Mind control is the core catalyst cults like the JWS use onto people propagated mostly by fear and power and yes there are wholesome living directions within those controls but you can find those outside of rigid religoius indoctrination.

So the elders gave my 19 year old daughter a shepharding call depression ensues!
by nowwhat? inagainst our wishes she got baptised at 16 because she got brainwashed by her cousin.
the last year or so she hasn't been so gung ho about the "truth".
anyway the elders came down on her for not getting her time in the last couple months because she absolutely hates zoom letter writing.

They are more concerned about numbers than the actual person!
Correct thats the WTS indirectly pushing their literature distribution to the greater public.
Hours and the accumulative counting of those hours is measure of the congregation's spiritual strength and to each individual member.
The Watchtower Corporation (WTS) devised its doctrines around the organization's literature proliferation.
When COs attend congregations they look at the publishing hours, placements as well bible studies, those counted items are taken as a measure of how spiritually strong the congregation is.
So from that it creates an understanding to why elders push individuals to go out in service,
Everything connects in one way or another in the JW religion. (Publishing Cult)

Is There a Higher Conscious
by LetTheTruthBeKnown inmost of the individuals here from what i have read have gravitated to believing in evolution for various reasons and no longer have a belief in a creator.. the questions begs though, is there a higher conscious in the universe than mankind's.
i am sure everyone agrees that animals are conscious, but to what extent can they reason?.

The structured morals of Jesus Christ were made up by men in their imagination of what a Messianic savior would be, one might say out of human consciousness.

John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
.......but the word(s) came from men, should we always place faith and trust in the words of men even if they say the word(s) are from god ?

Can we honesty say the laws of nature have an inherent conscious ?
Humans appear to have a higher level of consciousness over most animals due to are brain size, it even avails us to imagine who or how the world was created to all of which we see and experience.

Poll/ So Who Do You Think Will Win The Presidency?
by minimus ini have always felt trump will win again.
i just don’t see biden winning.. what’s your prediction?.
-

Mr.Finkelstein
Maybe the American public like their Presidents immoral, corrupt and slightly stupid, I guess will find out Nov. 3. ?
I still think Biden (D) will edge out Trump (R) this round.
Unfortunately this election will be more about who the public doesn't want in office rather about proposed policies and thats kind of sad in itself.

The Re-Opening of the Kingdom Halls
by LetTheTruthBeKnown init's been six months since the kingdom halls have been closed.
i believe here in ontario, canada that you are now allowed to have up to 50 people congregate together.. that was the average attendance before they did all the merging of the congregations.
they should have went back to the original pre-merger congregations.

Good point Slim .
The JWS is another situation different from those religions because the JWS act more like a high controlling socialized cult.
After awhile though the shutting down of Kingdom Halls and the lack of the association within those Halls could have an effect toward the active membership within congregations over time.

Ok, We Need To Talk About The Latest Caleb & Sophia Cartoon
by pale.emperor in(as of 10 sep 2020) there's a new caleb & sophia cartoon in which the org puts into the minds of children the idea that celebrating a birthday will cause jehovah to not want to be your friend anymore.. https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/children/become-jehovahs-friend/videos/trailer-jehovah-forgives/.
can you imagine being 6 years old and thinking god himself is no longer your friend because you blew out a candle on a birthday cake or wished someone a happy birthday?.
as bad as all this is, the birthday thing is just one of many jw rules that isnt even supported by scripure.
-

Mr.Finkelstein
Jehovah will burn these children to death for celebrating a birthday.
These days its a tradition of expressing love and respect toward someone .
You dont want to instigate children to do that would you now ?
Birthday celebrations to what we see today came from the traditions of Christianity and the celebration of Christ's birthday.
The corrupt WTS/JWS theologians never seem to mention that, they just say it originated in pagan practices before Christ was born which may be true.

Could the WTS sell off all kingdom Halls and become a full time Zoom religion complete with back room counseling and Disflellowshipping ?
The WTS/JWorg is very money greedy these days so this could happen in certain areas stay tuned folks
