Dispensing food at the proper time worldwide in over 120 countries. . . . Just like McDonald's

This bunch is more out of touch than we can imagine. Equating the "progress" made by studying for 5 years with an adult to studying with a five year old. . . Clueless. . . .

Link to Golden Age 1925 prediction- primary evidence of JW cock-up on Archive.org

by Julia Orwell in

trying to convince a jw that the wt predicted 1925 is hard because they won't look at anything from 'apostate' sites.

but the american archive organisation is a disinterested organisation who publishes anything ever printed in america online for research and scholarship purposes.

they are not apostates because they publish all religious, political, judicial, legislative etc online for the public to research.

Signs of a Cult.. William Branham Cult

by tornapart in

this is very interesting, this guy was a cult member for 37 years.

replace 'william branham' for jw and you can see clearly what a cult really is.

he uses 10 points from steven hassan's book 'combatting cult mind control'.

If this guy was a medic in the Veitnam conflict I wonder if he saved more lives, or caused more deaths? He seems awfully opinionated and childishly simple minded.

I have my doubts that he was a medic. . . Maybe it makes him feel better to believe that.

Isn't there another thread discussing the veracity of his Nam narrative?

My brother says: Don't worry about 2052, we will be in paradise by then...

i was talking to my brother about a video that i saw about african genocide, and in the video this doctor that i listened to was saying based on his research he predicts that africans in different regions of africa will be scaled back by about 50% by the year 2052 (due to aids, food storages, etc).

my brother gave me a drive home from work and we were talking about this.

he said that we wont have to worry about that cause 2052 is never going to happen.

ADCMS - you also need to bold, italicize and underline the word FACT in the quote above.

This wasn't their idea. . . . Oh nooooooooo . . . This is a friggin' FACT

Tech49 on HOURS, TIME, and REPORTS

by Tech49 in

i thought i would share some of my observations on counting field service time, reports, etc.

and how those reports are viewed, to those that are still so fixated on numbers.. i served as secretary on the service committee for many years, and have seen it all!.

i was really disheartened when wt changed the requirement for aux pioneering to allow for 30 hrs, instead of the 50 it has been for so long.

breakfast of champions

Yeah, those experiences sound about right! Thanks for sharing.

What I learned as I was on my way out was that field service (and by extention pioneering at any hour level) has really nothing to do with anything but commitment. I read Festinger's "When Prophecy Fails" and learned that people who make the largest commitments to a cult (leave jobs, school) are the ones who end up staying in when the proverbial shit hits the prophetic fan. Thus, the society's 30 hour plan makes sense from this perspective. It certainly will not lead to any real "growth"

Festinger was a social psychologist who coined the term "cognitive dissonance" Some interesting reading if you get the chance.

I remember the feeling I had after I had done my research and finally realized "This is it. It's just us and probably no one else." It literally felt as if the world turned upside down; but it was such a relief compared to the junk I had pummeled into my brain since I was five years old. It's not for the faint hearted, but everyone should have at least the chance to thoroughly examine and challenge their beliefs, and question what they know and how they know it.
