  August KM provides solid evidence of declining JW morale

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as you may or may not recall, the february '07 km (for the us) had a huge article, taking up the full 4 page insert, on the "blessings" of auxiliary pioneering.

  the part covering that insert took up the entire service meeting (aside form the announcements).

  the "encouragement" was that the us branch had set a goal of 160,000 auxiliary pioneers for the month of april ("if only one of every 6 publishers signs up, we can make it!")..

  "I remember the year they presented it as if on a menu, hoping that people would select the schedule the way they would select a meal off a menu."
  
  Man, I remember that. It was so silly that it became too obvious for people to see.

  I just would like JW lurkers to understand that this is all about information control.
  
  It doesn't make sense at all. Imagine this: JWs tell the world JWs have a life saving information, and then they go to extremes such as this to hide that information.
  
  Just think about it for a moment: what is good for the Witnesses should be good for non-Witnesses people. If it is not, there is something fishy about it.
  
  Read 1984 by George Orwells and you'll see the similarites with the Tower.

  since my mental departure from the organization, i'm still trying to wrap my mind around the entire concept of freedom.

  now that i don't have so many restraints as a result of being in the org, such as mental, and time restraints, i can't help but be happy!

  there is so much that i want to accomplish in life now and i know that now it's possible.

  I had the same feeling too. The feeling of "I lost a lot of time and now I want to accomplish things. Where do I start?"

  It feels great, doesn't it?

  If I handed in a paper like that ... I'd fail!

  by Frequent_Fader_Miles in

  something always bugged me about the society's publications.

  they'd always use phrases like "many persons do this" or "one expert says", or "many believe".

  the person being referred to or quoted is always veiled in obscurity.

  Exactly. They do that all the time. It used to upset me too. Things such as "in a certain asian country..." or "an officer in a african country said that...".

  What the heck????

  Hello RubyParker, What a wonderful idea! You sound like an intelligent, reasonable, articulated individual, precisely what it takes to make such a movie. It was about time a serious, professional grade film was produced on the JW shunning issue. I am absolutely ecstatic. Thank you and good luck. Observador.

  it is understandable how someone who has been a jehovahs witness .

  for a number of years could become complacent and except their lot in life.
