JW as a secret society - a weak link in the Information Age. (page 2)

Ken Ham?

Other examples of obfuscation are the so-called "biographies" of the GB, published in the WT. They raise more questions than answers. Take for example, the one for (the late) Guy Pierce; carefully concealed between the lines is the fact that he was twice married and had children. In fact, Bethel scuttlebutt, which in fairness nobody can confirm, was that his first marriage ended in an acrimonious divorce.

That's true, biographical information about JW leaders is very selective. You'd think marriages and children would be included as a basic minimum not airbrushed.

Slimboyfat, yes the Internet has exposed many details and activities that might have never been revealed to the rank and file in the past.

One example a few years ago was the apartment complex they purchased with "dedicated funds" for over $50 million!

Why didn't they build enough space in Warwick to house the all the Bethelites for the move out of NY? Only space for 800 - 1000?

Who get to live in these luxury apartments? The faithful ones with the biggest secrets?

If the WTS is a "secret society", it's definitely one of the lamer ones... :smirk:
