  What kind of literary device is this?

  by EdenOne in

  i know there's a name for this technique but i need a name, nonetheless.. if i say to my audience: apostates are horrible, satanic, dirty, sinners, mentally diseased etc ... all hateful traits.

  and then i say: person a is an apostate.

  then my audience will associate all the traits previously associated with "apostate" with person a. but i can say: i never said person a was horrible, satanic, dirty, mentally diseased etc.

  Character labeling preconditioning

  Ironically there are past leaders of the JWS who were truly apostate , evil , corrupt , unrighteous hypocrites.

  Logical Fallacy… can I get some help here?

  by DATA-DOG in

  dr. leanna wen is currently spreading the fallacy that unvaccinated persons should have vaccines mandated because they are like drunk drivers… they have the right to be drunk at home she says, but wanting to be part of society at large without being vaccinated is like driving drunk and putting others at risk.

  besides ignoring the science proving that persons who have had sars cov-2 have natural immunity that equals or exceeds anything that could be imparted from the mrna shot, without the side effects or need for boosters, ( sorry big pharma, you’ll be losing $$$ ) this illustration just smacks of illogical reasoning.

  it reminds me of the borg comparing getting baptized to getting your driver’s license.

  Is it really a Liberal ideology that is only pro vaccination ?

  There is high number of right wing conservatives who are also pro vaccination as they see it as moral responsible imperative with the concern of others..

  To make a better distinction of who is pro vac to those who aren't, take a survey of people who are 70 and up with those who are under 30 and that's where you see a stark contrast of results.

  One of the issues surrounding this subject is that certain folks refuse to read information.

  from your own words no less
  

  Only thing you do DD is pull biased selective information from somewhere that supports your biased position, kind of like JWS trying to support their doctrines.

  Are you still a practicing JWS ?
  

  Just to use an example here in Canada,.....

  Provinces such as Alberta and Ontario who had a strong repulsion of social restrictions eventually grew to a state that all their hospitals became overwhelmed by people who had high level Covid symptoms, which inevitable made these hospitals stop other planned surgeries due to a lack of beds etc.
  

  Here in BC social restrictions and mask wearing regulations have been lifted but Covid cases have dropped dramatically, why ? because of the population vaccination program.

  The science is there as evidence, if you want to deny that that's your problem.

  First vac was Astrazeneca, had slight flu like symptoms for a day, next day back to normal.

  Second vac was Moderna, this was a little worse, sore injection area, pains all over for a couple of days.

  Oh well , I work in a public populated work place so I thought it was for the best.

  The fact is that unvaccinated people have more of chance of suffering worse symptoms from this virus with its new variants.

  Regulated social restrictions and mask wearing was never suppose to be a permanent law, its was implemented as such to a time when the majority of the populations are vaccinated, the post occurring results were known and accepted to what they are.

  Covid is going to be around for awhile yet but governments are trying block the number of people who have severe symptoms, who need to be hospitalized in other words.

  If you particularly think because your young and healthy and you cant die from this virus , your purely ignorant to the facts.

  The young and health do die from this virus, although not the number of the physically weak and elderly .

  this illustration just smacks of illogical reasoning.

  How about the reasoning that vaccinated people who do get Covid have a much lesser chance of dying from it or getting severely sick, with the potential of crippling most hospital systems.
  

  That was the whole purpose of social restrictions and mask wearing.

  Do you get it now DD ?

  612,000 people died form this virus in the US alone
  

  Put all other information aside and accept the intent.

  You either got to be one huge apathetic closed minded idiot or just a pure blatant sociopath

  STUDY ARTICLE When a Loved One Leaves Jehovah

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the watchtower—study edition | september 2021. study article 39. when a loved one leaves jehovah.

  2 think how heartbroken jehovah must have been when members of his own angelic family turned their back on him!

  (jude 6) and imagine how hurt he was at seeing his beloved people, the israelites, rebel against him time and again.

  Mental manipulation and coercion is the game the leaders of the JWS play onto people, why ? because if they do that they gain new supportive adherents and sustain the ones they got (increase in numbers) which whom will inevitable bring money, glory and power to the men at top. Men who want power have always looked to god for that power, selling themselves upon that premise lures people toward them who usually bring them material wealth and control.

  Religion has always been an act of mental exploitation and manipulation.

  I think Splane is the Cult Leader. And I think there are more apostates working on the inside than we can imagine.

  by pistolpete in

  2. beliefs

  so in the latest leaked video, splane goes on this crazy delusional rant about how faithful witnesses should never research their faith.. he criticizes the worldly court system and says they are not fair toward witnesses and the organization.

  he says the court system is rigged and witnesses who get convicted, (implied child sex abusers) are innocent.

  he is literally trying to justify child molesters and elders who cover them, as good people in "god's eyes" even though "human authorities" may judge them and put them in jail.

  How do religious cults control people ?
  

  Through fear (superstition), lies, ignorance and propagating supportive information only.

  Put all of those endeavors together and you can form a following or cult.

  after listening to the zoom meetings the past two weeks, i started to wonder, what is the real purpose for such short comments.

  policy for 5 or more years now.

  supposedly, it is so more can comment.

  Becasue they want people to reiterate exactly whats in the written paragraph and not waste time or extend time which inevitably screws up the allotted time for the entire WT study.

  This happens a few times where someone prolongs their answers far away and above what is deemed appropriate or necessary.
