Exposing psychological manipulation
by Ténébreux innot sure if this has been discussed before (probably) but this is something that just occurred to me:.
religions and cults employ some very well documented psychological techniques to deceive, persuade and control people - logical fallacies, thought-reform, etc.
techniques which can be easily identified in action when one is aware that they exist.

Memorial 2007
by Ténébreux inwell i just got back from the memorial, after being dragged along somewhat reluctantly.
during the talk, one statement in particular caught my attention which i hadn't heard previously.
the speaker was explaining why probably no-one there should be partaking of the matzo and wine, because on the night of the passover jesus began selecting his 144000 heavenly co-rulers starting with the 11 apostles who were present - and that from then on, most of jesus' other followers just observed and did not partake, recognizing that they were of the earthly class.

Nebuchadnezzar's Image
by Ténébreux insorry everyone, this was so stupid i just had to post it - apologies if it has been discussed before.
this is something that has been doing the email rounds in local congregations - the stone from nebuchadnezzar's dream, as depicted by the wts over the years:1958, "your will be done on earth", page 112. the stone is still quite a good distance away.1999, "pay attention to daniel's prophecy", page 58. the stone is now quite close.2004, "keep on the watch", page 15. crunch.. .
woooooooooo... scary stuff !
