    After reading thru the Oct '07 Watchtower's, I got an impression of what the new "Kool-Aid"

    Watchtower may be like:

    Whining and nagging

    They ceaselessly discourage education in favor of a life spent peddling magazines door to door.

    They remind of what you shouldn't lick or what sort of sex you shouldn't have.

    They don't want you to watch soap operas.

    and so on, and so on. Good God, what a boring cult.

    And coming in November'07:

    more appeals for donations (p-u-l-e-a-s-e give us your money)

    I haven't read the Oct 07 watchtowers yet, heck, I havent read the sept 07 watchtowers yet.
    I haven't studied a watchtower since I played the werewolf game.
    it is funny to me that you guys know more about the watchtower than the active JWs.

    seriously, no offense, did you mean like or lick? because these two words, make that sentence mean 2 completly different things. just wondering.

    basically the society is saying - dont lick that, you don't know where its been!
    our response - didn't you hand me this ice cream cone???

    If you think the Watchtower is whiny, you should see some of the BOE letters!

    E.g., 4 pages on whether this or that type of porn constitutes mere "uncleanness" (only 'strong counsel' needed) or "uncleanness with greediness" (a potential D-F offense).

    Idiots.

    Best question I've heard/read today bigdreaux.

    I wanted to make a comment about licking on the "love button" thread, but opted out. Gotta keep the mods happy.

    Going beyond the sex laws that they are likely to enforce, they are probably going to crash down hard on college. The people really ought to get right out there and pioneer right out of high school. Full time jobs are also going to be houndable (so they can pioneer). They will also be hard on entertainment of all kinds, not just because it's debasing but because a minute spent playing Pokemon is a minute that should have been spent out there in field circus.

    I am also looking for banning of such as reading anti-JW articles from any sources. They are already priming the people to not believe the deserved bashings the Tower is going to get in the newspapers and worldly magazines. I am looking for harsh measures against reading any material, and particularly any religious material, from worldly sources in the very near future.

    As for the Internet, that tool of Satan, that will likely have to go. They are already telling people that have pro-JW sites to take them down. Ultimately, the Internet will be viewed the same as they today view porn, or even worse. They are going to claim that anyone with an Internet connection, that is not dedicated solely to business, does not deserve any association and will mark them (or worse). Even business connections will be sorely frowned on--get out of the business and find something that doesn't involve any Internet connection. Exceptions may be granted in cases where the connection is solely within a company and its vendors, with no access to the general Internet.

    What they don't realize is that all this is going to stop people from making money to feed Mother. So what? Just take from their means of life. Make them sacrifice every little "luxury" (=any item not absolutely necessary for sustenance). Make them milk society at large for every penny. If the people are not willing to give money to Mother, it's the publishers' fault (and yet, the publishers are faulted for deviating from the wording and intonations of the Watchtower Society). I wonder what criminal measures this organization is going to resort to using to get money once people start not having enough to donate--you cannot donate more to this organization than what you make; if you try, eventually you will have to repay the debt and then they get nothing.
