Michael, good post. question: What I observe in the case of the internet is simply a repeat of history. I remember the advent of the video recorder in the late 70s and how similar messages came out from the WT.
The similar messages were discouraging the use
of vcr and the "waste of time" right?
The internet's INTERACTIVE exchange of ideas
makes it a bigger threat to Brooklyn than VCRs
were, don't you think?
Back then, JWs couldn't run out and stock-up on movies that exposed the methodology used by the
WTB&TS.
I personally do not believe that root and branch reform will be possible.
I agree! What are your reasons
for thinking that reform won't happen?
Do not under-estimate the impact you have
In your opinion, Michael, which is worse:
the coercive-persuasion or their "history".
And if they don't know about how they are being
used and controlled, how could they possibly
be worried about the impact they have on others?
