Yet again, the society shows their totally ignorance of the internet. aren't "chat rooms" 20 years old. I think they still view the internet with their Prodigy dial up.

July Kingdom Ministry
by CloseTheDoor inthe july 2015 kingdom ministry says jws can't do international outreach through the internet, but to instead, point someone in the direction of jw.org site.. it's just another form of control.
the individual publisher is forced to send the interested one to a website fully controlled by the borg.. .

I think Adam (West; aka, Batman) is still alive.
Sorry, the concept of humans living nearly a century is kind of silly. Thus, I made a silly reply.

Is the student more qualified than the teacher?
by John Aquila inwhat does the bible really teach page 110....
why does god allow suffering?.
the wt uses the illustration of a math teacher who is challenged by a student that the math problem can be worked out a different way.

As a professor I am highly offended by the illustration. Teaching is not about showing how much more you know than the student. The teacher should encourage experimentation. The student should work until the he or she gets it right. Eventually the student may figure out something that the teacher never thought of. - That is what education is all about.
If the teacher is confident he or she will be thrilled to have a student figure out a new way of thinking.

Mays JW TV Broadcast/Your feedback is appreciated
by ToesUp ini have a pretty good intuition but i have to admit i am going back and forth on the jw tv may broadcast.
i keep asking myself are they really in financial trouble (wishful thinking) or are they just grabbing for more money?.
i always appreciate reading everyone's thoughts and ideas on here.. let me know what you think.

I have two comments related to the rant for money.
This is a blatant grab for money - no different than at the assemblies where they say there is a $xx,xxx loss when in fact they play a game to give the illusion of a loss to extract that last dollar out of the publishers.
This may also represent the realization that the r&f are no longer willing to give. They may have seen a surprising drop off of donations.
But make no mistake - they are not running out of money. So, don't get your hopes up.

What happens when an elder bullys witnesses, both young and old
by fulltimestudent inmental and physical intimidation (bullying) while young increases the probability of mental illness as an adult.
that's the conclusion of a recent study.. "bullying may be more scarring than child maltreatment because while society recognizes child abuse as a serious problem, and supports its victims, people just don't see bullying the same way, wolke said.
"there're still people out there who think that bullying is a normal rite of passage you go through and toughen up, etc.," he said.but bullying leaves people with poor self-esteem and a lasting sense of distrust of other people, he told live science.

Bullying or another term - coercive power or control - is the basis of this religion. Your original question is what happens if?
The answer is that the religion will not survive. They need coercive power to survive. The elders are bullies because they have been trained to be bullies. They have been trained to be bullies because this is a formula that works; it is a necessary strategy to sustain the religious empire.

Do You Think Humanity Will Ever Be Completely Free From Religion?
by InjusticeSystem ini realize that many here still have a form of spirituality or faith, and i mean no disrespect to those individuals.
i suppose i am posting this question to those, like myself, who have come to the conclusion that religion in general is a major hindrance to the progress of our species and needs to be put aside so that we can advance to our full potential.
so my question is, do you think this will ever actually happen, and how do you think we can get there?

Let me ask the question a different way. The human race is coded to survive. What is it about the human desire to believe in a greater power that has the ability to sustain the species? -

The elders came to talk about my facebook comment
by cookiemaster inso, not long ago i've told you guys how one of my only two jw friends saw my comment against the borg and called me about it.
well, the little fraker also called the elders to tell on me.
i know i've been a huge idiot for posting a comment about jw's on facebook, but nonetheless i did it and what's happened, happened.. two idiot elders came all the way from the nearest congo, 30 miles away to talk to me about it.

"All I said was that the JW's were a shitty, destructive cult."
Yea, I can see how that might ruffle some feathers.
