Mindchild: Hopefully one day the WTBTS meme will be incorporated into human conciousness and neutralized. What you said struck me to the core - I had never thought about it that much.

Maybe people susceptible to it will be deselected more rapidly than people who aren't - but this is unlikely to happen anytime within the next million years, so scratch that idea! You made some very interesting points.

OK, I know, I overreacted...probably the WTBTS doesn't give a flying **** about the dowry in India and the bride-price in Africa.

But my main point still remains - it is a BOrganization founded on chauvinism, and always will be. Argue with me about that rather , as that was the main point I was trying to get across.

Just because something is a cultural reality doesn't make it a good thing. In Egypt 90% of women are circumcised (yes ladies, CIRCUMCISED), at about age 7. This practice(sp?) usually involves the removal of all or part of the female clitoral region. And all of this in the name of religion, in fact, a Koran gets held in front of the screaming girl's face while the procedure is done (without any anaesthetic normally) so that she will remember it for the rest of her life. Most of the time it gets done by a barber using unsanitized instruments, and the folds of the vagina are sewn together so well that sometimes the woman has to have further surgery before she can have intercourse later on in life.

Imagine that, guys. Just ****ing imagine how bad that must be. Kinda makes arguing about dowries a bit...stupid, eh?

Chew on that one, cultural advocates. Note that a less cruel version of the above circumcision also often takes place in my country, too. Usually the clitoris isn't removed, but often the folds of skin are sewn together. In fact a lot of African men won't take a wife (note the use of the word TAKE) unless she is "clean", ie. circumcised.

ok i know what you are going to say.. so dont say it.

just bare with me here.. i really really need to compile a comprehensive list of doctrines or .

teachings that the watchtower is currently holding that is wrong.. can you try to be objective?.

EVERYTHING!

Just kidding. On occasion, the Watchtower does actually manage to propogate some good things, although this is rare. For instance, they've had articles about Jesus' words "Treat Others as you would treat yourself" and so on.

But just because an apple looks good from the outside, doesn't mean you should eat it if you know it has a giant hairy worm inside!

There are many websites that expunge the atrocious errors, chauvinism, hypocrisy and general lack of information in the Watchtower, I suggest you follow some of the links people will doubtless be posting here...

A few working neurons left? Hell man, the Governing Body needs to call in members of the Bethel Toilet Cleaning Staff to raise the combined IQ of the people at their meetings above ZERO! *LOL*

The sad tr00F is that nobody can save most of the Dubs. They are just too well programmed. The code in their heads is tight, very tight, and they for the most part BELIEVE in what they are doing. Only a few of the brighter ones actually research what they are regurgitated by the WTBTS, and those soon leave when they see what is really going on. The one defining characteristic of most Dubs is the ability to be utterly deceived. Unfortunately the WTBTS is one of the greatest Memes of all time, ranking right up there with Democracy, Literacy, Art, Communism, and Capitalism. Being a powerful meme, I don't see it dying off anytime soon.

In my estimation, the WTBTS has become so entrenched and powerful that it's taken on a life of it's own, and it won't be killed easily. Think about it - why do Dub parents teach their children about Jehovah and the Bible? Because of their faith? Their "faith" is just a very potent Meme that lives inside their brains, reproduces by infecting yet more minds, changing and evolving and becoming more powerful along the way. It's effectively a pattern of synapse firing which has taken on a very disturbing life of it's own by finding a way to reproduce. In my opinion most forms of religion are variants of this Meme, with the special WTBTS meme being an exceedingly successful variant, as it engenders it's own propogation and survival thanks to isolating harmful influences to it's survival (ie. people who think) from those who are still fully infected by it, and isolates those it infects from all uninfected people, mainly contacting the uninfected ones by testing their susceptability to infection, then infecting them too. This thing is like a virus - it can't lose.

We are the antibiotics. We will rupture the protein membrane surrounding the WTBTS, and prime the world's immune system to recognise it's exposed RNA sequences and destroy it.

Anyone else care to share their thoughts/flame me about this theory? I'm always open to suggestion, unlike SOME people on this board...

.....antidemocratic organization , ruling from the top down just like hitler, mussolino and franco.

no wonder they praised hitler's principles back in 1934 and had a very hard time accepting the republic of israel.

wouldn't be surprising if they have u-boats submerged in the east river and san pedro harbor with advanced missile capability to try to take out apostate websites, isp's, houses of prostitution and hef's mansion.. "allah akhbar", sez them.

Damn, they'd even have Elders on the submarines. Then when somebody got disfellowshipped, they'd be thrown out of the porthole in the middle of the ocean with a millstone tied around their necks. And the Governing Body would instruct them to attack tourist ships and the Queen Victoria II or something! Cool!

And I was born here, too, in Johannesburg, HenryP. I know a million times more about Zulu/Xhosa/Pedi/Sotho/Sepedi (go on, look them up in an Encyclopaedia) culture than you do, and I also know how incredibly degraded the women in those cultures are from first hand experience, not some book. I've lived here my whole life, and believe you me, you have no clue as to what it's like to see a woman sold to her husband on her wedding day.

HenryP, I LIVE IN FRIGGIN SOUTH AFRICA. Don't tell me I'm lying either - how could I have access to a South African web server to store all my pictures on if I didn't? Do you want me to send you my South African telephone number so you can phone me at my desk right now????? *GRRRRRR* If you'd read ANY of my previous posts on the boards, where I mention numerous times I stay in Johannesburg, you would see I'm telling the Tr00f. I've seen so much bad stuff happening, and the 80 year old (OK, she was old, but not THAT old, maybe 60 or 70, but still much older than all of the Elders) woman was the least of my problems, really. Surely if you read more than half of my post you would understand what I am trying to get at.

HenryP, do you or do you not believe that the WTBTS is a COMPLETELY chauvinistic BOrganization? Please answer YES or NO. No gray areas are allowed for this topic, my friend. Sorry that I exploded like that, but someone who just assumes I've never seen any of that stuff happen is QUITE wrong.

When I was in the BOrganization I saw some hectic, HECTIC stuff go down, and that was one of the worst things I can possibly imagine happening to a woman.

And STILL HenryP doesn't respond in kind. Perhaps he knows he's beaten? Sorry, I had to switch to my other handle as I hit my postcap.

Watch, he's going to say something about how that was an "isolated incident" and how we shouldn't let it affect our view of God's BOrganization, well I have news for you HenryP, this stuff happens ALL THE TIME, EVERYWHERE WHERE YOU FIND DUBS. Period.

Emptying the cupboards of litter-ature?

friends

i'm wondering how many of you took a while to gather up the courage to dispose of your cupboard loads of watchtowers and awakes, that you'd stored away for........safe keeping????.

we probably hung on to ours for a few months and then we burned them.

there was a tinge of apprehension about it, but it was generally a very satisfying activity.

Isn't it kinda cool that most of the people here replaced 100KG+ of books with a CDROM that weighs a few grams? I wonder what old Charles Tazey Boy would have thought about that...my mom still keeps a sh*tload of the old books, Revelation, all the annotated references, mags, you name it! We just never bothered to throw them away when I left and she drifted...if you open them up now (esp. the study books such as Revelation) you will find highlighter and pen markings that are many years old, and faded, and the occasional note in the margin (never any of my notes tho). When I see stuff like this it reminds me of just how distant that OTHER me was, the one who was underlining all that stuff in his childhood, not truly understanding it, but wanting to believe, and having no choice about the matter...I think all of us have come very far if we are able to throw away or even burn these writings. This means that the grip of the WTBTS programming is weakening inside us, which is an amazing, liberating thing.
