  Religion shouldfill a need. Instead they are telling you what you need.

  and religion seeks to fill its own need...

  like that WT "suggested" per-publisher monthly donation racket. 💰

  That looks like a basic WT utility tool.... possibly a model for use by teachers in other languages being developed within WT translation.

  English is King.

  Family division

  1. social
  2. family

  the worst part of my experience of getting rid of the shackles of wt is not the shunning.

  i can live with that.

  if people don't want to talk to me, there are many more who do!

  TV and the Media

  i look at tv and the media as all fiction.. i wonder if the media is now just a tool to cauterise the brain and zombify us?

  i'm sure the uk's bbc does.

  it seems to be a tool to brainwash people to buy into latest agenda or trend that must be followed.....or you're an outcast like a disfellowshipped one.

  Well done. That is an effective tactic to disable the JW elder playbook... do not let them mobilise on you!

  also... WT big bellies are probably getting stuck with handling all the petty chores at the KH, such as sprinting microphones and post-meeting sanitising.

  After four months (April-July) getting stuck with all the KH grunt work, the elites want the younger/fit ones back at the KH to perform those chores.

  "Description

  Enjoy a fifty year odyssey of one person’s journey into the bowels of the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, otherwise known as the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Living at the world headquarters of this organization became so surreal and crazy that many there could only leave the insanity by way suicide. How has this same organization, been instrumental in the death, suicides and insanity of thousands of people, many of whom are not even Jehovah’s Witnesses? Find out what devastating tool this organization uses, to keep over eight million of their followers in line with their teachings and policies. Why do millions of their drone-like followers knock on doors every week looking for new converts? Find out why these people want you to join them in their soon to be paradise Earth. A paradise that can only take place after their god Jehovah kills off the vast majority of the Earth’s population. This end of the World carnage they are in anticipation of will of course kill off all nonbelievers but will even include many of their own family members! Find out what devastating problem could be the complete demise of the Jehovah’s Witness organization and is costing their organization millions of dollars every year. Keith Casarona has written a telling account of his life, in and out of the Jehovah’s Witnesses organization. Alternately humorous and painful, it is and intriguing educational read. —Jack Sutton"
