  What really happened around 1918 when WT leaders were imprisoned?

  i had never thought about this until just now when i saw that nathan natas posted some early tract from rutherford, and it made me think back to what little i could remember of the history i was taught.

  i now know that in most cases the dubs will spin stories in their favor.

  so i'm now assuming i was told some fictitious story about what happened when the leaders were thrown in prison and things looked bleak for the cult way back when.

  If the US Gov did nothing to them back then, the org may have just disappeared soon after.

  Just another quack religious leader that came and went. Alas :(

  i have a friend who got df'ed recently and he had a major role on a 5 min broadcasting film.

  the film was made before he got df'ed (obviously), so it wont be on air.

  as he told me it was to be on july or august program.

  The Label Of "Apostate" And It's Effects

  by pale.emperor in

  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.

  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.

  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.

  Sarah Huckabee Sanders, new member of the Governing Body

  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!!!!

  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.
