  " The WTS needs new light. The WTS needs some limited persecution. The WTS needs events that can be seized on to promote feelings of urgency, group unity and unquestioning loyalty to the GB. These things in the minds of ones blinded by cognitive dissonance are the only hope for the WTS to perpetuate things for decades to come. "

  True dat!!! I think one the rallying points will involve the new " brazen conduct " and DF'ing for apostasy. They are on high-alert. Julia Orwell's post about the CO sending his lackey in to police the Conregations is very telling. This can't be the only incident. In every KH there are true company men who push the other " normal " Elders around. I have seen it first hand.

  The next DC coming up will be very interesting. Persecution from the outside and apostasy from the inside, what could be better? The GB want bodies preaching and building. They don't care who it is. They could DF a million publishers and keep on going.

  Magog refers to the white, German descendants of Noah's eldest son, Japthath. The attack of "Gog of Magog" which is the disgusting thing causing desolation of the holy ones was fulfilled when the Nazis attacked the Jews and JWs during the Holocaust. "Gog of Magog" thus represents white supremacist and racist ideas. Thus when we read in Revelation how Satan revives "Gog of Magog" it is simply a reference to how Satan inspires white supremacy as part of his rebellion against Christ and the elect after the millennium. Of course, as we know from Scripture, God made it so that all nations and peoples were represented and not just one ethnic group. Thus the kingdom of Christ is multicultural where all have an equal part. the chance to be superior and separate from all others is a dysfunctional concept reinspired by Satan after the 1000-year rule is over.

  So tyhe attack of Gog of Magog against the "holy ones", who are Jews and JWs, has actually already taken place during WWII!

  I really think that this religion which started as a sect is trying to become a big stable mainstream religion; as that would suit the interests of the GB. Reading the accounts of Rutherford's time, the Witnesses were encouraged to break laws and defy the government whenever possible. This would not work now, as the Watchtower has lost much of its influence with the rank & file; and is too dependent on the government for tax breaks, etc. to dare upset the applecart.
