i was really overjoyed to hear a 10 year old in the hall say this the other day.
she was sitting behind us and whispered to her mum during the meeting:.
"so mummy, why are we supposed to be happy when jehovah kills people, including my friends at school?
Such innocence what a shame it is going to be corrupted by bunch Corporation CEOs into Listening Obeying and be Blessed(by Coporate standards) by not being disfellowshipped.
Anthony Morris seems to be heading up a move to capture these innocent youths minds into Corporation servitude as mindless lackeys for the Corporations slave labor crews.
well i'm sure we can come up with clever comments that make people feel uncomfortable by serving to decompartmentalize things that have been compartmentalized in the thinking of the average jw.
or comments that make the cognitive dissonance stand out plainly, these have to be said in innocent manner and with an apparent obliviousness to the contradiction.

we are hearing reports of this promotion of the website by the jw and it seems to be a resource for them to dodge questions of their faith, when they don't have or want to give an answer to a question they direct the house holder to the organization/corporation's website to get the answer as if it really existed.there.. i think soon they are going to drop the door to door work all together as completely unprofitable, i mean their donation arrangement is a complete flop and has cost them i'm sure so they are in the process of shipping as many as they can into building up real estate for the corporation, because that is where the money is right now.. the whole jw.org is just a complete failure as a source of good information and only scare away people except the most vulnerable/gullible.. .

"we may get instructions that don't make sense or they may defy logic, but we must be obedient to the faithful slave if we want to survive.".
all i could think about was that these were the same kind of people that would have gulped down the kool aid at jonestown without hesitation.. pardon the language, but what the actual f**k?
even when i wasn't a doubter and bought in to the organization, it was always with a view to what was in line with scripture.

Compartmentalization is an unconscious psychological defense mechanism used to avoid cognitive dissonance, or the mental discomfort and anxiety caused by a person's having conflicting values, cognitions, emotions, beliefs, etc. within themselves.
Compartmentalization allows these conflicting ideas to co-exist by inhibiting direct or explicit acknowledgement and interaction between separate compartmentalized self states.[1]

How about raising hand and adding this to the comment:
Because of this scenario in the future the Governing Body is gearing us up towards absolute obedience even now perhaps by giving some orders which appear no practical such as the ban on higher education. This may seem impractical to some and some elders have been removed thus making way for the complete obedience that will be needed in the future.
the movie american sniper is breaking box office records and of course there is some irony that a movie about a sniper is released on martin luther king day (who was shot by one).. but of course there is a world of difference between an assassin and a military sniper ... or is there?.
some are making a big stink about it and claiming that "snipers are cowards".
it seems unfair to me.
They have a saying:"All is fair in love and war" which in the big picture seems to be true. Hopefully one day we will adopt better means and ways to solve conflicts that match up with our increased technology.
I was drawn into the PTSD that was being portrayed in the flick and could relate to it as my father suffered from violent out burst which no doubt was caused by PTSD when I was growing up. Anyway I wish they had spent more time with recovery of the PTSD in the film. War is a last resort option in my mind and all other means should be exhausted before using this option to solve issues. I think the possibility or potential is there but we will have to just wait and see but perhaps not in our lifetime but who knows.
if they are this happy, why do they keep taking down this video?

They are happy now in their delusions about the future and the great reward they are going to receive, they are in the dream stage of wishful thinking and approaching the nightmare stage.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wishful_thinking
Christopher Booker described wishful thinking in terms of
“the fantasy cycle” ... a pattern that recurs in personal lives, in politics, in history – and in storytelling. When we embark on a course of action which is unconsciously driven by wishful thinking, all may seem to go well for a time, in what may be called the “dream stage”. But because this make-believe can never be reconciled with reality, it leads to a “frustration stage” as things start to go wrong, prompting a more determined effort to keep the fantasy in being. As reality presses in, it leads to a “nightmare stage” as everything goes wrong, culminating in an “explosion into reality”, when the fantasy finally falls apart.[3]
apologies if this has already been posted but i am speechless.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnbmyudrwgs&x-yt-ts=1422327029&x-yt-cl=84838260#t=72.
I feel sorry for all these dupes who have been manipulated by the WT corporation to work for free and when they get old (according to the 'Vow of Poverty' that they are required to sign) have no pension and will be thrown to the curb as no longer useful or profitable to the slave driving Corporation to fend for themselves in poverty.
They maybe dancing and acting like clowns now but in 20 or 30 years they will be singing the blues with out a nickle in their pockets and still waiting for the no show 1000 year reign of Christ.
They really need to take more seriously the finacial trouble the GB have gotten the Corporation in with all these child molestation lawsuits pay out and the general ineptitude of the GB CEOs to steer this Corporation to profitablity leading to a1000 man lay off for all the old timers at bethel and the forced retirement of over the hill Circuit Overseers that are forced to receive hand outs and rely on the charity of the Jws in their locality.
It sorta reminds me of the illustration of what I used to hear in public talks at the Kingdom Hall about getting better accommodations on the Titanic as it was sinking to the bottom of the sea.
