  RULES & REGULATIONS

  Ronald Curzan ( helper to the Teaching Committee ) gives a talk on the real reasons Jehovah's Witnesses should attend meetings. It looks like the Zoom meetings have softened up many Witnesses. Many are PROBABLY turning off their cameras and zoning out. Field Service has come to a stall from the pandemic.

  

  

  The real reasons the Watchtower Society want Jehovah's Witnesses members attend so many meetings, assemblies and conventions:

  Recruit others

  Control Bible information

  Mold your behavior

  Teach you to obey the ''ORGANIZATION''

  Remind you that you're never doing enough

  Witness your compliance at weekly meetings

  The meetings, assemblies, and conventions are a means of mind control. It only works if it is frequent. Once a person gets some time and space away from them they start to have a clear mind.

  Meetings are mind control. Simple.

  Mentioning the governing body over and over and over.

  Mentioning the organization over and over.

  Gaslighting same thing over and over

  It's a way of inducing 'dependency' on the Borg. Indoctrination techniques. Thought-stopping techniques.

  B.I.T.E. model

  they are lead to believe they must do it in order to prove they worship God. The spiritually weak are the ones who miss the meeting. They don't want to be seen as spiritually weak by the judgmental " brothers and sisters", but rather obedient to the GB. Also, they aren't allowed friends outside the cult, so they go to see the only friends they are allowed to have close association with ( and then they still have to be choosy)

  It is a MUST to ''infantilize'' people.

  Make them ''dependent'' of the Borg. Yeah, mind control.

  judgmental " brothers and sisters"

  That is a spot on description of the typical JW these days. There is absolutely, positively, ZERO love between those people! If it were not for irrational judgments they would have nothing to do, ever!

  Why do they attend so many meetings? Because they haven't realized that the hamster wheel is their life, and they haven't realized that there is something else to life than running on it.

  All flawed ideologies require regular booster shots.

  Meetings aren't a place for 'questioning'.

  Meetings are a place for indoctrination. Answering-up and parroting answers from the paragraph,

  Since when did you hear any loyal Witnesses asking questions about the study? You won't.

  Indoctrination.
