The Beauty of Governing Body Guilt

    Recently, I ran into a bureaucratic state problem and then a similar issue with a corporation. Now, it can be argued that you can never really figure out exactly who is responsible for the mess. It does no good to yell at a receptionist or company lackey who barely knows what you're talking about.

    On the other hand, you can be an ex-jw and know exactly who is responsible. Because you suffer the effects of a centralized cult, you can freely blame the Governing Body for nearly any injustice you encounter in the "truth". They call the shots. They continue the fraud. They maintain the death-dealing blood issue. They wreck your family by insisting on enforced shunning. They preach to kids against college. They allow no dissent. They allow no questioning of their actions. They are responsible, guilty, period!

    I have to laugh when I see most protestors blaiming Obama for nearly everything. They need to be Witnesses and enjoy the ability to know confidently that this oppressive leadership is indeed massively guilty of that which Witnesses - and ex-Witnesses - suffer.

    Yep. We've seen many ex-elders here who kick themselves for "following orders from headquarters"

    I agree - here is a really stupid example - It is the reductio ad absurdio treatment to an argument. The Governing Body suddenly releases a WT article saying masturbation (or other ) is GOOD for you.

    The JW response - PRAISE JAH.

    If the GB sya something it is taken as law. So they are responsible. THE BUCK STOPS WITH THEM as HS Truman would say

    I definitely think that is something we need to harp on! We could use some good You tube videos well done that point everyone in their direction. I wish I had the ability to do it. But it would sure be good if someone talented at that sort of thing would put some up nailing the Governing Body to the wall for all their cruel policies.
