldn't pay any attention to it.
Hmmmm????
Why are some of us so ready to dismiss this?
Could there be a mole among us?

Maybe by catching a few traitors, the R&F witness will see them as a wise slave.
Also, the angels are helping this wise slave to clean out the organization before the end comes.
It may make the R&F dig in deeper. -

The fact that one can spend a lifetime with people
and within an instant have very few to absolutely no real friends or family.
It has to be one of the saddest things to me.
I cannot think of any other situations in life where this happens. -

I would like to understand the science behind cigars and scotch/cognac.
Why do these usually pair well together?
From a practical standpoint, do they really complement each other? -

Glaring contradiction between 1995 new light and Society's authority as FDS
by yaddayadda inin the 15 october 1995 watchtower the society brought out 'new light' that although christ sat down as king in 1914, but he did not sit down on his 'glorious throne' mentioned at matt 25: 31 in that year.
i cant understand why the society bothered to make this change in 1995?
this change was in some ways more damaging to them than the generation change, because the society essentially sawed off the branch they were sitting on by announcing this 1995 new light.

The Hebrew Text Of The OT -OR- The Septuagint; Which Does GOD Prefer?
by FireNBandits inthe nt writers, when they quote the ot, mainly do so from the lxx, the septuagint.
a majority of the ot quotations in the nt are in fact from the septuagint, only a minority from hebrew.
when the nt writers do use a hebrew text it generally isnt the masoretic text, but another form of the hebrew text.

My goal was not to shoot down anyone's belief system or hobby,
but I (like many here) studied and sincerely believed this stuff.
Once I started questioning WT, then the dominoes would not stop falling.
By the way: What is 'too old to thump melon'? I like that phrase! -

We all spend and have spent time, times & half a time looking through letters, copies of letters & interpretations of letters.
Isn't this much like 2000 years into the future, taking a few of a person's emails from today and then studying all contextual info and linguistics to understand what they meant?
At least with emails, we could get a reasonably accurate copy of the original.
At our very best, just how accurate can we possibly be with ancient texts & dead languages? -

I am fascinated by the similarities that were learned by the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment & my years at Bethel.
It is noteworthy that even the psychologists got lost in the roles of this experiment.
No wonder witnesses go into ‘non-thinking robot mode’.
I must admit that I was definitely part of the machine during my faithful years as a JW, pioneer, bethelite, elder, etc.
Although I am sure that the organization as a whole displays similarities, the institutional intensity of bethel was particularly of interest to me.
Do any other ex-bethelites see the same?
While certainly not trying to excuse them, perhaps the GB has created a monster that grew into something that they could not control.
Here are just a few notes from the associated FAQ:
• Q: What was the purpose of the Stanford Prison Experiment?
o A: The purpose was to understand the development of norms and the effects of roles, labels, and social expectations in a simulated prison environment.
• Q: Were the guards given any special training?
o A: No. The guards were given only a brief orientation telling them to maintain law and order, avoid physical violence, and prevent prisoner escapes.
• Q: Did personality scores predict which guards were most abusive?
o A: No. The most and least abusive guards did not differ significantly in authoritarianism, Machiavellianism, or other personality measures. Abusive guard behavior appears to have been triggered by features of the situation rather than by the personality of guards.
• Q: Did any of the participants suffer lasting trauma?
o A: Despite suffering extreme emotional stress during the experiment, all participants appear to have regained their baseline emotional states after the study. Extensive follow-up testing revealed no lasting trauma to participants.
