The org advertises, recruits, controls and damages it's own hosts in a mission of self-replication - utilising bent speech and lies to exist in the lives of others - having no life of it's own, but rather, a design to use others, without a self-awareness - what is that?

Why is it so - is it a social virus - or a stop-gap for a certain need ?

Why ?
- it's obvious - and sobering to watch - prompts to consider what the wrath of God actually is

The New Order
by WTWizard inthere is so much talk among the witlesses about the "new" order.
they can't wait until it comes up, and they talk about how much they need it.
they think it is going to come about via god's eliminating wickedness, and that they will be happy there.. however, that is all a blatant lie.

It really is the same as the Nazis - once all the people identified as being the problem with how things are become known and killed, then the correct society of people will live rightly happy ever after - even get to take over the homes and 'stuff' of the "wicked".
Everybody who dissents, who doesn't tow the line (or isn't willing to work on the front line!), even people who don't look the part, and those who happen to misfortunate enough to be children of "the wicked" - are all up for extermination.
Then the right society, led (without question) by the proper and 'magically' appointed deserving leaders will walk with their heads high in their earthly paradise.

The mind balks at accepting it's measure
by A Paduan inan interesting saying i heard the other day .
that the mind balks at accepting knowledge of great and irrevocable loss, though it be true.
it had me ponder how / why people make themselves stay as jws, and why "apostates" are such "bad association".

The Narrow Road
by zack inthe wts claims that the narrow road christ spoke of was the "one true" religion that many would forsake in exchange for all the "false" religions which are.
are "permissive" and teach "god dishonring lies.".
i always accepted this as a dub.. do any of you think it is possible that the "narrow" road is in fact the abandoning of all man made religious systems and the taking on for one self.

It's a road - not a side track or a dead end paddock rut (like the jw way?)
It's less travelled than than the way of the world, which is about earning and deserving and 'ownership' and works, where people earn their passage along the road
This road is a different way - it's one of grace, giving and fore-giving - a narrower road, but it is a road

Luke 21:8
Take heed that you are not led astray; for many will come in my name, saying, `I am he!' and, `The time is at hand!' Do not go after them.
The wtbts stands out by their claim that they also are the Christ.
And didn't they even write a book called 'The time is at hand' ?

I'm sure that I've read or seen a jw teaching about making sure you don't drink a drop of poison ie. from another source/religion, whereas scripture appears to portray something very contrary - is there such a teaching ?

- Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
- Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?
- I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it
- No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
- Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
- No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage
