does anyone remember the movie (i believe the name was) "heritage" the borg presented on tv around 68-71?

hatred is a strong emotion exploited by propagandists.
loaded language is particularly effective in triggering it.
there seems to be a nearly endless supply of nasty words that promote and exploit hatred toward particular racial, ethnic, or religious groups.. so the sly art of propaganda can paralyze thought, prevent clear thinking and discernment, and condition individuals to act en masse.

Dr Piers Robinson is an expert on communication, media and world politics, focusing on conflict and war and especially the role of propaganda.
Please do not forget that Hitler won elections and other demagogues easily rigged them... I do not share Dr. Robinson’s optimism.
the last talk o the saturday convention of jw was already often the centre of discussion, with all the name calling, logical fallacies and fear mongering.
however, it was interesting, not just what and how splane adressed the matter, also what he actually had to admit.
1) he had to admit, that the org is actually loosing court battles, left and right.
in other words,

i was raised a catholic until the age of eight which was a normal life.
my mother took everything the jws said literally and this destroyed my schooling and education.. the issue that i have with this religion is that they contradict what they say about education and elders encourage parents to prevent kids from gaining a college or university education as the jw objectives should be the primary goal in life.. they sometimes seemed to encourage education and recently i checked and now they are saying that education leads to alienation and suicide.
they state that university leads to immorality and drug taking.
Growing up, I went in field service every blasted Sat. and Sunday after the morning meeting. Neither parent ever took me to to the county or city library. The only library I needed was in back of the Kingdom Hall.

Despite being forced to have no education, one can always learn.
'I dropped out of school in the 8th grade, but I have over 4000 books in my library and I've read them all, some 30 or 40 times! Before I could afford books I spent lots of time in libraries. In America, there is no excuse for not educating yourself. Success starts with education.'

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.
6. How might a young person be affected when a parent leaves God?
6 ... I love my father, so when he was disfellowshipped, I constantly worried about his well-being. I even had panic attacks.”
6. How might a young person be affected when they fall asleep during a meeting, and know what awaits them at home?
A high state of anxiety that stays with them as they learn about Armageddon's fast approach.
'I think the Watch Tower Society's agenda of creating a chronic state of anxiety in their followers provides an environment to maintain that anxiety to detriment and death. If a person doesn't suffer from anxiety when they start out as Jehovah's Witnesses they soon will. Being a Witnesses is to be anxious. That's the goal. That's the motivation to get the workers to work for the Society.
'The Society TRIES to "instill a state of urgency". A state of urgency is a small step away from a state of panic.'

here are links to some trailers.. the adventists documentary film - bing video - the sda live about 10 years longer than people in general of the usa, due to their emphasis on healthy living.
that is something i appreciate about them.. there are some similarities between the sda and wt/jws.
see the following videos.. the great disappointment - bing video - the video mentions christ will come to his sanctuary; the wt teaches christ came to the temple in 1918 (or so).. october 22, 1844 - we know the date.
'A spokesperson for the Seventh-Day Adventist Church was unsure whether the church was a member of the CCONO but said that the church did oppose SB 131.'
