Sorry but the uprising from within has been put-down.
If you start to research the legal departments goings on starting in the mid 80's you will find that they were in great hope of taking over. They changed the baptism questions to membership acceptance thus negating any and all future legal challenges from members ( i.e. you joined us, free will to leave any time). They also began dabbling more and more in secular legal cases. Later they settled suits against them to avoid having CO's and DO's defined by the courts as employees. Association with the UN greatly helped getting in to Eastern Block countries, the UN gave them "mainstream" status, allowed the legal department to make many new contacts and of course allowed them to represent the WTBS as a holocaust victim. Victim status goes along way in Europe. They were behind the restructuring of the GB duties to other "departments" run by non-annointed. All they had to then was wait until the current GB died or got far enough away from the 1935 doctrine. Then POOF they would be left to run the place, pushing us into the mainstream, losing doctrines that brought legal burdens like the blood issue.
Unfortunately Bro Ted/Gene Smalley must have figured it out. So! what to do all of a sudden when Dear Bro Barber began to fade? (b. 1905 I think). Hmmmm...... well of course Bro Gene Smalley the little lackey came up with a plan to rid himself and the GB of the impending strangle hold of his nemesis the LEGAL DEPARTMENT (they were always whining about his pet project the BLOOD DOCTRINE). So he announced that in the QFR column (his writing outlet) that the annointed had not been filled in 1935, thus extending it to eternity and beyond. A meeting was called and the "flash up" was announced. Still needing the Legal Eagles, an agreement was struck which benefited all main departments as follows:
GB- Goes on forever
Writing Department in coalition with the GB can extract even greater control of flock
Service Department- gets to print few magazines, cutting cost, labor, and building space. Are open now to consolidating not-profiting -us properties and expand their real estate ventures and selling used Co/Do cars (instead of donating them to need poor JWs).
Legal Department- Gets a bone.....they get a WT all of their own! They are allowed to continue their quest for mainstreaming JW's image. Any deals that are made in disagreement with WTBS DOCTRINE are considered Theocratic Warfare. Besides with the GB/Writing putting forth greater constraints on the freedoms of the flock, no R&F JW will ever hear or read about the Legal Dept escapades.
And thus ends the rebellion!
That reminds me.....I need to inform the Service Dept. that having uneducated poor is unhealthy for donations. Mmmm maybe I can convince them that all JW's need to become professionals. Let me see how did Bro G put it in his recent Sunday Talk in response to the "no higher education" flash.........
Oh I remember now.....He pointed out that he himself was B&R Jw but received a degree in Architecture. The degree allows him to work 3 days a week, to pioneer full-time, to do quick builds, and that he and his wife donate between 2000-5000monthly. His wife B&R JW too has a bachelors in nursing and works a few days a month. I heard her say she makes 55 dollars an hour!!!!
OH well the above could have been the norm.....if LEGAL had won......ahhhh freedom as long as we paid handsomely!
