  ADJUSTMENTS and Julia- I agree!

  Over the years the new gb have continuously drawn more attention to itself and its importance. They ARE Jehovah!

  My jw brother always says the f&ds (gb) are the mouthpiece of Jehovah. To disobey them is exactly the same as disobeying Jehovah. In their minds they can't seperate the organization and gb from Jehovah-they are one and the same.

  Terry-yes, the constant indoctrination and repitition at meetings and in the publications has linked Jehovah with the gb- they are the same.

  friedPotato-excellent observation! Yes-that does seem like a confession from the gb-their thoughts exactly!

  Everything printed in the WT nowadays needs to be decoded. In print they may say one thing, but in practice its another thing. I always liked the CO's telling us to look at the illustrations and pictures in the WT as a 'guide line' for dress and grooming.

  Ok, sisters-- only ankle length dresses from now on.

  When you actually sit and think about it, the control over the mind that they have is terrifying. Let's just say thank God for the Internet, because it is the Internet that is 100% unstoppable and it is this vehicle that is bringing all this info to the masses.

  Oooooo, maybe that's why they they advise having computers in a public place in the house, not because of the temptation to look at porn, but because they don't want members of the family doing something as simple as googling "Jehovahs Witnesses". Lol. Lovely can of worms!! :)

  If you track the study articles, you'll learn that they are mostly all about the organisation! Overtly or discreetly, they are all geared to engender loyalty and obedience to the organisation.

  All JW's must unquestioningly and obediently follow the organisation to gain salvation. The Bible calls this IDOLATRY!

  Damn straight. Bait with promises of patting tigers n good health n no war, making god happy n having all these nice new friends, then switch for the Governing Body and the "Channel".

  So let me get this straight, you are all saying that if you replace the words in the watchtower with different words then the article takes on a new and sinister meaning? No shit, Sherlock. If you replace all the words it could be Dickens or Shakespeare. There are plenty of things that these idiots do that are real and provable, making stuff up doesn't exactly make us seem reasonable.

  yadda yadda 2 - exactly - the success of this organization is built on its being able to get believers to equate them with God such that every time theytalk about Jehovah the believers think of the organization.

  Also the word "love" is always wrong when they use it.

  Loyalty to God's oraganisation means the GB

  Loyalty is only a part of love or the natural result of satisfied love.

  There can be loyalty without love, as with duty or obligation - or fear

  Love is an attachment that comes from the heart and soul,

  Loyalty comes from the mind ,

  which may or may not encompass deep seated inspired love....

  but rather a less satisfying principled love or sense of obligation.

  Loyal love is authentic love ... it is a most precious & ideal love.....

  that is built over time by trust , honesty and mutual respect

  it cannot be bought or sold or come about by guilt , threats or fear !!

  there are no one-way streets in this pure love

  so pleasant... so pure "coming straight from the heart"
