Kind of weird after all those leaked videos about WT's finances, still, in this year of the Lord 2018, they say don't have a good auditing process, practically no use of budgets, infighting between departments, special petty projects, delayed decisions about subcontracting, people with checkbooks or credit cards around with not too much internal control....there is no wonder why they're having all those problems with income and expenses....

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.

Mind is really powerful and could be manipulated....like for example in North Korea....a lot of people over there really think the best about their 'beloved comrade leader'.

okay, they cheapened the product by getting rid of hardcover books.

they reduced printing of mags.

they drastically reduced the number of pieces of printed paper that members would "place" in people's hands in various ways, the biggest one being that they put them on a cart and don't encourage people to take them.they cut d.o.

Oh, oh .... I got it! Just make only one extended weekly meeting ... and voila...you could 'consolidate' and sell a lot of KH!

What’s your favorite "News" website?

by Wonderment in

news in general are supposed to be unbiased.

but given how commercial and political interests get their tentacles around them, finding a fully unbiased news website is not so easy.. here in america some would rather trust bbc or reuters than they do cnn or fox news.

any favorites?.

A little bit of everything...from a well established source, and try right and left, because this times it's a good rift in between. Don't forget the Europeans and Asians. Sometimes is good to know a little bit the historical context too. It's pretty easy to detect a bad place ex. histories about aliens, the end of the world, etc.

The Threat From Ebola by Somebody Who Discovered It

by cofty in

this interview in der spiegel is well worth your time.... peter piot was one of the scientists who discovered ebola in 1976. turns out it was the fault of catholic nuns who coldn't be bothered to sterilise the needles they were using to administer vitamins to pregnant women.. he describes the present outbreak as "a perfect storm" which could claim a frightening number of lives in africa and india.

he doesn't see it as a serious threat to countries with a modern health care system.. "i still remember exactly: one day in september, a pilot from sabena airlines brought us a shiny blue thermos and a letter from a doctor in kinshasa in what was then zaire...".

They are increasingly appealing to emotion

by cookiemaster in

they always have but lately, they've taken it to a whole new level.

the new convention video about the end, the many videos at conventions and meetings, the new songs, all highly emotionally manipulative.

and they're working.

The Borg is using a lot more of visual stuff because they know that with all cultural change about seeing and not reading,nobody is gonna read books like in the 60's to 80's anymore. And yes they are catching people with emotional stuff in third world countries. Be a little bit like Pentecostals or disappear.
