Its all about manipulation and control. They are the masters at playing,"head games". They love to change the focus on things so the members think the time is even closer to the big day. It is just another way they wave the carrot.

What do you think of the GB's new tactics?
by lepermessiah inhere is what i am getting at with that subject title:.
this sunday's wt study article really hit home for me what many have been talking about on the forum.. when i was growing up, there was a big deal made about the identity of each gb member - people would wax poetically about working with them at bethel, meeting them at a convention, etc.it wasn't unusual for them to be frequently named in articles, pictured in books, and somewhat glorified.. the president of the wtbs was practically on par with christ - he was viewed as practically a deity.. i had friends who could not only name the 12 apostles, but could rattle off the names of the gb members!
now, it seems like the tactic has changed, starting with the reduction of the presidents' role of a few years ago - place massive emphasis on the gb itself as a unit, but keep the profile of the members lower.

semiautomatic air pistols
by megaflower ini am looking into getting myself a pellet pistol.
my reason for a pellet is it will not kill anyone but sting them pretty good.

I am looking into getting myself a pellet pistol. My reason for a pellet is it will not kill anyone but sting them pretty good. We have been getting some undesirable's and they have been breaking in to my neighbors places. We have not been hit, yet. My husband travels often and I would like to have something that would make them think twice. Iam uncomfortable with shotguns etc plus I do not think I could shoot knowing what the outcome would be with something so powerful. Any suggestions?

Yes, I totally agree that young children should not be exposed to those talks. What where they thinking, apparently not about the childrens welfare.

Talks, Public Sermons. I bet you thought this thread was about something else,lol. WE had them quite often, hmm must have been a huge problem. One thime they said, you can touch below the waist but never kiss down there. WTF The WTS involves itself in every aspect of ones life. They are way out of line when it comes to the bedroom.

Something You Hate About The Jehovah's Witness Religion
by minimus inone thing that truly bothers me is that the religion forces you to accept an understanding they have expressed.
they might very well change their view and you simply have to accept the newest view or you are the bad guy!
the generation understanding has changed so much since its inception, how could any witness possibly be 100% sure that what they're told to believe in is "the truth"??.

I'am a horrible speller and college educated. There is no link to IQ and spelling ability-a proven fact. English is my first and sadly my only lauguage and grammer is not my strong suit either. My strength lies in science, medical science.

There will come a time when you no longer care what anyone thinks. It is your life and no one else's. You need to do things that will make you happy. We all wake up and move along at our own pace. You will find yours too, it wil take some time. Peace.
