  Literature Carts are Really a Vast Spy Network

  by HiddenPimo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am not sure if this is getting into the tin foil hat arena, but what if one of the reasons for the carts is to spy out who is leading a double life and to catch the pimo's?

  they are everywhere in common public areas.

  like the stasi of e. germany.. i know i may be reaching, but we all know the way zealous j dubs love to rat out anyone who steps out of line.. they can't be there to place literature, because no one is taking it.

  That would be even more inefficient than the intended results of cart witnessing.

  just wondering if anyone has ever posted their personal information and have proof that the borg is watching and sent the gestapo to get them?.

  i will be announcing my resignation and da myself - and i am objectively looking at either doing it bud dwyer (not really like him but by extension) style at a meeting or an email blast or just giving a letter to the boe?.

  any advice is appreciated.

  The Bud Dwyer story is so sad. If you don't know about what Bud Dwyer did, you should read about it, don't watch the video... I believe he was framed by his fellow politicians and took the only course he saw to escape and provide for his family.

  It would be interesting to out yourself online and see what happens. Would the Elders come out and say how they came to know your position? Hmmm...

  I used to do something similar with the WT cd-rom, all my talks were built using copy and paste. The intro and conclusion were mine, but the rest was... Lego.

  So based on the Montana judgment this sale might cover the next three cases...

  yup.

  a while back i came across someone whom i'd been at school with back in the late 50's.

  it was an all-boys school, quite tough, with the accent on games and machinery skills.

  a european jehovah's witness, who served in an important branch, has sent me the following rumor.. some serious sources are mentioned.

  it clearly shake my perspective of what is going to happen in the coming months.. i'm totally shocked !.

  the law firm managing all the interests of the wt has studied the problem in europe on data protection and actions on files and protocols of child abuse.

  When I was an elder I was always concerned about personal liability in a csa case. I even asked the other elders and PO if we should purchase liability insurance. They laughed at me and said "No, the WT legal department will handle that." Will the WT pay the fines for the elders in the recent cases?

  It also troubled me I was able to know who the abusers are and protect my own children but the rest of the congregation would not have this knowledge. I would look around the KH and see all the families and think how dangerous this is...
