  Running ahead of Jehovah can be done with a slow walk.

  a few days ago i read a post of someone who has recently awakened to what the watchtower bible and tract society really is.

  in their comments, they stated that they had been accused of "running ahead of jehovah.".

  "running ahead of jehovah" was a statement levied at me many times during my convoluted journey through that organization.

  i started leaving the group in 04', and quit following what they do around 08'.

  my recent posts express my reaction to what has happened since.. i just "tuned in" to the jw broadcasting episode for may 2016. it is worth a viewing.

  gb member anthony morris describes what is basically the thrust of why this entire effort exists.

  The last video in the 2016 convention...

  by problemaddict 2 in

  ...is an epic triumph is emotional manipulation.

  bringing together all of the stories they told thus far and placing them int he "new world" complete with the little boy who was killed in a car accident coming back from the dead.. i have a good friend who is stuck in with family and plays the role.

  he said everyone was crying, and the people next to him rated the videos by how many tissues they needed to dry their eyes.

  "These video productions are your best yet Herr Goebbels. They are excellent propaganda for our organization!"

  "Thank you Mein Fuhrer. First I scared the shit out of them with the Bunker Video and then I lulled them to 'sleep' with the New World Resurrection video. It should keep them emotionally off balance for quite some time while we continue to rebrand the Organization and hope no one asks too many questions."

  I think I figured out their strategy with all the creepy videos

  by JeffT in

  2. beliefs

  i came in during all the hype over 1975. the predictions about that date were the real driver behind all their activity.

  since then, they haven't had a good goad to prod the sheep.

  they seem to be smart enough not to try another date.. i think they plan to use fear instead.

  Cover of the September 2016 Watchtower.

  by jwfacts in

  the cover of the 2016 september watchtower has an islander couple preaching.

  the brother looks like he may be fijian in a traditional skirt standing in a river, doing a presentation on an apple ipad.

  i can't imagine there are many families that can afford an ipad in the pacific islands.

  The Catholics have Hellfire to keep their adherents in line.

  

  Jehovah's Witnesses have Armageddon to keep their adherents in line.

  If it's one thing that religions understand, it's that FEAR works every time!

  RC Was Worse Than I thought...

  2. experiences

  i was visiting with my family and it seems the rc was worse than i thought.

  now they all seem to think that "we are so close to the end" and that the "brothers are really preparing us for the gt".

  some even saying that soon our message will change to a judgement message for mankind and talking about how we need to improve "everything we do".

  Confusing Opinions with Facts

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in a discussion about the best flavour of ice cream everybody's opinion is equally valid.. in a discussion about the shape of the earth or the origin of species everybody's opinion is equally irrelevant.

  only objective facts and evidence matter.. confusing these two categories is a common feature of conversations in this forum.

  people deserve respect, errors do not..
