LUHE,
Sorry for the long post I tried to edit it but was unsuccessful. But on the upside there is a lot to click on to make readers and posters more informed so that our discussion can be more factual and perhaps remove some prejudice from future comments.
America went through a period of McCarthyism in the 50s, where the Feds were cracking down on people who were or merely seen with some communist and were black listed. I think the government actions a bit overboard and more of an alarmist reaction to a ideology that was at odds with its capitalist ideology.
Some of that opposition remains in my generation the 1950s and the further away from the 50s one generation starts the less of this government propaganda effects them. Just sayin.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism
McCarthyism is the practice of making accusations of subversion or treason without proper regard for evidence.[1] The term refers to U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy and has its origins in the period in the United States known as the Second Red Scare, lasting roughly from 1947 to 1956 and characterized by heightened political repression as well as a campaign spreading fear of influence on American institutions and of espionage by Soviet agents.
It originated with President Truman's Executive Order 9835 of March 21, 1947, which required that all federal civil service employees be screened for "loyalty." The order specified that one criterion to be used in determining that "reasonable grounds exist for belief that the person involved is disloyal" would be a finding of "membership in, affiliation with or sympathetic association" with any organization determined by the attorney general to be "totalitarian, Fascist, Communist or subversive" or advocating or approving the forceful denial of constitutional rights to other persons or seeking "to alter the form of Government of the United States by unconstitutional means."
— Robert J Goldstein [2]
McCarthyism soon took on a broader meaning, describing the excesses of similar efforts. The term is also now used more generally to describe reckless, unsubstantiated accusations, as well as demagogic attacks on the character or patriotism of political adversaries. During the McCarthy era, thousands of Americans were accused of being communists or communist sympathizers and became the subject of aggressive investigations and questioning before government or private-industry panels, committees and agencies. The primary targets of such suspicions were government employees, those in the entertainment industry, educators and union activists. Suspicions were often given credence despite inconclusive or questionable evidence, and the level of threat posed by a person's real or supposed leftist associations or beliefs was often greatly exaggerated. Many people suffered loss of employment or destruction of their careers; some even suffered imprisonment. Most of these punishments came about through trial verdicts later overturned,[3] laws that were later declared unconstitutional,[4] dismissals for reasons later declared illegal[5] or actionable,[6] or extra-legal procedures that would come into general disrepute.

Watchtower study today - best practice in word
by Gorbatchov indue to family reasons gorby was present today.. the watchtower study was about refugee's.. how to treat refugee's, jw and non believers, and help them spiritual, not financial.
nothing new.. what i mentioned is the juridical message underneath the whole story.
don't talk politics, listen to government regulations etc.. most bizar is that a whole congregation that normaly avoid giving any aid to people in need, this morning gave the best practice in word about what to do with refugee's.. if the subject was not that serious, this hypocracy could be funny.

O God I just had a flash back about how much time I spent listening to utter bull shit being pushed down our throats during WT study/indoctrination meetings, utterly stupid Public talks based on a fairy tale figure Universal Sovereign. I think I'm going to puke.
I guess humor can make it less painful when you got/forced to go for whatever reasons, you have my sympathy man.

I think we need to discuss Marxism and be more specific about what you do or don't know about him. Because I think a lot of this is gut reaction to what we've been indoctrinated by our government to believe.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxism
For the political ideology commonly associated with states governed by Communist parties, see Marxism–Leninism.
Marxism is a form of socioeconomic analysis that analyses class relations and societal conflict using a materialist interpretation of historical development and a dialectical view of social transformation. It originates from the mid-to-late 19th century works of German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.
Marxist methodology originally used a method of economic and sociopolitical inquiry known as historical materialism to analyze and critique the development of capitalism and the role of class struggle in systemic economic change. According to Marxist perspective, class conflict within capitalism arises due to intensifying contradictions between the highly productive mechanized and socialized production performed by the proletariat, and the private ownership and appropriation of the surplus product (profit) by a small minority of the population who are private owners called the bourgeoisie. The contradiction, between the forces and relations of production intensifies leading to crisis. The proletariat through the alienation of labor, social unrest between the two antagonistic classes will intensify, until it culminates in social revolution. The eventual long-term outcome of this revolution would be the establishment of socialism – a socioeconomic system based on social ownership of the means of production, distribution based on one's contribution, and production organized directly for use. As the productive forces and technology continued to advance, Marx hypothesized that socialism would eventually give way to a communist stage of social development, which would be a classless, stateless, humane society erected on common ownership and the principle of "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs".
Marxism has since developed into different branches and schools of thought, and there is now no single definitive Marxist theory.[1] Different Marxian schools place a greater emphasis on certain aspects of classical Marxism while de-emphasizing or rejecting other aspects, and sometimes combine Marxist analysis with non-Marxian concepts; as a result, they might reach contradictory conclusions from each other.[2] Lately, however, there is movement toward the recognition that the main aspect of Marxism is philosophy of dialectical materialism and historicism,[3] which should result in more agreement between different schools.

Stonewalling and the Governing Body
by UnshackleTheChains inwhy do the gb stonewall individuals with legitimate questions.
for example, they refuse to speak to investagative journalists like trey bundy, unless they happen to get caught somewhere walking about in the street by chance.. i remember the panorama documentary 'suffer the little children' where the presenter tried to arrange an interview with one of the gb.
i can't remember if the gb either refused or simply didn't reply.

The evasiveness of the Governing Body is a black spot on God's Earthly Organization/Printing Corporation. Clearly shows that they have nothing they can say to the world because they are delusional idiots and deep down in their unconscious they know it but is suppressed from consciousness because of corporate brainwashing. It takes a severely brainwash individuals to run God's Earthly Organ the more brainwashed are chosen to steer it like a real Jehu Chariot Driver into oblivion.

A Brain That Is Busy Processing A Lot Of Negative Emotions Lower Intelligence?
by Brokeback Watchtower infrom neuroscience we learn that brain processes sent up the right side of the amygdala are basically negative in nature and in my mind unquestionably uses up valuable processing power and makes violent instinct responses to irritant that may be highly illogical.
so the more we got going up the left side the better the mind works in decision making the more better intelligence working in our favor as entities.. wholesale belief in a corporation deity that will come to the rescue of the corporation is bound to lead to many hail mary plays for its corporate managers and a definite no no for sound economic moves to keep one financially secure.
too little too late seems to be the down side negative outlooks on life that the watchtower inspirers though its pages of print fear of death, fear of disfellowshiping, fear of disobeying the governing body and put to music to make it sink into the indoctrinated got to cause brain shrinkage and psychological harm.. the vaccine is coming for cult bull shit propaganda and it is called the information highway.

The vaccine is coming for cult bull shit propaganda and it is called the information highway. Democracy can only succeed if intelligence of the population that governs increases and uses critical thinking in making decisions democracy will fail if they are dumbed down by the government.
All this right side Amygdala processing done by the brain seriously lowers brain processing power to make good decisions. The negative loop I'm sure leads to some form of dementia as amyloid beta get accumulated in in used brain cells due to extreme compartmentalization.

I do tend to think that because these delusional fixations the Governing Body have with Jehovah(corporation mascot) and his archenemy Satan they are prone to make decisions that favor these scenarios which is to say the least a very limiting reality tunnel of possibilities and in the process make panic reactions to world events based on ingrained corporation phobias and the ingrained instincts colliding in space and time. Which meaning they couldn't read the writing on the wall even if it had gigantic letters saying " You are going bankrupt you stupid assholes who believe your own bull shit".

Hecce,
Maybe the GB fantasied that when the Twin Towers across the river was hit by terrorist in 9/11,, that Satan was getting ready to hit them so they are high tailing it to a safer distance from NYC and hiding like a bunch of scared rabbits in the woods for protection.
After all they are the ones who teach that their conventions back in the early 1900's were a pouring out of the plagues in Revelation. A sign of a printing corporation's egomania if ever there was one. Everything revolves around them no doubt played a significant factor.

Does Christianity Promote Self Hatred?
by Brokeback Watchtower ini think that christianity's teachings pose a very unproductive world view and are a danger to our survival.
their teachings that man is sinful and worthy of death and in need of a savior to rescue him and free him of his sinful tendencies or else feel the wrath of god.
these things that condemn man as sinful are his own powerful drives given to him at conception which he now must deny due to indoctrination and consign to his shadow(jungian).

interesting video about Nietzsche and starting at around minute 37 his ideas about slave morality are discussed. Nietzsche father was an minister in the Lutheran church but died early in his son's life and even Nietzsche had aspirations of becoming one.
