Are JW's a Social Experiment ?
by Sea Breeze inwhen a person looks at the sheer volume of watchtower lies, denial of salvation, free labor, false prophecies, misrepresentations, gas-lighting and falsehoods about everything and anything, it makes me wonder if it's one big test to see how gullible people can be.
there was as social experiment in the 1960's that tested how far people were willing to administer an increasing dose of electric shock if directed to do so by an authority figure.
shockingly, people were willing to give lethal doses to their neighbors.

JWs can toast now….what’s next
by FFGhost inso you can see from multiple topics here (& elsewhere), based on gb update #4, jws now have permission to toast.. there’s been a boatload of “xyz is now allowed” over the past couple of years….beards, no ties in field service or at the kh, sister can wear pants at the kh & in field service…... what do you think is next?.
a lot of folks are speculating on birthday celebrations being allowed, and i agree that will eventually come, but i don’t think it is next.
too big of a jump.. heres my guess:.

Don't know why there is any confusion when Dave 'Diddy' Splane explained it so masterfully??
Seriously, thanks to the above posters for the detailed explanations - most helpful, as was this overview.

A word of caution, just don't ask a current PIMI JW to explain t to you. I've tried. They haven't got a fu$$en clue, and quickly gravitate to accusing you of lacking faith or being an 'apostate'!

Years ago I was asked to do this when I was a Min Servant - I said I would not go alone, but take someone in case any one kicked off.
The elder said that was not allowed - I instantly declined the 'privilege'...

"Playing Chess is evil, not for Witnesses" -Awake 1973
by Witness 007 inawake 73 3/22 p.12 "....the spirit of competition between players can lead to unpleasant circumstances, as the new york times reported: most families manage to keep the conflicts that arise in games to the chess board.
but in some homes tensions linger long past checkmate.
chess has been a game of war since it was originated 1,400 years ago....the games connections with war are obvious...a play-substitute for the art of war.

I was in the school chess team for five years. My elder father didn't seem to mind.
I was in the school football team too - again I got no flack about that, Lucky I guess.
I think it's all about control - they don't want you doing ANYTHING outside their mind numbing, repetitive brainwashing sessions.

I found that over time, the hardcore JW friends I had couldn't handle any doubt cast on their beliefs
This is one of the things I really really dislike about the jw religion - why can't they just admit that their 'leaders' do not have a telephone line to God and make it all up as they go along??
