Why does the borg want everyone to snitch everyone out anyway when one of there favorite lines is "leave it in Jeh's hand,' or 'Jeh. will work it out?"

Scooby-Doo prey that smelled much better than Adam, a natural fear of man, Jeh, a big stick, angels, Adams superior intelligence and perfect senses (he could hear and smell stinky old bear coming for him), run fast, climb trees, I don't know, all of the above.

Rvalich, absolutely correct! I've said in other posts that if you believe creation it was Jehovah that created 'violence.' The natural creation around us is more violent than a war zone. It's the food chain, and even a animal at the top of the food chain survives only as long as they stay strong, then they are killed or starve. I never believed when I was 'in' that in the paradise predator and prey would live in peace. For that to happen the whole animal creation would have to be redesigned. Jeh designed it all, and don't forget all the scraficial blood spilled to please Jeh.

STOP being naive - the time has come to use your PRIMAL SENSES
by Dogpatch ina lot of us spend a great deal of time on this board and elsewhere discussing the intricate doctrines of the .
watch tower as if they were legitimate arguments from the bible.. one of these is the issue of blood and blood transfusion.. another is "who is the faithful and discreet slave?".
or "what is the definition of "generation" given in the bible, so we can prove the witnesses wrong?.

I believe the most effective tactic the borg uses is presenting BOTH sides to an issue in such a way that the unsuspecting or believing reader does not even think about questioning the accuracy of the opposing veiwpoint. When the duped reader is done with the article they put the mag done thinking that they researched or the borg researced that topic fully and the borg's conclusion is the only possible correct one. It would be like how the insurance companies advertise that they will 'compare rates' for you. They always say study, research, and meditate, their trick is that they print SO much that the witnesses think that going to the volumns, insight, or other Wat. publication is real research. Its not. The defense lawyer can't also be the prosecutor. They are masters at how they do that.

NeonMadman, we must be about the same age. I turned 18 in '71. I registratered, was 1-A. NEVER pioneered, but got brothers to write letters for me that I was involved and learning the ministry. I was notified that I would have a 'hearing.' Then the lottery came out, I think '71 was the first year for that. My # was high. 300+ Was reclassified 1-A-1. After that I never heard from the draft board again.

Just thinking back--paradise
by pontoon ini can remember i would always hear that borg was doing this or that in preparation for the paradise.
use to hear it a lot when kh's began to be built 'quickly.
' friends would tie that into how the borg could project manage all of the housing that would have to be built after big a. so, can you just imagine a paradise run and controlled by the same heavyweights that run the borg.

Friends would tie that into how the borg could project manage all of the housing that would have to be built after big A. So, can you just imagine a paradise run and controlled by the same heavyweights that run the borg. For EVERYBODY, wake up, dress up, eat, morning worship, read new scrolls, study with ressurected ones, change into work clothes but not jeans--they're not allowed, neither are tank tops or tees with writing on them, work on house and garden for some borg heavyweight because they will not dress down into work clothes, shower, dress up for noon meal, 45 min. pep talk and experiences, change into work clothes, back to work on GB house (still some of them around, they never seem to die out), shower, dress for supper, evening worship, fill out daily report slip, go to where you were assigned to build your house when your done with borg assignments, crawl into your tent and pass out thinking this is not what you thought it was going to be. Wake up and start all over again.

They Gotta Know They are Running a Cult - a Rant
by OnTheWayOut ini go back and forth on this one.
do the governing body members or some higher-ups behind the curtain of the wizard really know they are running a scam of a dangerous mind-control cult?
or are they victims of their own cult?

Do they know they are running.......... Good question, I wonder about that. I knew Lett when he was our CO, and goofy as he was I liked him, felt he was sincere and that's the way I remember him. Hard to believe he would not fully believe what they dish out to us. At the same time I think about the overlapping........ thing and I wonder 'How the hell can Lett believe that shit?' So I don't know. The delusion thing sounds plausable, especially the way some of them are so impressed with themselves, some of them any sign of humility is just for show, but the fact as mentioned earlier about them being in it so deep I would have to agree with. No way out so they just to continue to go with it.

Absolutely. If they built one near me I'd be the first on line to apply for a job. And by the way, hydro power is responsible for more deaths (thousands) than any other kind of power generation. Blown out dams have killed thousands. Agree nuclear plants should not be built on fault lines. They are located near large bodies of water so the cooling water doesn't have to be cooled and reused. They should re engineer that and build them inland and put the BTU's from that coolant to use. Using nuclear technology is what will make it better and safer.

No Part of The World Circuit Assembly Highlights
by DavinciCodeBreaker inwell this past weekend was pretty much as predicted, the demonstrations were probably the worst i have ever seen.
you know the ones i mentioned on a post last week where in the middle the participant has a sudden epiphany!
here is a sampling of just a few.. .

Mr. Falcon is right and reminded me about something. During an assembly did any one of you get to sit in the Chairman's Office? In my old circuit that can only happen by invitation from the CO (only, I think). Anyway, that is where circuit heavyweights sit to rate the speakers. Now the kicker is these guys think they are so special that they have catered meals brought in at circuit expense. They dine during the sessions and have glass bottles, containers, and glasses that the rest are not allowed to have. When I first saw that I felt guilty, even embarrased to partake. BUT mostly I felt disappointed in the character of those in the room. They even joke about their privilage. I didn't fit in and excused myself, felt like crap over seeing that whole thing. They really do think they are special.
