WTS Throws Hail Mary Pass with Major Paradigm Shift
by Socrateswannabe inlet me begin by stating that i have no insider information, this is merely my observation.
i believe that some time ago in watchtower land, somebody at hq posed these questions (probably an outside consultant because i don't think the gb is this hip): .
what would happen if we cut in half the average age of the responsible brothers in the organization?

Finally heard a Dub defend overlapping generations
by Socrateswannabe insince the overlapping generations doctrine was introduced, i have found the jws i know to be uncharacteristically silent on the subject.
i can't remember hearing a single dub try to defend this idiocy.
but that all ended recently.

Was that the annual meeting or did I view thte QVC channel instead?
by Socrateswannabe ini have just started watching the 2015 annual meeting on jw broadcasting and if the first hour of the program is any indicator, i may not be able to finish it.
the rollout of the new midweek meeting by the two gb helpers was just too much.
replete with headphone mics and witty repartee, these guys were very apple-esque, or at least that was what they intended, i think.

Salon.com article about Scientology
by Socrateswannabe inmuch has been discussed here about the similarities between jws and scientology.
when i read this article on salon.com, it brought home to me the methodology that all cults, including jws, use to indoctrinate believers.. http://www.salon.com/2015/04/17/secrets_of_the_scientologists_why_people_do_horrible_things_for_belief/.
its only after years of training, after they have told the church every private fact about themselves, that scientologists hear about xenu and humankinds alien origins.

Jehovah and FDS lack an understanding of basic human psychology
by Socrateswannabe ini wonder if jehovah and the faithful slave lack an understanding of basic human psychology.
i think its pretty common to succumb to things that you are being constantly warned against.
your thinking is, if they want so much to keep this from me, its probably something that is very good, and i should try it.

Please help me figure out my dreams
by Socrateswannabe inhi everyone, this may be the stupidest post ever.
i am stumped for an answer and would love to hear your opinions, though.
every week or two for the last couple of years, i have a dream--or at least that's what i'm calling it--that consists of me waking up or thinking that i've waked up, and seeing the ceiling of my darkened bedroom filled with algebraic equations.
