during the massacre of many witnesses at a kingdom hall in germany the other night, where was jehovah's holy spirit ?
.
They also made people leaving the Borg as disassociating themselves voluntarily when falling out - of - line with JWBorg theology and/or rules.
Rather than disfellowshipping which is not in the Bible/nor scriptural,,,,the same result and punishment results in disassociating themselves. Probably to distance themselves from legal implications, of course. By making it sound as if so & so has left the Borg on his/her own accord voluntarily.
kingdom 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.
""Watchtower died off back in the 90s. ""
The WT $ociety never seen the internet age coming. It's often been said.
during the massacre of many witnesses at a kingdom hall in germany the other night, where was jehovah's holy spirit ?
.
""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.
jws often try to justify their religion as being the only true religion.

""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.

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.

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'.
as a jw, did you ever know of totally unchristian behavior ( boners) by some "fine" witnesses?
i know of more than my fair share and will reveal some.
an elder/pioneer kicked his elderly wife who had alzheimer's out.
""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.
