We all know that the Governing Body are playing a dangerous game with peoples lives. Getting people to devote their lives to the cause of the of the Watchtower corporation and then finding out it was all a lie/delusion only to be even more mistreated by them if speak out about it.
I think it is a very dangerous situation they are in even right there at bethel, and here is why:
As knowledge increases about the lies and underhandedness of the Governing Body and their cruel policies,, more and more people are begining to hate the Governing Body, the more likely that someone in their midst "going postal"(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going_postal).
I think the likelihood increases as the cruelty of the Governing Body increases. As failed predictions become more and more harder to justify and the internet exposure becomes more intensified the less safer they are in their own little fortress, as many in their midst are waking up to the Truth about the truth.
I know the rage that one feels towards the leaders of this cult when they first learn that they have been decieved and realize they are going to be DF'd for speaking the truth about the truth loosing everything that ever mattered to them, because I was at one time experiencing it. So to me it would come as no surprise if someone at bethel finally lost it and went postal in an effort to get vengence on the leaders who's lies put them in a very difficult situation causing a feeling of hopeless and nothing left to live for, so feel the only option left is to turn to violence on their oppressors.
I really think the odds are not that great for this to happen, the Governing Body in my opinion are sitting on a potential powder keg smoking a cigarette. The more cruel acts they commit on the rank and file the greater the possiblity of bringing about this situation of someone going postal.
The no blood policy is another potentially dangerous situation for the Governing Body as rank and file members loose more and more family members due to this eddict. I can't even begin to approximate the feelings of rage and sadness a parents would feel if they found out the Truth about the truth and had lost a son or daughter because they had followed the Governing Body's restriction on blood use.
I seriously think these things are all adding up to spell disaster, the Governing Body is playing with fire and one of these days the likelihood of it happening a very real possiblity, sort of like playing russian roulette.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going_postal
Going postal, in American Englishslang, means becoming extremely and uncontrollably angry, often to the point of violence, and usually in a workplace environment.
The expression derives from a series of incidents from 1983 onward in which United States Postal Service (USPS) workers shot and killed managers, fellow workers, and members of the police or general public in acts of mass murder. Between 1986 and 1997, more than forty people were gunned down by spree killers in at least twenty incidents of workplace rage.

Main article: List of postal killings[edit] Edmond, Oklahoma in 1986
On August 20, 1986, 14 employees were shot and killed and six wounded at the Edmond, Oklahoma, post office by Patrick Sherrill, a postman who then committed suicide with a shot to the forehead. [ 3 ]
[edit] Ridgewood, New Jersey in 1991
A former United States postal worker, Joseph M. Harris, killed his former supervisor with a sword, and shot his girlfriend at their home. The following morning, on October 10, 1991, Harris shot and killed two employees at the Ridgewood, New Jersey Post Office. [ 4 ]

[edit] Double event in 1993
Two shootings took place on the same day, May 6, 1993, a few hours apart. At a post office in Dearborn, Michigan, Lawrence Jasion wounded three and killed two (including himself). In Dana Point, California, Mark Richard Hilbun killed his mother, then shot two postal workers dead. [ 6 ] [citation needed]
As a result of these two shootings, in 1993 the Postal Service created 85 Workplace Environment Analysts for domicile at its 85 postal districts. These new positions were created to help with violence prevention and workplace improvement. In February 2009, the Postal Service unilaterally eliminated these positions as part of its downsizing efforts. [ 7 ]
[edit] Goleta, California, in 2006
Jennifer San Marco, a former postal employee, killed six postal employees before committing suicide with a handgun, on the evening of January 30, 2006, at a large postal processing facility in Goleta, California. [ 8 ]
Police later also identified a seventh victim dead in a condominium complex in Goleta, California where San Marco once lived. [ 9 ]
According to media reports, the Postal Service had forced San Marco to retire in 2003 because of her worsening mental problems. Her choice of victims may have also been racially motivated; San Marco had a previous history of racial prejudice, and tried to obtain a business license for a newspaper of her own ideas, called The Racist Press, in New Mexico.
This incident is believed to be the deadliest workplace shooting ever carried out in the United States by a woman. [ 10 ] [ 11 ]
[edit] Baker City, Oregon, in 2006
Grant Gallaher, a letter carrier in Baker City, Oregon, pleaded guilty to the April 4, 2006 murder of his supervisor. [ 12 ] He reportedly brought his .357 Magnum revolver to the city post office with the intention of killing his postmaster. Arriving at the parking lot, he reportedly ran over his supervisor several times. Subsequently he went into the post office looking for his postmaster. Not finding the postmaster, he went back out to the parking lot and shot his supervisor several times at close range, ostensibly to make sure she was dead. He then reportedly fired several more bullets into the supervisor's car.
Grant Gallaher reportedly was on a new route for three weeks and had felt pressured by a week-long work-time study and an extra twenty minutes added to his new route. [citation needed] On the day of his rampage, he reportedly was ahead of schedule on his route and his supervisor brought him more mail to deliver. He allegedly decided to take the matter up with his postmaster on his cell phone and then went home to get his .357 Magnum revolver to exact his revenge. The work climate had reportedly improved from what it was in 1998, the year a union steward, age fifty-three, at the Baker City post office committed
Analysis
Researchers have found that the homicide rates worker at postal facilities were lower than at other workplaces. In major industries, the highest rate of 2.1 homicides per 100,000 workers was in retail. The next highest rate of 1.66 was in public administration, which includes police officers. The homicide rate for postal workers was 1.48 per 100,000. [ 13 ]
However, not all murders on the job are directly comparable to "going postal". Taxi drivers, for example, are much more likely to be murdered by passengers than by their peers. Working in retail means one is exposed to store robberies. In 1993, the United States Congress conducted a joint hearing to review the violence in the U.S. Postal Service. In the hearing, it was noted that despite the postal service accounting for less than 1% of the full-time civilian labor force, 13% of workplace homicides were committed at postal facilities by current or former employees.
