  Just wonder if Prince knew TTATT. Seems that someone like him that used the media would at least use it once in a while to do some research... http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-prince-jehovah-20160424-story.html

  my lds, long-time, friend sent me article at www.pinktruth.com -- adult children of dysfunctional families: the perfect recruiting pool for the mlm industries.

  it's a good read how people are automatic victims to mary kay cosmetics -- makes perfect sense.

  makes more sense they're easy prey to cults thus the success of watchtower and mormonism.

  These businesses appeal to those who want to do part time work, with full time money. I remember in the 80,s Amway,avon, tupperware, and another company that sold 1 oz gold coins for $200 each. Today when someone mentions they are working part time and want to use your house for a demonstration location, run like the devil away from them...

  On JT,s web site Critical Thought he talks about counting all the money collected and how it is double checked, but who ever audits the main Org, the IRS? Is there a secretary that monitors the money coming and going, just to keep everyone honest?

  my spouse is getting more and more annoying ever since they starting encourageing use of their videos. She just found out how to use technology and plays them constantly on her smart phone to no one,s delight but her. Bought her some headphones, but thinks others around her would like to hear the gibberish so doesn't use them often.

  The real reason so many witnesses end up here....

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why do so many witnesses end up coming to forums like this?.

  no doubt it is because of the fact that the society disallows any form of sincere questioning of teachings or doctrines or history etc.... if there was open discussion allowed - free of repercussions and punishment, then no one would feel stifled.

  if genuine concerns could be raised, then no one would feel smothered or unable to share thoughts... then in turn many would not leave.... but due to the high control, authoritarian culture the society has created, many feel trapped, and end up searching outside of official channels...and leaving the society.....

  Kingdom Hall Attenders: Consider Stopping the Use of Loaded Language

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it's been a long time since i attended, but i understand that many of you still go to the kingdom hall for your various reasons.. a huge thing that helped me in my mentally breaking from their beliefs was to stop using their terms that put you, virtually automatically, into their thought mode.. using terms like "the truth," jw's feel special about themselves and this helps them separate themselves from "the world.

  " by incorporating loaded language, jw's learn not to think, but merely to memorize words and phrases instead of analyzing a situation.. the reasons someone misses meetings is because they are "spiritually weak.

  " they might be involved in "worldly thinking.".

  Tech49 on DC: Experiences are not truthful

  by Tech49 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was sent a link to a homemade video from our summer district convention, not the one i attended, but the next weekend.

  it was a video of a local brother, relating his "experience" of "trusting in jehovah", and how he was blessed.. it was just about 1 short minute long.

  ms harper showed it to me first, she wanted to get my comment on it before she said a word.. background: we both know this brother, he is about our age, so we know the "real" story.. anyways, his story goes like this: this experience goes back about 10 years (jeez, we must be really searching for the experiences now!).

  So many stories are blatantly made up in each Watchtower, made to fit each paragraph . Example, Chantell in France relates..., Paul in Australia says..., with each study you will find at least 4 stories with only the first name quoted because they know they are making it all up. But this has been going on in Christendom a long time, just look at all the Televangelist that will heal you for a donation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAlJRP1W_rU&list=PLAB71C36466B5D487&index=9
