  Misleading advice at the Hall.

  by edmond dantes in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  words of wisdom at the kingdom hall went something like " don't marry for looks because looks fade.

  " what i want to know is if the person you married turns out to be a crabby old miserable so and so how do you cope with ugly personality plus ugly looks.i mean if you marry a looker at least you have enjoyed some vision of delight, if you get stuck with both you are in a double bind.

  "Go for someone spiritual"!! What they really meant was, date someone who is a mindless follower of others. My ex put on a show, she would aux-pioneer, but I knew her heart wasn't in it. She did it to impress others, not cause she sincerely wanted to. She was a victim of too much oppression and control. Oppression and control from the two sources she put the most trust in; her parents, and her 'faith'. When I began 'courting' her, she was a dysfunctional broken assemblage, not that I was any better, for we both had yet to develop our own independence.

  ok, that's shameless, but it's the premise of this overdub i did of a jesus movie.

  i'm somewhat partial i know, but i think its pretty funny and very telling.

  Martin Luther Sounds like He's talking about the WTBTS in the 1500's!

  by AuntBee in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  usually i'm just a lurker.

  i'm a chrirstian concerned for a jw teen, and wanting to understand what he's going through, and where he's coming from i don't usually post, but this morning i came upon this while reading from the sermons of martin luther , volume 1. he's speaking about luke 21:28.. "the godless fanatical preachers are to be censured who in their sermons deprive people of these words of christ and faith in them, who desire to make people devout by terrifying them and who teach them to prepare for the last day by relying upon their good works as satisfaction for their sins.

  here despair, fear and terror must remain and grow and with it hatred, aversion and abhorrence for the coming of the lord, and enmity against god be established in the heart; for they picture christ as nothing but a stern judge whose heart must be appeased by works, and they never present him as the redeemer, as he calls and offers himself, of whom we are to expect that out of pure grace he will redeem us from sin and evil.. such is always the result where the gospel is not rightly proclaimed.

  Brilliant book on Brainwashing

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i recently finished the book brainwashing - the science of thought control by kathleen taylor (oxford university press inc., new york, 2004).

  this presents an excellent summary of current research into the biology and psychology of the brain and identifies how organizations use this for the purposes of control.

  it discusses well known research such as by lifton and festinger, but also goes into a lot of scientific research into the biology of the brain.
