  Well as most of you know, when the Society reorganized the Governing body retired as officers, in fact the Society itself is run by earthbound members.

  Recently two Governing Body members kicked the bucket, Klein and Swingle. That leaves the JW's with just eleven governing body members, who spiritually feed the masses, while the other sheep run things.

  However, six of the eleven are so old they don't even know what time of day it is, the other five are younger and newly. It should be interesting to see what transpires in the years ahead, when there is no GB as the old Bowie song goes .... ch ...ch...changes

  You will see change to doctrines but not to the overall mentality. The witness structure is built on tight social control, relieving people of dealing with reality and providing people with a feeling of unearned superiority over others. These factors are what attract people to the witnesses and keep them there.

  Now, now, sw20!

  The Watchtower Society DOES recycle at all its facilities (at least I thought I was told that on a tour once in Brooklyn). In fact, as one of Jehovah's Witnesses, *I* always felt that participating in the voluntary recycling program in my neighborhood was good preparation for the caretaking we would be doing in future on the Paradise Earth!

  Makes me feel guilty, now that I think about it, that I threw my books and old WT/Awake! mags in the TRASH instead of the recycling box! Oh, dear!
