Do you think Witnesses would drink the "Cool-Aid" if told to do so...like Jonestown?
by Witness 007 injonestown 1970's, jim jones brainwashed his 900 member cult into committing mass suicide by drinking cyanide cool-aid.
only three escaped.
{the smart ones} one man hid under a building....another escaped into the jungle while armed guards dragged another member to get injected by force.

When I used to go to the assemblys, the indoctrination was fresh and it seemed to strengthen the dubbies beliefs... If they had assembly's every day on a compound, where dubbies couldn't associate with ''normal'' people and they could only read dubbie books and could only talk about things the GB approved of then yes they would drink the koolaid.

Jonestown was very different from the GB... Jonestown was on a compound and they were indoctinated 24 hours of the day. Dubbies have two meetings a week and TOLD to do personal study but the majority probably don't. Many have doubts, but family ties keep them in.
But I do believe their are some that would give their lives if the GB ordered it. Take blood transfusions.... People have given their lives, the lives of their children because of not having blood... That's the GB koolaid.

I RESCUED A HUMAN TODAY by Janine Allen
Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her.
I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn’t be afraid. As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn’t want her to know that I hadn’t been walked today. Sometimes the overworked shelter keepers get too busy and I didn’t want her to think poorly of them.
... As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn’t feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone’s life.
She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well.
Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms.
I would promise to keep her safe.
I would promise to always be by her side.
I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes.
I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven’t walked the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save one.
I rescued a human today.Thought that was lovely and wanted to share.

I LUUUUUVVVVVVV CHRISTMAS!!!!! *Does a little xmas dance* I love the lights, the atmosphere, making pressies, wrapping up pressies, giving out pressies, recieving pressies, the xmas cards, the cold nights, the films, hot chocolate! Ooooooooh I just love it!
I like halloween because the kids all look like they are having fun. Plus hubby loves to terrify the kids with his scary werewolf mask! It is vile!
I love easter cause it all about chickens and bunnies!
I love Hannakah with my menorah, the dradle song and a little gift each night for the duration of it.
I dislike Valentines day cause it's all soppy and romantic! Carrot and Babysprout call me the ''Ice queen'' becuase I hate soppiness.

That was funny! Old people and technology is scary... I did love the fact that they had no clue as to what they were doing... It was sweet when the old guy was telling his wife how pretty her hair was... That was an ''awwwww'' moment.
