  What Is Brain Washing?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  i don't think this applies to the watchtower corporation as the beginning this is talking about the more extreme forms.

  but interesting just the same.

  i'm sure we see some of the wt's depictions of death and and destruction(verbal and in pictures) that awaits those not in corporate "jehovah's" favor, a clear uses of inducing maximum fear and stress to make the mind more suggestable to corporate directives.

  NWT talks about "mental regulation" , Paul says that the goal is: that "every thought become captive to the Christ", FOG (Fear Obligation Guilt) sounds to me like brainwashing, just a more insidious form,

  Brainwashing lite?

  I'm trying to reconcile the idea that A GOVERNING BODY MEMBER was PUBLICLY wearing even what appears to be a $10,000 watch when an MS is being deleted over him having a beard,

  The latter was being done on the basis that a brother with a beard was not "modest"

  Huh?

  Watch Tower rationale concerning Thanksgiving is that it's a "National Holiday", celebrating it would therefore be "breaking Christian neutrality"

  Hey Pete Zahut

  Where did you grow up? :)

  In my part of the world you could NOT mix Spiritual EventsTM with anything enjoyable, it would render the spiritual power of said event null and void,

  Ya Vol!!

  Don't know how to answer your question: Does "wine and cheese party" qualify as a celebration!

  Doubtfully Yours adds "just because"

  JWS will make up all sorts of things to get together so,

  Lets be honest, not a little leery of the resurrected ones????

  maybe i have watched too many zombie movies but i would sleep with one eye open, inquire to see what is your favored menu,do you sleep walk, are your body parts functioning properly (i would hate to shake your hand and it fall off).

  your wife never married after 10 years and now you are back, can you perform in the marriage bed?

  ?it would be hard for me to sleep at nights with someone that have been dead for over one year sleeping next to me.

  The funny thing is, probably because of my JW upbringing, I used to have nightmares for decades about my Zombie grandmother come back :(
