Can confirm. Am considering founding my own cult, and have been doing research. Partitioning/cloistering is up there with sleep deprivation, diet/calorie restriction and repetition of slogans/doctrine for effectiveness at keeping people pliable and in line.

how do you know the IED weighed 60lbs before it went off? or is that the post detonation weight?

i just tell them my whole family are apostates since the "you know, the whole 1975 thing - just can't trust the elders at Watchtower, ya know?" -- makes it quite believable, and they will leave FAST and never ever come back if you say those exact words.

For those not in the know, Watchtower heavily hinted over and over in 1974 that judgement day/Jehovah's Kingdom would be coming in 1975. many families sold all their earthly stuff to prepare for it, and were fucked when the end of the world did not come as they expected. JW's official stance after all this was that they never concretely said it was DEFINITELY coming in 1975, so they had no blame there. many families were pissed and left the fellowship on bad terms in those days. I'm old enough that it is plausible that I was a JW back then.

What is your opinion of US military people? did you work with any, and if so, how were they?

In your opinion, would a large part of the tension between north and south end if the US took its forces out of korea, or would the north just invade again?
