  steven hassan isn't always appreciated in the field of exit-counseling from cults.

  since his third book came out, dr. cathleen mann wrote a somewhat harsh review of it that i felt necessary to respond to.

  Cats and Dogs should not be spayed or neutered!

  by IMHO in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a controversial subject that hasn't been talked about here for 10 years (or so it seems on my quick search).. .

  i think it's wrong to spay or neuter.

  i bet most of you will disagree.. my vet just called me an irresponsible owner for refusing to have my cat spayed..

  Views on handing out literature during field service

  by Joey Jo-Jo in

  it is brought to my attention that some non jw's deliberately accept jw literature just to throw it in the bin.. their intentions are perceived as positive meaning these non jw's throwing their magazines away is a good thing.. what is your view on the matter?.

  should they accept or not accept their literature, and why?.

  is accepting literature benefiting or damaging the cult, and why?.

  Blondie - I read I think in CoC or ISoCF that the production costs for a mag cost way less than what jw's think they cost, so you and elderelite are suggesting that the WB&TS may be making a loss, does anyone have evidence to support this?

  Thank you all who responded.

  The last question has two parts so let me point them out, one aspect is the communication and the other is the money involved. So putting it in context would be - Would there be a loss of revenue due to a decrease in supply? Let's say many change their mind and don't want mags. the printing press now produces less magazines and the slaves pay less for magazines due to the decrease in supply (less hand out's of watchtower literature).-

  fakesmile wrote last question. it could go either way. accepting litteratrash makes their numbers look good. printing is done by slaves with tax free equipment. but declining it makes #s look worse and they can use that to backup the "time is here" claim. so eh. no loss of revenue either way unless the #s get them a better gubment subsidy. just my opinion. my deadlock involved junking books having not read some of it and knowing where it belongs.

  Thank you.

  Great thanks, what about my last question? - Is accepting literature benefiting or damaging the cult, and why? - I should rephrase this question to - i s accepting literature financially benefiting or damaging the cult, and why?

  Let's Discuss Ray Franz's Books

  by Recovery in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been repeatedly pleaded with to read the books of ray franz in my short stay on this board.

  apparently these are all the all-powerful, wt crushing arguments, that lead so many to leave jw's and become ruthless opposers of god's people.

  we can discuss any claims/statements/scriptural arguments presented in either of his books, as long as it somehow proves jehovah's witnesses are not god's people.

  thanks flipper, I have not read this book, I was bit disapointed that his last two books were similar, what I read from your first post sounds all too familiar, does Hassan's book had anything new? Does he say anything more about his personal beliefs with Judaism?
