Watch bullies and stubborn mules running a heartless corporation pretending living peacefully together on the cost of the victims. "Visit our show: Get into the spiritual paradise"
You get applause if you sell your house, give up your career and travel distant to support a need
You get applause if you obeyed and made you to a fool in the school or at work.
Catching a look of a nice girl whilst a meeting and hoping to meet her at the cafeteria after that talk and not scare her with my normal average appearance, long notes or my desire to pioneer and fully devote my life to hova.

You can sleep over free at friends worldwide without fear of being stolen while finding you sleep in the house of an unrevealed abuser.
You can talk about nonsense, prophecy...and get stunning looks and even prove your arguments showing your talent in WOL

He talked about how many ppl access porn sites in a minute, in an hour, how many films are produced in the US in 24 hours, how 9/10 men and 3/10 women regularly access online porn, etc.
So the GB demonstrates herewith how much it is more advantegous to be well informed about exciting current porn statistics than choosing a higher education. So how well and often should publishers imitate this demonstration of "lower porn education" and inform themselves about porn statistics instead of going to university? And shall we wait until it appears in WT stud, studd, studd-y artickles as higher education?
Exciting facts to make his talk less boring. Better a surreal battle in mind against porn than trading with real life

August 2018 Study Watchtower - Some wise words for JW's to consider!
by The Fall Guy indo you have the facts?.
page 3 - as true christians, we need to develop the ability to evaluate information and reach accurate conclusions.. page 4 - it is especially important to avoid (view) websites promoted by apostates.
(awakened jw's) their whole purpose is to tear down (inform) god’s people and to distort (reveal) the truth.

Those aprostates are turrible. They are getting bigger and pretty soon you justcain't keep ignorin' um
It is such an evident danger that soon it might be wise to compare them with the giant evil nephilim, who tyrannized God's people in antiquity. Like apostates they seemed to be bigger and stronger as God's people. They also taught people forbidden things that sounded as if they were revealed heavenly secrets
It is reported by unsupported facts that they were six-armed. Likewise apostates seem to interfere in all belongings of worship in the last days six-fold, ad if they had JW in their grip, mixing truth with lie so enabling exploitation of naive ones with so-called facts and fake citationsthat one can't ignore.

THEY act like the ones who are hurt??!!
by stuckinarut2 init really amazes me when jws act like we are hurting them!.
many of us have found that if we stop associating with them for valid reasons, they act all upset and hurt that we would be "so cruel as to limit our association or cut them off".
i know of friends here on the forum who have been told by parents that they "will shun them if they leave jehovah" , and yet when the shoe is on the other foot and our awake friends shun them first, the parents cry and bemoan the situation and say how "cruel it is to deprive them of their company".

They are just imitating the bible story of the "Prodigal Son"/"Lost Son" in a certain- strange - kind. This story has been countless times basis of "biblical dramatisiations" at conventions where a grown up JW child "LEAVES" the family /the faith (the father in the story) and gets into troubles in he world outside the family. These children are seen as lost or dead. After the son aka the erring and wandering child gambles the family heritage or business by having "worldly friends" or "businesspartners" the mentally shattered RENEGADE finally "RETURNS" to his family /the father aka congregation +Jehovah after he understands that he lived much better before in the family. Only then after coming back the child gets forgiveness.
Its always the Son who leaves and who has to return to the father. And forgivness is only possible after returning. So simple bible principle, it seems.
But now the single POINT of failure in this dramatisations.
In the parable the father forgives the son before the son even tells him about a repentance.
I: FORGIVENESS V.20 “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
2. REPENTANCE. 21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
This is how God is portrayed by Jesus.

This is a Mormon interpretation of the story.

"to complete the preaching work"
Today I had an encounter with a former elder now his 70is. I said hello and wished him good street service. We shaped hands .. but then
The sudden reply: "You know that for you there isn't much time left now?"
Me; "I think it can last eben longer"...
"You know what the bible says is coming next. That whenever yhey say peace..."
Me "Um not sure now Kim even is good friend with Trump..."
"The bible is always true...You have only few time now.....
"Okay I have to go now my parking ticket runs out.. good buy.."
He is standing now there when the weather is warmer each Saturday. He had about 15 awake in his hand in old manner. A really unusual number of them, a thick burdensome bundle ....
To Complete unto me his Preaching Work. IS this the loving call for coming back?🦊

JW's - Are you in a "THEOCRATIC arrangement" or an AUTOCRATIC one?
by The Fall Guy ini now know which system i was under!.
theocratic/theocracy: a system of government in which priests rule in the name of god or a god.
(oxford dictionary).

This arrangement has indeed also totalitarian traits. While the theocratic and autocratic both are dictatorships, the total-itariN wants to "change the person" into a new person.
Totalitarian domination unlike an authoritarian dictatorship, strives to work into all social conditions, (aka micromanaging a publishers life) often linked to the claim to form a "new man" according to a certain ideology (according new insight).
While an authoritarian dictatorship seeks to uphold the status quo, a totalitarian dictatorship requires the ruled to play a most active role in the life of the state or Org, (permanent work) as well as its further development in a direction dictated by its ideology.
Thus typical are the permanent mobilization in mass organizations (shunning. Hate speech consequences for mishbhavior) and the exclusion up to the killing of those who actually or possibly oppose the total claims to power. (Excommunication ,Stoning Armageddon) The political counter-model to totalitarianism is the democratic-liberal, material state governed by the rule of law, with freedom of citizens guaranteed by fundamental rights, the separation of powers and the constitution.
Mostly both National Socialism and Stalinism are classified as prototypes of totalitarian regimes.
While this comparision might be inapropriate these little similarity to fascist and politicsl misuse of power and misuse of power in cults or regimes and the total-itarian dependency and obidience urged should be alarming.
It's that what is between total and totalitarian.
From a cult you can seemingly escape but hardly not from a regime.
