Very good post.

once again i tried to post a brief reply on another thread, but i started sharing some of my exit story, and it turned into a thesis, again... darn.... it seemed better to spare the thread and start a new topic.... .
when jesus was on earth the only sins he was preoccupied with and constantly spoke against were religious sins (matt 15 and 23 esp v15).. religionists however to hide their sins are preoccupied with and constantly speak against sexual sins plus a whole laundry list of do's and don'ts.
their legalism and moralism actually lead them away from god and his "plan of salvation" as embodied in the "good news".. this is why governing body member raymond franz left religion/ists.
Very good post.

All worldly men are lying, cheating, wife-beaters with HIV?
And all JW men treat their wives well?
Really.
this is going around dubbie-land right now.. i find it extremely ironic that the jw's are passing around this video as proof that the society is right to warn them about restricting tv watching.. notice, the guy says "if you watch a movie, you should do so critically", among other gems that the jw's will not apply to themselves.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmbymkxgrv4.
Ding,
The GB will watch TV for you, as they cannot be indoctrinated like the rest of us simpletons.

when i departed the organization in early 2006, i was giving some serious thought as to why jehovahs witnesses were going through a period of heightened expectation of armageddon.
the district convention theme for 2006 was "deliverance at hand", and it was announced by the governing body that a stinging message would be carried out against "false religion" in the fall through a tract campaign.
certainly throughout the organizations history, convention talks and watchtower publications have always used manipulative tactics in urging a sense of urgency; even in times of relative peace.
I think it's a control thing - get everyone worked up into a terrifying frenzy - "Armageddon is any second now!!"
People can only run on adrenaline for so long before they start to slow down/burn out, notice the prediction never happened.....
When that happens, it's time to start a frenzy of fear and intimidation again.
