I Don't Think The Witnesses Really Care If You Can Explain Doctrine As Long As You Accept Them!

    "It seems to me that the current GB is the product of a "second generation" in the cult (no overlapping pun intended). People like Russell, Rutherford and Franz were founders. Now the ones in charge, the only ones left, are the followers -- the ones who learned from the founders but aren't made of the same stuff. There's an intellectual dilution akin to an artist who copies another artist's painting."

    I agree Apognophos. If it goes on long enough I wonder what the followers of the followers will sound like? Abstract comics maybe?

    Never mind. I can hardly deal with the dumbed down emptiness of the current situation. Mind you, I don't even believe in the infallible word of the Bible anymore but please............it is still a collection of books that can be commented upon. The Commentary on the Letter of James was probably the last good book the WT ever produced but yeah........Ray Franz wrote that one.

    When I was " in" from 1960 - 1993 you had a hard time trying to find a fellow witness who would discuss the bible or watchtower doctrines with you .

    The most common comment to me was "oh we get enough of that at the meetings " end of discussion .

    “NVR2L8”: “Why attempt to explain your beliefs when they are already explained in the WT literature or reasoned out for you in the reasoning book.”

    Well, the Reasoning From the Scriptures book quickly became old light, or dark light, don’t you know. That’s why the covers are such a dark shade of brown. . . . which is certainly an appropriate color for what’s inside.

    You're kidding, aren't you? They have a history of not even caring if you AGREE with the doctrine once you understand it...
