  She will be embedded with a group of 90 Russians. As in, staying at the hotel with them.

  As in...pay Watchtower for the privilege to be unpaid workers in a hotel?

  Satan Hurled Out in 1914 - Will They Say It Was Never Taught?

  by Anna Marina in

  wbts rewrites/carefully edits their own history.

  since 2005, i have been through a lot with with wbts.

  recently i came across a suggestions that they will start denying that they ever said satan was hurled out of heaven in 1914.. in my experience, it is one doctrine many ordinary members are clear about - you ask them what supposedly took place in 1914 and they'll say, "satan was hurled out of heaven, therefore world war i started.".

  Satan was hurled out of heaven, therefore World War I started."

  Oddly enough the Great War (WWI) was expected by world leaders for decades, and started months before Satan supposedly was thrown from heaven.

  Huh.

  well, the typical person doesn't have to worry about field service and reporting time.

  so why should i have to?.

  At the meeting yesterday watch tower conductor reckons hand in field service report because Jesus disciples reported back to him about what a great time they what they did. I doubt it was number of hours or return visits.

  What this shows is that apparently people report their results back to the person they follow, to the person who's disciples they are.
  Jesus disciples reported back to Jesus.

  JW report back to Watchtower. Whose disciples are they then?

  Thanks!

  Two people sent the book back to me (unread of course) with notes about Jehovah's vengeance. One person tore it up and sent me a note.

  "Thank you for buying my book.You financial support to the apostate cause is very much appreciated."

  there’s nothing special about being a woman here. And that means that female workers want to stay on the project,

  Yeah because within the JW a construction site is the only place a woman is allowed to 1) do what men are allowed to do and 2) use their brains.

  Everywhere else in JW only men are allowed to do and think (sadly they never really do), women just have to sit and be silent.

  No wonder JW women like the building projects. Finally some feeling of worthiness and purpose. Finally they see actual results for their hard work (as opposed to field service).

  Stopping Thought Stopping.

  by Peeringin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  im sure that many on this forum will be aware of the thought-stopping techniques that are taught by jws/wts to suppress difficult thoughts and overcome cognitive dissonance in favour of reverting back to belief in wts.. often in conversation these will be clear verbal cues that can sound unnatural during the course of a conversation, as though an individual is temporarily reading a script to overcome a difficult point.. my question to you all is this:.

  are there any methods or resources that people are aware of that can help to break through a thought stopping mechanism when it is noticeably in effect?

  a question perhaps, or technique that will encourage the individual to think the thought through in its entirety?.

  Questions, questions, questions.

  More specifically, questions that actually invite a person to think about what they believe or think is true.

  Avoid making statements or even launch an attack by means of 'questions'. That will only trip them into shutting their minds.

  Use questions to make them think. Questions may linger long after the conversation finished.

  The goal is to make a person open their mind and think, even if just a little and for a short time.

  Maybe next time it will be more....and more....until the avalanche in their mind can't be stopped.

  They can only convince themselves anyway..
