Are They Cynically Shutting Down The Organization?

by metatron in

jw

i've raised this idea before but recent events seem to support it.

changes in the watchtower may be guided by more than a need for cash flow: they may simply be liquidating/shutting it down as discreetly as possible.. of course, this doesn't mean they stop working on their upstate ny country club - but it could mean that the throrough going exposure and disproof of their beliefs on the internet, when it emerged, took many of them by surprize, as it did many of us!

after awhile, they generally gave up trying to make any sense of their doctrines - and coupled with cash flow issues - moved towards a quiet retreat.. take a look at a few things:.

Prime Directive of Destructive Cults

by Farkel in

the prime directive of all destructive cults is to keep members absolutely convinced they are not involved in a destructive cult.

if that directive is not sustained the game is over for the leaders of the cult.. i thought about this because of an interesting experience i had not more than a half hour ago.

i wanted to call a childhood friend of mine; we had made contact a year or so ago after forty years.

What I think about the "We just love this idea" of David Splane

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

the jw.org video about the annual meeting contains david splane saying "we just love this idea", when talking about the adjusted fds doctrine.

"we just love this idea"????

when it becomes one of the fundament teachings of the organisational part of a religion, the rank-and-file witnesses are expected to be convinced about these kind of doctrines.

DAMN

by never a jw in

in the last six months i have learned so much about jw's from the "apostate" books and web sites such as jwfacts and this great site.

ever since i started my research on jw's three adjectives to describe the wts leadership came to mind: deceptive, arrogant and manipulative.

i just noticed today that the first letters create the acronym dam.

Things which have no meaning have meaning

by Terry in

this sentence is invisible but has meaning when it is not invisible.

in the above box we have a sentence that contains "meaning".

but, it only has meaning because you are curious enough to find it.. without curiousity and a drive to discover we can't even see the things which have no meaning that have meaning.. .
