    I'll elaborate later sista...and no, I wasn't asking who he/ she might be. It's becoming more obvious though.

    The study in April 15 WT, also said that when all the annointed had gone to heaven the other sheep "would have no need to fear for JEHOVAH WILL PROTECT THEM" this indicates a time before all the "enemies are destroyed".

    If this time is after armageddy, who are the OS being protected from - dead bodies? They are softening up the dubs for a very long pre armageddy sit-in.

    Very interesting observation, Hammsterbait. I believe you could be right.

    Excellent information, Barbara. Thank you.

    You know, when you think about it, all these qualified men in Bethel act like little boys. Who's got the best assignments, the biggest rooms, the most clout? It's all about prominence, isn't it??

    Leolaia: It is instead assumed that he had to have been; that is to say, the theory itself supplies the proof needed for the "evidence" to support the theory. That is classic circular reasoning.

    I was only going to post one, but you pulled me back in with this remark. It is the identical method used to establish JW chronology and many of the doctrines.

    Thanks for mentioning that, Leolaia. I just immediately saw a connection to the WTS methods. Anytime the WTS uses "obviously," "evidently," "It is reasonable that..." or any of dozens of other phrases that amount to "We have no proof but..." dig more deeply and you will find no basis at all.

    Dan told us that he was the one behind the idea for the Governing Body to have assistants. He specifically mentioned the need for ‘new blood,’ for men from outside of Bethel to be brought in to serve as assistants to introduce fresh, innovative ideas to the Governing Body

    does the holy spirit not do this then

    and arent gb members (as well as all appointed representatives) not supposed to be humble men..not seeking self glory..dan could easily have said as he should have if he felt the need to comment at all that it was decided to bring in helpers and the body went for older bethelites rather than younger field operatives and that this was a little disappointing...but no..it was his idea
