Do girls become angels?
by TheWonderofYou inin this video montage from paul leonhart and eden channel a jw girl in hospital hopes to become once an "angel" or something similar at 1:06, if she only believes in jehovah.
perhaps this is a reference also to the bloodissue and remaining loyal.. the comment states that 20 million persons are no glorifing god and awaiting a "great tribulation" (in big letters).
what a channel!

The Orwellian Doomsday Cult and its use of HOPE.
by Half banana inif you are the financial managers of a doomsday cult what you have to do is keep the punters permanently in expectation of the end.. failures of prophecy are par for the course in the snake oil world of selling armageddon and paradise.
all humans when in trouble can activate an escape from their troubles through possession of the emotion, manufactured in the brain which we call hope.. people who have cried “wolf!” ten times already can no longer be trusted.......”those who saw 1914 will also see the end of the system of things”.............how many lives were thoroughly wasted on this tripe?
how does a doomsday cult survive after its inevitable and repeated prophetic failures?

Dream agenda
by Half banana inwe have probably all made comparisons of the theocracies of islam and jehovahs witnesses.
they both have a dream agenda; the former has an islamic world caliphate and jws the earthly paradise.
the distinction between the two is that paradise for jws is an idea which permanently remains in the future and moves forward like the proverbial donkeys dangling carrot does, being attached to the animal, which is a most apt metaphor for the way the jw org functions.

Ambiguities
by Half banana injust a thought, as the jw org declines in vigour there seem to be many puzzling stories and illustrations coming from the convention and kh platforms.
at the moment we have a thread by fed up jw about the many spokes of the bicycle wheel leading to god but claiming there is only one way.
a counter-productive illustration.
