Keep in mind that Satan does not want you to think clearly or reason things out well. Why? Because propaganda “is likely to be most effective,” says one source, “if people . . . are discouraged from thinking critically.” (Media and Society in the Twentieth Century) So never be content passively or blindly to accept what you hear. (Prov. 14: 15) Use your God-given thinking abilities and power of reason to make the truth your own.—Prov. 2:10-15; Rom. 12:1,

Wow, I can't believe they would be so bold or stupid as to say this, it fit them to a tee not Satan but the Watchtower corporation's hatred for critical thinking and higher education.

It is quite a stretch to believe in an invisible boogie man and think that he is behind all the worlds news media and legal systems when they mention some scandal about the Watchtower printing corporation.

Is Satan Real ?

by jdash in

i've been pondering on this question for awhile now, and i'm starting to think this malevolent spirit creature isn't real.

.

do you guys believe satan is real?

For all you denialists play on a Ouija board for an hour and see what happens.

And so are you say playing Ouija board will give you proof that he exist? BTW I played the board when I was around 14, and it told me the name of my future wife, the age I would be married and how many card games I was going to win, which all came true, but I don't see it as proof of Satan's existence.

Ayahuasca The Soul Herb

by new boy in

i'm writing this tread for the people out there that are still looking for some kind of answers.

people who feel the void that any organized thought system can produce.

people who know there is more to this life than our daily routine which eventually will end, when we no longer exist.

Annual Meeting 2017—Talks and Adjustments to the Ministry

by Zeds Dead in

just watched this video on dub broadcasting website under latest videos.. the tony morris part about 18 mins into the video where he takes forever sermonizing about "seeking out ones rightly disposed to everlasting life" he goes on and on about it and then finally says "the gb have decided that there will only be 3 magazines a year for the public and no year books anymore".

firstly there must be some active dubbers asking why it took forever just to say that and secondly why another cut back?.

seems like the whole thing is just about the website now..

Brokeback Watchtower

All these cut backs going on are under the organization's guiding power of Holy Spirit. Jehovah's had enough of warning mankind to straighten up and fly right and he's getting ready to trample the grapes of wrath with his huge feet. In fact I even think he wants to make this batch of Governing Body all homeless and begging in the street he is that pissed off(at leasts that's what my little imaginary Jehovo is thinking (eat your heart out AM#3).

It means they are dumping the printing business because it is a no money maker, and are now almost wholly in the real estate business based on how to sell them Kingdom Halls in order to pay for the lawsuits around the globe.

I see less meeting requirements and combining of congregations to keep apace till the last one gets sold. The CEOs running this clap trap should be trying to bail with golden parachutes.

Slang or Terms Only Used by Bethelities

by new boy in

jw
friends

there are many terms used at bethel that might sound foreign to normal people.

there are many words or terms used at bethel that are unique only to their organization.

here are just a few of them.. “a jack” this is someone who is a slacker or just lazy.. “a pot licker” this term has been used for many years but its connotation is unclear.

Brokeback Watchtower

Bethel Heavy I remember my roommate used the term I was pretty ablivious to the term back then in the mid seventies, as I was one of the ones that left on the mayflower(June actually) I thought it better to get the hell out of there because I couldn't see myself with no money after 10 0r 20 years of servitude to the corporation getting disfellowshipped and kicked out into the world to make a living so I left while I was only 23 and able to start up a new life all be it still under the control of the Watchtower Corporation.

My roommate still kept up reaching out for Bethel heavy many years after I left I wonder what happened to him his name was John Parham from San Antonio Texas if I remember correctly I roomed with him in the 124 building with a picture window view of the Manhattan skyline during the last 6 months of my stay. The picture below is much more silvery blue during the day time to my eye. I wish him well were ever he may be.

BE WISE—ALWAYS LISTEN TO JEHOVAH

Have you ever watched a film in which, from your vantage point in the audience, you can clearly see that someone is being deceived and manipulated? Did you find yourself thinking: ‘Do not believe it! They are lying to you!’ Imagine, then, the angels shouting the same message to you: “Do not be fooled by Satan’s lies!”

Shut your ears, then, to Satan’s propaganda. (Prov. 26:24, 25) Listen to Jehovah and trust in him in all that you do. (Prov. 3:5-7) Respond to his loving appeal: “Be wise, my son, and make my heart rejoice.” (Prov. 27:11) Then, you will win the battle for your mind!

Yes tune out anything negative about the Watchtower printing corporation and just trust us or else face the ugly specter of being disfellowshipped as an apostate and only get your facts and information from us because the whole world is under Satan's control.

DO NOT ALLOW YOUR CONFIDENCE TO BE UNDERMINED

A soldier whose loyalty to his leader is weakened will not fight well. So propagandists attempt to break bonds of confidence and trust between a soldier and his commander. They may use such propaganda as: “You cannot trust your leaders!” and “Do not let them lead you into disaster!” To add weight to these attacks, they may cleverly exploit any mistakes those leaders might make. Satan does this. He never gives up trying to undermine your confidence in the leadership that Jehovah has provided.

I think this is about as as close as you can get to the Governing Body admitting they "might" have made errors by the statement "they may cleverly exploit any mistakes those leader "might" make"

Brokeback Watchtower

What is propaganda? In this context, it is the use of biased or misleading information to manipulate the way people think and act. Some equate propaganda with “lies, distortion, deceit, manipulation, mind control, [and] psychological warfare” and associate it with “unethical, harmful, and unfair tactics.”—Propaganda and Persuasion.

And Never should we conclude that the Watchtower would ever use such tactics
