    Henschel lives in the infirmery. How many decisions do you think HE's making?

    I think that it's between Adams and Jarecz and Brown.

    The GB members born pre-1935 are:

    Carey Barber (b.1905)

    John Barr (b.1913)

    Albert Schroeder (b.1911)

    Dan Sydlik (b.1919)

    Milton Henschel (b.1920)

    Theodore Jaracz (b.1925)

    Guy Pierce (b.1934)

    So it seems like the most powerful man in "Jehovah's organization" was not on God's list of original of annionted people (according to JW theology), unless he "received his calling" before the age of 10 .

    hello hillary.

    So when you say J is the boss, is it he who braught upp this extrem dfd thing who i was learning on a eldermeeting in sweden 1998, it was a rader strong talks ther,we hade been to soft, and we hade been taking back peopel all to early. I never forget this,i was disdurbd and so was a lot of others, but they blame it on our PO who was a so calld hard man.

    I now new that it come from Gb,and i have not seen so many comments on this on diffrent bords.

    For mee it was a milestone, for harder times, i dont now why, littel trubbel widh young peopel perhaps, but now when im saw the drama on last summer convention abaout kora and his sons, i understand that it was more to it.

    Hello HappyMan,

    Jaracz was the person who uttered at an elders school a few years ago that there are only two frames of conscience allowed to a Christian, the "Bible trained conscience" and "a bad conscience".

    Now the phrase 'Bible trained' as you know HappyMan, as you served as a elder for many years, should actually read 'WTS trained' . JW's do not exercise an individual conscience, but are hemmed in by a collective or group conscience. As such it is impossible to define their true religious motives. In this they bear much more resemblance in action to the desert tribes of ancient Arabia than to a living sense of Christian ethic.

    Best to you Happyman - HS

    Islandwoman, hard facts please. No inuendo.

    I meant earlier that I think that Don Adams, Ted Jarezc and J.R. Brown are the shaping and guiding force in Bethel today. I think that Don is the Administrator/Businessman, Ted is the "oracle", heavy, final say guy and J.R. Brown is the shaper of policy through public statements and control of the legal department.

    What do you think?

    Hillary, if you would like to coorespond via email, I find the internal struction of the GB and associated assistants, offices and committees fascinating and I don't know enough by a long shot.

    "Jaracz will soon die, spiritually. There is some news that is about to hit him hard!"

    You don't say.

    A spiritual death, like spiritual rape, is exactly what he Deserves. My hope is that the blunt force trauma that SOON DOES HIT HIM, will cause him severe 'scarring'.

    SWEET DREAMS TEDDY!
