Many cults use repetition and word association . What the mind hears the most it believes.

Sighhhhhhhh, the Draw Close to Jehovah book again for the Congregation Bible Study.
by Stand for Pure Worship incheck out this gem from the dec 2013 km which explains why it's good to over this book a second go round.. "congregations previously considered this book during 2004 and 2005. however,for many of the approximately two million publishers who have come into the truth since then,this will be the first time that jehovahs endearing qualities have been discussed in detail.for those who studied the book before, the review will help them to deepen their appreciation forjehovahs attributes.ps.119:14".
i gotta kick out of this because i can only think of maybe two or three new ones in our congregation who weren't present when this book was first studied.
at the same time, going over jehovah's qualities isn't something new.

because this is an open forum and most of the people on here have been Jehovah's Witnesses or are trying to escape it's tenticles.
I being in that same position of being an ex trying to free myself from the cultish tenticles of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.
So when a Jdub comes on here, (even though the Governing Body has counseled them against it) and says cultish things it rankles many here.
However, you can say anything you want, you just have to be able to deal with the consequences.
Sorry but this isn't the Kingdom Hall were every one has to agree with each other.
If you want to be here then stop whining, count your time and don't tell the elders that you are on a website that has many former believers on it.
Try to keep an open mind, you might learn something.
I see your leaving. Good Bye Bro Mike your always free to come back

Shows you how boring a Jdub's life really is.
meetings and field service week after week then every once in a while a new guy shows up for a week and it's special.

The End of False Religion Is Near! HAHAHA
by tootired2care inmemories!
i remember a few years back being involved in the campaign work, and having the distinctly awkward experience of having to hand the householders this piece of sh1t tract "the end of false religion is near!"..
i recall the discomfort i had trying to get into a conversation about this nonsense.

I've heard-say that the Society was quietly hoping to spark the great tribulation with this tract. Nothing official. Just several expressing the same thought which made it curious. I wonder if any others have heard such a thing?
I didn't hear this from anyone but I thought it.
