Door-to-door Going Forward
by berrygerry ini found that the sale (placement) of books and magazines was always a challenge, but it was still attainable.
when the magazines switched from semi-monthly to monthly, magazine calls were automatically cut in half.
return visits that were made "just to say hi" were hugely awkward.. i never participated in the "please watch a video on my tablet" work, but i would imagine that the fail rate compared to magazine placement is massive.. reducing magazine frequency yet again would make me worked up inside.

Slavery and High Control Groups
by berrygerry inthe social structure of wt, disfellowshipping, etc.. interesting comparison with slavery.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/social_death.
the beginning of social death comes from the initial enslavement process, which would most likely come from capture during a battle.

Jehovah as a Brand
by berrygerry inimo, one of the most brilliant things that rutherford did was to capitalize on the somewhat obscure, but in many ways legitimate, word jehovah as being the personal name of god.. as jehovah's witnesses (small w) morphed into jehovah's witnesses (capital w), other religions that had previously used jehovah in church names and church worship began to diminish its use.. this in turn only continued to distinguish rutherford's religion.. in addition, the watch tower corp's continued and relentless intertwining of "jehovah" and "jehovah's organization" is nothing short of sheer brilliancy.. search wt library or wol.jw.org for "jehovah" and "organization" together with words such as "please" "obey" "serve.
" the interplay is endless.. in the recent post from a former missionary / co, he states: .
"as far as the organization and jehovah, i was like everyone else.

Learning the History of the Australia Royal Commission
by berrygerry inas there is way too much info for me to parse and research, i may be unaware of more info.. however, i only just stumbled upon this news article of 2011 which referenced steven unthank.. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/archive/news/former-witness-taking-on-watch-tower/news-story/320c3f2aa9a00f76501152dd6d9144ab.
this is turn led to this article, which imo, appears a gentle attempt to undermine mr. unthank.. https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/222099/steven-unthank-what-do-we-really-know.
in view of the phenomenal coverup revealed by the arc, and as the above thread is five years old, i thought it appropriate to give mr. unthank tremendous "thanks" for his courage and determination..
