23How to wind up a JW
by slimboyfat intell him that jesus probably didn't get married or it would have mentioned it in the bible, but at the same time we can't be 100% sure he didn't get married because it doesn't specifically say he didn't get married.
stand back watch fireworks.. i thought it was a pretty reasonable thing to say.
pop.

Wild speculation / fearless prediction: how to (continue to) ratchet up the flock's fear
by sir82 ini've been thinking: what with all the bunker videos at the rc, instilling fear and paranoia and excitement among the masses, what could the gb do as a follow-up?
how do they feed the flame?.
how about identifying the "king of the north"?.

Well I like it. It seems like a very smart thing to do, especially since Russia is going to be around in all foreseeable future.
The only thing I might imagine they could do differently would be to identify the king of the north as something more generic, "specific groups that currently oppress Jehovahs witness". That way the king of the north could be hinted to be Russia so powerfully every JW would believe it, but they would not be liable in the same manner officially (like, just make a video where it says: "the king of the north are those who oppress Jehovahs witness as an organized group" and show a shot of Nazis and (current) Russian military police. Everyone gets the hint). Also if Putin is thrown out tomorrow and Russia turns fully democratic (not super realistic but it might happen) a new "king of the north" bogyman (Islamic dictatorship, china if they suppress JWs, etc.) can be pulled out of the hat with little liability.

It must be Tony3's great look that attracts the gayes! I am not even gay but if he packed that body into spanks or just tight pants I would take a serious life decision!

Counting together the baptism rates and attendance at the conventions would make a lot of sense for later reference. If they are still experiencing growth, there got to be conventions with a lot of baptisms right? I mean, isn't conventions one of the main times where witness get's baptized?

Man I hate this F'ing cult!
by oppostate inthe nicest and kindest jw's seem to be the ones who are the least connected and active in the congregation.. i've been trying to fade and been missing quite a few meetings.. of course my wife still loyal as ever if not more so since i've awoken to ttatt.. every mid-week and sunday meeting i miss she gives me the silent treatment.. she's become more and more friendly with a regular pioneer younger than she is and wife of an elder, this to the letting go of regular contact with best friends in the 0rganization, whom she was closest to but were and aren't as active and regular at meetings and field service.. it's a crying shame, i'm closer and kinder to her old friends, keeping in touch through facebook posts now and then, encouraging them through the hardships, rejoicing with them during happy moments, graduations, welcoming a new child to the world, marriages, new jobs and what-not.. she has become a serious shunner, staying away from a lot of folks we were close to because they're not good association.. she's drunk the whole cup of kool-aid and anything i say that's remotely negative towards the 0rganization is met with stern retorts and accusations i'm apostate sounding.. and yet, she's still the kind hearted, loving person she used to be.
it's like she has a wt hat she dons and it changes her mind, her outlook, her behavior.
when dealing with neighbors, with people outside the kh, she's as nice as could be and i know this kind-heartedness is genuine--but it's been hi-jacked by this f'ing cult.

Yah, she sounds like she is in good contact with her Cult personality. Try to think about situations where she is not in Cult mode and remind her or get her into those situations. Like, can you ask neighbours over?
