All authoritarian thought-control regimes (eg, Stalin's USSR, Nazi Germany, Pol Pots Khmer Rouge), both political and religious, encourage people within the community to dob suspected dissenters in, even one's closest family and friends.

by fulltimestudent infrom: business insider, australia.

Two northern communist and atheist totalitarian regimes that dislike JW's and religion in general collaborating.
From a JW perspective, you've got to put your money on these two eventually (in a few decades) becoming a new duel world power the eclipses the USA becoming the 'King of the North'!!?

Hi Everyone!
by poopsiecakes ini haven't been here in quite a while and thought i'd pop by.
i do lurk at times, i confess lol.
after reading the recent publications at the new golden calf (jw.org), my mind is kind of blown that jw's are still not seeing through the constant adjustments, clarifications, new light and reversals.

JW's have been bamboozled so long by the Governing Body the majority of them are no longer interested in finding out the truth. The majority are not noble-minded like the Boreans who critically examined what Paul taught them, they are intellectually simple-minded. All religions are the same.

GB Gerrit Losch and his questionable article in the 7/14 WT study edition!!!
by ADJUSTMENTS inin this article gerrit talks about his father in the first and last paragraphs, what he says about him and his hope for him goes against all that witnesses have preached about the worldly for the last 100 years... as i recall aren't all the worldly supposed to be destroyed and never have a hope of everlasting life like jw's are, and isn't that the purpose of the preaching work to baptize and warn the worldly of this???
if not why do jws even preach, or even become jws in the first place if all have a hope of everlasting life, jw and non-jw, are they releasing a little hint at new light to come???
or am i just missing or over analyzing something?.

ex-JW's who do not even understand the basics of JW doctrine 101, such as ADJUSTMENTS evidently doesn't, shouldn't start threats slamming JW doctrine. Embarrassing.

Service meeting october 2014
by Gorbatchov inreading the october 2014 service meeting program, i notice that at all the meetings there is a part about urgency.. urgency, urgency, urgency!
because it's 100 year kingdom rule.. great part is the "explain what we believe about 1914" part.. the 100 year kingdom rule party is still going on, but they have to be told what 1914 is about.. it's just the ddr.
40 years socialism!

How much meaning are the rank and file putting on October 2014?
by JimmyPage init's definitely on their minds.
i attended a funeral recently and a jw told me that the person who died almost made it to the 100 year anniversary of the birth of the kingdom.. curious what comments like this you've heard in your area?.
(and can't wait for november!).

Only a tiny minority take the 'October' aspect of it seriously.
Overall though, there's a real awareness of the 100 year 'anniversary' and a somewhat heightened sense that 'something' is about to happen.
This last service year will no doubt report a 'healthy' increase in publisher stats in the annual report from this 100 year anniversary hoopla. We'll probably also see this again in the 2014/15 service report. But the sense of disillusionment and disaffection, already worsening, will start to take hold from 2015/16 service year onwards.

Ironically, JW parents are prepared to 'sacrifice' their infants to Jehovah out of blind and erroneous belief to the Watchtower's blood transfusion policy, which is easily proven to be completely scripturally false anyway.
Any form of sacrifice of human life out of obedience to some claimed divine directive is a detestable thing, not something that ever came up into Jehovah's heart, according to scripture.

Dubs - Paradoxes From Hell
by Farkel indubs - paradoxes from hell.
jesus said his yoke was kindly and light.. dubs brag their religion is the "hardest religion in the world.".
the bible tells children to honor their parents.. the wts tells children to betray their parents.. if dubs really live in a "spiritual paradise," why do their lives have to be threatened to stay in it?.

"Facing the End of This Old World Together"
Isn't this the most fear-mongering title since "Is it Later thank You Think?"?
Yep, shameless FEAR mongering is what the religion is all about folks. This is why they created a public Watchtower and private Watchtower - so they can ramp up this disgusting fear-mongering, doomsday rhetoric in their increasingly desperate bid to keep JW's in mental fear of leaving their exposed religion.
We saw the same 'end is nigh' scare-mongering tripe in another recent study article showing a congregation hiding in a cellar. The storm of Armageddon is approaching like a tornado, close the hatches and bunker down. Your lives depend on listening to the Governing Body's instructions and staying in the organisation despite common sense dictating otherwise. FEAR FEAR FEAR.....
Thanks Watchtower Society for yet more proof that your religion is the world's biggest doomsday cult.
