an "elite" group is one which has special privileges not granted to others.. and obscurantist elite, is a group which hides information by virtue of its own claim to be special and a sole source in dispensing necessary truths.. to wit:.
the gb's elitism shines through in articles such as this:.
“thus the bible is an organizational book and belongs to the christian congregation as an organization, not to individuals , regardless of how sincerely they may believe that they can interpret the bible .
Yes, I agree very elitist. You could also liken it to a sort of religiously based "feudalist" system whereby the "ruling class" (GB) own all the information and only allow the "tenants" of that "kingdom" selected information. Since information is the currency who holds the information holds all the power thus creating a power imbalance that keeps the "subjects" pacified, compliant and obedient all the while being told that this system is for the benefit of all.
Or you could just call it a cult.
the organization has many problems.
certain doctrines are problematic.
the men who run the organizaion have issues.
Thank you Outlaw. Yes, that's what I was trying to say the frankenreligion is alive.
Now, if only the villagers would go all pitchforky on it.
this should be fun.
building a wall is unchristian.
i can't understand why the pope is getting involved in american politics.. poor donald..
Yeah, what an arguement.
Pope: "You're not christian"
Trump: "No. You're not christian"
Pope: "You're not christian"
Trump: " I love money and power"
Pope: "What a coincidence, I love money and power too. My broooother"

The biggest problem with WT is WT.
This group was sewn together like frankenstein's monster with bits taken from this group and that, and whatever was missing Russell provided his own whacked out theories and declared "It lives." He got a modest following, and after his death Boozerford saw an opportunity to make some money and get some power.
Now, the monster still lives and people are still suffering, dying and families and lives being torn apart.
Everything about this group is wrong even the bits that are "right" are wrong.
thought it would be good to share what ones take to deal with the meetings.
Crazy pills, of course.
saw in atlantis post re pioneer school abroad this in brnch letter.

Dear Slaves/Brothers
Get your hypno-screens ready. We are dialling up the propoganda to ludicrous speed.
Your Masters and Fat Controllers
G.O.D.
The final paragraph in that article is very iluminating.In a nutshell describing relationships with the WT.
"one-sided" -check
"exploititive" - check
"toxic "- check
You could be on to something there, poopie.
The trifecta of emotional abuse.
over the weekend a very nice, caring individual was killed in a car accident after meeting.
she was 32 y/o and has a 3 year old daughter.
her husband was driving home from meeting when his car slid off the road, came back on the road, and was broad sided by a truck.
This sort of incident is why it so important to use you own better judgement rather than blindly believe and obey the spoken and unspoken "rules" of this cult. This cult does not care who dies in the process of "obeying."
You are expendable colateral damage - nothing more.
Stop listening
Stop obeying
Stop being harmed!
romans 13 : 1-4 clearly states that the superior authorities are an arrangement from god , defy them and you are working against the arrangement of god at your own peril.. christians are to be obedient to the superior authorities ,"for their is no authority except by god , the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by god .therefore he who opposes the authority has taken a stand against the arrangement of god ".
matt.
4 :8-10 shows that all the kingdoms and governments are under satan`s control , jesus never disputed that claim .
Excellent point smiddy!
Yes, why would they tell us to be obedient to the superior authorities supposedly controlled by Satan but put in place by God. Classic WT double -speak. I always thought WT has more in common with Satan than with Jesus anyway, by WT's own descriptions of Satan.
