The Congregational Make Up Research Project: WTB&TS wants to know you.

by oppostate in

we have a bethel speaker on the english side.

they're pretty regular up here since it's only three and a half hours drive from nyc.. but this is a special kind of visit.. it turns out he's involved in doing a special research project and the christian congregation of jw's wants to know us better.. in order for the broadcasting to address issues more meaningful for families, they want to know the demographic make up of the congregations.. he spoke with the secretary about young single publishers and couples 20-35 y.o.

how are they employed.

If they are using sociology to learn how to manipulate the masses better, then that is deeply worrisome.

Hubbard had his boat...Russell had his. Too bad for Joseph Smith...there was no place for him to sail a yacht.

Building 500 new kingdom halls?

by Coded Logic in

the wtbts has to know they aren't actually going to see their numbers significantly jump anytime soon/ever right?

are they planning on cutting the rbc down to 1/10th the work force so they can actually slow down their kh projects instead of increasing them?

or do they think their little website scheme is actually going to bring in more people?.

It could be this: "Maybe the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing." However, I do wonder if most department heavies were believers thinking "Jehovah would provide". Overconfident and incompetent, they steered the ship into the rocks.

return to jerusalem and skillfully pretended to be a friend of traitors.

proved to be wise when he gave them a tip he knew the lead to failure.it almost makes me wonder if they will attempt to implement this.

It almost makes me wonder if they will attempt to implement this. Of course, nobody could pretend to a friend to "apostates" without getting exposed to TTATT. But one wonders if they would attempt to do this.

All or Nothing: The Slippery Slope of Watchtower Morality

by Londo111 in

there is a common saying that “the crime should fit the punishment”.

a minor violation should receive a minor correction; a major violation receives a major punishment.

take the example of a kid who accidently spills soda on the carpet.

Thanks, Millie210.

I recall one time a young adult woman, a pioneer, was living with my family. In the early morning, I went to go to the bathroom, but it was occupied by this pioneer taking a shower. In kneeling in front of the closed door was a relative, an elder. I can't prove that this elder was attempting to look through the crack of the door to catch a glimpse of her coming out the shower, but it really is what it looked like to me. I can think of no other explanation.

Now I'm the same age as the relative. I realize that I would never do anything of the sort. It's entirely wrong. Of course, it is not that I'm "superior", but I've the same innate conscience that most people have, and an ounce of maturity. I have a natural aversion of being voyeuristic like that...it's wrong.

I'm sure the relative realized what he was doing was wrong, but the slippery slope of Watchtower Morality warping effect on people under its influence.
