I don't usually agree with the supposedly subliminal images, being willing to give the benefit of the doubt and ascribe it to sloppy artistry and printing methods. But this one is blatantly obvious. I would say some mischievous person in the art department drew it and nobody noticed at the time.

What is the current Watchtower "rent charge per publisher" for Kingdom Halls in the USA???
by Balaamsass2 ini was following a few threads in reddit from current pimo jws complaining about local announcements regarding halls being short on their per publisher "rent payments".
third gen and i have been out pomo for a while...so how much is this charge now?
could this be part of the recent push to get people to "come back" or get re-instated...if it even is online and 15 minutes of service per month?

New GB member Judy Jedele critizing Job's "humility" while wearing $20,000 Rolex, gold cuff links, coloured suit. Incredible!
by WingCommander ini swear, you can't make this shit up!
for years and years growing up in this cult, i had to constantly hear from my parents, from the stage, in the literature, about "keeping your eye simple", not being "materialistic", not "having a showy display of one's wealth.
" of course, this never seemed to apply to the wealthy business owning elduhzzzz who ran and lorded it out over the congregations, but i digress.

Wow Vhoven,
How Malefant can make those statements and not see the contradictions is beyond me. Families don't talk to each other because of... 'WT policies of disfellowshipping' is what he should say.

When JW's say they are 'In the truth'...
by Ron.W. inwhere did this phrase 'in the truth' come from?.
it's been around as long as i can remember.
is it from the time they were promoting 'the truth shall make you free' book back in 1943?

I seem to recall that Ray Franz addressed this question in one of his books. I think he said that it came from the Russell-era's interpretation of 'present truth' which was specific wording in a Bible verse from the King James. 'Stand fast in present truth'.

144,000 + 1 kings
by moomanchu ini wonder why so many kings are needed for the millennial reign?
the almighty governing body says 24,000,000,000 people combined from those resurrected and the survivors of the big 'a' could make it into paradise.
that gives you 1 king for every 166,665 persons.

I'm with Blondie on this one. Understanding the WT beliefs means knowing the history of the beliefs, how they have evolved, and what influenced those evolutionary changes. Just looking at the current teachings and how they don't make sense is missing the overall understanding that comes with knowing the history.

Characteristics of a Cult - Heaven's Gate
by dropoffyourkeylee inchacteristics of a cult - by my count, wt ticks 9 of the 12 boxes.
last night i watched a really interesting video (link below) put out by an ex-mormon site discussing the heaven's gate cult.
the person interviewed had a unique perspective in that he had firsthand contact with that group, specifically the house they lived in and the aftermath.

CHACTERISTICS OF A CULT - by my count, WT ticks 9 of the 12 boxes
Last night I watched a really interesting video (link below) put out by an ex-Mormon site discussing the Heaven's Gate Cult. The person interviewed had a unique perspective in that he had firsthand contact with that group, specifically the house they lived in and the aftermath. Steven Hassan is mentioned several times, as well as the JWs at least once. The video is rather long, but well worth viewing for anyone interested in cults and where the JWs may lie on the cult spectrum.
