  Publisher ID - I Saw It In Person & It Was Terrifying!

  by thedepressedsoul in

  i'd like to start off this post by saying, we all know that the wt loves control.

  it's clear by their history, their wt's, the elder arrangement and so on.

  however, after witnessing and using the publish id program in person, it takes this need for control to a whole new level & it was scary.. if you've ever seen builder assist (the website program used for ldc volunteers) or the metro program, it actually looks pretty similar to that.

  But why? For what reason are they maintaining such a massive database?

  Do You Think Jehovah’s Witnesses Are A Threat To Any Government?

  russia believes they are a threat.

  the usa has put witnesses in jail in the past.

  other countries look at jws as a nuisance.. do you think the witnesses are a threat to governments?

  Not a threat in the least. The best they can do is be an innocuous annoyance in the public sense....on a personal level it is emotional and mental abuse...but victims allow that to occur unwittingly....

  the wtbts is not being given special room rates by 2 major hotels at the long beach convention center area for the upcoming 2020 regional conventions & wt is t'd off.

  letters are being read in surrounding circuits and congregations.

  apparently wt is afraid that other hotels are going to blackball them as well.. has anyone else heard this?

  If there an angle they can line their pockets, they'll find it and exploit it. And sniveling creeps make the lemmings think they're getting a deal. We always booked rooms wherever we wanted....one place in particular was banned but we stayed there anyway...subsequent years it was back in the list...we booked and got a lower rate than the WT rate as we were regulars. Then we quit conventions forever.

  this week's study ( no.

  here are some excerpts of a man who was called on by 2 young female jws, received a not-at-home letter as well, and what he thought about them.

  i encourage you to read the whole thing, it is worth the laugh.. "it wasn’t pompeo knocking but he would have beamed approval on the two young women on the doorstep.

  Good manners and respect for others is not part of the package. Its all about force feeding their own religious fallacies to anyone and everyone. Even when hostage in the cult I always abhorred that part of it....

  Out of sight, out of mind......it ain't necessarily so..we do have memories.

  Absence makes the heart grow fonder....it ain't necessarily so.....sometimes we forget them.....
