was life that bad for you?
we are really sorry...
I remember going to a "special talk" in Toronto in 1974 being given by on of the GBs I can't remember which one, For one whole hour this lunatic talked about how 1975 was going to be it.
I also remember it was at maple leaf gardens which at the time had limited seating capacity and many couldn't get in, they left and cleaned a park. LOL
The speaker said don't be like those on the outside who couldn't get in.
What a guy!!!

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.
in 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.

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.
last time i was at the kingdom hall they were praising themselves about all the growth in members they have been having.
is this "growth" they are having statistically accurate?or are a lot leaving?

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.
can anyone confirm they seem to be having disagreement writing dept and service dept some feel that df ok as long as you do not add wholesale across the board shunning regardless of the sin ..
