Maybe the GB is like whatever political party is operating in Canada at any given time. Whenever a new government is elected the deficit (or, theoretically, the surplus) that remains from the previous government is passed along. The new government makes political promises based on the projected tax revenues for their term. When they get elected and the previous deficit lands in their laps, they increase taxes or pass along the deficit to the provincial governments, and blame the old government that left the deficit for the increase in taxes.
But, it's always the taxpayer who foots the bills, the current government claims no accountability for the financial crapfest that they've gotten the country into.
Remember the 1975 thing?? Who made all the predictions about 1975 being the "end of 6,000 years of human existence on earth"?? Who published "suggestions" about the end being a matter of "months" away, not "years" or even "decades"?? Who claimed it would be foolish and an utter waste of time for young people in the early to mid-70s to get an education or put money away for retirement when the urgency of Armageddon was upon the world??
Then, when 1975 came and went without incident... what did the GB say?? What did they have the complete and utter audacity to say??? They claimed that it was "overzealous" JWs who put too much emphasis on 1975. Fred Franz stood up in front of an audience and shook his finger at them and scoldingly said that Armageddon didn't come in 1975, because "YOU" believed (what we told you) that Armageddon would come then. Yep, pass the bill on for idiocy of the Theocracy? to the Publishers?. Shame on all of "US" for believing the word of a Prophet?.
