G'day all,
Perhaps we could start a collection of recent examples of where the borg has used subliminal messages to influence the minds of the R&F.
Here's another to start it off:
Look at the January study article "Jehovah Empoers the Tired One".
How does He empower the tired one? Well, in paragraph 9 we see a clever switch. the paragraph reads: "Diligent study of the SCRIPTURES with the help of Christian PUBLICATIONS can invigorate and sustain us." Later we read: "we need to take in spiritual food provided by God through HIS WORD and Christian PUBLICATIONS to maintain our spiritual strength."
But note the question to pargraph 9: "What role do Christian PUBLICATIONS play in nourishing us?"
Do you see what's happened? There may be some agreement with the words of the paragraph, although perhaps the brothers may have more readily agreed with reading the Bible for nourishment. But the R&F heard the question read by the Watchtower Study Conductor. Will they notice the difference?
By this witch they would have us believe that it's the organisation which nourishes us. Clever, eh? Yessir, the publications are more important than the Bible (sarcasm added).
Any more examples?
Cheers,
ozzie
