  Unanswered prayers are a clear indication that, not only does God exist, but that he is also telling you to "suck it up, you whiny little bitch".

  The secret of how Christianity spread across the world

  by Terry in

  what i am going to say may sound nasty and mean-spirited.

  i assure you it is not intended in that tone.. men are power seekers and control freaks.

  without using women as drones to do the grunt work of religion.

  Good post, Terry, but I am not certain I completely agree with your take on women's role, but the virus part reminded me of this video . . .

  i am indebted to marvin shilmer for the info, on his excellent site.. link .http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2011/03/malawi-savage-betrayal-by-watchtower.html.

  i was so pleased to see the actual cards that caused all the trouble, after wanting to see it for so long, that i post it today.. first, the background in case anybody does not know the terrible events that happened.

  in the late 1960's to early 1970's jehovah's witnesses were cruelly persecuted and subjected to the worst possible beatings, rape torture and death.

  I live in Southern California. I've felt some real attention-getters. It's very surreal and bit unsettling to feel the ground beneath you suddenly turn into a Tilta-Whirl. I'm quite use to it, however, and conditioned to follow the recommended safety protocols as soon as I feel a quake starting.

  pdf essay on cult recruitment techniques on the www (jws receive mention).

  the essay is written from the point of view of social psychology research, and looks at various methods and known social influence principles used by "new religious movements" (or nrms) in recruitment practices.. four basic principles of social influence that are described in this essay include:.

  liking: if the subject "likes" the people who are presenting the information to them, they are more apt to be influenced toward accepting the group the recruiters represent.

  jwfacts: I am in sales and the techniques are well worn sales techniques.

  

  I, too was in direct sales. Not an order-taker, but the real kind; cold calls, sales presentations, the whole bit. While going through sales training I could not help but see a relationship with the “teaching” techniques I had learned with my lifelong attendance and participation in the TheocraticMinistrySchool. And that is exactly what the TMS is; a sales training class in which JW’s learn and practice techniques for peddling WTBTS publications. Sales training in the secular world helped to open my eyes to what I was actually participating in as a JW.

  Issuing a challenge to Jehvoah's Witnesses everywhere

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  now is the time (to quote an old kingdom song)..... to challenge jw's everywhere who are pointing to the "difficult times hard to deal with" in the news around the world.

  and declaring armageddon is absolutely, positively nigh.. for one thing, they always point to something somewhere, don't they?.

  and whatever it is---absolutely means time is short.. but, it is the usual nonsense, bullshit, poppycock over-statement, exaggeration and hype.. call them on it this time!.

  Crying Wolf is not Christianity's purpose.

  Maybe not its purpose, but definitely its nature.

  The assertion of God, sin, Satan, and salvation is the biggest, longest, loudest cry/lie that was ever contrived and then bellowed. The WTBTS has just repackaged the lie in order to stand out by way of contrast to other religions, just as the Is Ra El-ites did with polytheism back in the good old days. The WTBTS yelps to get those predisposed to buying their particular brand of delusion to peddle their publications and create Dystopia.

  Let us control you, do as we say, believe as we tell you or God will destroy you, send you to hell, destroy you at Armageddon, make you wait prolonged periods of time in the DMV line.
