As it can be seen with religion a little bit of emotive hype mixed with a bit selective lying, can create an attractive following of people, it can also sell a lot literature.

I think you guys have given people like F Franz and his propagation of 1975 and 6000 years of mankind's existence too much credit upon believing their doctrines which they were inherently responsible for.
Some of that may be true but lets not be dismissive and forget the fact that were the top executive editorial writers for the Watchtower Corporation.
Creating articles to attract attention to the literature the WTS published was their given responsibility and job at the WTS. HQ in Brooklyn.

How do you personally deal with your still in family JWS ?
by Finkelstein infor myself i just try to avoid them intentionally maybe see them once every couple of years on average.
they used to be easy going but over the last 10 years or so they got more cult like and distant and i'm really not bothered by that, maybe a bit.
they stick to their own or other members like they are their family so, its makes it unattractive for myself to connect and reach out to them anymore.

Quite a story Stan thanks for sharing .
The insidious criminality of this cult is its enforced and regulated breaking up of families.

I always wonder why is it that people cant accept the fact that the JWS religion is operatively centralized by one singular religious publishing house the Watchtower Corporation or now by its new name JWorg ?

That "little dose" just kind of annoyed me.
As it should the WTS leaders take no shame in breaking families apart, well why would they if propagate false doctrines to enhance their literature to the public.
Establish false doctrines which end up killing people (blood issue), indirectly cause many suicides etc..
They are playing power games onto people, as if they were kings within their own Kingdom.
Its the power that made them crazy and off balanced delusional.

Disfellowhipped for not wearing facemask?
by Anna Marina inyup - person has done nothing wrong.
but they have called a judicial and from what i can tell refusing to wear a facemask is bothering them more than the person not turning up.. so is this new light?
if you have been called to a judical please remember to stay safe and wear your personal protective equimpment.

I doubt if they would DF a person for doing just that alone .
That would have to come down from the GB heads and stated in Jworg.
Sounds like someone isn't telling the whole story.

1914 a doctrinal lie that created an entire religion the Jehovah's Witnesses
by Finkelstein inwhen you think about it the jws was foundationaly created upon a single core doctrine which was created close to a 100 years ago, that is the doctrinal year of 1914 .. the leader(s) of the ibsa in 1919 proclaimed that jehovah had selectively chosen them or him as it were by j. rutherford, they also self identified themselves as the anointed class the faithful slave.. from all of these expressive endeavors a new religion sprung up eventually calling themselves the jehovah's witnesses.
years and decades followed where more and more people were lured into the faith making themselves subservient devoted members as well, some also identifying themselves as the anointed class.
the jws proclaimed through their leaders (gb) that they were true loyal witnesses to jehovah's will and purpose, but were they really ?

Obviously not for much if not all of what the JWS preached never came about.
This organization of people got caught in acts of false prophesying apostasy through the commercialization of literature which the WTS published, orchestrated by the top governing leaders of the WTS/JWS.
As it can be seen with religion a little bit of emotive hype mixed with a bit selective lying, can create an attractive following of people, it can also sell a lot literature.
The JWS religion is essentially a pretentious fraud and not only from a theological and scriptural viewpoint.
People had been coerced and indoctrinated to be faithful and loyal slaves to the workings and operational desires of the Watchtower Publishing Corporation, with all of its false "commercialized" doctrines, such as the year 1914.

One has to accept and realize that shunning non or ex-members to them is an expression of righteous vindication and devotion to Jehovah, its also entails keeping one spiritually strong and clean.
Being the JWS hold to that judgement day is just around the corner very soon, its places even more importance to keep in good standing with Jesus and Jehovah.

The WTS have made the initiative to imply that anyone who was once a dedicated member but left permanent are spiritually dangerous to associated with even family .

It truly is an evil corporation that should pay for their lies.
Yes true, but as long the believers keep pouring in the money and sustaining the power of the top orchestrative players (GB) this organization will continue on in spite of the lies, one might say its been the lies that has sustain this organization for over 100 years.
