  Impressions of the Governing Body; who's smart, who ain't?

  by Room 215 in

  based on what we've seen, it seems to me that of the seven, splane and jackson are the smartest; herd, lett and morris the least intelligent; and sanderson and losch somewhere in the middle.

  .

  what's your impression?.

  I think the new kid on the block Sanderson actually outshines all of them in many ways.

  In fact if I were to place a wager on which GB member most likely to wake up? I would say Sanderson.

  Has anyone noticed how in the October JW Broadcast, Losch encourages good works towards ALL people?

  i can't help but notice how this past year alone has seen the gb start to turn more towards the teachings of the christ instead of peddling their falsities.. study articles have talked in length about the fine works of christ.

  assemblies have been dedicated to speaking about christ.

  and this month's broadcast is about doing good to others copying the example christ left for us.. what's more shocking is that losch actually says kids should speak, share, and even give food and clothing to non-believers!!

  I 'm beginning to think these broadcasts are produced so in the furture they can provide proof to Government or the courts that they do encourage charitable works, and provide disaster relief, and protect children, and don't beg for money, and dignify women.

  "See, we do all this super wonderful christiany stuff, our broadcasts say so"

  Don't you love the way they think that if they preface a made up statement with something like "it's obvious" then that makes it so.

  Who do they think they are? Captain Kirk?

  "Make it so"

  Are CO's talks scripted now?

  If so, the info is directly from "Mother." The CO is just a good little WT soldier following orders.

  artemis legal offers litigation church abuse and immigration services.

  artemis legal has launched an inquiry into group or class action against the jehovahs witness in australia.

  this follows criticism by the australian royal commission into the institutional responses to child sexual abuse that revealed flaws in the deeply secretive religions attitude to dealing with child abuse and in response to a spike in recent enquiries to the sydney based law firm.. http://www.artemislegal.com.au/jehovahwitness/ .

  Ooh, hope so.

  Is it possible the Australia Branch will become too much of a legal liability for WT???
