  NLP, Subliminal Messages and the WT Writing Department

  by 00DAD in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  a few years ago i became interested in the subject of neuro-linguistic programming (nlp).

  while the core concepts of nlp have been largely discredited as new-age pseudo-science, there is no doubt that there is at least some validity to the idea.

  words and images remain the key way we communicate.

  TTATT Billboards?

  by Emery in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  has anyone ever thought about paying for a billboard close to either an assembly hall or a kingdom hall during memorial season?

  for instance i would probably pay for a billboard for a week or 2 displaying jwfacts.com on the highway or a nearby road that witnesses travel on heavily.

  has anyone ever tried something like this?.

  i've thought about doing this if I am ever confronted bu the local hitmen. ( elders)

  I have rented billboards in the past and it depends on the size, traffic, lighted, paper or vinyl printed etc,..

  I would have to, currently, have a way of setting it up anonymously to prevent any blow back.

  I think that either JwFacts.com or The truth about "The Truth"

  JwFacts.com

  I think a major highway for a few months would expose all the Jws in the area to the sign. It would be the gossip of the circuit, "Did you hear about the apostate billboard on hwy x,., don't drive by there and look at it"

  Also thought about buying one of those directional speakers where only those in the zone can hear the info and I would beam it at the entrance of the DC or CA just looping
  "The truth can stand any scutiny, you deserve to know, be like the borens and visit jwfacts.com to learn more"

  Have not got the nerve just yet.

  As the old saying goes.....curiosity killed the cat.

  Or in this case, "Curiosity allowed the cat to see it was in a trap and allowed him to free himself without resorting to gnawing off its leg."

  My husband MISSED the meeting today! Unheard of!

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  he decided to take me somewhere nice in the country for a day instead, and when he suggested it last night i was amazed that he would have even thought of missing the meeting!

  he was one of those guys who only missed a meeting, literally, if he had a spinal injury and couldn't move!.

  but, i've been sharing a little of the ttatt with him, teensy tiny bits that i can substantiate from the bible or other reputable sources.

  When my wife and I were at the talking stage, but she still was not sold on the idea that the WTBTS could be wrong, we had wen to lunch one day and I told her that I had learned a new term, "Cognitive Dissonance" and then we just continued on with what ever we were talking about.

  About 5 minutes later she said "What was that new term you mentioned?" I said it again, and then explained how CD works etc and it showed me that she was interested in learning more.

  Hope for all the best Julia,...

  Taking Elders Out of their Comfort Zone; The Little Room

  by TMS in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the mid-90's my wife faced a bogus charge of gossiping.

  the charge was based on a fleshly sister of a jw easedropping on a conversation.

  we fought the charge with the elders unable to produce any credible report of the actual conversation.

  Why can't they just send us the cut outs to "paste" into the older bibles like we did in the Revelation book?

  Times were tougher back then I guess,..

  Can anyone help?

  by Pink sapphire in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  hi, i'm doing some research, which many here have participated in and could do with some help.. on another forum some months ago someone commented that in a july 1992 watchtower it said that the emotional effects of disfellowshipping may last far beyond reinstatement.

  i thought this a really interesting statement and would like to include it in my assignment, acknowledging the harm done by disfellowshipping and its not just a protective and disciplinary process.

  i don't know if i believe they would actually go that far.. my problem is that i have no access to wt literature (i dont really want fo visit my old congregation library) and the online library on www.jw.org only goes back to 2000. does anyone here have access to bound volumes and a bit of time that they could check this out for me?.

  Probably already have this source of info, but just in case, wanted to pass it along.

  Lots of great info in here.

  Also check out about half way down the WTBTS AWAKE piece from 1947 "Are you also Excommunicated?" where it talks about this having pagan origins and is unscriptural.
