Secret Elders Book? Bwahahaha!

by NotFormer in

i remember a couple of decades ago when the internet was relatively young and the wt was at war with it, that they were battling to keep the pay attention book secret, commencing legal action against anyone who published it online (and of course, trying to out anyone who leaked it).

i think it was a norwegian skeptics organisation who had it available for download and dared the wt lawyers to come after them.. so i guess the new shepherd the flock book came out to try and put the genie back in the bottle and reassert some air of mystery and secrecy back into the equation.. so i typed jehovah's witnesses secret elder book into google.

colour me gobsmacked!

I remember reading a story posted here about some elderly loyalist sister who was incensed that the ARC even had a copy.

Martin Armstrong's latest book, 'The Plot to Seize Russia'

by was a new boy in

the 2015 documentary - 'the forecaster' was basically banned in usa.

so martin leased a movie theater in cherry hill nj and showed it himself.. 'a german tv station funded the 2015 documentary on me entitled the forecaster.

because it raised some of these issues back then, the film was banned in the united states as well as switzerland...'.

In fact, when you think about, running a religion like a business is par for the course for a religion started in a country that was, for all intents and purposes, created by businessmen, for businessmen.

In America, pretty much everything is run like a business; it’s so ingrained, it wouldn’t even occur to them not to; they do it without even realizing.

Therefore, as I said before, all those actions are on the table…

…even for religions…

…because in the US, religions are businesses.

Re. Sea Breeze‘s post…

Hard to argue with.

Corporations are, first and foremost, businesses, and all businesses try to maximize profit whilst minimizing deficit.

Therefore, activities like that will always be on the table, because that is what they are specifically designed to do (as long as they’re not done so egregiously that the exposure spoils it for everyone else).

Did The Australian Royal Commission Actually Achieve Anything?

by NotFormer in

i've been going through past threads on here during the period i was not very interested in what was going on in jw world.

the australian royal commission era caused a great deal of excitement and inspired some hope, but did any good come of it?.

the 2 witness rule in child sexual assault cases still exists, and elders still don't call the police and try to handle things in house.

Exposure.

Embarassment.

And their grudging concession to the redress scheme reveals that, when backed into a corner, the Org will show its throat to “Satan’s World” to keep its tax-exemption…

…strongly suggesting that they really need it.

And that is useful intel.

Sorry, but I can’t think of any way that you can spin “paying back Caesars things to Caesar” as persecution, and have anyone with half a brain take it seriously.
