None of those talks were on the "legitimate" list of talks. Once you reach the stellar heights of Dubdom you can spout off on any topic without any punitive action.

I wonder what their "Christ's Governing Body" would have to say about the dude advertizing Cleveland Sate University?

How entirely apt that they should advertize the show "V" - a show about people who ostensibly come in peace, but actually have sinister motives.

"Art, candles and an oriental rug were taken."
Art was found two hours later stating he was robbed of his dignity and freedom of speech. Police are looking for two men with ill-fitting, soiled suits that resemble GB members.

This will be the first one I will not attend. Last year was when I decided to do my fade - I was shocked that the focus on the FDS/GB. I was told it was a new outline, but by then I was not serving as an elder and had no clue if it was true or just the a bad job by an elder who is was a self appointed R&F basher.

Voyager & Others: Looks like this site has been overhauled. The instructions do not seem to match the site - am I missing something? I suspect some of the WTBS lurkers have influenced a clean up.

I'm truly sorry about "this generation" -- Jesus
by FatFreek 2005 ini now know that i didn't get it right the first time when i said ".
(matthew 24:34) "truly i say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.
" for that blunder i must apologize.. .

There was no confusion at all: First, look at the context: Jesus words in Matthew 24 were in response to three distinct, but connected questions posed at 24:3. I have always (even when I was an elder) personally held the belief that the generation mentioned in 24:34 was the 1st cent response to the 1st question posed in 24:3. I could never see how this could have a future application. After Jesus mentioned the destruction of the then Jewish systems at 24:2, 24:34 was fulfilled in 70 AD and so has no application today in anyone's life. I always have personally held and will continue to hold that understanding.
Jesus used "this" to refer to the generation in the present tense, if he was speaking of a future generation he would have used "there will be a generation that will not pass away" similar to other wording that pointed forward to great wars, upheaval, etc. Given that Jesus was a perfect man and understood our foibles, he would have been clear on helping his apostles to understand what he was saying. The prophecies when read with present and future tense make for easy reading.
The utilization of the “generation” by the WTBS was simply a mechanism to create two distinct classes, establish a hierarchy and then a controlling mechanism over rank and file. Jesus got it right, they got it wrong.

Hypnotic Language Patterning
by Simon Morley ini have not attended any meetings for three months but recently i was struck by a strange recollection of something common to most meetings i attended.
at every meeting, regardess of the time of day, frame of mind, secular workload, etc, i would feel i was being lulled into a numbing sleep.
it was not that the material was boring to me (i have attended many boring secular conferences and never experienced the strange effect that a meeting had on me).

I have not attended any meetings for three months but recently I was struck by a strange recollection of something common to most meetings I attended. At every meeting, regardess of the time of day, frame of mind, secular workload, etc, I would feel I was being lulled into a numbing sleep. It was not that the material was boring to me (I have attended many boring secular conferences and NEVER experienced the strange effect that a meeting had on me). It was not a feeling of daydreaming or dozing off - more that there was a cerebral disconnect and reruting taking place. It go to the point that I was aware of my surroundings but clearly something had taken root in my subconscious. I have never had similar numbing feeling since not going to meetings. I do not think this is deliberate (it is illegal to use outside a clinical setting) on behalf of the WTBS but I think the underlying effect is still the same. let me explain.
I started reading about conversational language patterns and the power it can yeild. While hypnosis is all about altering your states of consciousness, hypnotic language patterning (HLP) is about how you can alter states of consciousness through the use of language. Think of a typical meeting and note the outcomes of HLP:
- Learning hypnotic language patterns is about understanding how this process happens, how you can induce it in others at will and how you can use this to get them to where you want them to go.
- It is a way of bypassing objections and focusing on the real heart of the matter.
- One of the most common uses of hypnotic language patterns is to access specific emotions from the past and attach them to situations, experiences and things in the present or the future.
- Speak in a way that draws people in until they are hanging on every word you say.
- Capture and lead the imagination to the exact thoughts you want a person to think about.
- A sales person might want to bypass the usual sticking points like price and get you to access the joys of owning the product.
- A manager might want use this to get their team to focus on getting great results rather than their current problems.
- A parent might get their children to connect the fun and excitement of going out to play with doing homework.
- A teacher or trainer might use HLP Persuasion skills to ramp up the desire to learn the skills as a route to manage the amount of concentration and work involved in getting there.
If you think of the meetings are they really different? The midweek meeting covers a publication with the same message in different shades, the TMS covers the same points every week and the overseer rarely covers the points any differently from the previous week. The SM is a rehash of old topics in new forms. Sunday you get the same talks given over and over. While there is well over a hundred outlines, the topics can be easily categorized into handful of main points - then the WT is never really different. It is all Hypnotic Language Patterning. Look it up and see the similarities.
