This was posted up at my work. It’s relevant so I am sharing it with all of you. Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, all of the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. After a while, another monkey makes an attempt with the same result, and all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon the monkeys will try to prevent it.
Now, put away the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his surprise and horror, all the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be attacked.
Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm! Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a fourth, then the fifth.
Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he’s attacked. Most of the monkeys that are beating him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs or why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey. After replacing all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the banana.
Why do members of the WMSCOG continue to do things the way they do even after learning of some of the major problems with their doctrine? Because that’s just the way it’s done and to raise too many questions is to bring judgment down. The truth is available to them but when they reach for it they are beaten down by the group.

Jesus was killed by Romans, not Jews. While the Jews were not unhappy he was killed, the actual killing was done by Romans. The Romans saw him as a rabble rouser and something of a revolutionary. According to Pontius Pilate, he left it up to the Jews to determine whether or not death was warranted. The Jewish leaders said Yes. So the Romans (not Jews) crucified him. Get your story straight, Renita.
Lol.. Anywho, I was referring to the start. Whenever I have a problem, I look for the bud. The Jews in the case of crux. Jesus are the bud. From what I understand which apparently isn't much of anything, the roman leader guy didn't want to crux. Jesus. But the Jews insisted that it be done. The reason I say the bud is the Jew is as follows: had not a Jew turned over Jesus to the romans, had not the Jews protested against His life, given that the roman leader guy really didn't care to crux. Jesus, He would not have been flogged or crux. But, this is just from my lack of all knowledge & undersanding. At this point, I don't care anymore. Whoever God is if God exists, let that entity have or have not mercy on me. From this post forward, I am posting based on what I heard or read & not what I believe.
I said the Navy shows cultish traits. You said like frocking. My "huh?" was me not understanding why you responded to my post with "like frocking." Basically, explain how frocking is a cultish trait. You're very rude loocpoc & rather demeaning. You'd fit right in with my line of work.
I didn't ask about Navy culture. I asked what does frocking have to do with cult-like traits.. Plus, I don't like reading very much so if you could paraphrase, that would be greatly appreciated. Btw, I'm a paid E-4. This is my 3rd time changing my crows to PO3. I was PO2 twice. De-frocked & busted. =) I'm quite comfortable with my 1 chevron.
