in today's wt study it makes the point that just glancing at the opposite sex is flirting and can lead to sex!.
so are jw's now to wear blinkers?.
also jw's are told to go and confess to the elders if they have any immoral thoughts?!!.
I think it all boils down to this:
Sex is a fundamental part of life for those sexually capable. Dictate the terms of this core need and they control the conscience of the "flock". Control the conscience and you have an important part of the mind control recipe in place.
so i ran into this brother whom ive known for a while and the conversation led into me being invited to come back to the kingdom hall.
we talked for about an hour during which time i explained to him 607 being the wrong date and a lot of other stuff including the child abuse cases in australia.
but what i wanted to relate was the last few minutes of our conversation.
John Aquila:
Excellent thread. It has not only provided us with a great topic of discussion, but also ultimately allowed for definitive conclusions to be reached. Thanks!
i just noticed recently that the carts have gone from outside the local station and i have noticed witnesses on the streets going door to door again.
anyone else observed this?
have the r&f decided carts don't work?
just a short observation from several in the congregation.
it's only hearsay because i do not go to meetings, and this is what i have been told.. the co wore tight pants in the ministry and on the platform.
as one sister said, "you could see everything".. but like i said its hearsay, i never saw it, but i did have a giggle..

justice mcclellen asked g.jackson about compensation for victims of child abuse , and mcclellan suggested it be by a consortium of groups , presumably religious and secular in nature as a pool to dispense approppiate compensation to all of the victims involved .. g.jackson hesitated and said they would have to look at the details of that proposal , before committing to it.. jehovah`s witnesses consider themselves as the only true religion and ,all others as false religion .. they take pains to separate themselves from from any association with other religions , not even being included in newspaper notices about church services.they want to keep themselves separate and distinct from false religion as they see them.. so how do you think they will handle this suggestion / requirement ?
will they join in aligning themselves with "babylon the great" in compensation .?.
didn`t they align themselves with another religion in the u.s.a. some years ago , that had to do with the w.t.
my jw spies tell me that the kingdom halls are empty compared to how they used to be, since i left 5 years ago.

punkofniceagoiggy bliss - I wonder how many that attend do so because it's a 'captive religion'?
A sizeable portion I would wager.
a gb helper was at the rc.
this guy was decked out.
fancy expensive suit and cuff-linked shirt, super fancy cuff-links.
If giving away material possessions is a qualification for the "one true religion", Catholic missionaries have definitely qualified the RCC. Puh-lease, give us a break with the self righteous bullshit.
