This Relatively New Governing Body @ Bethel Not Liked By Bethelites Even the Ass Kissers

frankiespeakin

When I was a Bethelite back many years ago(1970's), a lot of bethelites would say negative things about Knorr, Kline, and other members of the GB in private conversation. There was at that time more freedom to express these things without feeling too threatened, which I feel is no longer the case.

Now we have a completely New Governing Body all appointed after 1999 except for Losch(1994). Since that time we have seen a steady increase in authoritarianism from this self proclaimed august body, where no descension or voicing a negative opinon with reguards to the Governing Body is allowed. This squashing and silencing of any opposition is enforced with the treat of disfelloshipping. In effect turning everyone there at bethel into yes men and ass kissers of the GB, being done more out of fear than love or genuine appreciation of the individual GB members. In other words a facade made to order by the GB's commanding and authoritarian nature.

So while the Governing Body are basking in the approval and ass kissing nature of those that surround them there must also be gossip behind their backs about them there at bethel, so to their faces everything is good and people are obediant but behind their backs is an under current of dislike and talk of incompetence, about these NewBoys on the GB.

Nice observation. Relatively, everybody in the GB are new, except for Losch.

When loesch first join the GB alot of the brothers at Brooklyn could not stand him. I remember being at the table and he would say things and my table head would look at his wife and shake his head. A few others would likewise do the same. They felt his Euro-style was not really all that fitting and it was also somewhat to opinionated.

Even Sydlik at lunch once trumped him on the whole football thing to a few of us stating that "sometimes brothers let their own prejudices cause them to state opinions as facts."

i think since the last of that group passed away that Loesch sees the ability to take the reins and force issues

We need to get a recorder in one of their meetings

@?evrything - When I was there my assignment in the office complex entailed me cleaning that room. So many times I thought - wow what I would do to be a fly on the wall. In hindsight I can imagine it would have been great if I did.

The had this ENORMOUS cherry wood table in there that the story was cost over a million dollars. I didn't believe it because in all honesty I was told to just use the bethel version of PLEDGE on it for the 4 months it was my assignment... but it was pretty.

Sweet leather chairs to. Good time LOL

Do you have evidence of this? You're making an assumption. While it may be somewhat valid, based on past experience, it's still only an assumption.
