Education: 2. Watchtower: 0.

As usual, you think their people would grow a brain and figure it out.

Some Worldly scientists made the vaccine, but it's all Gee-hober. Amazing how they frown on education but rely and benefit from it and delusionally kiss a made up god/ organization for it as if they produced it.

Looking Back Were There Any “Apostates” In Your Congregation?

i remember knowing some jws that expressed their own personal viewpoints regarding what a scripture meant that was at odds with society teachings.

in the 60 and 70’s, that was pretty much tolerated until the great purge in 1979 and 1980. as a matter of fact, it wasn’t unusual for witnesses to get together and discuss personal questions and viewpoints they might have.

it wasn’t unusual to send letters to the society asking what was considered the right or wrong view.

I had questions that Watchtower didn't/ couldn't answer. Was told to wait on Gee-hober. Waited, and waited crickets! Then I found Google.

Further thoughts on the new media Center project

by nowwhat? in

the organization figured out that a big building project gives the rank and file something to be engaged in and excited about.

it distracts them from their hamster wheel life.

and it buys them another 5 years until the next big thing.

I think I turned into one all those years of sitting thru meetings and talks and started to think what the hell as everyone else was bobbing their heads in agreement without even thinking about what is said. I developed a good BS meter.
