WT cautions against playing pac-man 1982 Awake

by EndofMysteries in

with bizarre names like pac-man, asteroids, space invaders, battlezone and donkey kong, video games have landed themselves not only in amusement arcades but also in corner drugstores, supermarkets, gas stations, fast-food parlors and nearly everywhere else that people congregate.

their beeps and booms and colorful lights have captured the fancy and imagination of a new generation of players to the point of obsession.. other than the obvious appeal to teenagers and its commercial success, the proliferation of arcade video games has triggered reactions ranging from strong parental protests to outright government bans.

in the philippines, president marcos officially banned the games and gave owners two weeks to destroy them.

I've always associated Pac-Man with homosexuality, drugs, and prostitution. Why do people think I'm crazy for saying that?

i hope it will be printed.

it says nothing about jws, but it should get the light bulbs to go off in their heads.

Good point, Scott... and I'm glad to see you taking the initiative to send this along yourself in your own area. Honestly, if we all did this, think of the potential!

Social Networking Media to Hasten the Demise of Watchtower

by Scott77 in

the social networking media technologies like facebook, will over the years, continue to present insurmountable challenges to the growith, stability and eventual demise of the watchtower as an organisation.

realizing this inevitabilty, its therefore easy to predict that over the coming years, more and more talk about the perceived 'threat' of internet will be part of standard talks in kingdom halls, assemblies and convections.. what do you think about that?

All I know is that the internet has made it so much easier to find out the truth about "The Truth".

Yes, sites like Facebook make it so easy to associate with former JWs- and prove that they are doing quite well without the Watchtower.

Think about what was available to a JW 20 years ago compared to now. Back then a JW with questions stood alone. Now we have boards like this one that are veritable communities confirming that we all had the same doubts.

Books like "Crisis of Conscience" were hard to come by back then. Now you can easily buy them online. And newer additions like "Combatting Mind Control", "I'm Perfect, You're Doomed", and "Confessions of a Teenage Jesus Jerk" are going to make the next generation of young JWs savvy indeed.

Hell, there are even movies about the subject like "Worlds Apart".

Be very afraid, WT. You are losing control by the hour.

We're everywhere!

I plan on following this up later with a letter about Watchtower history. It will include failed expectations and modern happenings such as the alliances with the United Nations. Neither letter will use my real name. Each will be sent under a different name, so that the newspaper won't tire of the same person's rants and so JWs won't refuse to read the words of a known "apostate".

I've even been considering writing local ethnic restaurants and warning them about the Witnesses, since the Asian and Hispanic communities are the ones showing real growth in the area.

So many people on the board have a defeatist attitude, and I understand that. But this site is having an impact, and I believe we can expand that impact to our own area of the planet as an individual and therefore collectively to the world as a whole.

Thank you, Tirebiter. I am determined to do what I can to jolt the JWs in my area into reality. Deep down, their authentic personalities want this to happen. I hope everyone feels the same about those in their area and does what they can to help. We have to try. I have felt beaten down by this religion my entire life. I'm not alone in that feeling. It's time to fight back against the oppression.
