Witnessing is used as a yard stick. The more you do, the more privileges you can earn.

33Door-to-door preaching as surveillance
by john.prestor ini wanted to share some thoughts about jehovah's witnesses and their door-to-door preaching.
door-to-door preaching is supposedly about gathering converts, but in fact, as we frequently discuss, doesn't actually bring that many "sheep-like ones" in.
i want to suggest that a second meaning (what we call the latent meaning in academia) is facilitating surveillance of the congregants who attend some congregation.

Assualt... lol. That is not a word numbnuts. Because of this, it is not definable.
Numbnuts is not definable, assault is certainly a word.
Lol.
As I understand, fink is referring to assault rifles/weapons as a broad generalisation, the media calls the assault weapons the worse, that’s why they’re so scary. If it has an ergonomic handle and it’s semi automatic you can bet it’s an assault gun and very scary.

It’s really the guns though that sets Americans apart, not the mentally ill. You can concentrate on massacres but when looking at total gun deaths the majority are just single murders.
Australia has recently had two massacres where a male has shot and killed family members and killed himself. One man went through the drama of joining a pistol shooting club to obtain the license and revolver he used to shoot his family.
I’ve know people who have given up all their firearms when going through divorce or other rough times, scared they might turn one on themselves. In the USA it’s very easy to obtain guns, they are extremely popular so with gun ownership so high they will always have more gun deaths.
Mental health and gun related deaths are largely separate issues, seems inevitably disastrous though when guns are so accessible even for the legitimately insane.

Someone In Melbourne Australia just set fire to a car and stabbed members of the public. Hopefully the victims are ok. The suspect is in hospital critically injured after being shot by police, a slow death let’s all pray.
This bullshit of knives, cars, explosions of gas or shrapnel, baseball bats, cable zip ties, hammers, rocks, scissors, bar stools, hardwood timber, spoons, shallow puddles of water.. can be used to kill people ad nauseam isn’t a logical argument. Sovereign nations arm and protect themselves with guns for a reason.

So the US has a massive problem with mentally unhealthy people? More mentally ill per capita than comparable countries?
I’d say it’s more likely the proliferation of firearms that’s behind all the shooting. The difference in culture isn’t the mental illness, it’s the guns.
It is not nice nor accurate to lump those that suffer mental illness in with mass killers.

I think they teach that Babylon fell in 1919 or some bullshit. It is only when Babylon is destroyed that the GT is suppose to begin.

Simple Question:Why Won’t JWs Just Report Child Abuse As The Law Requires?
by minimus ini just don’t get it.
it would make their life so much easier!.

I believe some transparency about their records would reveal they have encouraged a child abuse problem to flourish by appointing accused men to positions of authority. They’ve had elders, no doubt they’ve had CO’s and bethel heavies that got promotions despite some sick history.

I wasn’t being deliberately crass that’s just how it is, philosophical and religious bullshit aside, living things require feeding and the ability to reproduce.
It’s not like humans are particularly brutal or murderous in the modern age. As a species we are actually getting better. Meanwhile our closest relatives like the chimps and orangutans rip each other apart, and eat the victims, raping innocent amphibious animals. Gods wonderful creations.

A Cult Tactic: Removing Guilt By Dehumanising Others
by pale.emperor inin the real world, very few parents would disown their own children simply because they read a magazine that told them to do it.
very few people would forever completely ignore their own parents because an elder got up on a platform one day and announced that they no longer follow the same religion as you.. in the real world it just doesn't happen.
and yet, for 8 million jehovah's witnesses it's very a normal part of their world to treat "other people" differently than they'd treat each other.

I absolutely don't compare shunning with genocide, no.
But the psychological tactics used to induce people to shun are precisely the same as those used to induce people to accept genocide.
Precisely. This is well documented about cult members. Many cults walk a very thin line between harmless and extremely damaging due to this level of psychological control.
