  dirty trick at the meeting re facebook

  by Aussie Oz in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my daughter told me about last weeks service meeting part on facebook.... the brother doing the parts asked for a show of hands who had a facebook account.. apparently a number of elders did.. (she did not put up her hand...in fact recently deleted all jws off her friends because she doesnt want them to know anything about her life).

  i thought that was a dirty trick to pull.. oz.

  Longhairgal said it right It's all about CONTROL.

  Putting out a warning of making conversation with strangers on the net is a valid viable warning, but to insinuate

  having a FaceBook page and using it is going far over the top of personal intermingling with people's personal lives.

  One of the unfortunate aspects to high control organizations like this one.

  Power comes to these people (elders) like self appointed gods, looking after and controlling its subservient slaves.

  Its no wonder people eventually get fed up with religious organizations like this and leave it all together.

  Of course there are real dangers for people particularly young naive teenagers to start conversations with people on the net who

  they have no background knowledge of. This has been talked about many times in the media and is a worthy valid warning to be sure,

  particular concerning sexual predators.

  This religious cult like so many out there wants to control people on many levels , one way of course is who their people associate with or talk to.

  They don't want their adherents to receive information that would invalidate themselves or the organization, to do so they would lose

  all power and control of their people . Much like keeping slaves to their own subjective power, control and financial support.

  Facebook, like the inter-net itself with all of its freely open information in its entirety is deemed by them as a plausible threat.

  So what do these religious leaders do ? they denounce and demean this kind probable threat.

  Much like and similar in the way they demeaned and denounced higher education.

  The game is power and control , its entangled in their wants and desires.

  i was reading pat buchanan's book, "suicide of a superpower".

  on page 71, he speaks about the growing acceptance of homosexuality amidst religions.

  he claims that 12% of jw's think gay behavior is ok.. really?

  Many religious identifying social moral standards are becoming uselessly redundant as knowledge of humanity increases.

  Since most of these social standards were developed thousands of years ago by ancient civilizations is this really surprising.

  Expect to see more of this as they get closer to 20(14) !

  Should marijuana be considered a disfellowshipping offense?

  should marijuana be considered a disfellowshipping offense?

  there's plenty of evidence that tobacco has cancer causing agents and can thus be deemed a defilement of the flesh.. .

  therefore, since we have these promises, beloved ones, let us cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in gods fear.

  This is not so of marijuana. Recent scientific studies show that marijuana in no way adversely effects the lungs, mind or body.

  Not so fast there, recent health studies are showing mental health problems with some users.

  Marijuana and Mental Health

  A number of studies have shown an association between chronic marijuana use and increased rates of anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia. Some of these studies have shown age at first use to be an important risk factor, where early use is a marker of increased vulnerability to later problems. However, at this time, it is not clear whether marijuana use causes mental problems, exacerbates them, or reflects an attempt to self-medicate symptoms already in existence.

  Chronic marijuana use, especially in a very young person, may also be a marker of risk for mental illnesses - including addiction - stemming from genetic or environmental vulnerabilities, such as early exposure to stress or violence. Currently, the strongest evidence links marijuana use and schizophrenia and/or related disorders. 4 High doses of marijuana can produce an acute psychotic reaction; in addition, use of the drug may trigger the onset or relapse of schizophrenia in vulnerable individuals.

  Wow thats quite the video Disreetslave.

  One thing I've noticed about JWS is the organization will tell misinformation lies when self describing itself as

  well as supporting Rank and file members.

  There's always a presentation of disingenuous twisting of words as a intention to protect the organization at all costs.

  But thats the way the WTS. indoctrinates people to do just that, then they ironically say they are in " The Truth ".

  A true play of corrupt psychological manipulation.
