Don't Overthink The Watchtower Society

    I often read various attempts at explanations of whatever changes the Watchtower Society comes up

    with that suggest a collective intelligence greater than anything I've actually observed.

    When I left Bethel, many years ago, I believed that Jehovah was guiding this organization because I

    didn't see much depth of intelligence in the Governing Body. The success of the organization seemed

    to be unrelated to the intellect of its leaders. What I failed to realize was how successful they are in

    covering up scandal and how easy it is to lead equally dumb people. It's not a miracle.

    Don't overthink the motives of these uneducated, biased, superficial clods. They aren't Fu Manchu

    or scheming Illuminati - just ex-window washers and circuit riders - or the "cracker cheese men"

    who greet you in Sam's club.

    If they come up with a new "generation", it's likely merely to justify appointing whatever shills they

    have to 'anointed ' positions indefinitely. If they dump the Awake, it's to save money or because

    they hate this embarrasing rag and want it to go away. If they need real thinking, the lawyers

    can handle that for them. Real thinking is a chore for these bozos. Crisis of Conscience is a real

    eye opener as to the depth of their 'wisdom'.

    Excellent point, Metatron. I agree we need to stand back and put this dog and pony show of a 'religion' in perspective. As you said, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to lead the R&F around by the ear.

    I whole-heartedly agree. A full generation of demonizing secondary education only leads to uneducated leaders, not brilliant strategists.

    That sure makes sense to have a whole organization that is dumb enough to be window washers. No one is going to be able to make sense of anything. They come up with non-sequitors that contradict each other, and people are blamed for not understanding the "deeper things". They divide things into a zillion different classes that are functionally identical and describe the exact same group. And they don't know what they are talking about. Only that they are trying to confuse the people.

    Metatron --

    You don't want to delve into the deeper meaning of the new "generation" teaching Jehovah is unfolding? C'mon it's fun. There has to be some connection to the Illuminati and the new-world-order in it somewhere!

    Good point in this thread. I was starting to read APOCALYPSE DELAYED. Chapter one mentions
    all of C.T. Russell's scandals and problems. If they all didn't leave the organization after the stuff
    he did, then the disappointment of 1914, I suppose they will never leave. He certainly wasn't the
    rocket scientist nor was he most reverant.

    Metatron, it has always seemed to me like some witnesses feel intelligent because it is the only thing in their life that they've ever "studied". The superiority given to the elders sickens me.
