I thought the video captured perfectly the joyless, soul crushing experience a JW childhood brings.
Being made to throw away toys worldy reletives had bought because they were related to something magical? Check
Being made to feel guilty because something you did made Jehovah sad? Check
Constantly being told to be obedient? Check.
They captured mind control well. To be totally realistic they should have show the kid getting spanked after walking on the clean floor, then being made to clean it by himself.

I remember when the society first started broadcasting the programme on FM radio, just in the vicinity of the assemble. Hot summer afternoons, it was a 'treat' to be able to go to the car park & listen in on the car radio. In several other cars you would see the head of the family sleeping in his car while wifey & kids were still in the stadium!

An experience I had that is directly related to the WT's blood doctrine and policy.
by La Falta Habitacion Por Sr Hor-Hey!! inoccasionally there are threads or posts that deal with what punishment or sanction is to be expected when one submits to a blood transfusion.
the real answer to that question is two-fold as it all depends on the person's attitude and whether or not they show remorse.
if that's the case, the individual will definately lose their prvileges and maybe even a vague announcment will be made to the congregation that the elders have had to assist the individual with a spiritual matter.

I do get the feeling now that the society basically wants JWs to follow their Drs orders, take the blood transfusions & then feign or feel repentance afterwards. In such cases they get no bad publicity from JWs dying, and they gain a grateful true believer who loves them for merely giving them a private reproof.

The Predictions Thread
by cedars ini thought it might be interesting and fun to have a "predictions thread", where we set out our predictions for events to unfold concerning the watch tower society (or jehovah's witnesses in general) over the coming years/decades.. it strikes me that so much has happened in the last ten years, most of which has defied expectations.
here's just a few of the developments that i can think of:.
the abolishment of group book studies in favor of a "family worship evening"the creation of a "study edition" watchtowerthe halving of monthly magazine printing commitmentsthe unprecedented closure/merging of branches (16% reduction in branches last year)the menlo park scandal, a body of elders removed for resisting a refurb of their kingdom hallthe lawsuits in victoria, australia - the society taken to court concerning child protection lawscourtroom admissions about the faithful & discreet slave and similarities with the catholic churchincreased hate speech against "mentally diseased" apostatesastonishing lapses of judgment, such as the "selma and steve" study articlethe ditching of gilead as a school for missionariesambitious construction plans for a new world hq (with or without jehovah's blessing!

They will stop publishing the yearly count of the anointed.
They will eventually stop publishing comprehensive stats in favour of meaningless figures i.e. "We are overjoyed to report a 100% increase in publishers for the territory of Lesser Ingutax" (population 2)
The Awake! magazine will become a quarterly journal, as will the public Watchtower.
District conventions will become small enough to hold in circuit assembly halls, and will be reduced to 2 days.
More congregations will share, with excess property to be sold off. (After refurbishment)
