The Governing Body and Modern Man's World How Do They Do It?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

i mean how can these guys run a corporation and make good policies when they are so deluded and hide the fact from themselves and their readers?.

ok sure they got a legal department but they are all brain washed just like the gb, and these guys think that every decision they make is jehovah's come on they are so out of touch with reality how can they every make good policy that is truley good?

even when they are deceiving and coniving they are making blunder all over the place because they are old and deluded and full of shit..

Brokeback Watchtower

Yes but what makes me feel so surprised is that they continually operate from a delusional base filled with grandiose feelings of superiority and ignorance. Such a system can not deal with the changes happening in the world as each move is a mistake or based on wishful thinking. I think we all know the eventual outcome of a course based on wishful thinking when reality sets in at the nightmare stage.

I really think the GB are not up to what the future has in store for their delusion that they are running Jehovah's earthly organization.

Flash Mob at the Kingdom Hall

by wisdomfrombelow in

jw
friends

wouldn't it be interesting if dozens of people showed up at a kingdom hall as part of a flash mob, not being disorderly, but to make a statement.

maybe all raising their hands on a particular question and giving a "real comment" instead of restating the paragraph.

or they could all leave if when one of the paragraphs says "internet bad...ignorance good".

Pick some real good music and party! Like "losing my religion", " Liar" "Eli"s Coming"

Tight Pants Tony goes to see the psychiatrist

by Half banana in

psychiatrist: so what position do you hold tony?.

tight pants tony: strictly only the missionary position, any other position is the work of satan........ oh!

sorry, i thought you meant... never mind, its the way yous guys speak, it cracks me up!

Brokeback Watchtower

Hey can somebody make a picture of tight pants tony wearing some girly tight fitting clothes laying on a psychiatrist couch playing with himself while telling the analyst about some of his sexual fantasies he has for some young good looking itailian bethelites where they just rub their tightly clad bodies up against his and make him their bitch, and how this fantasy gets the better of him every time he see a good looking latino in tights making him stay awake in bed at night and making it impossible to have sex with his butch wife and how much he wants to go down on someone, or anyone but her.

Anyway a good analyst can have a field day with tighty tony's phobia and the suppressed drives it reveals from the unconscious and what kind of hell he is going through being leader of a failing enterprise which pawns itself off as God's Chariot like Organization don't ya think?

Why don’t we have a better story?

by iconoclastic in

1. some say we are all gods, and god is omnipresent..

2. some say: god created his children who later challenged his sovereignty, who in turn asked his eldest son: go down to the world, do not resist the wicked, but be murdered by them, the value of which will be used to atone the sins of the world..

3. universe arose out of a big bang.

Brokeback Watchtower

There is no reason you can't be a faithful Christian AND an evolutionist.

Well their are some reasons, but you haven't access to them because of religious indoctrination and the bias it has formed in your reasoning ability. So basically there are some good reasons but you won't acknowledge them yet, in the future you might you never know.

OrphanCrow,

I heard AM3 give a talk where he stated he had talked to his father who he claims is wealthy and was old at the time and his father warned him about giving money to the WT Society and he said to to the audience that his father didn't know that he was the Wt Society. Any info that could shed light on that statement?

this weeks bible highlights: Jehovah slaughters his own people to teach David a lesson

by nowwhat? in

from 2 samuel 24. i am so mad at myself for not making a comment how could anyone explain this away?

then after he slaughters 70,000 he then feels regret?

Brokeback Watchtower

Jehovah is so human it ain't funny. He get pissed off and in a rage he does a lot of damage then later he says to himself : 'what have I done' and feels regret. I only wish that he got suicidal and killed himself like other humans do when the reality of what they did in a uncontrollable rage hits them like a ton of bricks, but no he continues on in the same madness as before being over taken by his emotions to do terrible things to the human family.

The Devouring Mother Archetype(jungian) And the Watchtower Corporation's Self Identification As Mother And Jehovah As Father

by Brokeback Watchtower in

the devouring mother must be always listen to and obeyed it is the negative side of the anima image and it rules over the watchtower corporation.

jehovah(corporation's imaginary sock puppet) is the father figure with his masculine macho swagger he gains victory over every detractor and his huge narcissistic personality demands exclusive devotion from everyone or it's the death penalty, he suffers from an inflated ego and has a very dark and evil shadow due to denial of his dark nature/satan(scape goat).

the children or rank and file pee on dedicated members of the corporation must now engage in worthless pursuits to satisfy a mood swinging domineering mother and a murderous self righteous father all the while being shown a very contemptible form of conditional love, accompanied with constant death threat reminders and a carrot on a sting to keep them focused on such and busy with worthless pursuits for a hopeless cause.

Jung developed his own distinctive approach to the study of the human mind. In his early years when working in a Swiss hospital with schizophrenic patients and working with Sigmund Freud and the burgeoning psychoanalytic community, he took a closer look at the mysterious depths of the human unconscious. Fascinated by what he saw (and spurred on with even more passion by the experiences and questions of his personal life) he devoted his life to the exploration of the unconscious. Unlike many before him, Jung did not feel that experimenting using natural science was the best means to understand the soul. For him, an empirical investigation of the world of dream, myth, and soul represented the most promising road to deeper understanding. Self Realization is the final stage of Jung's stages of development and that within this stage there is still some room for growth and development. This process is also called individuation, which is the process of becoming an individual.
The overarching goal of Jung's work was the reconciliation of the life of the individual with the world of the supra-personal archetypes. He came to see the individual's encounter with the unconscious as central to this process. The human experiences the unconscious through symbols encountered in all aspects of life: in dreams, art, religion, and the symbolic dramas we enact in our relationships and life pursuits. Essential to the encounter with the unconscious, and the reconciliation of the individual's consciousness with this broader world, is learning this symbolic language. Only through attention and openness to this world (which is quite foreign to the modern Western mind) are individuals able to harmonize their lives with these suprapersonal archetypal forces.
"Neurosis" results from a disharmony between the individual's consciousness and the greater archetypal world. The aim of psychotherapy is to assist the individual in reestablishing a healthy relationship to the unconscious (neither being swamped by it — a state characteristic of psychosis — nor completely shut off from it — a state that results in malaise, empty consumerism, narcissism, and a life cut off from deeper meaning). The encounter between consciousness and the symbols arising from the unconscious enriches life and promotes psychological development. Jung asserted that neuroses and other psychological problems were not merely difficulties to be overcome or repressed, but that they represented opportunities for growth and maturation, whereby parts of the unconscious could be integrated into our psyche. He considered this process of psychological growth and maturation (which is known as individuation) to be of critical importance to the human being, and ultimately to modern society.
To undergo the individuation process, the individual must be open to the parts of oneself beyond one's own ego. The modern individual must pay attention to dreams, explore the world of religion and spirituality, and question the assumptions of the operant societal world view (rather than just blindly living life in accordance with dominant norms and assumptions).
The collective unconscious
Jung's concept of the collective unconscious has often been misunderstood. In order to understand this concept, it is essential to understand his idea of the archetype, something typically foreign to the highly rational, scientifically-oriented Western mind.
The collective unconscious could be thought of as the DNA of the human psyche[citation needed]. Just as all humans share a common physical heritage and predisposition towards specific physical forms (like having two legs, a heart, etc.) so do all humans have a common psychological predisposition. However, unlike the quantifiable information that composes DNA (in the form of coded sequences of nucleotides), the collective unconscious is composed of archetypes.
In contrast to the objective material world, the subjective realm of archetypes cannot be fully plumbed through quantitative modes of research. Instead it can be revealed more fully through an examination of the symbolic communications of the human psyche — in art, dreams, religion, myth, and the themes of human relational/behavioral patterns. Devoting his life to the task of exploring and understanding the collective unconscious, Jung theorized that certain symbolic themes exist across all cultures, all epochs, and in every individual.
The Shadow
The shadow is an unconscious complex that is defined as the repressed and suppressed aspects of the conscious self.
There are constructive and destructive types of shadow.
On the destructive side, it often represents everything that the conscious person does not wish to acknowledge within themselves. For instance, someone who identifies as being kind has a shadow that is harsh or unkind. Conversely, an individual who is brutal has a kind shadow. The shadow of persons who are convinced that they are ugly appears to be beautiful.
On the constructive side, the shadow may represent hidden positive influences. This has been referred to as "the gold in the shadow". Jung points to the story of Moses and Al-Khidr in the 18th Book of the Koran as an example.
Jung emphasized the importance of being aware of shadow material and incorporating it into conscious awareness, lest one project these attributes on others.
The shadow in dreams is often represented by dark figures of the same gender as the dreamer.
According to Jung the human being deals with the reality of the Shadow in four ways: denial, projection, integration and/or transmutation.
Anima and Animus
Jung identified the anima as being the unconscious feminine component of men and the animus as the unconscious masculine component in women. However, this is rarely taken as a literal definition: many modern day Jungian practitioners believe that every person has both an anima and an animus. Jung stated that the anima and animus act as guides to the unconscious unified Self, and that forming an awareness and a connection with the anima or animus is one of the most difficult and rewarding steps in psychological growth. Jung reported that he identified his anima as she spoke to him, as an inner voice, unexpectedly one day.
Often, when people ignore the anima or animus complexes, the anima or animus vies for attention by projecting itself on others. This explains, according to Jung, why we are sometimes immediately attracted to certain strangers: we see our anima or animus in them. Love at first sight is an example of anima and animus projection. Moreover, people who strongly identify with their gender role (e.g. a man who acts aggressively and never cries) have not actively recognized or engaged their anima or animus.
Jung attributes human rational thought to be the male nature, while the irrational aspect is considered to be natural female. Consequently, irrationality is the male anima shadow and rationality is the female animus shadow.
Hero Archetype
The Hero Archetype was described by Jung as a common myth of all cultures. Heroes do various extraordinary tasks from slaying dragons, to pulling children out of burning buildings. For example, look to the classic children's story Robin Hood, where Robin Hood "steals from the rich and gives to the poor". From fact to fiction one's imagination is captivated by the hero archetype.
Individuation
Jung introduced the concept of individuation. This brief summary is based on a chapter by Henri Ellenberger in the book "The Discovery of the Unconscious."
While important to many people, the concept of individuation takes on a deep meaning for adults at midlife—a time at which life’s meaning and purpose come to the fore. In writing about Jung, Ellenberger described midlife or Lebenswende as representing a profound change, gradual or sudden—that can manifest from "long-repressed intellectual or spiritual needs". This change may be seen as a gift from the unconscious—a warning to take full advantage and not waste this precious second half of life.
The process of individuating can take a lifetime. It consists of a series of metamorphoses (the death/rebirth cycle), such as birth/infancy, puberty, adulthood, and midlife. If one can individuate at midlife, the ego is no longer at the center, and the individual makes some sort of peace with her/his mortality.
For the proverbial midlife crisis, Jung suggests that this turning of life may be cured by seriously resuming the practice of religion. However, many are disinclined to take up the practice of traditional religion. For these, Jung suggests his own approach to therapy—a synthetic-hermeneutic method.
Jungian therapy
Steps for the Jungian approach to therapy involve the following:
* reading (for some),
* collaboration with the therapist,
* focusing on the situation at present,
* making concrete any insight—and finding a way to put it into practice in everyday life.
