Well, the kind of people that respond to their type of half-psudo partial truth message is a group of people that frequently fall for this kind of message, so that is why those that become JWs are skewed toward gullible people. They have more than their share of Amway salespeople, Mary Kay Reps,Herbalife reps, shaklee reps, primerica reps, and the like of multi level marketing schemes. They appeal to get rich quick kind of people that don't want to spend much time studying to learn something worthwhile, like becoming a lawyer, doctor, or scientist. I fit into this group as I fell for the Dave Deldotto no money down real estate scam in the early 90,s. Went to one of his seminars and fell for his spill hook line and sinker and lost maybe $1500 on his books and tapes. He was a "brother" which caused my guard to go down. He is now selling over priced wine at his winery in Napa valley.

What makes JDubs so gullible?
by Sour Grapes ini think that jdubs are so gullible because they can't handle reality and are fully invested in a future paradise earth where there will be no problems.
i hope they can cope with the 1,000 reign of jesus that will have a ton of more problems than what they have now.. they may be gullible also because they like not having to think.
they are told what clothes to wear, what to eat, what type of movies they can see, where to go on vacation, what type of car to drive, what to answer when answering during the watchtower study, what is permissible sex for a married couple, etc..

Heb. 1:2-3 Proof we should worship Jesus?
by NikL injw.org believes that jesus is not god but a separate entity.
let's go with that for the time being.
in the referenced scriptures the writer of hebrews says that jesus "sustains all things by the word of his power" and has been "appointed heir of all things".

The unknown hebrew scholars that secretly interpret the bible more correctly fixed this interpretation problem by simply changing "his" son to "a" son and all the publishers spred this "new" truth as gospel. They do like to make the bible so simple that anyone that reads their bible will agree with them, after all they are gods organization that dispenses meet in due season...(sarcasm inserted here)

In 1986 I remember that there was a large group of clergy that met and prayed for peace and actually declared something like this is the year of peach and security and boy did the witnesses start the gossip then that the big A was so close...

Today’s meeting and CO visit
by Addison0998 inthe meeting today was quite disturbing as usual and had to endure 2 talks by yet another egotistical, pompous co who gives talks like a hardcore southern baptist, but people adore no matter what crazy shit spews from their mouth.
today, he talked about jesus illustration about how if your eye or hand stumbles you, remove it.
he went into gory detail about how somebodies eye ball is pulled out from their head, and what it takes to cut someone’s hand off...perhaps even with a pocketknife...in front of many small children in the audience.

So many members have accumulated so many magazines that they were supposed to distribute, but instead stored them in basements and attics, gets me to thinking that the Watchtower and Awake have another award...as the most wasteful use of ink and paper products in mankind,s history. They have singlehandedly wasted enough paper to possibly reach the moon and back 8 times...

Casually point out to them the front introduction of the old Awake magazines has the paragraph about "the generation that will not pass away" in it and then see if they still want them.

Any chance I get, I replay this news report in Dallas about elder sex abuse right here in Texas. Usually get a dumbfounded look and they say Jehovah will clean out his org. and the subject gets changed akwardly

We keep in expectation of Jehovah, the God of all justice, to correct matters in his own due time.—Isaiah 30:18. one day is like a thousand, so don't expect the big guy to do anything anytime soon.
