  Selective Statistics & extraordinary JW claims

  by Syme in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  * a jw family leave their crops and livestock unattained to go to a convention.

  when they return, the crops and livestock are doing just fine.. * a desperate person is anxiously praying to god to give her a chance to know him.

  even before the prayer is concluded, two jws knock at her door.. * a pioneer prefers to take leave from her work in order to attend the pioneer school, even though she's sure she'll be fired.

  I've never had a prayer answered even while serving as a pioneer or bethelite.

  i would not be in the least surprised if a prospective new member of the governing body has to sign a legal contract promising that should they ever leave the gb, they must maintain complete silence about what goes on in the inner sanctum..

  I would imagine they keep control by keeping monetary control over those responsible for running the company.

  I agree that the athletes should go and use every opportunity to expose how oppressive Russia is, not only to gay people, but to all of their people.

  Generally, Everyone associated with the witnesses comes to a time when their worth is measured against some type of meaningless witness rule.

  I think its one of the most effective ways of getting people to free themselves from the org.
