Privileges - code for "more menial work for you brother!"
There is a brother (whom I dearly love and respect) in my old hall who is the PO of BOE and he conducts the WT and now that it's so dumbed down he no longer really brings out any points. I can remember back in the day the WT discussion was lively and full of interesting things, extra research by others etc.... now it's just read, ask the question, get the stock answer and move along.... Anyway, this brother used to be a very fine teacher. Now when I listen to the meetings it's like he's a robot just moving the meeting along, no extras... Well all that above to say this, he has a stock phrase he uses WAY too much, he says it after almost every answer is given, I swear the bOrg has replaced him with a genetic clone....he always says "Isn't that so true?" "Isn't that soooo true?" I've heard it so many times it makes me cringe...... Sad.
The Organization - this never really set well with me. Now it's even worse. Nowhere in the Bible is the word Organization presented like that, and it's worshiped. Current JW's view the Org as profits and leaders under the direct hand of God....again, sad.
