Warwick Building Project Fluff Stories
by bruh2012 intalking about an article that makes you want to throw-up in your mouth- wt-study jan 15, 2015 the offered themselves willingly.. amazing the psych job of selling your business, moving your entire family, quiting your job to be a "temporary" worker at the new world headquarters!.
throw your livelyhood away only to get the "feeling" that jehovahs is blessing you!
i wish there was away to track the psych job during patterson and other major projects of what happened to all the "friends" that sold and got rid of their livelyhood then and where are they now.. did you ever sacrifce it all for a building project only to be left with nothing after your "spiritual high"?.

The REAL purpose of the new 1914 explanation video...
by Calebs Airplane inwhen a dub starts to question an elder about this doctrine (at the kh, field circus or wherever), the elder will only need to utter these words: "just watch the video".... .

Unfortunatly the video explained nothing and is not available to anyone other than elders. Also the format was a pup in service talking to a rv. It was clearly a test run for future demos. It Was very well received locally and i think we will see more but obviously not to show to doubters

is the big show on 1914 at Service Meeting evidence of factions in the GB?
by Wasanelder Once insometimes the gb do end runs around each other, as when freddie franz didn't agree with the whole governing body concept and spoke against it at the gilead graduation.
could this video/demonstration at the service meeting tonight on why they believe in 1914 and how to explain it to others be an effort to bolster that belief because there is a challange coming against it by factions within?
i guess we can't really tell but i wouldn't put it past the boneheads running the society.

Actually there was no discussion of the end being close associated with it. Sir82 summerized it perfectly. Basic boaring and stupid as sin

Actually the video is really dumbed down and presents a house holder/witness scene. He uses the november wt chart but it sooooo basic and condecending

There is a link but i am unable to make it work for anyone else and im not sure why yet. There may be a token attached to it that makes it device specific, or maybe im just a total idiot. Its being worked on by top men.
Who?
Top. Men.

What I really fear about JW.ORG
by StarTrekAngel inmuch has been written, twitted and youtubed about the extent to which the wtbts may go in order to keep its members from peeking out of the box.
from name calling, constantly telling members about the dangers of apostasy, all the way to dfing anyone who dares to look outside.
many tools and theories have been brought forward.

i whole heartedly agree with the web site being a way to erase history for the org. No more pesky printed mags to haunt them 20 years from now!
as for using your history against you.... I dont see it. To much like work. They dont care about random pub "X" in bum screw england going apostate. Its not worth the drama to track down and then try to form a judicial (which is all they can try anyway) with no witnesses.... Na. Not the likely outcome or even a reasonable conclusion. Now to use similar means to track down elders who leak info..... Maybe worth the effort eventually, but i question how much they even care about that...

"You never made Jehovah REAL to you"
by Black Man inthat was a statement from my dyed-in-the-wool jw pioneer mother in trying to analyze why i faded and left the jws.
my answer was to say: "if i have to make something real to me, chances are it wasn't real to begin with.
" .

Thats really rather presumptuous. How could she possibly know what was real to you or not...? As others have noted its a defense mechanism, a way to justify why someone left And to rationalize their staying.
