  seinfeld was a show about "nothing.

  " it had no plot.

  no twists.

  In truth, Seinfeld has plots and twists. They were part of the humor.

  Of course, the Zone/Branch/Regional visit WAS just a show about nothing.

  this is my third year since i signed up on jwn and i wanted to do something a bit different--a slight unmasking of sorts and greet everyone face to face.

  even with the help of a few notes, this is rambling, raw, and by no means the best personal experience video out there.

  Emery, TTATTelder: thanks!

  Pterist: thank you. I haven't looked at the VOIP phone yet...I'll have to look into that.

  GrreatTeacher: thank! Yes, at one point I was puddy in the hands of the elders when I foolishly put my head into the lion's mouth, but gets chewed up and spit out did lead to my opening my eyes.

  Thanks, wannaexit.

  For a long time, I was paranoid of being “caught”. Then it got to a point in my fade that it would make little difference in my life. Then I was resistant because I wasn’t sure if it would be narcissistic. But sometimes I think one can convey things “in person” better than in print, since a great part of communication is nonverbal.

  Night and Day from GB to Writing committee? Someone explain?

  by thedepressedsoul in

  im sure by now most of you are familiar with anthony morris talk from this weekend.

  im even seeing memes posted all over instagram from jw mocking it.. here is my question, why are the things written so different from how the gb members, like anthony morris are?

  i know the gb dont actually write the stuff but i was under the impression that they come up with the spiritual light pass if off to the writing committee and they put it in the publications.

  If the Watchtower ever banned football, there would be on outright revolt on thier hands. And they know it.

  As Steven Hassan said about cult Information Control: Insider Information vs Outsider Information. Also, the compartmentalization of Information. We can see both at work in regard the Zone visit.

  I believe for the more hardline stuff, they don't want it in print. They don't want to be quoted on what they really think via the pages of the publications.

  If it's in a talk (which they don't want recorded, which they don't want the notes shared), the message can do its work, but years down the line, they might be left with only a vague impression of what was said. They can also discount it as one person's extreme viewpoint, not the official teaching, not the "food at the proper time" that can be found via the Watchtower. It's kind of a fudge factor so the Watchtower Society can say, "We never said that."

  Often, there seems to be a "good cop/bad cop" phenomena going on.

  No wonder Lösch looked so tired at the annual meeting.

  Forgetting calling him to the stand, call Anthony Morris III! That would be gold hearing him testify.

  Inactive ones are bloodguilty?

  by dissonance_resolved in

  1. watchtower

  i've been thinking about brother morris' statement at the zone meeting this past weekend that inactive ones are bloodguilty.

  bloodguilt is defined as "guilty of murder or manslaughter.

  " murder is #1 on the list of disfellowshipping offenses- all they would have to do is change the wording from "murder" to "bloodguilt" and suddenly there you have grounds to disfellowship anyone who's inactive.

  In this teaching, in essense, a person is bloodguilty from birth and they work it off by going door-to-door.

  This teaching used to effect me greatly. I was never inactive, of course. But if you didn’t do enough and you could do more, you could potentially be bloodguiltly. What is ‘enough’? Of course, week after week, it is apparent that it is never enough. Do more! Do it better! Pioneer or die!
