  Jackie Chan's comments sound rather dub-like don't they?

  (from http://movies.yahoo.com/news/movies.ap.org/jackie-chans-china-comments-prompt-backlash-ap)

  ""I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not," Chan said Saturday. "I'm gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled. If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want."

  Isn't that the argument jw's use when you bring up how controlling the wt is? or the thought of leaving the wt, 'what? so we can do whatever we want?' as if that is a bad thing. Strange to consider that one would not value freedom nor know what to do with it.

  Same as illustration they use to say how much better it is to be in the "truth" ........Like a seatbelt in a car, you may view it as a restraint but ultimately its there for your protection. They don't see themselves as being controlled, but protected. That is why they focus a lot on the negatives of not being a JW , how everyone else in the world is depressed, is a drug addict, alcoholic, divorced, has children outwith wedlock, has an STD, is in jail, is a fornicator or adulterer...etc ,etc. The org. have a Jerry Springer view of the world and impress this view constantly through talks and literature. Isn't this a popular presentation in field service.......to present first the bad view of the world and how hopeless things are ?

  This actually makes the JW feel grateful and privileged to be part of the org. What a result ! This produces a wave of appreciation from the membership. Their use of sly , underhand tactics to keep people enslaved to them is actually rewarded by a thank you! Can you believe it? There is no doubt about it, the org. are experts in controlling their members and making them think it is their freedom of choice that keeps them a part of this organization. How sad!
