Greetings Truthsetsonefree,
More good stuff from Ray Franz on the fiction of the FDS class. He speaks of the "other sheep" actually supplying most of the "food," and how its perusal [their writings] by the GB gives said writings an "anointed touch."

Which makes me ask:
I understand why MEN want to belong to this religion. But, WHY oh why do females go along with it?
Mainstream conservative Christian religion, especially Evangelical, is not that far removed from the same oppressive status for women.
In the Muslim religion women are sock puppets for male domination.
WHY DO WOMEN PUT UP WITH THIS in today's seemingly more enlightened society????
Why? Why? Why??
Religion would vanish from the face of the Earth overnight if women would wake up and stand up for themselves!!
After all there is no record kept of the names of the so called FDS, so how do they even know whom they should contact.
Would you believe that my friend swears that he has sent this data to WT?! I have served as a PO and have never done this. Furthermore he swears that there are times when some anointed one writes in and changes a policy. I retorted that an exception does not disprove my point. Then he says that ALL anointed have this right and that it is their fault if they don't choose to use it. What is sad is that this elder has contacts on the GB directly and still can't see the hypocrisy.

Scully, you are a riot. I'll be damned if it ain't true though.

The FDS is the evil slave!!
Terry,
You sound like someone I know by another name that I met in Myrtle Beach. Am I mistaken?

Terry,
Never mind, I read your Biography and you are someone else. But I appreciate the fact that you have become so enlightened and are now awake to the truth of this FDS fiasco.
