i came across this article in the magazine psychology today.
it is about the traits of poor leaders in the field of employment although you could easily think it had been written about the gb.

ok, so you all looked here??.
this thread is prompted by losch's stupid 'decrees' in the march 2018 broadcast, where he denounced online information that may be 'negative' about the organization.. it strikes me that the gb are so dumb!
the moment someone says "dont look at something", human curiousity will make most people look.
"The Streisand effect is the phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely, usually facilitated by the Internet. It is an example of psychological reactance, wherein once people are aware that some information is being kept from them, their motivation to access and spread it is increased.
"It is named after American entertainer Barbara Streisand, whose 2003 attempt to suppress photographs of her residence in Malibu, California, inadvertently drew further public attention to it. Similar attempts have been made, for example, in cease-and-desist letters to suppress files, websites, and even numbers. Instead of being suppressed, the information receives extensive publicity and media extensions such as videos and spoof songs, often being widely mirrored on the Internet or distributed on file-sharing networks."
march 24, 2018 at 7 pm, ctv channel in canada, the show w5 will air a new report on jehovah's witnesses.
ex-jws and others involved.
set your pvr..
Marked. Hope someone remembers to hit 'record.'
on the local news last night it was reported that two kingdom halls in olympia wa were set fire to.
i wonder who has a grudge with those congregations?
unfortunately we know the jw"s eat this crap up and enjoy the "persecution.
As the only person on this forum who has been identified by name and falsely accused (libel) of burning down a Kingdom Hall in the USA, I just want to say that I never set fire to these two Kingdom Halls either. In fact, I've never visited the USA. Long way to travel from Australia.
I stopped joining in prayer sessions for churches to be burned down when I stopped attending Kingdom Halls of Jehovah's Witnesses.
to illustrate how the botchtower's groupies are losing brain cells...last year an elder told me some of the increase in the anointed is due to those who have been unfaithful and needed to be replaced.
when i was in first grade i knew that if i had 10 marbles and i lost one and a friend gave me a marble to replace the one i lost that i once again had 10 not 11 marbles.. jdubs are very good at not thinking..
The incease directly benefits the newer members of the governing body by allowing themselves to declare themselves anointed without satisfying the Scriptural 'two witness' rule.
Based on the steady decrease up to the end of last decade, by 2018 there would be no more self-anointed ones to to be one of the 'seven shepherds' or 'eight dukes' or whatever religious titles the governing body have bestowed upon themselves.
Evidently the holy spirit inspired 'faithful and discreet slave class' has actually dwindled down to a miserable eight, all of whom have admitted that they are no longer inspired, individually or collectively. Even 'the belongings of Christ,' such as the copyright to the Bible and all 'spiritual food,' have also been taken away from them. They are now mere spiritual shells of their former glory with all strings being pulled by a US-based real estate corporation.

An earlier speaker stated how everyone needed to be humble and allow themselves to be molded as if they were clay in a potters hand.
jehovah`s witnesses claim that all their beliefs are based on the bible.the bible clearly states early on in deut.4:2 not to add to the word....and rev.22:18 re-iterates much the same thing in not to make additions to the word of god.. i think we could agree on that the organization has raised the bar on that one with their "weasel" words on so many issues that have already been thrashed out on this forum.. so a few other things that come to my mind are : with regards to j.w`s being parasites on christendom.. 1. they claim christendom apostatized itself from true christianity by the 3rd century , yet they accept apostate christendoms determination of what books are to be included in the bible as gods word as if they were governed by holy spirit to do so.?.
2.jehovah`s witnesses have only ever followed in christendoms missionaries footsteps where they have gone preaching and poaching off of the work these missionaries that have laid the groundwork before them .. 3.jehovah`s witnesses have never opened up virgin territory and gone where no other christian missionary has ever gone before .
{ not to my knowledge anyway i stand to be corrected if i am wrong on this point}.
stillin - "even a stopped clock is correct twice a day."
Watchtower and the Jehovah's Witnesses have gone all digital and online. Could explain why they can't even be correct on the times and seasons.

Re: Point 4. This has always struck me as hypocrisy. The Jehovah's Witnesses claim Christendom removed the true name of god from the Bible. The Jehovah's Witnesses claim they have faithfully restored the true name of god, which they claim is "Jehovah," to the Bible. However the name Jehovah was the creation of a 14th century member of Christendom and was erroniously inserted into the Bible by translators in Christendom. Modern Bible translators of Christendom corrected the error and removed the name. But Jehovah's Witnesses cling on to the name that Christendom erroniously gave to god while decrying Christendom for not using the name. Go figure.
watchtower article often introduce a point that has no merit with words such a "undeniably.".
for instance the watchtower 2014 august 15 page 10 says:.
"jehovah undeniably blesses the preaching work of christian women and supports them in times of trial.
Pete Zahut - "Thinking persons will agree" that the Watchtower organization makes false assumptions based on logical fallacies and much of their doctrine is presented using unsound and invalid arguments.
Evidently you meant to say:
"Thinking persons will agree" that the Watchtower organization correctly makes false assumptions illogically based on logical fallacies and much of their doctrine is soundly and validly presented using unsound and invalid arguments.

So Gerrit Losch did answer to Watchtower.
