i heard the crap, smurfs were magical evil creatures.
i saw in the 80s kids parents get talked to because of the kids having one or pjs with smurfs on them but other than the urban meme where did this come from?
was there anything printed about it?
Hey, COs and elduhs have given talks about other TV shows and films (i.e., The Munsters, Dream Of Jeannie, The Addams Family, various Hanna-Barbera cartoons, Star Trek, Star Wars, Marvel and DC superhero flicks, etc.).
Anything and everything, so that the GB could still control the minds of JDub children and their parents; plus since these films cost $$$$ to see in the theatres and/or buy in DVD, the H8teful Eight want these funds to go into their pockets instead!
my little bethel bird has whispered in my ear some encouraging news.
it has been reported to the canadian branch that some witnesses doing cart work had police stop them from carting in public parks.
the direction sent to the southern ontario congregations is to cease carting until further notice.. this is no joke.. have a jw-free day..
LMS=> I was told that in NYC and NJ, there are not many carts stationed (whether these are at street corners, parks, college campuses, etc.). However, my sources told me that they have seen JDubs doing short street work stints (holding small tracts, no tables or other devices and covertly offering these to passersby).
since i woke up and left i've been contacted by others i knew from my youth who've also left the cult.
also people around the world on facebook adding me out of the blue because we have mutual friends and they occasionally ask me stuff or share their story.. what i've noticed in the vast majority of cases, is that people are waking up not because of the arc or doctrine but apathy.
active jws are becoming less and less interested, less and less bothered.
TOMO=> He mentioned within a talk a while back that he "can't wait to destroy/annihilate the wicked and anyone else who is not worshiping Jehovah". (He actually meant worshiping HIM!) Also, he was proudly giving an illustration re: the bodies destroyed at the Big A "will smell like very burnt hot dogs". Yes, he really is a very arrogant and hateful man--who only wants our $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!
there was a french language congregation this weekend in congo dr which had 44,000 in attendance and something like 730 baptized.
i'm not saying that is good or bad, just reporting the news..
Either that number represents a vast amount of born-ins or--someone in WT is lying!
another "gem" from the convention.
there's a talk about remaining neutral.
one of the topics they say jw's should avoid is the topic of "peoples lives matter" which is barely veiled code for black lives matter.
The GB is actually selfish and racist themselves; they want all of the focus on them--so that any and all $$$$ are to be given to them and them only (not for any cause or movement).
i was thinking about how the borg screws up and sexually neuters their flock by telling them when single to "deaden their body" and then boom as soon as there's a ring on the finger to not be denying eachother.. do any of you know of jws who have been screwed up by these teachings?
i know 2, 1 elder came back from honeymoon having a nervous breakdown unable to cope with the cd that sex produced in his head.
and the other called up her parents while on honeymoon, crying and begging for themto come and get her, since she was so shocked that sex hurt.
There was a rumor a few years ago that WT was telling Bethel couples (and local congregation couples received this rumor, too) that "it would be good to pray to Jehovah right before having intercourse". This was really shocking that the GB has mind-controlled the masses to think that married couples couldn't even have any privacy with each other in their own relationship!

any thoughts?.
LV101=> Although the GB doesn't have anything but videos for indoctrination purposes of these characters, individual R&Fs have marketed merchandise regarding the above (as shown in the links below):

{These PIMIs probably figure that since the GB have been "successful" in promoting these characters for conversion, why not they themselves get to do the same--plus make a profit while they are at it, too.}

blownaway=> LMFAO!
But on a serious note, I could empathize with the posters of that other forum as well. The GB is also only concerned about those fictional cartoon characters because they are used to convert and indoctrinate the minds of young children to become STEPFORDKIDS for this corporation.

i regret following the wrong goals when i was a young person.
such as?such as spending a hundred hours a month of my precious youth rapping my unwrinkled knuckles on doors and waving soon-to-be-obsolete religious messages in front of aghast householders.such as spending my 20th, 21st, and part of my 22nd years in prison imagining anything useful was happening or that i was pleasing the big guy in the sky.such as taking a crappy job as a janitor and trying to support my family on beans and rice while i peddled cult materials, arguing with people who were better educated about fantasy scenarios i was brainwashed into parroting.such as making excuses for my depressing existence for my empty feeling of constant depression by consoling myself that soon billions of people would be annihilated--except for me and those i was able to convince to waste their time too.thanks, watchtower for twenty years of dry rot for my brain, a jehovah sized hole in my heart, and a great big "thank you" in the form of shunning from all my wonderful spiritual brothers and sisters for all my efforts.sure am i glad i didn't "waste" my youth on education, career, lifelong friends, and (gasp) fun!i was 12 years old when i was introduced to the watchtower and the kingdom hall.23 years later, i walked out a free man.the emotional damage took decades to reconcile.i'm 71 and i'd be thrilled to have those 23 years back!the watchtower is one of the most insidious time-devouring organizations on our planet.thanks for nothing!____________________the above is in answer to:.
this week's wt-study:.
That's also why WT/GB are strongly pressuring PIMI parents to strongly pressure their very young children (as young as even 6 or 7 years of age) to get baptized (and the Borg had the utter gall to complain re: Catholicism and some other Christian religions encouraging child baptisms!).
The GB no doubt figures that by mind-controlling these little people while their very young (even from infancy) to the greater degree so that they will get dunked and be stuck not to attend college/university, not to have full-time employment with a good pension plan; rather, to slave for their corporation (disguised as a religion) and give whatever little $$$$ to them!
