  If you strive for "success" you will almost certainly fail, if you strive for excellence -success is guarranteed.

  Public opinion is a fickle mistress, the subjects that titilate or enfuriate seem to evoke the most response.

  Will the Societies tighten their grip even more with the power slipping?

  i think its pretty clear that the gb are power hungry.

  you cannot listen to the branch visit and not see clear as day that there are some of them that are loving the power.

  it showed the clearest with anthony morris.. now all these sex abuse scandals and news media are taking their power away.

  i got to thinking the other day about how the wt uses loaded language.

  and spin to give thinly veiled credence and so-called respectability to their policies.. but why not call a spade a spade.

  why not identify the true nature of a policy,.

  while there are not too many currently defending the watchtower in this discussion forum, it happens from time to time.

  and quite often, there may be new people and lurkers reading these discussions.

  i just wanted you to ponder these questions.

  Is it possible to not go off on a tangent, I would be interested in hearing a WT defender's response to the original question.

  A very reasonable question, I might add.

  "How did you enjoy the meeting"= a statement disguised as a question, should actually read: "you have to enjoy the meeting...everyone does".

  Yes I remember when I first researched this, I found it very interesting.

  Helped explain why we seem to focus so much on d2d work but let "weak" ones just slip away into oblivion.

  In fact this info helped me to see that it wasn't me who "failed" them, but it was them who failed me.

  They were awful, simply awful.

  Old boys network, everything in the cong was arranged for their own families

  convenience, while the rest of us could "go to buggery". Them and their

  families treated the congregation and the KH like it was their own personal kingdom.
