I saw Losch at two assemblies and he struck me as the quintessential hardline prick. I don't know anything about internal GB politics (who does?), but if this guy were to assume an informal leadership role, the Watchtower would swiftly take a swift turn down hardline road.
I was told that at one assembly he told the crowd that American Football was inappropriate for Christians. Too violent. I was in attendance at one assembly where he named off a list of movies that were not for Christians: The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, X-Files. He can also be seen on youtube condemning higher education. Needless to say, I'm not a fan of his.
