DesirousOfChange - I have gone back and forth on that for the last few years. We may never really know.
Either way, they are a group of assholes who at least know they are BENDING the already noodle like scriptures to their own advantage.
in my psychology studies we've been examining the use of "labels" and how they influence peoples behaviour.
i sometimes wonder if the gb or their helpers know exactly what they're doing when it comes to psychological manipulation.. it's been observed that by labeling someone or something it changes your entire perception of that person or thing.
it colours it entirely, quite unfairly in some cases.

i remember when that came out, my mother didn't catch it in the original article in the wt.
it was in one of the review "do you remember" thingies that she caught it.
she asked me if it means what she thought it meant.
JRK - its the same reason why someone at the Craps Table keeps betting when they have lost a ton.
So much invested, you HAVE to belive its real and you gonna win this time.
the woman has been deflecting the orange one's lies for quite sometime now as we all know, but after hearing her doing the same about the staff member who dissed mccain, i say she's an excellent candidate for the governing body, "nothing ever happened, we didn't say that, yes the number of 144,000 is growing every year and we accept that".
i mean, why look elsewhere, she would fit in perfectly.. btw, that's also what i say with all the drumpf supporters that show up at his rallies he holds whenever his sensitive, deflated ego needs a boost.
they cheer and rave just like the blind followers do at the circuit assemblies, they would make excellent jws, they have no problem buying into bullshit without putting any thought into anything that's being said..
By the way - calling someone who lives under a Tanning Light or overuses tan-in-a-bottle Orange - IS NOT RACIST.
Anyone who makes a connection between that and the MILLIONS fo OPENLY Racists comments about our last LIterate President is probably a RACIST at heart.
Right-wing hypocrisy again.
YOU GO ShirleyW!!!!

ShirleyW - You are RIGHT ON! Sanders is OVER qualified in the area of lying with a straight face.
just wanted to say a quick hello.
this was a pic yesterday on nurses week at henry ford with one of izabella’s primaries.

WONDERFUL!!!!! All the best, enjoy!

DesirousOfChange - I don't really agree with what you say though it sounds reasonable.
It would presuppose that all the GB for decades knows that the religion is BS, and they are running a global scam.
I think they are all true believers and are victims of victims, and are following a pretty well-established pattern set by many religions.

sir82 - I think your right about the GB - it is the conclusion I came to.
My favorite "apostate" talk said this "they work in satan's kitchen making ecoli burgers" meaning deadly burgers.
A great example of a Hack of a speaker who thinks he is clever and witty.
p.s. if you properly cook an ecoli burger - it is perfectly safe to eat.
But who cares about accuracy.
in this midweek meeting the local needs was a booooring speech about the new brochure on donations.
the wt must think the jws are dying to know how to give their money.. well, it's not new this is disgusting but this time, after i ve been slightly hinting people here and there for a year about the 'abnormal request of money' and remind them that 'the faithful slave wasn't like that until some time ago', this time i saw their faces.
they did get bothered with that talk.
There is no such brochure on the website - is it something that is coming?
Are you sure thats what it was about? Seems strange?
i searched up jw rules, and things that can get them into trouble with the congregation.
if i remember correctly there is 100 rules.
i already assume these rules are taught regularly or "preached" and stating why they are against god therefore followers obey, or try to obey.
FWI - Basically the only reason for getting DFed is suposed to be NON REPENTANCE, or actions that display NON REPENTANCE.
4 people were hurt by the dog ... 2 were jws.
the older woman was severely hurt.
i hope the old woman survives.
Simon - I have seen what those dogs CAN do to a person.
It is horrible!!! I agree with you 100%.
