Thanks for the welcome, Serendipity. :) ... There is almost nothing I enjoy more than laughing at the jws. ...perhaps I should say the organization specifically .. I just feel sorry for most of the members. Of course it's their own lazy, ignorant, or easily manipulated faults for being in the religion in the first place. imo.

"God is speaking of bringing them back from their captivity and being with a new remnant FROM that time, not some mysterious date only known to a few mentally deranged people with calculators who sit trying to calculate christs return from pyramid tunnel lengths." HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA god, that's tooooo funny HAHAHHAHAHAHHA. And yeah, I wondered the same thing. What possible relevance could a 1000+ year old document have to a sentence preceeding it which says the end is near....near as in another 1000 or 2000 years?

Thanks so much for posting the jpgs first and then someone else posting the pdf!! I had to do an assignment for a critical discourse analysis class (with Ruth Wodak--Lancaster University UK). I wanted to do it on persuasive discourse and immediately thought of the JWs (I was raised in the religion .. yes it is for sure a cult as you all know. I left physically when I was 18 --almost 30 years ago--.. left mentally when I was about 10 :) ANYWAY! That brochure was PERFECT. It took me all day to find something (the stuff on the official jw website is very milquetoastish). I read about Bergman's persuasive language framework of YES SET, TRUISMS and SUGGESTION in Grundy's piece titled Fear and Mind from here: http://www.jwfacts.com/index_files/mindcontrol.htm. It seems that the author(s) of that JW thing must have read the same article because it fits the framework perfectly. Made my paper easy and entertaining to write. :) I've really enjoyed reading all of your amusing and interesting comments. I've laughed out loud several times. I love the "End of the Watchtower" cover ... that's EXCELLENT!!! I really want a tee shirt with that. :)) Besides all the glaring bullshit in the brochure, one thing I found particularly entertaining (besides the "mixing in politics, immorality/sexual abuse, and keeping families together") was the quote from the book called _Holocaust Politics_. Isn't it just a little ironic that a document talking about the anhilation of all other religions and their members except one and its members should even cite something about the Holocaust? I don't know how the author(s) could keep a straight face while they were writing it.
