  To PIMI's, I call it the ''sunk cost fallacy''.

  It's an emotional investment to them. To think they've given decades of their lives to the Borg to find out it's a 'lie', is just too much for them to cope with.

  when a non witness sexually abuse the child of a jehovah’s witness, who will the parents call or the elders call in this situation?

  ''Yes, but there are not two witnesses. No matter, this they will gladly report to authorities.... because Jehovah's Name will not be tarnished ...so as Vidiot said, the organization will play this up for all its worth.''

  Protecting the Organizations image is what's the most important. That was leaked on some video uploaded very recently.

  Organization comes first,,,people's lives, feelings, well being, safety doesn't matter to them.

  JW Broadcasting - simply a platform for narcissists?

  by eyeslice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one thing i notice from sitting through a number of broadcasts is just how much these guys love their titles.

  it's always brother such-and-such, member of the gb, helper to the teaching committee, etc.

  it's never simply brother such-and-such, a local elder with such-and-such congregation.. it seems to me the witnesses are pretty quick to pick up on catholics who call their priests father, which at the end of the day is in much the same vein simply a title.. i suspect these titles point to a huge amount of narcissism of the part of those who revel in such titles, certainly it doesn't seem to fall in line with christ's advocation that the greatest amongst you should be be the least.

  wow.

  while not a pew survey, i found these to be surprising results.

  " a recent yougov poll explores americans' attitudes toward 35 religious groups, organizations, and belief systems.

  ......regarding the 'slave's' statement which says the "great crowd" must also "figuratively partake?".

  w87 6/15 p. 19 par.

  13 - "in 1986: it was appreciated that both the remnant and the “great crowd” must figuratively partake of jesus’ flesh and blood by accepting his sacrifice in order to be in harmony with him.

  Are the statistics out yet?

  by slimboyfat in

  isn’t it about time they released the report for the service year?

  or have they stopped publishing it?

  did they released selected figures at the annual meeting as they usually do, such as the memorial attendance or record number of pioneers?

  yeah I know exactly,,,they only have a trickle coming-in,,if anything. Maintained by their own birthrate.

  That's why they hate JW's marrying ''worldly'' ones,,,,,it doesn't sustain their numbers.

  How come the old boys on the GB don't get kicked out at 70?

  by eyeslice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it would appear that circuit overseers (no dos these days i guess) are taken off at 70 years old.

  even older ones in bethels are disposed (sorry 're-assigned to the field) of before they get too past it.. how come though the old boys on the gb aren't shown the door at 70 and replaced by younger men - obviously of the recently anointed type?

  they don't look a particularly fit bunch so they can't claim special mightiness because of doing 'the lord's work'.

  I always wondered about this too. Why aren't those guys on the GB kicked-out at age 70 like the CO's who turn 70?
