  The bOrg Cult Tactics

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm wondering if the borg actually studied mind control and coercion tactics deliberately or wether they just evolved over time through trial and error.

  from reading steve hassans books, studying hypnosis and methods psychopaths use it all seems very complex.

  like it would never occur to me to do a, b and c in the right order at the right time in order to get control of someone or control their lives.. for example, repetition of words (the word "loyalty" was a big one in the last convention), using loaded language, encouraging people not to trust their own thoughts, restricting their information, demonising those who leave etc.

  Oct 2021 Time Capsule

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  what do you think the jw religion will be like in oct 2021?

  if we go back five years from oct 2016 you get 2011. there was no jw.org, really pretty much no tablets, most people were using paper copies for everything.

  now that's all changed.

  There is no way they are going to deal with false prophecy of the past . It will never be dealt with on individual basis ,it will be a generic proclamation like " we have been wrong in past ,but it was are eagerness to please God". How could they say we are wrong regarding blood ( to many dead ). Or we are wrong regarding child baptisms ( to many parent threw their kids to the wolves when kids left the church). The only thing guaranteed is some form of electronic donation system.

  Why aren't there windows in the KH?

  2. beliefs

  the last kh i attended, (faded) was built in 2014. there are no windows anywhere, although the front doors are glass.

  .

  it's nothing but a brown brick rectangle, as nondescript as possible as well.. any thoughts about why?.

  Violence is all about CONTROL. For animals it about protection and meals. For humans it's about self defence, border control, invasion protection, self administration of punishment.I honestly believe it has its place, if someone threatens those I love with lethal force I would not hesitate to return them to their maker in a box.

  What Must One Do To Get Baptized?

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the scriptures teach one must be baptized i the name of the father, son and holy spirit.

  how do the jws baptize and what must one do to receive it?

  also, if all baptized members become ordained ministers, does that mean they can baptize their own converts?

  I talked to God when I was a JW and after I left I talked to God. Well I hope and thought I was talking to him ,but there's a good chance I was talking to myself. He says he's hearer of prayer, I'd like to believe that BUT I've had no miracles, no voices, the only thing that come close to interaction with God is that these guys in suits from a place they call Kingdom Halls said they are Gods appointed judges. If these guys are a reflection of God then I say no thanks.

  It's easier to work out who aren't God people. Does the religion baptise children with no chance of them exploring other religions without sanctions. Do ones who get expelled for believing something different get reinstated when head office changes belief to what one expelled believed.

  JW women true value

  by Chook in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  when they sent out internal letter to elders regarding the binding of elders book , worldly men could do the job but only under supervision of a elder.

  but under no circumstance could a sister touch the book.

  the idiots put it in print, any elders wives on this forum should take it up with their man.

  Ladies do you really feel that God and the org held you in the same value as men. Women seemed to get little attention in the Old Testament and in the org similar outcome.
