CO Comes Up With A New Way To Be Judgemental...
by JW_Rogue inat the latest co visit something very strange happened.
during the meeting with the elders and servants he passed out a copy of a hypothetical publisher card and asked us what we could learn from it.
upon receiving it i saw that the average hours were pretty good, it had return visits and quite a few bible studies.

''When I went to pioneer school an elder said that to look for a good marriage mate we should ask to see there publisher card for the past few years!!''
I have heard that discussed before. Interestingly though, most JWs do not even know they can do this, however.

"Friends" are gone
by BeautifulMind ini have (well had) an extremely small circle of jw friends.
lots of acquaintances and associates but 2 or 3 i would consider my true friends.
that list is now 0. yup, once i told them i no longer believe in the org and haven't for a long time, and their attempts to encourage me thru jw lingo and terminologies to "rely on jehovah" and not to "stray away" failed that was pretty much it.

Agreed. Once you leave the Borg mindset of ''spiritual'', you have true friends who accept you for who the wonderful person you are. Not for the dogmatic, narrow-minded appearance of how the Borg instructs people to accept others. -

The Listener,
That's kind of what I meant of ''making you speak your mind''. They come across in kind of a good-natured way. Conversations start out with a warm handshake, then a friendly chat about ''gorgeous day'', yes ''what an awesome game last night!!''
That's kinda what I meant about ''making you speak your mind''. They befriend you, they know how to talk to you. Then once you feel comfortable, you open up. It's a technique employed by elders, or in high control groups. Elders make you feel all warm, and you loosen-up, that's how they get you.
From what I gather, Elders in certain areas go to all-weekend Elders schools where they are trained how to deal with people and situations where they employ their tactics.

Oh yeah I forgot!!
I was going to mention that elders apparently are well trained to ''pull out of ones mind'', so to speak in a way. This is a trick employed to get someone to inadvertently admit what they are thinking. They will have conversations with people to open them up and hear them.
The elders will talk with people and cleverly manipulate people to admit their doubts. Someone may be going through a tough time like missing many meetings and field service. A drop in visit by a couple of elders may occur out of the blue. A casual, leisurely conversation may take place. Then they drop the line, ''Do you believe this is God's organization?''
From that point on the elders can subject you to a judicial committee with any negative response. So, yeah be wary of any visits, that is of 2 or more people. Any negative response could determine your fate. Maybe albeit, for the better.

If there are any faders or doubters reading theses posts, all I have to say is;
LOOK OUT!!
I could just be talking out of me ass here, but it just seems like there was, or will be more and more WT studies about loyalty to the Borg and ratting out those who have doubts or petty wrongdoing on the side.

I've heard too in the last year to year-and-year-and-half, the Borg is having Elders disfellowship quicker and reinstate slower. This is to ratchet up control.
The elders now more than ever are quicker to go on witch hunts to ''sniff out doubters and apostates.'' The elders are more suspicious these days of faders.
Coupled that with the desperate attempts to retain funds, this has to point to desperation in attempt to keep the Borg afloat.

It's funny that this thread has been brought up. You know, there are so many parallels with the Borg and the illuminati.
Someone somewhere else pointed out all the parallels like ''new world'' said over and over. I remember when going in field service the ''big'' pioneers saying things like ''new world order''. Now you see these broadcasts of these high-Borg people wearing all kinds of jewelry on their pinkies and what not.
Coupled that with their history of Charles Russell gravesite with that ludicrous headstone shaped like a pyramid. One really has to start wondering if the Borg indeed is somehow involved with the Masons. All the billions of dollars of assets they have,control over their members, stuff like this.
