my daughter told me about last weeks service meeting part on facebook.... the brother doing the parts asked for a show of hands who had a facebook account.. apparently a number of elders did.. (she did not put up her hand...in fact recently deleted all jws off her friends because she doesnt want them to know anything about her life).

i thought that was a dirty trick to pull.. oz.

Me,

"What about Facebook accounts under assumed names, do those count?"

So me and my best friend were entering the KH and we noticed that there were only 2 portions of the HS left, and one was a little bigger than the other so being in front I picked the bigger one for myself. My friend then said "Hey, if I were to have chosen first, I would have

selected the smaller portion!" And then I said, "Okay, great then everything worked out the way we both wanted it to"

(Note: this didn't really happen, it's very similar to a joke)

Not sure if this has been mentioned, and of course I cannot prove this, BUT if I did want someones account shut down. I would have many people make donations to his account, possibly hundreds of seperate

instances with the intention to turns around and have them ALL reversed.

I would think that having dozens, hundreds possibly accounts complain and request a refund would set off a "flag" in their system to make it look like Steven Untank was doing something bogus.

Just a thought

i need to speak to anyone who is a mature christian.

someone who has maintained their faith in jehovah and in christ jesus.

i have felt that many things i have been taught are inconsistent for some time.

You do need to keep these thoughts under your hat.

Another good read is "Captives of a Concept" by Don Cameron. This book will explain all you need to know about the authority of the WTBTS

Stronger than Hypnosis

by Londo111 in

being the society is anti-hypnosis, i know very little about it.

but from what i've observed it often involves willing participants focusing their concentration, usually involving repetition, until the subject is in a state where suggestions can be implanted in their mind.

bite can involve hypnosis, but in many instances it may not.

I think that "Combatting Cult Mind Control" by Steven hassan touches on a hypnotic style indoctrination that uses long hours of boring non sense to get you into the state of mind that allows you to accept certain beliefs without questioning them.

Notice how all the new info comes out toward the end of a multi day District Convention or Circuit assembly? Also were we not told ( I cannot not remember) to not tell others that have not attended their own DC and CA anout any "new light"?

If so, it goes hand in hand with getting the mind prepped prior for non critical thinking just before releasing the info to the masses.

Also releasing the new info at this point at a DC or a CA, while inthe midst of SO MANY friends all clapping in agreement makes it easier to swallow as compared to hearing about any new light while alone without all the pre mind numbing days of previous talks.

They have had quite awhile to perfect these processes.

Leaving JW Tracts at the Funeral Visitation

by OnTheWayOut in

jw's cannot help themselves.

a couple who were very close friends with my wife and i when i was a jw had a few kids that grew up.

none of their kids remained jw despite their heavy activity while growing up.

Has anyone ever carried around some anti witness tracks, JWFACTS.com has a pdf of them, or something like this to "insert inside" any WT mags that they see laying around

hospitals, nursing homes, etc, etc.?

This would help innoculate anyone that might have a tendency to pick up a WT or Awake! !!
