  How Fear is Weaponized

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  fear is used by politicians, marketeers, social scientists, military psy-ops tacticians and just about anyone who wants to manipulate or destabilize another.

  to illustrate, look at this 1964 political ad by pres.

  johnson against barry goldwater:.

  Not only a fear of Armageddon but the pictures of a paradise earth with snow capped mountains and lakes surrounded by animals and plenty of food and our loved ones and a resurrected loved one walking towards you , and the opportunity of talking to your favourite Bible character .

  The fear of displeasing god and not being able to enjoy these things when the faithful would as a child and a youth put a lot of fear in me.

  Now fear dying but not death ,as others have said would not want a slow painful death , but to enjoy the time I have left .

  what were some of yours?

  the big one in our hall was no frontal hugs!

  these were generally thought of as inappropriate, only side hugs should be given between sisters and brothers.

  disclaimer: this article has some broad generalizations that will have exceptions to what is stated.

  this is the only way i can even attempt to address the topic.

  i've looked for scholarly articles published on peer reviewed journals for years.

  Thanks

  Since I started my fade I meet with two elders regarding a family issue they did not understand and refused to look on the internet on approved sites to be able to understand the issue,

  Often thought how many witnesses who believed and had mental health issues were disfellowshiped for a weakness because elders did not understand or would not try to understand and so contributed to the illness.

  in september 2019, the branch of jehovah’s witnesses and a number of kingdom halls in são paulo brazil were raided by the police, in search of documentary evidence of criminal activities relating to child sexual abuse.

  the jehovah’s witnesses claim that the raid was unlawful.

  Thanks hopefully justice for all the victims.

  The authorities seem to be aware of how the JWs handle and try and hide child abuse and failure to report to the police etc.

  Had a school overseer who made a rule that you could not do Bible highlights unless you were doing away public talks

  Not to criticize the po or his family even justifiably you lost the privilege of items on the service meeting for a few months

  "Do you believe that the 'faithful slave' is God's channel of communication?"

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if a jw had the nerve to ask me this question, i'd say to them, "you go first.

  using only scriptural proof, show me why you believe that the wtbts/ccojw is god's choice and i'll tell you if i agree with your scriptural reasoning.".

  wait for the silence and the rabbit in the headlights moment.. i searched on the wt cd rom for references of "channel of communication.".

  I believe a FAKE Jehovah through his FAKE son Jesus and a FAKE holy spirit directs his FAKE faithless slave to provide FAKE food at the proper time .

  as children we have a need to bond with our caregivers or parents.

  this bond leads to needing their approval.

  Thanks

  Sounds like another organisation that has documents on offenders of sexual abuse of children and failed to report and lots of money in the bank .

  Maybe they will file for bankruptcy and restructure to save paying compensation to the victims.
