Post 607: Reject 607 BC if You TRULY Trust the Bible!!!
by Londo111 intherefore, if the 70 years period is for the destruction of jerusalem and exile at babylon:.
if zedekiah had not rebelled against babylon, had he surrendered during the final siege that lasted two and a half years, then the destruction of jerusalem and the deportation need not have happened.
then in the jubilee year, they were set free and their hereditary land was returned to them.

The Myths of Disfellowshipping
by Londo111 injj allowed me to send him an article for jwstruggle.
i know this might not be everyone's cup of tea on jwn, and i hope this doesn't smack of self-promotion, which i find distasteful, but i hope it might bring comfort to some who have found themselves the victims of judicial committees.

Life lessons from The Dark Knight Rises... (Spoilers)
by Londo111 inthere are so many good themes.
there is a parallel of alfred not being truthful with bruce about his deceased girlfriend, and commissioner gordon not being truthful in regard to harvey dent.
in keeping the truth from people thinking we are protecting them, it does more harm when they do find out the truth.

Stronger than Hypnosis
by Londo111 inbeing the society is anti-hypnosis, i know very little about it.
but from what i've observed it often involves willing participants focusing their concentration, usually involving repetition, until the subject is in a state where suggestions can be implanted in their mind.
bite can involve hypnosis, but in many instances it may not.

How BITE applies to non-Witness groups
by Londo111 ini am trying to compile information of how the bite system applies to groups other than the witnesses.
this will help witnesses consider the bite model in a non-threatening manner, because it applies to the 'other guy' and along the way they will see, hopefully, how it applies to their group.. .
for starters today, i found this link interesting.

Origin of High Control Groups by Natural Selection
by Londo111 ini'm about halfway through reading steven hassan's 'combating cult mind control', a very enlightening read to be sure.
there are many misconceptions as regards high control groups and mind control.
the popular conception is that of a nefarious mastermind that is knowingly using mind control and deceiving their members.

The Governing Body: the Harderliners versus the Moderates
by Londo111 ini was reading the rumors of the 2001 infighting and the near overthrow of the blood doctrine--and because of 9/11, the hardliners won the day.. .
that made me wonder: which ones on the governing body are the hardliners and which are the moderates?.
of course, it could well be that even the moderates have to tow the company line and not speak up, or else they will be shown the door just like brother ray franz was.. .
