if he were catholic, pope would make him saint

Is it biblical to advertise the scene of miracles and project ourselves as if we are the ones performing the miracle?

Each time I read about Jesus I keep asking where we resembled him. He will heal the sick and tell them to tell nobody. To some he will quietly tell them to go show themselves to the priest. But ours, we'll do the slow motion, call camera people, print them on posters and handbills,

how much does it cost to learn keyboard

i realy dont know if i am the only one with this issue. I applied for engineering because of the prestige and lucrative packages attached to the course. Telling my parents i wanted to be a writter would be suicide mission. I love writing short stories.poem.random thought .anything.

School days was hell. I pushed through course work hoping to find a course that could click with me. On branch of engineering interest me.

When i see a lot of people around school that seem ve enjoy the class. I ask myself : do i really belong here?

At a point , i almost called it quit. But when i remember my dad would not be happy with that. I managed to hang on

now i an an engineering graduate whose attitude about engineering ranges from indifference to hatred. I foot have any passion for anything related to engineering. How do i cope ? Pretend that i love the job when deep down i have it. I an currently terrible at engineering. What do i do ?

Gary Busselman shun - to keep away from; avoid scrupulously or consistently. (Webster’s New World Dictionary) - to keep clear of; avoid. (Funk and Wagnalls Standard Desk Dictionary) Why It Works Why would I be afraid of someone who threatened not to talk to me unless I behaved a certain way? Why would I punish someone by not talking to them? Why would people try and try to gain the acceptance of a group who would look right through them without speaking or even acknowledge them when they chance met? What are the rewards for the shunners? What are the rewards for the shunned?



ment. Partial shunning is also practiced by JWs. Married couples (one practicing Witness, one disfellowshipped /disassociated) are taught to practice shunning in the home. This practice is unacceptable by me and is clearly intended to split up families. How can JWs believe they are keeping all of the marriage vows while requiring one spouse to spiritually shun the other? How can one reduce a marriage to sex and business? How can a couple be happy just talking about the garden, weather and sports at ten?




ehovah’s Witness I know has a daughter and a son. Both were raised as Witnesses. The daughter was baptized by the Witnesses. The son was not. As adolescents both the daughter and the son started to use tobacco. The daughter, because she was baptized, was disfellowshipped for using tobacco. She moved away, married, had a child, quit going to meetings, and continued to use tobacco. The father has not spoken to her or seen her for years. The father has not spoken to or seen his granddaughter, ever. The son also quit attending JW group meetings, moved away, got married, had two children, and also continued to use tobacco. But the son, because he was not baptized, was not disfellowshipped. The father has an ongoing relationship with his son and these two grandchildren even though the son continues to use tobacco. If the father is shunning the behavior (tobacco use), then he would have to shun them both. Since he continues a relationship with the son I’m inclined to think that the unforgivable sin is baptism by Jehovah’s Witne

? Witnesses judge each other too. It may not be obvious to the outsider, but a process of judgement is on-going for Witnesses' meeting attendance, preaching activity and dress and conduct, both inside and outside the Kingdom Hall. 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 frequentd 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) Dress and grooming are constantly monitored under Society guidelines. It is easy to see what is acceptable by an examination of illustrations in the publications.. Control of clothing and grooming has long been recognised as control of an individual's freedom of expression, but if you want approval of your peers, you conform. An examination of Watchtower Society literature shows that the leadership is willing to give its opinion on diverse subjects - which Witnesses follow as rules thereafter - like the latest fashion, except this is control over their life decisions. Often, a Witness will ask, "What is the Society's view on......?" before they will undertake a project. Reference is usually made, not to the Bible, but to the Society's literature where they can find information on secular matters which is always based on the Governing Body's interpretation of scripture. Notice:

the Witness, made this separation from society and you are led to believe that you made the choice yourself, to avoid "bad associates" or influence of "the world". The fact that this is not a physical separation behind a wall, but psychological, is unimportant to the effect it has. In fact, psychological separation is more effective than shutting someone in a prison, for by mental control, a person is completely isolated from everyone in a crowd - or a country. Have you visited a country whose language you do not understand? What effect did it have on your relations with the people? Do Jehovah's Witnesses have a special "pure language" which separates them from the "world"? Does the leadership influence the thinking of the group? Well, if one considers the schedule for Jehovah's Witnesses each week, it would be very surprising if they didn't! The Witnesses attend meetings three times each week for a total of five hours plus perhaps, 20 minutes before and after each gathering. During that time, the ideas and language of Jehovah's Witnesses are continually reiterated. If you watched TV adverts for the same product many times, would that have an effect on you? Advertisers think so and are prepared to spend millions of pounds to back up their belief in the power of repetition for emphasis. Do the leaders control the information in the Witness environment? Yes. It does not take long for the new Witness to learn where s/he should look for information on the Watchtower Society's history and doctrines and for Bible study - the publications of the Watchtower Society. Few Witnesses research in commentaries which are writtten by "worldy scholars". (Just as well - an examination of the sources for the Society's "Creation" book (1985), yields scores of dishonest misquotations and inaccurate references by Watchtower writers). 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 organisation" (w15/6 98) Where is this "digging" to be done? In the Bible? No. But through the predigested knowledge from their publications using the Watchtower Index. And the quality of this "spiritual food"? The best available! How do you know? Because Mother told you so! "......we must recognize not only Jehovah God as our Father but his organization as our mother" (w57 5/1 274) "The finest spiritual food is supplied through Jehovah's organisation" (w98 1/9) What Witness would dare question that statement? Not only is it written, but during the congregation study, it will be reinforced publicly by answers from the congregation and heard by all present.

u Control What are the social surroundings of Jehovah's Witnesses? True, many of them go to work in the local community and have business dealings with "the world", but for the good Witness, social contact with "worldly people", including non-Witness relatives, is kept to a minimum. (Some Witnesses prefer self- employment in office/house cleaning work which allows them to futher reduce their "worldly" contacts, giving them extra time for "increased opportunities of service" Typically, employed Witnesses do not attend, or give only token support, to parties, dinners or works-outings because these are usually connected with "worldly holidays". They are "in the world, but no part of it". As time goes on, the Witness has fewer and fewer "worldly friends" until eventually, all social and business contacts are in the local congregation. Is that the case with you? If you left the religion to-morrow, would you have any friends? Stop reading for a few moments and make a list of all the social calls you have made in the last month. Check your phone-bill to see how many non-Witnesses you have phoned for social reasons in the last six months. You, the Witness, made this separation from society and you are led to believe that y

In the case of Jehovah's Witnesses though, we are talking about, not a temporary or limited control, but an infiltration of the individual's whole life - your decisions and actions now and for all the foreseeable future. Not a lot of people know this........ Let us suppose that your mind is controlled. Would you know? How could you?

Surely the whole point of mind-control is that the person being controlled is unaware? If, as one of Jehovah's Witnesses, you have difficulty agreeing with this, you must be aware that one of your major teachings is that Satan the Devil is the ruler of this world. Everything, everyone on this planet, except Jehovah's Witnesses, is under his control. Do people know this? No! Witnesses teach that Satan has blinded the minds of the unbelievers (non-JWs) and that they are oblivious to his mind- control. In Watchtower illustrations, the Devil has been depicted as a manipulator of strings attached to governments and people of this world, his world. Does the puppet know it is manipulated? If Jehovah's Witnesses are indeed under mind-control, how is this accomplished?
Dr Robert Lifton, a psychologist who studied subjects who had been brainwashed by the Chinese during the Korean War, offered eight criteria to determine that subjects had been exposed to mind-control. These are: Milieu Control Mystical Manipulation
