  Paranoia after today's Watchtower

  boy oh boy did i feel paranoid at today's wt.

  not only are we to watch our associations outside of the congregation, but also watch our associations 'within' the congregation.

  this was emphasised by the wt study conductor.

  I forgot to mention that the JW's probably have 2 levels of shunning. The first one is pre-emptive shunning, when you aren't DF'd yet, but you are treated like one in public or anywhere where the Dubs snub you avoid making eye contact etc. The 2nd level is the full blown Borg enforced DF'd induced shunning. Now this is when every J-Dub alive, including your family who is not living in your house, will ignore you.

  Is it the Elders in your cong or from the borg

  i'm just wondering, i read on another thread that as a unwritten rule ivf is a no no.

  i've never heard this, so it got me thinking about other things like getting sterilised i've heard differing views on this.

  some say it's fine others say the society say's no.. what about circumcision, in the u.k. & oz it's not so big (excuse the pun) but i watched a doco that said it was a big deal in america & most men have it done.

  Definitely Borg mind control with the elders as henchmen to enforce the tough rules.

  You need to marry a ministerial Servant!

  a single sister in her 40s and her two single daughters were visiting my mom.

  i would say her daughters are in their early 20s.

  my mom got sleepy and we put her to bed but the three sisters stayed to finish their drinks..

  I'd say it' all part of a control mechanism to keep up with the over-righteous Borg mentality about saying only to marry an MS. Some of those MS can be the biggest douchebags. Whereas some of the non-MS brother are the ''kindest, loving'' people as mentioned earlier. Pathetic and sad, yes to say the least.

  How Cultish are the JW's?

  by xjwsrock in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  first off, i certainly agree the jw's are a cult.

  but i'm sensitive to black-and-white thinking now.. so, where do they rank on the scale?

  think of a cultish religion scale from 0-10.. consider the likes of unitarian universalism vs baptist vs amish vs charles manson.. where do you think jw's fall on the scale?.

  The JW's are told to;

  who they can love, who they can associate with, what they can wear, abstain from life-saving medical treatment with blood, how to spend their time, not to celebrate ANY holidays, what to watch for entertainment.....I don't know but nothing sounds more like a ''cult'' to me. I have to say right up on the scale around 8 or 9.

  Seems that they bring up these studies occasionally when they sense some ''dissention'' talkers within the Borg.

  Let us not forget the Borg has billions of dollars worth in property/assets at their disposal.

  Apostasy and Pedophile Scandal are Spreading

  so here's an interesting thing that happened lately.

  if you guys have followed my previous posts, you probably know my mother almost died from severe anemia, decided to take blood transfusions to avoid death and the elders announced the congregation she disassociated.

  last week a "brother" came to visit from a congo about 100 kilometers away.

  It IS emotional abuse. This is Control-Freakery 101

  And you can add information-control 101 in a way too.

  True, this Regional Commission investigation will trickle down to the rank and file. But the vas majority of the rank and file still have no clue what's happened, or about to happen. The far majority wouldn't even venture to navigate any sites like these. I could be wrong however.

  The Witnesses don't pray to Jesus. Their channel to God is the WBTS, it seems.
