  Trained to Exploit Emotionally Vulnerable People?

  by dontplaceliterature in

  i don't post here much anymore, but i am working on a project with a few academics from my area who are in the psychology field.

  we are looking for printed evidence in their literature that jehovah's witnesses train their publishers/pioneers to target people who are suceptible to being recruited - i.e.

  people who have experienced a loss, or who are emotionally vulnerable.

  I'm sure someone will know better than me but I thought I remember a wt that talked about contacting recently deceaced family members (cruising the obit's) which I find disgusting. It wasn't worded exactly like that but that was the gist of it. I think it was an older wt, when they still had 2 meetings a week (?) These things stay in the psyche of the r & f so even if it is not still suggested in print it is still there in their collective subconscious, in my opinion.

  This was interesting- "Co-attorney Irwin Zalkin said his law firm has similar cases against the Jehovah's Witnesses pending in four other states."

  glad to see the forum is going strong, lots of new names and stories......and it has only been a couple of months!.

  the wt really has no chance in such a world of free and accessible information.

  keep fighting guys, the freedom once you are loose of the governing body is awesome, you will be amazed how long you ignored the stench off bullshit as your ability to smell it returns.. and on that note ;) x. .

  Reverse Shunning

  someting happened yesterday that i thought might be noteworty enough to relate to you here.. mrs. eyz and i were invited to my new boss's home for his annual end of summer party.

  it's a pretty big deal....his is a name known locally (i'll call him j.r.) a really nice interesting guy who's held a number of high level and politically connected jobs.

  there was to be music, dancing, wine and reprotedly lots of well dressed, well educated, well to do and influential people (oh yes...and us) in attendance.. anyway we thought we'd make an occasion out of it and got ourselves spiffed up which involved new outfits and extra mirror time before we left home.

  Only 1 out of 6 JWs (and friends) visit the JW.ORG web site!

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  in a 2013 article currently on jw.org (reference 1), the jws bragged about how their website is translated into 300 languages and that it reaches, according to alexa statistics, 890,000 unique users every day.. what about the monthly stats?

  the site websitetrafficspy.com (reference 2), which draws its statistics from alexa, reports that there are an estimated 3.2 million unique visitors every month for jw.org.*.

  since the 2013 memorial had an attendance of 19.2 million (reference 3), this could be understood as 1/6 of the jws and their friends visited the site on a monthly basis.. this is not unexpected as the internet itself is used only by 39% of the planet at this time (reference 4).. hence, the number of languages in which the website is translated does not offer any guaranty as to its information being accessed or even be accessible at all to most of the planets population.. .
