IWONDER 17- Thanks for sharing this latest assembly verbage. It appears the WT society and GB are running nervous now that most everybody has access to the internet . They want to keep Jehovah's Witnesses under what Steve Hassan calls " information control " so as NOT to find out incriminating negatives about the WT society which are so readily accessible on the internet . " Stop letting lingering doubts concern you ". Translation : " Don't question us, we are right, we know what the hell we are doing . Just listen to us. " Peace out, Mr. Flipper
