  They don't really care much about the people who don't live in less affluent countries. I bet you if you made a graph of how many ppl buy WT publications in North America versus Africa you would see a bit of a spike for the US, and the graph would drop for Africa.

  It's simply a matter of profitability - just like most corporations today, with the current state of the world economy, they are tightening their belts a bit.

  The thing that sucks the most is that I once lived in an area where the Zulu awake was distributed, and I even witnessed (argh) to Zulu people, and they were the nicest, friendliest people you could possibly imagine. Thank God this way fewer of them will be seduced.

  I have a feeling that very few JWs are going to be watching it...the whole Society will receive 'special announcements' and 'new light' (hehe, no pun intended) about the program, and all publishers will be instructed not to watch it. Their programming is so powerful that I doubt that more than 10% of the JWs to whom this will be directly broadcasted will actually watch it, and even then they will just think that it's Apostate bullshit.

  Flower, have you ever wondered why nobody is allowed to ASK QUESTIONS during the Watchtower study? Or during the book study? Because what will happen if the mighty elders get asked a question they can't answer?

  It's all rote programming - 'repetition for emphasis!'. Eventually, even the silliest of WT beliefs will get hardwired into your brain for you by all the mindless repetition of the same thing, over and over. You are feeling sleepy...1...2...3...you are now under the WT's control!

  Isn't that a scary thought? That somebody else is making your decisions FOR YOU???

  You're welcome to go back to the KH. Now that you've opened Pandora's box, it will never be the same again for you to sit in a meeting, knowing what you know, seeing all those poor people being brainwashed again.

  On a lighter note, remember that the last thing that left Pandora's box was a little something called HOPE. Use that hope, feel it in your bones, and you will realize that nobody in the WT really has any left. Yes, they are sheep indeed, blindly following a bunch of old guys (who are mostly just as brainwashed as they are) in Brooklyn. Do you want to share in that? Go ahead, my dear, go ahead.

  You have to break free of your programming! Take up a hobby - anything will do - just distract yourself, let your mind heal the scars, give it a bit of time to itself so that it can rid itself of all the programming, and you will soon feel much better.

  I'm with Frenchy...they'll just pull the ole "Satan drove them to it" trick out of the hat if needs be; but I doubt they will ever publicly comment on anything of that nature in any case (apart from denials, of course!)

  >> JW women are the horniest women on the planet. They ain't getting any. I've told you all before that in my younger days, attendance at a circuit or district assembly was nothing but one big fuck-o-rama. Had to rest up for a week before and a week after each one, or I'd have been a dead man.

  Damn, Francios, you are fucking funny! *ROFL*

  we are sitting at lunch when my friend casually mentions that she and her husband are thinking of "starting a family".

  "we're taking a survey," she says, half-joking.

  "do you think i should have a baby?

  Wowee! Did you write that C2F? If you did, you are an ace writer!

  I really didn't have an inkling of the level of emotional involvement of a woman with her child until I read this...it's been an educational experience.

  Sometimes, it sucks having Y chromosomes!
