this is a follow-up from the recent thread from adjustments, addressing the mind control and manipulation the wts uses to threaten the jw's into unquestioning submission.. is there any statemtent they could make, that people would not question?
honestly, if you read their study articles, it is unbelievable what the people will listen to, swallow as "truth," and then regurgitate to others, as if it has always been their belief.
we visited a local kh for the september 8 & 15 lessons on new light.
Well, I bet if they called off the whole "this generation will not die"
thing, and pushed it way out to sometime in the future ....maybe
changing it to being "two generations"...well ...that wou l d j u s t ... oh wait....
they already did that! S!it!!!

I think honestly, that if they were primed a bit more & told to
litterally drink the cool-aid ... 60% would!

the 'dubs' came by today just as the wife and i were on the way out.
we chatted a few moments and the two guys wanted to know if i had any questions about the bible.
so i asked them to drop by in a day or two and they left me with two thin magazines and a book they jokingly referred to as "the gold nugget.".
Cold Steel ...great post! In my view, a very immature
view for sure! How convenient for them. He didn't show,
so right away ... "oh yes he did come .....but invisabley!!" LOL
A child makes up complex stories of
invisable friends too.... & they can almost convince you
that it is all true.
Wow ...how dumb is that!

the recent wt states : if you don't follow, obey and listen to every word we say, and decide to change on a whim, you will be dfed and not allowed to see your family and friends!!!
we dont care if we are wrong because we will just say the light is getting brighter and not apologize, and if you don't think the light is getting brighter you will be dfed, even if it comes out years later that you were right and we were wrong you will still be dfed!!!
that's because we are just evil men not inspired by god but inspired by our own selfish hearts!!!
Hey that was pretty good! Keep posting...
tell us about yourself ...don't post things that
could 'out' you tho.
it was a pleasure to interview our own katewild about her experiences and her recent audio recording with the elders.
the link is below:.

"You said that the first time" I heard the elder say!
Why do they harp on your words? ... because they are
trying to shame you, trying to shut you up!
Trying to make you feel like a child who is whining!!
They did the same with those long time witnesses, who
dared to speak out with their impatience in April 2010.
2010 when many of us knew we were going to die ......because
now, "this generation", was abruptly changed to "overlapping generations!"
Complainers! ...they said, just like those Israelites....murmerers!
Why ...because they wanted to shame us & shut us up!
They didn't stop you Sam.... nice going. I feel sorry for any of those fellas
who get in your way now. Now you have real truth, & critical thinking!

my mother had a wild hair one day and decided to study with the jw's.
so after being a catholic for my first 12 years we were now apostates............ though neither she nor i realized it at the time.. i think what appealed to my mother was that the two sisters she studied with were very 'refined' they were also nicely dressed and very 'clean'.
i had no idea what the hell she was talking about.
looking forward to hearing more of your adventures!
Love your writing style.

1984 and big motherby randall wattersno one thought much of the book when it was first published in 1949, nor, in fact, did it stir much attention for a number of years thereafter.
in the last two decades, however, the book1984 by george orwell has drawn a much greater reading audience.
orwell portrays a society brainwashed by political ideologies to the point where they are intolerant of any other mindset.
Thanks for posting this amazing expose by Randy Watters!
We owe a lot to the men & women who have laboured for years
to reveal what has been going on within watchtower!

i saw this mentioned in a post.
i thought it deserved a thread of its own.
i liked how this article reasoned with the reader how a religion can cross over into cult territory very quickly.. "the harm stems from a system that shuns and ostracizes adherents that don't accept their exclusive claims to truth.
thanks ... I understand exactly what she was saying,
but hate the fact that I do!
first i made love to my wife, maybe i'm better in bed then i thought, because about an hour after that my wife comes back in and i'm sitting at my desk and i asked her, "when the elders df me are you going to leave me, spiritual endangerment and all" she said, no, i don't feel endangered and we talked awhile and i talked about da ing and not sure what to do, then i shared with her a toned down version of the da letter that i posted and that led to her asking about my beliefs and understandings of who the great crowd and 144k, heaven and earthly hopes.
i was even able to tell her how they changed or distorted the meaning of the word naos to show the great crowd not in heaven.
i was able to show her some of the scriptures from the da letter, able to tell her a little about 1914 and how jesus did'nt invisably come in a presence, showing her scriptures on that and some more ttatt.
Nice going!....good for you
