  Wow more heavy artillery propaganda from the 11/14 WT!!!!!

  by BU2B in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  every paragraph and every article in this issue is nonstop heavy artillery fire propaganda.

  i have never seen a wt so full of logical fallacies, appeals to emotion, appeals to authority, guilt tripping and bite techniques all in one issue!

  paragraph 9 states clearly that even though the gb is imperfect, that does not matter, we must obey them anyways.

  Wow! I was JUST thinking (independently) of this...

  After reading & thinking @ some of the things said in Steve Hassan's books "Freedom of Mind" and "Cult Mind Control", I thought, 'hmmm.... let me try this scenario on my son (an ex-JW)'

  Let's pretend I am coming up to you & asking, @ what you know about 1874, and after giving me all the lame replies of "Where did you get that? Why are you looking into the past? Are you apostate?" etc I don't give up and keep asking about 1874.. "You do not know?" "What would you tell someone in service?" "You still have not answered the question"

  You finally reply "They are only imperfect men, they are not perfect, they make mistakes, they try their hardest." Which I have continually heard from many people when they try to explain MANY a subject.

  Then I ask, "So, you are doing whatever imperfect, fallible men tell you to do. Is that the same thing the Bible tells us to do in Ps 146? to "not put our trust in men, to whom no salvation belongs." "Why did 'God' put that in there?

  Do You Think That Animals Truly Understand Human Language?

  they say horses communicate with their ears.

  mr. ed talked, though.

  pet owners, do you think that your cat or dog or goldfish really understands you?.

  Good job Hustle, Lurker & Table for One!

  So good to hear people standing up for what is RIGHT! Not just "following the General's orders."

  You are real human beings! So glad to hear others still have a conscience. My husband, my kids and their fams & I all made it out, that was my only wish, and I got it. (I still have siblings & mom still in.)

  One of my fam' won't give me their cell number, because "I wished Candice Conti would win her case and make the WT change it's policies!" So sad.

  When I hear these stories, how people are outraged & stirred at injustice, I am happy.

  You will be much happier when you don't have to support a lie ;-)

  Thank you for these facts & quotes, Terry.

  You made them easy to see, simple to discern, and organized in a way to make an impact. Just the way I like!

  I know it takes a lot of hours and work, I hope to be able to use them,

  thx!

  Hello

  i thought it was high time to introduce myself (without my name of course).

  as my name would suggest i have been reading your intriguing post, thoughts and discussions for some time now.

  around 3/4 months to be exact.. i guess to start with it would seem fitting to give a little background on my current situation.. i'm a born-in, but have over the last few years found that through a number of varying occurences, (some of which i may discuss in future posts) that my 'zeal' has gone from regular field service and meetings to no service in over a year and very sporadic meeting attendance.

  Reality is plain to see: if you just open your eyes

  i made a post a few days ago about stagnant jw growth at international conventions.

  i also enjoyed reading analysis of the statistics from jwfacts.

  what the watchtower claims and what the reality is, are two different things.

  So very true....

  I use to watch the 'dwindling' figures of "how many annointed are partaking at the memorial this past year" and think, as a little girl... "Only 6,00 left to die, and we are close to Armageddon".... then the numbers went up...

  First clue.... ignored.

  Surreal experience last night.

  by objectivetruth in

  2. experiences

  recently a jw friend that my wife & i knew 3 years ago added me on facebook, after i accepted the request she invited me to a dinner that her and her husband are holding next month.. i imagined that she was unaware of our apostasy, so i declined the invitation on the basis of not wanting to ruin her dinner after the rest of her guests fled at our presence.. i'm never sure how old friends will react when i tell them that i'm no longer a jw.. usually their response is "..... permanent-silence......".

  her response went something like this, " we are all out!

  everyone that is coming is out we all look forward to seeing you guys so much" it turns out that there will be 6 people at the dinner all friends of ours from a congregation that we attended a few years back.. they have all left the organization recently.. pretty crazy experience..

  We ALSO have had the same kind of experiences!! It is so great! People we really were close to, really, really nice people that had left before us, are all calling us, saying "Hey!" and we go see them, talk to them, hug, laugh, talk and it's just like we have never stopped being friends!

  It's like getting resurrected! Welcoming people back from the dead! YYYAAAAAAAAAYYY!
