  JW org collapses

  ok so this is a topic i've pondered and go back and forth on.. i can easily see a point where lawsuits cause massive deficits in the organization.

  honestly i feel like we are seeing the tip of the iceberg in regards to lawsuits on child abuse.

  to me it looks like the property sell offs are to be able to get ready for this.

  I'm kind of glad that every one is expressing their views on the subject, and Morph yours are very entertaining. I think this is a very healthy way to see others take/view on the matter.

  I'm in the early departure of the Watchtower Corporation due to bankruptcy camp. I know there is a certain amount of wishful thinking in my camp but because I have not embarked on any project because of it I am safe from any terrors that come from embarking on course in life based on wishful thinking, I'm just hoping and feeling pretty positive the end is near for this printing establishment/religion.

  I guess this question of survival is in the answer to these questions :
  1) How long can the Watchtower Corporation survive when active contributing membership is dwindle in like a twist in the wind as internet exposer continues to multiply?

  2) How long can they sucker enough brain dead members to take care of their property till they get it all sold?(forcing them to sell at bargain prices).

  I do think the Watchtower corporation is in the nightmare stage of wishful thinking when reality comes a crashing in on the delusional wishful thinkers.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wishful_thinking
  

  Wishful thinking is the formation of beliefs and making decisions according to what might be pleasing to imagine instead of by appealing to evidence, rationality, or reality. It is a product of resolving conflicts between belief and desire.[1] Studies have consistently shown that holding all else equal, subjects will predict positive outcomes to be more likely than negative outcomes (see unrealistic optimism). However, research suggests that under certain circumstances, such as when threat increases, a reverse phenomenon occurs.[2]

  Some psychologists believe that positive thinking is able to positively influence behavior and so bring about better results. This is called the "Pygmalion effect".[3][4]

  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.[5]

  My New Found Patriotism

  i'm not entirely sure where this has come from, but these past few months i've found myself gradually becoming more and more involved politically and identifying myself differently.

  we all remember what it was like as jws, no political involvement whatsoever, no national pride, no singing the national anthem or saluting the flag etc.

  the watchtower literature always shown artists renditions of nationalism or politics like this:.

  It's all about finding your true self and loving ones country of birth is a noble thing deeply rooted and good as long as it doesn't cause any unreasonable bias against other countries to be healthy mentally speaking of course.

  I'm constantly going over my US governmental indoctrination as a kid and my Watchtower corporation indoctrination, and my true feelings about my country of birth.

  Expect lots of epiphanies.

  How To Become Who You Are

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  being a jehovah's witness for many years has a very damaging effect on becoming who he really are, many of the drives we were born with get subverted to corporation's directives, and we stuff lots of ourselves into our shadow(jungian), as we take on the "new personality" we become an easy to manipulate corporate drone.

  in other words we really loose contact with authentic self, and to some extent a little hollow.. a search for our true self will require some alone time and can be scary and filled with some perils.

  i did it for some time and it can make you a little odd, and you could wind up doing some crazy shit but over all i will say it was necessary and eventually rewarding, and i gotten quite used to it and now a days i have people around but value my time alone when every i can get it.. anyway this video interest me and i thought i would share.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfyczlbcavk.

  Striping off the old personality I think they call it. While I don't think Iv'e found my authentic self yet it has been a continuous process for many years now even the process has many rewards as you become more connected to your true self both good and bad parts. Being a JW dub means a serious departure from our true selves and as we get older the less we become in touch with ourselves.
