  saturday, september 19th, 2015: .

  earlier today snugglebunny posted a pic of today's "daily text" which is based on a paragraph from the november 15th, 2013 article.

  that magazine contains the now infamous maxim: .

  yeah that statement about ''obey any instructions we may receive, whether hey are strategic from a human standpoint or not'' just gives you the chills, it does make one wonder what they have up their sleeve.

  Fading policies and doctrines

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  first a clarification - this is not about policies on faders etc.

  it is about how the borg allow policies and doctrines to fade rather than correct them and apologise for mistakes.

  here are two examples of what i mean:.

  yeah, I agree 1914 is such an old date now, I see it more and more fading into the background with the ''generations'' teaching now covering it.

  It is true that without the donation system, the Borg's entire assets are in jeopardy.

  "Be Generous" caleb cartoon

  anybody see the new cartoon?

  the girl has a quarter and is going to get an ice cream but then puts it in the contribution box instead.

  the gb want to make sure they guilt and suck the kids meager allowances dry as well and prep them as they grow up to keep giving!

  Total desperation for money it seems. Having to play on young impressionable minds to feed greed. Disturbing.

  Washington Post in US: Jehovah's Witnesses Face Child Sex Abuse Investigation in Australia

  by cultBgone in

  it's finally hit mainstream media in the us!

  let's hope some savvy investigative journalists see a pulitzer for opening up this story to cover the us and worldwide cases.. jehovahs-witnesses-face-child-sex-abuse-investigation-in-australia/2015/08/14/.

  everyone who is able should hurry up and post comments on their website as the pro-jw forces have rallied and are trying to squash this as libel.

  "Getting Baptized Is A Protection...."

  by dubstepped in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm sure that most of us heard that line when we were young.

  i never could convince myself of that, other than that it hung a blade over my head that would then be on the chopping block should i err in some way and thus they would be protected from me, but i also knew that i needed to do so anyway.

  otherwise i'd be a pariah if i got older and didn't take the step, and i wanted to be good in their eyes.

  Telling young minds ''getting baptized is protection'' is a control tactic. Especially young impressionable minds, say before the age of 18. It's a billion year contract which you can never get out of without immense mental strain and social ramifications. Like someone said before it's like 'The Hotel California, you can enter but you can never get out of.'

  Pretty much everything is apostate if it is not 100% in agreement with the Borg. That's why there is so much information control to whatever you read, watch, or breathe,lol

  I JUST FOUND out that my husband was in one of the Dramas at the RC

  by PaintedToeNail in

  i just learned that my husband was in one of the dramas at this year's rc.

  i have no idea which one.

  the way that i found out is: while looking for a confirmation email for a plane trip we are making, i opened his account.

  yes, all live dramas have gone by the wayside. People actually told me last year that they spent hours and hours before the 2014 Regional convention practising dramas. When convention time came, much to their surprise, all their practise was moot because they now use this technology to broadcast videos.

  Wouldn't surprise me at all if they start using more and more GB members to give recorded videos at assemblies, in a way to make the R&F more awe-inspired or more fearful of the Borg.
