Let us suppose that your mind is controlled. Would you know it? How could you? Surely the whole point of mind-control is that the person being controlled is UNaware of it. Does a puppet know he is being controlled? NO! Still he moves happily. You are taught that Satan the Devil is the ruler of this world and everything, everyone on this planet, except Jehovah’s Witnesses, is under his control. The Witnesses attend meetings three times each week plus perhaps, 20 minutes before and after each gathering. During that time, the ideas and language of Jehovah’s Witnesses are continually reiterated. Witnesses rely upon the Writing Committee of the “faithful slave” to research for them. This is encouraged by the leadership. Regarding personal study, The Watchtower said, “do some spiritual digging in order to begin getting the very knowledge of Jehovah’s heavenly organization” (w15/6 98) where is this “digging” to be done? In the Bible? NO. But the Watchtower Index.
If you ever want to memorize something, sing it. It is a very effective way to learn and remember written material. One note or phrase can help you recall a whole song that you have not sung for years. (”Baa, baa, black sheep, have you…..”) All of the 225 songs used in Witness meetings are written by Jehovah’s Witnesses to avoid the influence of so called “false religion” in the hymns of the Christian church (this does not prevent Witness writers “borrowing” musical phrases and themes). Each week at Witness meetings, six songs in total are sung and Witnesses are “encouraged” to sing these as part of their worship and to listen to the “up-building” music of Kingdom Melodies at other times. When listening to these tapes, the words of the songs inevitably come to mind. Music is a very powerful influence as the Society itself is aware – it discourages listening to popular “worldly” music.

Does the leadership control other information? Yes, most effectively. It never actually forbids the reading of any material, but “advises”, “encourages”, “reasons with”, the faithful Witness to avoid material which, as they say “is harmful to you. If, in research on the internet, you find facts at odds with what you have been taught, will you explain these away by saying that they are lies created to mislead you?
How do you view people who are not Witnesses? Do you believe they are immoral and dishonest? Do you disbelieve the stories about Jehovah’s Witnesses who have committed fraud, child abuse, rape and other crimes? Do you think that they were never “proper” Jehovah’s Witnesses? Do you try to convince yourself that they were “never really in the truth”? The facts show that some active and approved Witnesses are dishonest, yet you still have contact with them. Suppose that you dare to criticize something connected with “Jehovah’s organization” – what will happen? Won’t other Witnesses quickly withdraw from you because “you are discouraging”? “Read God’s Word the Holy Bible Daily”. Witnesses are encouraged to study the Bible, but they are told that they cannot understand it unless it is explained to them. And by whom? By the “faithful and discreet slave” composed of about 5, 000 spirit-anointed” men and women world-wide, but represented by only a dozen men in Brooklyn. If they are the faithful and discrete slave how come the instructions only come from the 12 or 13????
At the end of every assembly, a speaker from the national headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses usually gives an inspiring talk relating how “Jehovah has blessed his people in xyz country”- usually involving b numerical increases and experiences in various lands. These talks, and others on assembly programmers, are often punctuated by enthusiastic “spontaneous applause” from a claque, cued by expressions such as “Isn’t that something we are all very happy about Brothers?” (Applause) Have you been told that the New World Translation is the best of all Bible translations? Do you believe that only Jehovah’s Witnesses, as a special group of people, were chosen by God, to “preach the good news before the end comes”? Although the Bible warns Christians not to judge others since we are all sinners, Jehovah’s Witnesses do this all the time. It is reasoned that, although we cannot judge the inner man, we can know his “heart condition” (spirituality) by his words and actions – “out of the heart’s abundance the mouth speaks”. That is enough for Jehovah’s Witnesses. Those who do not attend all meetings are “weak” or uncommitted unless they have exceptional reasons. Even in the case of severe disability, every effort is made to attend meetings and assemblies – in wheelchairs or on beds and stretchers if necessary.
If a man works shifts, he will be encouraged to find other employment and if he wishes to gain a position as elder, he really must attend the Kingdom Hall regularly. Tales are told of Witnesses traversing crocodile-infested rivers or terrain frequented by dangerous animals to attend meetings, while The Watchtower encourages swapping of unpopular shifts with fellow-employees so that Witnesses do not miss meetings. And a woman “paid a fellow-worker to cover her shift so that she could be free to attend these important meetings” (w1/9 98) Are Jehovah’s Witnesses “brainwashed”? Yes, definitely.
Witness converts soon learn that they should answer “question and answer” meeting parts “in their own words”. This means that they should not read answers verbatim from the paragraphs of The Watchtower or study book being used. Instead they should rephrase their answers. This does not mean that they will answer in their own words because they will still conform to the well-understood jargon phrases of Jehovah’s Witnesses e.g. “Babylon the Great” which is the “world empire of false religion” instead of “all religion in this world which does not worship Jehovah through his organization and, according to the Society, has pagan origins from ancient Babylon If you stay in the organization,.

The longer you vacillate, the more difficult it is to leave. If you do not act soon, you will slip back into inertia and, before long, you will be passively swallowing all the spiritual junk “food” again, as fast as the “faithful steward” can serve it. The Watchtower claims to be the bridge between God and mankind but unfortunately the only bridge they have is Brooklyn Bridge.

As Bob Dylan says: the world is a changing.

In the good old Abraham days, slavery was rife, and very acceptable. Adulterers were stoned to death, also acceptable, yet today one third of every man and woman should be stoned to death according to the old law, as this is the statistic of the fidelity of our modern world. These two laws have kind of been pushed into the background.
I personally have no time for anyone that looks at another’s hairy ass and decides that is for them, but hey, if I was created a homosexual I might think different. What gives you the right to condemn others when by the same law 30% of all you Christians should be stoned to death.
You so called holy people change the law to suit your every whim. You are so quick to quote the Bible to condemn others. It’s ok for you to hump your secretary but not for homo Harry to hump his mates ass even though in his mind he may find this attractive.
It’s called double standards. One should either live by the rules of the good book, or chuck it away and forget about it, you cannot and do not deserve to have it both ways.

Thus the obvious conclusion: You simply cannot adopt or rationally discuss issues such as these with naïve and uneducated clowns. Bucky Bozo, please either join the circus (sorry you are already there) or consider radical Islam as they want everyone to be back in the 7th century.

You can’t even love your family but yet you talk about loving your neighbor???? Hum talk about hypocrisy.

For your information I am not a Joe Hover soldier (WT). Yes I do have to be for one or another. For sure my God is not the WT. This God has had so many false prophesies coming out of its mouth, that I could not believe it again, even if its tongue was notarized!

Correction my friend, your sword is the word of the WT; please never confuse the WT with God. One has nothing to do with the other.

As for when you were in school you thought that there was only one Milky Way.

Well years ago WT believed the end of the world in 1914, 1925, 1975, and 2000. What does the WT believe now???

It appears prophesies keep changing so rapidly that is hard to find what is what.
You are the one who should go on your knees and while in that position suck my dick.

Oh if only thou would learn some modesty and strive to be humble, maybe you could feel the love of the one who gave you life – no prophency coming true – who do you suppose told the earth is round thousands of years before CC – or do you think dentist discovered the skin of our teeth – nope, thousand of years before the ADA, our Cousin Job mentions it. Please strive to be a little more humble, go into the closed in your room, get down on your knees and ascertain what you gonna do with your life beside hate righteousness. I love you man(Agape) – you ever heard of it – it is principled love – yup, learned it studying with the JWs. I don’t think I would have learned it in Babylon the Great!! Actually, you remember before the dawn of scientific age, the words “Stars more numeous than the Grains of sand on the sea shore. When I went to school we thought there were only one Milky-way. Now we know there are thousands if not millions. Please study with wittnesses and learn something anyway. We become like te people we are around – I guarantee they will not hurt you!
