Dietary Quirks Among JWs
by millie210 ini recently had to accompany an older family member out of state to a family reunion.
it was a big reunion and not much was overtly made of the fact that i am "misguided" and not attending meetings (lost soul that i am) which was nice.
the thing i noticed that i was most struck by was all the dietary quirks in evidence during our 3 days together.

They feel wonderful having the gb read the bible for them and now some literature is just for public only which means they don’t have to read them either. Leave reading for the academics of bethel and we will trust head office for interpretations of multi headed beasts, dear publishers keep nodding and sending cash and you shall inherit the earth. They should print toilet paper with their propaganda, I don’t see this paper slowing production and it would be used for appropriate use for our dear faithful and discreet slave.

Did you leave the JW RECENTLY? Really? Recently? WTF were you thinking?
by The Real Edward Gentry innot to be overly harsh...but if you just left, what the hell were you thinking?
between 1995 and now, you never did an internet search of "jehovahs-witness" or "watchtower"?
good god.

Dear Edward , we weren’t blessed with as much grey matter as you, our intelligence was slower at processing lies and deception as you dear Edward. We were all thinking how lucky we are to get out of the cult even if it took us longer then you. We are just glad we can have such bright sparks on this forum as yourself to remind us what dumb shits we were or are. May your life be enriched hanging around us.

What is the Psychological agenda of the Watchtower Corporation enacted through its publications ?
by Finkelstein inbasically its to get people to believe in the things they say and proclaim.
once people are in a believable mental state and acceptance, then the wts can control people's thoughts, emotions and actions through acts of repetitive indoctrination.. this all comes together by instilling the notion that their interpretation of the bible is the correct and accurate one.
add in the notion of following us you'll be more righteous in the eyes of god , thereby offering a better chance of survival at the soon to come armageddon.. everything connects in a cohesive self supporting way and subconsciously effects the thoughts and social behavior of all those being indoctrinated.. constantly pointing out the many evils of the outside secular world or other religions as "false" but how one can gain true happiness when inside this organization is their way to sustain devoted members.

The Watchtower's Real Crisis
by JeffT inwhen discussing the watchtowers financial problems, i've generally been of the opinion that they probably are not in a real financial crisis.
i've come to believe that money may be something of an issue, but its wrapped up in a much larger problem.
this came to me this morning when reading about the annual meeting.. i think the society's leadership is just plain out of ideas.

The GB are the man of lawlessness, they have as much blood on their hands as any tyrant before them . Seekers of truth will leave the org and the quality of apostasy is rising fast. The internet reveals all frauds.
