  JWTALK Bob Comes Up With A Classic

  the guy everyone loves to hate, bob, has come up with a classic:.

  redefining the concept of "critical thinking" when it comes to jws.. he quite correctly states the need to use critical thinking when reading the bible, yet we all know that pimi jws don't have the first clue what "critical thinking" really means, especially on a thread fawning over how great the gb are and guessing who will be presenting the next jwb!.

  the link to the actual comment is:.

  Jehovah's Witnesses: shame and domination

  by john.prestor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i want to suggest something that i've been ruminating on for a while now.

  that involves the possibility that when jehovah's witnesses look for "sheep-like ones" what they're actually looking for is this: those who will allow themselves to be dominated (get rid of things that god "hates," accept the movement's beliefs without protest, not check into the movement's history) and those who are willing to be shamed (letting jehovah's witnesses into their homes when doing so is looked down upon in secular society, talking with them on the street when everyone else avoids them).. i say this because from what i observed at the kingdom halls i attended in the course of gathering data for my research i saw:.

  -frequent shaming: jehovah's witnesses must do more to be acceptable to god, they are "good for nothing slaves," they are spared through armageddon by jehovah's "undeserved kindness," etc.

  Sheep can actually be quite nasty when cornered. Keep pushing them GB and eventually they will snap!

  They are just imitating their GB leaders who spread lies about any ex members and try and smear their reputation.

  Not in the real world, Bob. If your old workmates are shunning you it's because you're a dick.
  

  Love this comment Pale. I completely agree on everything you said in your post. He & TPT would be the perfect match for each other!

  How the Watchtower and Big Tobacco conspired to propaganda techniques to survive the exposure of their dangers

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the tobacco industry held in thrall millions of addicted smokers for decades with an almost endless litany of false claims reinforced by propaganda and bad science.it is informative and eye-opening to examine this brilliant but insidious strategy.1.

  exploiting controversy the tobacco team focused on "conflicts of interest" to create a distraction and exploit mistrust so nicotine addicts own confirmation bias would work in their favor.

  this strategy of producing scientific uncertainty undercut public health efforts and regulatory interventions designed to reduce the harms of smoking.the watchtower easily did the same thing by exploiting the confusing doctrine of the trinity and pointing to the corrupt history of the catholic church.

  Thanks Slim.

  Interestingly the initials for the company spell out PMI (physically, mentally in).

  Both PMI & WT (and TPT 3rd for that matter) are responsible for a heck of a lot of lost lives. Tony with his supposed war action then later with his harmful WT doctrine being taught as God’s own truth).

  Speaking of Tobacco, Tight Pants Tony is the grandson of the founder of the biggest tobacco company in the world I believe.
