  The Devouring Mother Archetype(jungian) And the Watchtower Corporation's Self Identification As Mother And Jehovah As Father

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  the devouring mother must be always listen to and obeyed it is the negative side of the anima image and it rules over the watchtower corporation.

  jehovah(corporation's imaginary sock puppet) is the father figure with his masculine macho swagger he gains victory over every detractor and his huge narcissistic personality demands exclusive devotion from everyone or it's the death penalty, he suffers from an inflated ego and has a very dark and evil shadow due to denial of his dark nature/satan(scape goat).

  the children or rank and file pee on dedicated members of the corporation must now engage in worthless pursuits to satisfy a mood swinging domineering mother and a murderous self righteous father all the while being shown a very contemptible form of conditional love, accompanied with constant death threat reminders and a carrot on a sting to keep them focused on such and busy with worthless pursuits for a hopeless cause.

  I've read several volumes of Jung's collected works, containing many case histories. I also read Memories, Dreams, Reflections, his autobiography, in which he describes his work in a psychiatric hospital in Zurich, Switzerland in his early career. I was interested because he was born in the canton of Thurgau where my husband's mother was born.

  One thing I remember from his autobiography is he treated a teenage girl in Burgholizli who had been repeatedly raped by her brother and his friend. She was admitted and diagnosed with schizophrenia. He talked to this girl for seven years and eventually she went home, married, had children and was never admitted again. An interesting case.

  A bit of content for you. Forgive me for interrupting your intellectual discussion. I do know about archetypes. I think they are interesting but inconclusive. I shall now leave this discussion because frankly I don't need to be patronized by the likes of you.

  Oub I read McLeod thinking it was anti-Jung because of your comments but I read it anyway because I don't espouse confirmation bias. The reason I copied and pasted his conclusion was because it really surprised me. Now you say I have descended into talking about talking? No idea what you mean because I just copied his conclusion and commented on it. Honestly I don't know why you said whatever like that.

  BW and Xanthippe, it's more than a little weird that you only seemed to read the portion of my post with which you disagree.

  I not only read your entire post but I read the entire article you cited from Saul Mcleod. It's weird that you read my reply but didn't realise this.

  However, Jung’s work has also contributed to mainstream psychology in at least one significant respect. He was the first to distinguish the two major attitudes or orientations of personality – extroversion and introversion. He also identified four basic functions (thinking, feeling, sensing, and intuiting) which in a cross-classification yield eight pure personality types.
  Psychologists like Hans Eysenck and Raymond Cattell have subsequently built upon this. As well as being a cultural icon for generations of psychology undergraduates Jung therefore put forward ideas which were important to the development of modern personality theory.

  This is the conclusion of Saul Mcleod's article which Oubliette cited, showing Jung's contributions to mainstream psychology which are far from trivial; extroversion, introversion and personality types utilised by Briggs and Myers.

  why disfellowshipping is a loving provision.

  just by looking at this image we can see how quickly the barrier between the congregation and former member is put up, after the announcement that this sister is no longer one of jehovah's witneses.

  I said you were embarrassing yourself when you called reading the meaning of any art work 'screwing up your eyes and using your imagination'. A simple conversation? If you say so.

  Do you think professors of "the academic discipline of art history" give credits to students who see imaginary demons and ape heads in a crap illustration? Really?

  What's that got to do with me. I haven't mentioned demons. I don't believe in demons. Please respond to what I actually wrote.

  I did, what did you think I was responding to?

  Sigh! OK I'll play but not all evening, I have a low boredom threshold.

  I was responding to this, which you actually wrote, believe it or not,

  There is no comparison between intellectually analysing the beliefs of a religion and reading meanings into the shapes and shadows in a drawing.
  One involves comparing their doctrines with objective evidence about reality. Uncovering lies and deceptions and exposing fallacies. The other involves screwing up your eyes and using your imagination. (Emphasis mine)

  I am sure professors of the academic discipline of art history would have found that interesting. Then you said,

  If you are looking for a dolt who can't appreciate the nuances or art I am not that man.

  No comment.

  Iconography, as a branch of art history, studies the identification, description, and the interpretation of the content of images: the subjects depicted, the particular compositions and details used to do so, and other elements that are distinct from artistic style. The word iconography comes from the Greek εἰκών ("image") and γράφειν ("to write"). A secondary meaning (based on a non-standard translation of the Greek and Russian equivalent terms) is the production of religious images, called "icons", in the Byzantine and Orthodox Christian tradition; see Icon. In art history, "an iconography" may also mean a particular depiction of a subject in terms of the content of the image, such as the number of figures used, their placing and gestures. The term is also used in many academic fields other than art history, for example semiotics and media studies, and in general usage, for the content of images, the typical depiction in images of a subject, and related senses. Sometimes distinctions have been made between Iconology and Iconography,[1][2] although the definitions, and so the distinction made, varies. When referring to movies, genres are immediately recognizable through their iconography, motifs that become associated with a specific genre through repetition.[3][need quotation to verify]

  Reading a painting is used in university level history because paintings are primary sources. As you often say to people about evolution Cofty, do more reading, you are embarrassing yourself.

  Pioneering requires long hours. Sisters tend to wear long skirts as they are easier to climb in and out of vans and cars. You also dont have to wear leg wear (stockings or hose) or have nice legs to wear a long skirt. Heck, you dont even have to shave your legs

  Thanks, that's interesting Millie, although I pioneered all day but not in long skirts like the ones I see on the Borg website pictures. Mind you, I didn't have to cover up my legs, if I do say so myself 😄
