Some Angry Followers of Scientology

This is a very interesting and disturbing video. It would appear that Scientologists don't like to be videotaped.

Watchtower Comments (Comments You Won't Hear at the Watchtower Study)

Every week, Jehovah's Witnesses from around the world study the same information in the Watchtower magazine. It's a mind numbing exercise (following a long Bible discourse, now mercifully shortened to thirty minutes) that involves reading a paragraph from the study, asking questions, and then answering them from the same paragraph. Sometimes, out of context scriptures are also read. It is an important part of their indoctrination process and is often the medium they use to announce their frequent changes in doctrine.

Recently, Jehovah's Witnesses have split their Watchtower magazine into a public and private edition. In theory, you have to attend their Kingdom Halls to receive the members only edition. There has been a lot of speculation that the new private edition will contain stronger, more mind controlling language to tighten the control on their members. So far, the scanned copies floating around the Internet seem to support this.

I have family in that cult and am very concerned about these ominous changes. They already enforce ritualised shunning of former members. They also require allegiance to a suicidal blood policy. What are their plans for the future?

Of course, Jehovah's Witnesses are sadly mistaken if they believe they can shield their private Watchtower from outside scrutiny. One example is an excellent new video series called Watchtower Comments. It analyses the Watchtower lesson for each week, pointing out inaccuracies, logical fallacies and efforts at mind control. Here is the introductory video.

A Message to Scientology

It appears that some people are really upset about Scientology. If you watch this video, you'll know what I mean.

You may also enjoy reading this article about the movement. I think we all have good reason to be concerned about cults and high control groups. We never know when a family member or friend could get involved and shut us off. They often threaten the unity of families, the basic building block of society. I am personally being shunned by most of my family because of simple disagreements with Jehovah's Witness teachings. I am committed to fighting the power of cults and high control groups and applaud others who are doing the same.

Fun With Covers, An Amusing Video Series

Humor can be a refuge. Jehovah's Witnesses distribute millions of magazines and brochures in their efforts to spread their peculiar teachings and make converts. The fact that these publications can be a source of endless humorous comments hasn't gone unnoticed. I hope you will enjoy this video.
