In addition I have to ensure that I make sure to spell sure correctly in the title when I write Make Sure of All Things see what happens when you do not make sure.!!!!!!!!!

Thirty Years a Watch Tower Slave
by Londo111 ini just finished reading this and enjoyed it.
however, if i was newly awakening or on the verge of awakening, i dont think this book would have helped me a great deal.
brother schnell has some good thoughts, however, he is short on detail and description, and even shorter on proof and documentation.. it is interesting reading about the transition of the bible students from a small group of independent noncomformists into an organization characterized by total conformity.

I agree compared with Ray Franz's book there is no comparison but at that time in the mid 1960s it was a life raft ok a rickety wooden pallet if you like and I jumped off it a couple of times but it got me to a much larger search and rescue vessel thank God. You have to appreciate that back then there was hardly any effective written expose of the mad cult the Watchtower had an answer for everything in the form of a cheap to produce little book written on cigarette paper pages called Make Shure of All Things they had cornered the market in false propaganda .

Way back when that book was written there was hardly any hard information about the errors and damage that the Watchtower Org. created I first saw it in our local Library and I was warned off reading it but thankfully I did manage to read it and its contents made me realise the Watchtower was not all it claimed to be.
The book that clinched it for me was another book he wote called INTO THE LIGHT OF CHRISTIANITY not that I agreed with everything he expounded but it certainly started me thinking that all was not well in Watchtower land .
I think he died of a heart attack eventually around about the 1970s.

OTruth.
I agree and it's good to have achieved your PHD and obtaining insight into what motivates our actions maybe the sub conscience is our true soul .
The list you supplied certainly clarifies some of the muses going through my brain from time to time and answers the question why.

Any explanation from the WT as to why Adam and Eve did not have sex before they sinned? (and other Genesis stumpers)
by BU2B in(disclaimer- i know this is all fairy tales but i like to pick genesis apart since many millions still take it literally and is the foundtion of jw doctrine.
without genesis being real, the whole thing collpses).
i was just reading through genesis yesterday, and it really hit me.

The truth is and I got this from divine inspiration God said to Adam you will take Eve as your lawfull wedded wife or else and Adam looked at Eve and then said to God well let me have a look at your Else and this time leave my chest alone.

i mean, there's enough humor and drama in jw culture to keep audiences entertained for multiple seasons.

Just to add as an afterthought it takes awhile for me to get my head around that list of concepts but its interesting nevertheless.

objectivetruth thanks for the info you have caught onto something important from a psychological point of view with this subject namely why certain traits in humans cause them to think and act the way they do. The Jdubs fit very neatly into all of these categories and the list you have compiled highlights the answer to "why would anyone believe all that nonsence." Let's face it with the Witness religion it's all in the mind and the Governing Body are the arch mindbenders.

The big attraction is there is no swearing like you would get in a Worldly care home which is not gauranteed due to illness but the the biggest perk of all is you get taken to the meetings or the meeting is piped into your room now that's not all there's more the memorial is brought to you so it's well attended problem is hardly anyone can remember what its for and can't understand why they are not getting any supper.

Yes I especially remember when I first started going from door to door with Bible in hand during several years of the last century which would be 2 or 3 generations ago I kept telling people that when you see all these signs foretold be on the look out for Jah Jireh Homes because the futures bright the futures that away!
The guy a JW who started J J Homes originally ran a guest house in a local UK seaside resort but diversified maybe he saw a gap in the charity market. I think JJ Homes might be franchised now or expanding on similar lines.
