  Bribing the children to serve--by request!

  bribing the children to serve--by request!

  request from researcher: is it true that children in the early years of the watchtower society, were bribed into the field ministry work to make a profit to have money to spend?

  if this is true, would you know where i could find that information?

  Atlantis You're incredible! What a find, I had no idea!

  I'm also with Was a New Boy.By the time the 60s, 70s and 80s rolled around, the watchtower had honed it's cult indoctrination tactics to a fine degree. Kids basically suffered from Stockholm syndrome - over identifying with those keeping their young minds captive and so terrified of the consequences of not cooperating, bribery was not required!

  Ha! New Boy he admits he was bribed lol! I think the way watchtower 'gives up' on some countries ..can you imagine the apostles doing so?

  Son out?

  our son joined the wts 20 years ago.

  we, his parents and siblings are not jws.

  he is now 41. he knew we were "opposers" from the beginning, and so we were pretty much shunned by him.

  Tentatively I too offer my congratulations....it is possible a person can be POMI (physically out, mentally in) but it's unlikely such a person would describe their life as a "reset" and have warmed toward non JW family (as well as embracing the "natural" look lol😜).

  I wish your family all the best and recommend JWfacts.com for further information on the cult of Watchtower and how to help ex members (as well as this site of course!).

  How in hell can his numbers go up by 100 in just one night when he's

  A) on holiday

  B) Not in communication with his viewers or patrons

  Eejit definitely sat up all night creating email accounts to join his own Patreon on the free tier😂😂😂

  We'll call his free Patreon numbers his PatreCon🤓

  St. Helena is crawling with JWs. Something like one third of the population no?

  re-posting this for reference.. #1 protein functional redundancy comparing the sequences of amino acids in ubiquitous proteins confirms the relationship between all living things..

  #2 dna functional redundancy comparison of the dna that codes for the amino acids of ubiquitous proteins predicts the tree of life with an astonishing degree of accuracy..

  #3 ervs endogenous retroviruses that infected our ancestors are found in the same place of the genome of our closest primate cousins..

  Lloyd Evans Patreoff Pool - November 2023

  by DerekMoors in

  1. social
  2. humour

  let's get the fun started and put in our votes for how far down the pumpkin patch lord of the fries will fall in november.. for those keeping score, last month he started at 457 patrons, did some begging and managed to bump those numbers up to 478, but as of this writing he's down to 439.. so, how well do you think the grift will continue this month?

  let us know where you think he'll be on november 2. lucky number 420?

  will he drop back down below 400?

  Jehalepino He opened a free tier! Ugh

  😒Yup. You can still see there's 439 paid members currently. He's hoping people will accidently press paid membership and (like me) will automatically re route to pay Pal or similar.

  It's incredible in his recent between holiday message to his patrons he's literally telling them that not only will he dramatically drop the amount of content he produces (if that's possible already!) but that he intends to finish with Jehovahs Witness content altogether at some point!!! Yet still they pay! Can they get more brainwashed?!🤦🏻‍♀️

  Ron What does the 'free tier' actually give you??

  Nothing as far as I can see, except his messages (which I think I could see anyway). You don't even access the Discord server.

  Hailstones (2)

  2. friends

  with the change to reporting field service and now allowing people to repent during the gt, presumably up until armageddon, i'm assuming that the "hailstones" message is now permanently on hold.

  can someone explain this to me; am i understanding this right?.

  Surely they give the message....then comes the repenting??😬

  They Can't have it both ways..their old 'its too late' is not compatible with a last minute change of heart?
