  Scam Marketing !

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower

  we are constantly being attacked by scam marketers who create a perceived need , not a real one, and hence create within us a want.

  if we fill our desire for that thing or things by buying in to it, we then end up with totally unnecessary expense.

  we have been scammed.. whether that be something to do with the latest fashions and trends, the latest 'phone, car or something similar.. the longest running, and most lucrative marketing scam in all human history has been religion.

  Broken Marriages in your Congregation,

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  my questions on this is prompted by pondering on the number of broken marriages that happened in my old congregation over a 30 year period, from 1980 to 2010 approx.. over the whole ww "brotherhood" divorce and broken marriages is about average i would think, but in my old congo.

  the number of such events was phenomenally high for such a small group.

  very high in comparison to other churches or social groups in this area.. in 1980 we were a slightly larger than average congo, and being somewhat unique, because of our very liberal attitudes, we attracted a lot to join from areas outside of our "territory" many of these may have had marriage problems when they joined us, many of the home grown ones married very young etc.

  while having my first strong black coffee of the day, i was thinking about what may be to come next as the org.

  rapidly goes mainstream, and this is what i came up with :.

  1) they will introduce for sunday, the after meeting fellowship, a time for just chatting but with the added bonus of coffee and snacks.

  Thoughts on Likely Upcoming Changes in the Org.

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am thinking that the "ten year plan" that some have spoken of is the most likely scenario.

  the org.

  has to both attract new members and retain as many existing ones as possible.. so i think they will let the recent changes "bed in" for a while, maybe a year ?

  of course the main issues this raises are far more important than than the mention of j.w's crazy views on magic..
