  it struck me as funny that in order to sign in to this site we have to answer the question in the affirmative "i am not a robot.

  yet if we are a jw we are a robot after years of programming by the organisation!

  ironic isn't it.

  i stumbled across this picture.

  Subliminal Messages

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was watching a fascinating ted-ex video on hypnosis and hypnotism with a friend.

  my friend wondered if the jws new music might have a hypnotic suggestion buried somewhere in it which gets everyone in attendance to listen and absorb stuff that is totally irrational for the entire program.

  ending with a second subliminal message in the final song along the lines of "you will snap out of this state when you next hear the word amen.

  The Use of Hyperboles.

  by Lost in the fog in

  2. beliefs

  i have often wondered if jesus deliberately used hyperboles to obscure his meaning.

  i can say to my wife that i will love her until the moon is no more.

  she well knows that i will love her forever, not simply until earth's nearest satellite crumbles into dust.

  Resurrection to Heaven

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ct russell said the dead would be resurrected to heaven from 1874-1881.. then the judge decided that it was not 1874/5 for the return of christ but 1914, so moving the heavenly resurrection forward to be from 1914-1918.. in truth nobody knows when it happens or happened.

  just because the watchtower leadership says something in the printed word doesn't mean that it is true.

  zion's watchtower 1881, january.

  Dumbstruck!

  by Lost in the fog in

  2. beliefs

  i am absolutely dumbstruck and lost for words.

  one of the elders who criticised me over my use of social media rang me up to ask how i was doing.

  after the usual blah-blah-blah i asked him if he had attended the recent elders one day school.

  Jw.org

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a friend of ours over in northern ireland says that people can't find their country on jw.org.

  apparently it is because the list of countries on the jw.org site is by bethel not the standard list of countries that (say) a google website would list.

  someone looking for a congregation in northern ireland goes to "ireland" but that is only the republic of ireland.

  i have friends who are called "worldly people" by jws.

  these people are actively involved in feeding the homeless over christmas.

  managing thrift shops so they can send financial aid overseas to poorer children.
