Two Deadly Observations

    I am not terribly shocked that the Society, in its
    Knorr/Rehoboam wisdom, decided to repress whistleblowers.

    Nor am I surprized when the Watchtower deceives, dissembles,
    misleads or quotes out of context.

    But ask yourself a question:

    Suppose Brother Brown showed up smoking a cigarette?
    Suppose he came to work with his arm around a fishnet stocking
    wearing hooker?

    Would he get into trouble? Would they form a committee?
    Probably so.

    However, there is no corresponding reaction to public lying!
    What I find so SHOCKING is the apparently CARELESS and CASUAL
    lying - THIS IS DIFFERENT - and a surprizing development
    in Theocratic policy!

    I knew Br. Brown and don't consider him crazy.
    I therefore have to wonder what kind of atmosphere causes
    him to think that lying can be done with impunity, without
    any judicial oversight - this is profound - and speaks volumes
    about the INTERNAL WORKINGS of the WATCHTOWER SOCIETY and how they
    have degenerated.

    Another observation: Consider how the 'Prisoners' Dilemma'
    could destroy the Watchtower. This classic problem states
    that prisoners held escape punishment - AS LONG AS NOBODY
    SELLS OUT to the authorities.

    With all this exposure falling on them, I continue to think
    that ONE person with the right evidence, the right files,
    exposing the fraud behind BLOOD TRANSFUSION could destroy
    the organization.

    Who's it gonna be?

    Somebody from legal? Service? Somebody that planted 'bugs'?

    It could happen
    I'd be worried, if I were them.

    Metatron, I love your thought-provoking posts-heres my take on it.

    As visible as JW's are in door-to-door activity, they have still been a "closed society." The cult control tactics have seen to this. But with the latest scandal, the world is gettng a peek inside. This is NOT a side of themselves the WTS ever wanted to be public.

    Will someone on the "inside" panic? Hard to say, but the news coverage out here now opens up a realm of possibilities.

    An insider may conclude, "Wow, the Pandelos, Bowen, Anderson-they are gettng lots of support-maybe its NOT so bad out there."

    Who knows? ANYTHING can happen.

    degenerated? not really,

    just situations have come up to show where they have been all along.

    someone from legal dept?

    Iit will be a matter of time before another "Ray" come out with all the proof... They have been producing lawyers one of them will do it.

    Look to what Rutherford's (WT)lawyer did, history repeat.

    One more Ray Franz would wreck them.

    The blood issue is a ticking bomb that could go off at any
    moment, exposing them to a wave of lawsuits - and even possible
    violence.

    All we need now is an 'Abner' leaving the house of Saul, to
    collapse on itself - somebody tired and fed up with all the lies
    and needless deaths.

    I think they pursue the bloodless surgery hype partly for internal
    consumption - ONE THOUGHT could destroy them! If enough of the
    Bethel/Paterson cabal believed that they are killing innocent
    people for nothing, the 'spiritual centrifugal force' would
    tear them apart.

    Hi met, their lying is only 'adding' to their downfall. They better take a lesson from the farmer who saw the manure running down hill and said, 'this shit gotta stop!'

    I'd love to be a fly on the wall in a GB boardroom, as those relatively more progressive Bigwigs, who balked at the iron-fisted treatment of the whistle-blowers and agues for a more enlightened policy, recriminate the hardasses who got their way.

    I'm reminded of those old Laurel and Hardy comedies, the ones when Hardy upbraids Laurel for ``the fine mess you've gotten us into!''

    Don't you people understand? The Society is NOT going anywhere. There are way too many hardcore old-timers in it for that to happen for DECADES yet...so hang tight...
