    I just heard a few commercials on T.V. that made me flashback to how we were taught and trained in the Org.

    When I compare the two now there are so many similarities.  Both of them seem nothing more than sales pitches.

               To try and get people motivated to buy their products that some would normally not think twice about even

    purchasing many companies have realized to attach a sense of urgency to their product. With phrases such as:

    for a limited time only, only a short time remaining,  time is quickly running out, get it while you can, etc.   they

    have cashed in on peoples fears of missing out.

                  The one thing I've noticed is you can bet on them to increase the time perpetually by saying something like

    due to overwhelming customer response we have decided to increase/extend the time period. This sounds so much

    like what happened with the society as regards the end coming.  It's close, very close,just around the corner,nearer

    than you may think, act now while there is yet time, the time left is reduced etc.

                   Each time one of these campaigns was pushed the end result was the same as with these other companies:

    more sales/sells, more sense of urgency, more gathering to get in line for the product/service that was only going to

    be for a little while longer.

    Stone,

    Excellent point ... fear is our most powerful emotion, and sale people know how to use it. Having work in sales for many years, I used 'fear' in ethical ways to induce people to make a decision. Yes, there is an ethical way to employ fear ... the Watchtower does not use such ethics.

    They need to really do more, do more, do more! 

    As a poster on another thread made mention, theyre message is tired.  They need a new corporate spin on things - dancing girls, rap music, disco lights while they pronounce theyre inferiority complex on the nations....

    When I  went to work for a large corporation and  prepared monthly meetings for the  employees and had to present with charts, etc.  I  then could see what was going on with the push that the WTBT$$  was doing.. it was a large corp  pushing for targets to be met, quotas given, rewards  passed out, i.e. elder, ms, pioneer, life  .. after that all I do is watch to see how it all works out, unfortunately lives are involved now

    Thanks for this it has given me a good reply when Dubs say to me "You know the end is soooooo close"

    Here in the U K we have a sofa company that has been running a sale that is" just about to end", for YEARS !

    So I will reply:      "Yea as close as the end of the DFS sale !"

    ( Off topic,I saw an advert the other day for Sofa King,their tag line was "Our prices are Sofa King low !"

    Love

    I have seen a lot of limited-time offers that were extended for another 6 months or more.  Then, when they do finally expire, I find out that I didn't really need that product after all.  Either they sold the exact same (or a better) item in another store (often for less), or it was a complete piece of crap and I would see reviews on how all the people taken in on the offer had nothing but trouble with the product (along with being hounded to buy other crap that will result in recurring credit card bills forever, for nothing).

      Close

      Confirm ...
