I say ancient books written 1 ,2,3,4,or 5 thousand years ago all the way back to when mankind as a species started writing down things down in stone, clay and what have you, should have a meaning that was possible for that time period. So I say leave it to those having degrees in anthropology to tell what a text might mean, excluding any religious biases that tend to limit ones power of observation as JWs readily show blunts understanding reality.

Has the Bible been redacted so that YAHWEH can be promoted to EL's position as Almighty God?
by I_love_Jeff infor background, read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/yahweh, the section, "iron age i: el, yahweh, and the origins of israel.
" "el and his sons made up the assembly of the gods, each member of which had a human nation under his care, and a textual variant of deuteronomy 32:8–9 describes the sons of el, including yahweh, each receiving his own people.
"el, the kind, the compassionate,' 'the creator of creatures,' was the chief of the canaanite gods, and he, not yahweh, was the original 'god of israel'—the word 'israel' is based on the name el rather than yahweh.

What Is Brain Washing?
by Brokeback Watchtower ini don't think this applies to the watchtower corporation as the beginning this is talking about the more extreme forms.
but interesting just the same.
i'm sure we see some of the wt's depictions of death and and destruction(verbal and in pictures) that awaits those not in corporate "jehovah's" favor, a clear uses of inducing maximum fear and stress to make the mind more suggestable to corporate directives.

Yeah throw the fear of God into them and then flood their neurons with Watchtower Corporation propaganda 5 meetings a week and lots of field service selling their product to enslave their readership into abject corporation servitude. That's AM#3 attitude for their members,,, forbid all kinds of bull shit dress types that corporate 'Jehovah' finds disgusting, and forbid self gradification by masturbation included.
Keep the brainwashed R&F in servitude to corporation 'Jehovah' seems to be his idea of loyalty to a worthy cause WT's and bring praise to his great imaginary friend in the sky.

Major changes to convention security beginning in 2017
by Edison Trent inshort info on interesting changes to the major conventions this year: there will be a new security concept that will be implemented at all regional conventions in 2017.. similar to other major events (e.g.
festivals, concerts), there will be admittance controls in stadiums.. - at each entrance, there will be a massive presence of attendants that look at each visitor.. - there will be pocket checks at the entrance.. - suspicious persons are no longer left on the convention grounds.. - suppliers to the stadium will be intensively inspected by attendants.. - there will be a special sign for attendants that must enter the stadium before 7.30 am.
all others (even all attendants) can only enter after 7.30 am..

I wonder what would happen if a person had any apostate book in their book bag like from Ray Franz or something would they be refused entry?

Suffering And The Meaning Of Life
by Brokeback Watchtower inwhat is the meaning of life?
we all die, so what is the meaning.
religion tries to bridge the gap with absolutist answers to this problem of existence by giving immortality to it's members in good standing(so join us or parish).helps to pay the bills using fear of annihilation to keep members as a source of material $$uport.

Why does death equal meaningless?
I think meaningless because no matter what you do in life can have eternal universal meaning if you die and are gone from the matrix and it is from the individual perspective. Where as religions teach everlasting life gives meaning or a goal in life to strive for and so adds meaning to that persons life. That is my guess.

"Brain washing" is considered complete when the subject follows the demands of the controller even when that party is no longer present or even dead. A person who is "brain washed" may not be able to function as normally as before even after deprogramming.
You are talking about extreme forms of brain washing along the lines of Pavlov dog experiment and so the term 'brain washing' referring to that form may also depending of the context and education of the person may simply be the zombie of a religions experience programmed by a controlling pastor.

I wonder if some good data on mind control can be used in a court of law to make the WT financially vulnerable to numerous lawsuit from every angle and it harmful use of disfellowshipping individuals emotionally. I think the day is coming as society becomes more enlightened about harm such brainwashing has on people or how evil it can be while being used by a charitable organization that hides behind religious freedom, who's bottom line is profits no matter who it harms/kills.
