I saw the whole 1975 thing too, it sure as hell was not dreamed up by mad ex-JWs. I was born in since the early 60's.

I've got a great deal of respect for the First Nations people there is good and bad among them just like every one else. The last thing they need is brainwashing from the wtbts. It really is disgusting that they are targeting them.
1 per 500 is still too much.

Rod Jung gave an update on Canada's work (12,000+ reg pioneers, 50,000+ bible studies, 180,000+ attended last year's memorial, they are focusing a lot on translating to First Nations languages)
The first nations people here have had enough, when the wbts are focusing on first nations languages it just goes to show how desperate they are. Most of the first nation people I know are focused on getting their kids educated and learning english. The last thing they need is a family destroying cult.
I personally checked out a couple of jw books from an inuit library. The books are now over due and not likely to return LOL.

Mind control.
by New day inin a recent thread someone mentioned that the wtbts uses mind control techniques.
do you think this is a conscious ploy?
if it is it would mean that the leaders of my religion (i am still an active jw) set out consciously to control people.

The power of the printed word is immense. It is true. I know many converted dubs who said to me about what really drew them in was"if it says that in the bible then I'll believe it". Then there are people like myself that left family and religion behind at a relativley young age ,shunned and refused further indoctrination. I think there is a genetic component here. -

Education is the key to avoid being mind controlled! A big key.
I am sure there are other factors as well for example, my grandfather knew how to create and manage a farm with only a grade two education. When my father approached him with the watchtower crap he dismissed it. His church gatherings were more for socialization than being brain washed.
Maybe part of the mind control is in our genes.

The growth of Jws has definitely peaked in the developed world. Look to the BRIC countries that's where growth will be. -

1. Finding the history of the JWs is not that hard these days.
2. They do not want Jws to think outside the Jw Box.
3.They don't want the dubs asking tough questions.
I think the majority of the real zealous JW's don't want to find the history or think outside the Jw box and don't want tough questions asked, They are just spiritual cannon fodder for the borg. The rest are trapped. Sad situation when you think about it.

I wonder what would happen to the amount of discussion on web sites like this one, if they were to implement some new light policy welcoming some back? I have seen a few long time members here quit posting and go back with the existing dub policies. -

I remember the old marking system Millie. They could do that, The fact that there is an old marking system that apparently is no longer used,and no one remembers, illustrates that new light changes everything.
