  More fear and paranoia WT-style! (11/15/13 WT)

  by LostGeneration in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i usually dismiss the "drinking the kool aid" scenarios that are posted from time to time, but the latest wt has another bit of fearmongering.

  the quote from page 20, para 17. elders who are reading this article can draw some useful conclusions from the account we have just considered: (1) the most practical step that we can take to prepare for the coming attack of the assyrian is that of strengthening our faith in god and helping our brothers to do the same.

  (2) when the assyrian attacks, the elders must be absolutely convinced that jehovah will deliver us.

  'Train your kids to give us money'

  by The Quiet One in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this weeks watchtower study, paragraph 11: "even young children can learn to be generous toward jehovah.

  'when our family makes a donation at the kingdom hall, we let our children put the money in the contribution box,' says their father, jason.

  'they enjoy it because, as they put it, they're giving something to jehovah'.

  "Worldlies"

  by Ding in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when you left the wts, how long did it take you to realize that most of the people around you are decent folks, not "worldlies" or "bad association"?.

  how hard was it for you to accept this reality?.

  it seems to me that even after realizing ttatt, it often takes a long time to realize the extent to which the organization's indoctrination still governs attitudes and thoughts....
