Listener ~ When you have an organization starting to turn on itself then you know that it only encourages followers to leave.
Let us hope it is a death knell for the WBT$.
The whole WBT$ system is corrupt and the cracks are showing....and other cliches.......I fear they are set to survive though despite the hate from within.
Steve2, do you think they are still on the branch committee? When he went back to USA he would order a ZO visit and reshuffle the whole committee. I f heard and seen these changes happening.

How can not the average dub see how the attitude of these guys has changed with the passing away of the older members like Pierce and Barr?
It's more and more about them, I agree with the OP...for a GB member to slate a Branch saying he didn't get treated right and therefore his "big brother" Jebus will sort them out is so high and mighty it beggars belief.
You would never have heard older GB members say these kind of things. I really hope they do more of this kind of stuff because it just highlights what the GB really are, men.
I'm also sure that if the members of the GB continue in this attitude you may see internal fights develop, that would rock the boat...
It is now getting more and more obvious as a cult...I just watched the film The Sacrament...if you haven't seen it watch it...its uncanny how alike the film and the GB are...
nswtg - How can not the average dub see how the attitude of these guys has changed with the passing away of the older members like Pierce and Barr?
I think up until now, your average JW had very little idea who the Governing Body(R) even were. There is little for them to compare the new paedophile protecting men to.
The JWs believe the crap because they've undergone powerful thought reform/mind control and are very brainwashed by all the propaganda from the WBT$. They are sheep sadly. It's truly awful to watch them.
I hope that the hatred that seems to come from A Morris III will awaken many to the 1984 type regime they are under.
Double-plus-good.
Lett is a buffoon; Morris is a smarmy little guy with a real attitude, as noted above. ('We love this idea')
Our dear brothers on the faithful and discreet slave!
What a blessing from Jehovah!
"I wasn’t treated too well in this particular Branch territory, and I said to my friend, well it’s not me they need to worry about, it’s my Big Brother, THAAATS who they better worry about. Yeh, hmm, we had to pray for those brothers over there, (LAUGHS)."
TRANSLATION: The/some Branch Members met Tony in person and were finally able to "see the man behind the curtain". Sounds like somebody at that Branch didn't kiss his ring ass enough like he is so accustomed.
Of course, any such Branch Member who awakens better STFU or they'll be out on their ear without a dime and cut off from every friends they ever [thought] they had.

From the past:-- N.Knorr got into a conflict in an underground branch/missionary home with one of the key men, who was also the financier of the wt enterprise in that opposing territory. This "brother" was so peeved at the situation that he showed wt the door. Knorrs comment: " The society just just been evicted "
Doubtful that the incident found it's way into the public talks of the Frantz/Knorr ensemble.
more shite from the excreting Slave
There was more Orwellian content before the 'they oughta be worried about my big brother' comment.
At about 3h11m, after raising questions about the parable of the talents that are going to be discussed, he says,
"Now I thought I would just quote our new Kingdom book at this point, and Brother Splane helped us to understand - sometimes we'll have cherished teachings, we've been saying it for decades, and we trust the brothers that printed it decades ago and that's fine, but when it's time then we need to adjust our thinking if the teaching's being adjusted. It's not complicated. [Audience laughs; AMIII shrugs and laughs] And we all just treasure our new Kingdom book. There's so many wise things in there, illustrations, artwork - you can't find any place else other than Bethel and other than the book. So here's what we said on page 37, paragraph 18 - and you'll see how it applies to this and to what you just heard with Brother Lett and you'll hear here and you're going to hear with Brother Jackson, by the way:
"'Just as Jehovah progressively revealed truths about the Kingdom in the period leading up to 1914, he continues to do so during the time of the end. ... God's people have had to adjust their understanding on a number of occasions. Does that fact mean that they do not have Jehovah's backing? On the contrary! He supports them. Why? Because those who fear Jehovah have displayed two qualities that he loves - faith and humility. Jehovah's servants have faith that all the promises in God's Word will come true. They show humility when they admit that they misunderstood exactly how those promises would be fulfilled.' Or the teachings. 'That humble attitude is reflected in the March 1, 1925, issue of The Watch Tower,' - and this is profound back in 1925, quote: '"We know that the Lord is his own interpreter, that he will interpret his Word to his people in his own good way and in his own due time."'
"Jehovah's running this organization. He's the rider of the chariot and we're pleased to follow the best we can and keep up with it."
On other words, Jehovah's running the show and progressively revealing truths to His Org but His Org has misunderstood those revealed truths, but that's OK and we can still trust the Org because, when the Org realizes they misunderstood His revealed truths, they can humbly say 'oops, Lord, my bad' each time and adjust their understanding to the 'correct' interpretation (which might not be correct in the long run depending on whether or not the Org misunderstood God's revealed truths yet again). Even though the Org has taught cherished UNtruths for decades, Jehovah has allowed it and still supports it! Anyway, it's not complicated: when the Org makes changes to teachings and practices, just be obedient, nodding sheeple and suck it up because Jehovah's running the show ... . (Circularreasoningworksbecausecircularreasoningworksbecause...)
What a mindjob! So again,
Either
- Jehovah is purposefully giving His Org the run-around which means He is a capricious deity and can't be the God of Truth.
Or
- The Org is just doing its own thing, taking interpretational stabs in the dark and hoping something sticks, in which case Jehovah can't be running the Org.
You can't have it both ways, Tony.
he really said that?!?!??! what narcissism! and verbal bullying......
