Look very much like propaganda pictures from WTBTS literature. Yet another flavour of totalitarian ideology.
Pictures from Soviet Union would typically have lot more red colored elements in them. While Nazi propaganda would be showing strong young men in snappy black uniforms from Hugo Boss ;-)

What Do You Think of Socialism?
by minimus indo you support socialism?
is it something that you would want in your country?.

I actually grew up in a socialist country, at that time it was known as Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. Many of us still wonder how did the comrades in charge manage to generate regular shortages of nearly everything - including toilet paper - despite news (or was it propaganda?) of the country consistently meeting and even overachieving in fulfilling all kinds of plans and quotas! We used to have a saying here: "They pretend they pay us, we pretend we work!" Maybe it's only me, but the way the BORG is now reminds me very much of the last decade of socialism in my country. They (GB) pretend to take care of us, we (PIMO) pretend we obey. -

BS stories in the publications
by Billzfan23 inthis is an example of a story that just strikes me as funny from their publications:.
"wilson, a christian from ghana, was notified that in a few days, he would be fired from his job.
on his final day at work, he was assigned to wash the private car of the managing director of the company.

That experience sounds like a scene from the Godfather films. The Boss has a new car and is not aware that there is a large sum of money stashed in it, hence he thinks the money was sent by God.
One wonders, whose car was it before the boss somehow appropriated it and why exactly did it need cleaning before the boss started using it...
Also what kind of organization is able to promote a worker (foot soldier) washing cars to senior member of staff (Capo) simply because "Wilson, you're the only one around here I can trust!"

Who stands to benefit from the JW scam
by cognitivedizzy inguys, i've always wondered about this ,.
all the money grab,selling, consolidation of kh, real estate scam , who is the one who benefits from this elaborate scam, what's the deal ?
who is the mastermind, do the gb or whoever really runs the show really believe what they sell.

I don't believe there is any mastermind running the show at the moment. The organization seems to be running on autopilot, with a bunch of really stuping (sincerely or not) men performing cabin servise while they rely on the Holy Spirit to pilot the airplane. I am certain that there is an army of cleverly cunning business minded people within the org who take advantage of the breathtaking incompetence that's omnipresent in the organization. I used to know a brother who supplied the New York bethel with some equipment. He used to brag that Watchtower is his largest customer and he makes good profit on the business with them although he found the incomptence of the staff he was dealing with quite mesmerizing.

"Following his victory at the Battle of Trafalgar, Horatio Nelson's body was preserved in a cask of brandy, or rum, to allow transport back to England. ... The pickled body was removed and, upon inspection, it was discovered that the sailors had drilled a hole in the bottom of the cask and drunk all the brandy/rum." - given the choice, the Judge might have opted for pickling insted of burrying.

It is now 2003.... Where is Armageddon?
by Nosferatu ini find it extremely amusing how each year is passing without armageddon.
"for the year 2000, i visualize a world transformed into a beautiful paradise!
but i don't think that either the present world or its rulers will live to see that day.. we are living in the last days of the system of things.

Thank you ever so much for sharing Giordano! I appreciate your balanced attitude. I am currently "Personally on the way Out - Mentally completely Out" and find it very hard to manage the process of separating from the organization without causing more trouble than it's worth. Unfortunately, I brought my entire family into the "truth" when I was in my early 20s and then married a girl who is a 3rd generation JW. I feel like I learned a lot today, thank you, brother!
