i don't post here much anymore, but i am working on a project with a few academics from my area who are in the psychology field.
we are looking for printed evidence in their literature that jehovah's witnesses train their publishers/pioneers to target people who are suceptible to being recruited - i.e.
people who have experienced a loss, or who are emotionally vulnerable.
Don't know if they use this anymore but there was a tract called "Hope for the Dead" that my mother used to give people who just lost a loved one, which was bascially promising them that they would see that person again during the Paradise . . . (makes me sick just to think of that)
As soon as a Dub found out you lost someone thru death they'd whip that one out on you
I heard you on the conference call this past Saturday, but unfortunately they were having technical problems and your audio was fading in and out.
dude, every picture i see of any bethel heavies or gb members (a lot of cos also) have them wearing a second huge gold ring!
this is a clear sign of "hey i'm a bigshot!
" you just dont see that in interviews of celebrities or politicials.
Toweragent - I bet you can figure out where else the rank and file can kiss them . . . .
weekday afternoons: a soap opera featuring judicial committees, demon possessions, and wives clamoring to be the ones who host the circuit overseer's lunch.
saturday mornings: sparlock cartoon.
friday evenings: reality show featuring jw dating.
To borrow a title from an old game show, how about they start a show called "To Tell the Truth". On second thought i don't they're capable of doing so.
so it's rumored started by one member that there is a new pioneer rank called basic pioneer, announced at annual meeting.
can anyone verify this is true?
everything else presented at the meeting has been verified except this.
10 hour pioneer - 10 hours is more or less what the average publisher puts down on their time sheet every month, whether they made an actual 10 or not.
JWTV. org - All I can picture in my mind is some hokey quiz show with that organ music in the background like the quiz shows from the 50's and Carol Merrill from Let's Make a Deal standing in front of the boxes as some loser elder wearing a plaid sports jacket and bow tie asks you do want Box number two or do you want what's behind the curtain?

battle of beliefs: baptist evangelist, nation of islam muslim, and jehovah witnesses vie for souls at new york's subway stations.
The Amish folks are getting into the act too. I could tell by the way they were dressed they were Amish. I don't know if they were there for recruiting purposes, but at a subway station a month or so ago, a big group of them were singing in the station and there were about two people handing out literature. I don't think they recruit so I guess they were just there for entertainment purposes and the literature was probably for folks who wanted to know more about them.
i've just been informed by a jw apologist that regarding the 2 witness rule in cases of child abuse, the child himself counts as 1 of the witnesses.
he also stated that if 2 children complain about abuse seperately, the 2 children then count as 2 witnesses.. any thoughts please?.

Thanks alanv - like you said there's no way those scriptures could be used for sexual abuse

Since they claim everything they do is from the Bible I want to know what scripture mentions the two witness rule.

Backseat, my father, an elder was I hospice,it was just the next step to his illness. Why do the Dubs in your area feel they have to go to the elders for that ?
Just shows it's a cult since they're not all on the same page.
