  How the Society can change anything they want

  it's been a long time since i last posted here.

  however in light of recent changes i have thought a bit about things and have come to the conclusion that the society might.

  .. use the "evil slave" argument.

  Because the $heeples are under mind control.

  And as long as the Borg can do that,,the society can make them believe anything.

  I agree 100% with the others on this thread.

  Um,, its not for the benefit of the relative of a friend or family.

  Its what's at stake for the Borg.

  People's lives and feelings take a back seat and are an afterthought.

  " no apology is necessary"

  Remember?

  But then again NOT everyone out ''there" wants to like you either or befriend you either.

  The jws claim that there is this international " Christian brother hood". Not really so,,,its by their actions. Shunning policy,,, cliqueyness. You know what I mean. The same things exist out "there" too.

  Making friends takes courage,. effort and time.

  Please be patient. It will happen. It takes time.

  Plan ahead. Plan & plan!!!

  Plan. Plan. Plan. Plan,,, plan & plan.

  Reach out to workmates,, neighbors. Go to a gym hang out with people at random at the shopping mall. Go to Starbucks!!

  Sometimes,,, to have friends ,, you have to reach out and be a "friend".

  I know., especially those who are born on the borg may lack social skills. But just socialize with neighbors or workmates. Spontaneous conversations,,friendships. Find a common ground & go from there.

  Assembly with the branch representative

  by LaFrancia in

  2. experiences

  we had the meeting with the branch representative this weekend.. the air was different than usual.. bearded ushers at the parking lots welcomed the brothers warmly.. lots of sisters with dress pants or not, nothing scandalous.. the representative of the italian branch made his debut on stage with his full beard.. location: roseto degli abruzzi (italy-europe).

  some interesting statistical data can give a little food for thought after the numerous changes that have occurred in recent months (the ten-year or five-year plan, if you prefer, seems to be producing some small results).. attendance has increased since the last meeting.. our constituency includes 1725 publishers and those present in the morning were 1553, a little better than the november 2023 convention.

  perhaps the new changes have brought some back to attendance?.

  Now.

  We can truly see why the Borg hates 'education' so much.

  I can say with 100% conviction that the Borg can never scrap these 3 harmful policies.

  1) blood policy

  2) shunning policy

  3) two witnesses rule

  Should the Borg remove any of these three completely,,,, the Borg collapses in unto itself.

  The shunning policy,,we might see a 'softening' of the stance. Like only 'greeting' people. The shunning policy is the Borgs "teeth" or "bite" in a way to control people.

  When it comes to their failed prophecies,, they can just erase things and claim "we never said that".

  Thats why its so vital for people to retain old literature. ie) the Finished Mystery.

  There was a directive a few years ago for people to return "old literature" to the KHs. To be destroyed,, because they got caught.

  I do believe that the Borg has a tiger by the tail when it comes to their blood doctrine..

  They are bound to the hip with it.

  If they ever remove it,,, they will be sued out of existence.
