""In other words, why does God permit evil.""
We all know what the JW's response to that is.

Incredible chocolate bars at a$$emblies$$$ ??
For the life of me,,,,,I just can't remember any such chocolate bars. I remember though the submarines, frozen chocolate puddings, danishes, chips, fruit bags, frozen orange juices, even hamburgers a few times. Even the ''food tickets'' that were replaced by the 'donation $ystem' around 1993 - 94. Until the food $ystem went good - bye around 1995.
But I just can't recall any such chocolate bars.

""Thanks Beth , l had heard of Steve Hassan but not B.I.T.E. .
Jan ""
You're welcome.
Steven Hassan hits all those elements to a ''T''.
IN fact JWdom is the 'posture child' as people have often referenced. When you sit through a convention these days,,the propaganda us ''upped'',,the ante is upped. With videos, music and such.
Tear - jerking videos and what's playing in the background? Emotional music. And videos depicting this ''siege mentality''. People ducking in their bunkers as armed-forces come barging in.
Resurrection videos with emotional music and such.
B. I. T. E. model, all those elements.
Steve Hassen has written 3 books about this as of 2012 which I'm aware of. Maybe he's written more by now.

""Beth am not familiar with B.I.T.E . What is this technique?
Jan ""
There is a cult expert in the USA with the name of Steven Hassan. When he was a young man he survived the Moonies cult,,,just a little about him.
Anyway,,,he is a cult expert who wrote 3 books. A little bit about the B. I. T. E. model. It is an acronym.
B - behavior conntrol
I - information control
T - Thought control
E - emotional control
Mr Hassan' studies on cults. He outlines perfectly you control group think by regulating cult members by controlling their behavior, information, thought and emotion by manipulating these 4 techniques by cult indoctrination. By what they watch, read, regulating sleep, regulating friends & through everything they do in life.

"JWs often try to justify their religion as being the only true religion. Questions like
Which other organization is doing this or that? Here is one from a JW. You may have others. "
That's one of the ''thought'' stopping techniques in the B. I. T. E. model. Thought - stopping techniques. We are right, everyone else is wrong and us vs. them.
One tool of the Borg's arsenal to shut-down people's thinking and questioning abilities. It disarms someone's ability to question and/or give a rebuttal to the Witness.

Prediction of Watchtower in a Few Years
by Foolednomore inkingdom halls will be the thing of the past.. conventions (mini assembly halls will still be going on) but will charge for attending and parking and always a donation.
elders will play a much smaller role since csa.
cart preaching will replace door to door.

Of course. Of course. My bad. Sam Herd on the G.B. recently outlined on one of his talks that ''any day now'' the great tribulation will be here ushering in the big 'A'.

""Since I left a few years ago now I have been told of things that went on in local congregations, some of it from members of my own family. Yet they portray themselves as being so unlike the outside world. ""
That's just the ingrained us vs.them mentality which they are conditioned to believe in. It's almost tragic.

""Disillusioned JW Most JWs are not gonna abandon watchtower. Many in organisation are born in. Whole family is in. Is like does that hade to flee destruction of Jerusalem. They hade to abandon friend's, Family and business. Most JWs are not gonna be capable of that. They don't even read their bible anymore. Just thing's that come from GB ""
All PIMOs understand or believe what GB says or does is 'gospel'. They listen to the GB more than follow or read their bibles.

This is perfect double - speak.
The claim Jehovah protects his people. But when violence happens to ''His'' people it proves the times we live in.
Cognitive dissonance kicks in.
