I posted this video awhile back in case someone wants to view it.

The similarities of what this woman stated in how she was controlled by Mason is

is so close to how the WTS. controls and culls members .

Expressive love at first then fear to keep them controlled and submissive to the leaderships directives.

Note the part when she says that Mason told the group that thinking is stinking.

Any thoughts that weren't in-line with his own he would threated the individual in front

of everyone else, just like the WTS. ( the WTS. uses DA or DF ) and announces it in front

of the congregation.

Onereason for a gentleman fader to stay reasonably associated...

one congregation phenomenon i have observed in a variety of halls - older, not so model material brothers have a real chance with younger, attractive sisters - and often at the prodding of the young sisters parents and congregation members.. and if you have a little more scratch than the average jw brother (which isn't hard to do with a bunch of window washers), you really have an advantage.. a 40 year old man walking through the mall would have zero chances with an attractive 18+ year old girl.

but take that same man, who has been faithfully attending meetings and doing all the right things and put him in the kingdom hall and suddenly anything is possible.. sad, but true.. of course, who wants all the drama that comes with a girl that young - but it is something i have observed.. when i was in my early 20's and came back into "the truth", and i had a few dollars - and i had so many sisters tripping all over themselves for me... and the ages range from late teens to late 30's.

it was crazy.

Men in the congregation can consider much younger women, but not always the other way around.

Exactly, there seems to be no lack of single woman in Kingdom Halls.

My father remarried a woman last year that is 20 years his junior.

This sister was asking him out and over to her house just weeks after my mother passed away.

A situation that surprised him and pissed off the rest of the family, including me.

She's been married a few times before and does not carry with herself a good character profile,

even though she claims to be of the anointed which she waves in front of herself as a white sheet

of righteousness, in reality her history shows otherwise.

Oh well thats love and relationships down at the kingdom hall.

Did You Have Any Positive JW Leanings When You First Came Here?

by minimus in

were you ever somewhat projw when you first came to this site?.

thetrueone

Nun whatsoever, I came here to help people out.

I realized years ago that it was a commercialized coercive cult, that was screwing people lives up,

so I jumped in as supportive help.

I left the Borg in 1980.

CO spins the continuous faithful and discreet slave doctrine - explaining how ONE GENERATION OF SLAVE FED ANOTHER for 1900 years!

by LUKEWARM in

here are my notes from his service talk theme:.

isa 65:3 = we live in a rich spiritual paradise (isa 65:3).

what is the history of the faithful and discreet slave?.

thetrueone

CO are just middle management marketing executives for the WT Corporation , their self imposing bullshit streams

down from the top and into the mouths of COs.

Thats in essence their job and duty.

Remember when a CO comes to visit a hall , its an anticipation of new information on when the world is

going to end and paradise start.

Whataburger sounds like what he's saying its worth being a disingenuous cad, just to get a piece of young tail.

Yes its true that single men who have money and are reasonably good looking will attract a lot of attention

to himself, even girls half the age of the man in question.

There are also stories of girls scoping kingdom halls and assemblies for men, so this

is not just a male situation.

By the way my sister got hooked up to one of these wolfs with white sheets over themselves,

only to get divorced a couple of years latter after this pretentious facade waned itself out.

EVERTHING you ALWAYS wanted to KNOW!

there are a large number of very smart people here.

a vast array of intelligences has a power and scope quite out of the ordinary.. ask a question you've always wanted to know (not necessarily religious in nature; just in general) from trivia to personal inquiry......let it out now.

somebody will know the answer!

Parents see the Santa story as a means of discipline placed on to their children, ie. Santa rewards good children who behave properly with gifts.

When the realization comes around that there really isn't a Santa, there usually is wide and varied response,

but for most part in a child's mind there is much imagination and fantasy that gets dissolved during the child's growth and development.

Christmas is really a great lie told and believed not just by children but as adults as well.

The Commandment to not tell a lie or bare false witness must have been forgotten in this regard which

is ironic since its been postulated by the very spiritual organizations that are said to uphold this biblical doctrine.

Shared Child Abuse News with JW about Nancy Garrido being a JW

by flipper in

went to the post office the other day and saw this older jw , an elder, was outside holding the wall up leaning on it while being frozen standing there like a mannequin holding watchtowers and awakes .

i had one of my news releases from a sociologist explaining that phillip garrido used nancy garrido and the jehovah's witnesses to get out of prison so he could have access to children for sexual crimes ; thus enabling him in 1991 to kidnap jaycee dugard.

the title of the article is : " sex offender phillip garrido used jehovah's witnesses to get early parole ".

thetrueone

Good job Flipper, whacking a JWS on the head with some insightful wisdom, just might make him awake from his indoctrinated state of limbo,

which I think all JWS suffer from in varied degrees.

Ironic isn't that JWS will believe the WTS. which has done nothing but lied to them for decades,

but then wont pay attention to social psychologists who study human behavior as a profession.

What Pastor Russell did was spend his considerable fortune in assembling ALREADY EXISTING crackpot guesses, conjectures, theories and flim-flam under one heading while distilling them into STUDIES IN THE SCRIPTURES.

Studies in the "Scriptures?"

More accurate would be "Studies in Other People's Ideas."

Well said Terry.

I've always stated that Russell really was a plagiarizer of other peoples ideas, he just further embellished them

and then commercialized them to the public.

It was due to this self effort on his part which created a sorted

aura in the publics mind that he really was a spiritually guided messenger of bible truths.

That cunning salesman !

And then asshole number two stepped in.... J. Rutherford

The WT LIE re "Sign" of the "Generation"

to the household of god, israel, and all those who go with... may you have peace!.

the following excerpt was posted from paragraph 14 of the wtbts article, "the holy spirits role in the outworking of jehovahs purpose":.

14 what does this explanation mean to us?

thetrueone

But you have to admit it was dam good marketing for a publishing house.

When it comes to bible talk you can usually bullshit your way into believability, quite easily.

Exploitation, applied fear tactics, corruption in a business and corporate sense, its all there at the WTS.

Quote a few scriptures, interpret them to your own liking and desire and

start marketing them. There bounds to be a few out of the population that will bite the bait.
