  Thought Control (A simple test for JW's)

  by TD in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in george orwell's novel 'nineteen eighty-four' the capitulation of the principal protagonist is portrayed in his willingness to assent to the proposition that two and two make five.

  once he had denied objective reality, his mental conquest was complete and he was no longer truly the master of his own mind.

  nineteen eighty-four is in many ways, a very depressing read.. a charge commonly leveled at jehovah's witnesses is that the type of mind control envisioned by orwell has been and continues to be used on them.

  Does the society assign circuit overseers based on their personalities?

  by hoser in

  the reason i am asking is that lately i've noticed a trend.

  we get a real good down to earth guy who is easy to work with and we get used to his way.

  of doing things and then 3 years later we get a self righteous abusive a$$hole that thinks he is above all.

  keep everyone on egg shells?

  That could be a motivation. Then again, perhaps around 50% of C.Os are just assholes.

  Yes, I have noticed a 'good cop, bad cop' rotation also.

  What's The Biggest Difference In Today's JWs And The Witnesses From Decades Ago?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i believe today's witnesses lack zeal, resolve, "love" of the "truth"......just to name a few things.. years ago, witnesses were excited to knock on doors and tell people they were gonna die if they didn't accept paradise.. now, when you see jws in service, they all look zombied out.. it's a slowly dying religion that will last probably forever like an ancient rotted out tree..

  What I have noticed is that most of the younger ones (which for the purposes of this discussion will be the under 60s) don't talk about 'the truth' amongst themselves at all. When I was a child they did.

  Read S. Hassan's Book: Do JW's really fit the cult mold?

  by simon17 in

  first time i got a chance to read his book, "combatting cult mind control" and was interested to see if jw's fell into the cult mold.

  my opinion after carefully reading and having left the witnesses after almost 30 years is... no, they don't.

  however, i would add that they wish they were but are simply too big and unwieldy to really pull it off.
