Yup, we shore don't want adoration going to our writers. Why, it'll go to their heads.

On the other hand, just in case folks insist on names and faces -- well, we'll just give them (drum roll, please) ours: The Governing Body

Honesty

A couple of those pictured members of the Gibbering Buddy have gone on to their reward...

They had to count inactives this time in order to post a positive growth. That trick will keep them looking as if growing for several more years, but if they don't do major reforms then it's over with. They would have to dump the blood-letting death doctrine, stop sending pedophiles along with innocent JWs in preaching, emphasize informal witnessing lots more. The other Governing Body members are too chicken of Ted Jaracz to boot him out and get the reforms done.

This is an interesting topic.

In the remote past, people knew who were the writers

I agree that the average article is not of great difficulty. But the main problem it is the repetition of what had already been written in the past.

Some people have compared the Awake magazine with Readers Digest, But i thing the Awake is far away from the Digest.

You know, just thinking on this now, how exactly does the society pass this off as Biblical? All the inspired Bible writers are freely mentioned, why would the current "channel of communication" hide their identities?

"Come out come out who ever you are ,come out from under that star."

Obviously the leaders of the New World Soc.since the passing of old man Rutherford have not wanted the credentials of it's writers made public because let's face it they have no gravitas in themselves, they are just ordinary people spouting a sermon within a straight jacket of doctrine.Sometimes they have to ammend previous thoughts and statements then they are put on" light" duties until the rank and gullible have swallowed the latest twists and turns.So who tells them to write the new trash ? must be the Governing Body who say, for instance " no! no! a thousand times no! you can't say the generation who saw 1914 will not pass away, please edit it out now at once if not sooner."

Another reason for the hidden identity is that if any of them decide to commit an offence worthy of the big elbow it will not reflect badly on the so called Jehovahs channel of communication.

What a great point...

Another reason is to keep up the pretenses that the spiritual food is being prepared by the FDS whereas most of their writings are being done by the non anointed, not that I believe in this separation but it shows their hypocrisy. None of the anointed non GB members can write anything but the non anointed friends of the GB can do just that.

maybe it's to retain full copyright control so they won't be able to sell the articles or research to secular magazines.

they must have a NDA with the writers or something similar to keep them in check....anyone have the inside scoop on that?

The writers, whoever they are, have ramped up the prophecy smack to a high pitched whine. You would think that Steve Quayle and Brother Stair were ghost writing for them.
