with the organization controlled, totally and completely by the governing body, what would the watchtower society do to hold it all together if all or most of the governing body were to die?.
would the legal department step in and issue orders?
would the rest of the gb quickly appoint new members?

Who could have enough authority to take control?
Would someone have to pull a Judge Rutherford and seize control?
quickbuild's are something the jws crow about a lot as evidence of yahweh's "spirit" working on them, but amongst the puffery' there was a solid fact that the buildings were often the result of good planning rather than divine assistance.. and, in most cases the buildings were seldom built in a weekend.
a concrete slab foundation needed time to dry out before walls could be built.
and before the slab could be poured, the ground had to be levelled and services like plumbing and drainage roughed in.
I worked in my home woodworking shop for two months, evenings and weekends, to build four ministry school tables for a 'quick build' double Kingdom Hall. The tables were made out of two inch oak and laminate. They were very labour intensive. I had to put every thing else on hold. When the quick build weekend came, I delivered the tables, looked around at all the accountant and real estate agent elders with yellow hard hats on, and went home.
Two weeks later I got a call from an elder. He told me that the tables were too big for the platforms and told me that I would have to rebuild the tables to a smaller size. ???????? The tables were built exactly to the prints I received.
I politely told him '...I don't think so. Get someone else', and hung up.
"or perhaps there is an adult brother who is restricted from conducting the meeting or offering congregation prayer for reasons known by the elders.
without revealing confidential information, the elders should let the assigned sisters know that they should conduct and pray even if he is in attendance.".
too funny..
"Or perhaps there is an adult brother who is restricted from conducting the meeting or offering congregation prayer for reasons known by the elders.

So Chester cannot conduct the field service meeting. No one knows why. It's enough to know that he 'just can't'.
When the car groups are organized Chester can work with Becky. Chester likes working with Becky. No one said anything about Chester not working with Becky. Just that he could not conduct the field service arrangement. So Chester asks Sis Conductor, ' Can I work with Becky'? 'Sure' says Sis Conductor. That phone call didn't say anything about working with Becky. Just not to let Chester conduct the field service arrangement. I'm sure they would have told me if he shouldn't work with Becky. 'Of course Chester, you can work with Becky. Maybe she can go in your car. Why don't you take her to some of your return visits? Why not go alone with Becky?'
what would be your answer?
are you are a righteous person?
on a scale of 1-10, how righteous do you feel you are?.

so i finally read tony's life story and this one point really hit me where he was talking about his son's.
on page 7 he say's "because they made the truth their own, they make susan and me look good.
so those who children leave the "truth" look bad?.
" they make Susan and me look good. "
Who says you look good?

comments have been made previously about the watchtower using emotion to sway peoples thinking.
this is evident in the new breed of garbage song videos and the kiddy cartoons.
when relaying current news, the same tactics are used.
Comments have been made previously about the Watchtower using emotion to sway peoples thinking. This is evident in the new breed of garbage song videos and the kiddy cartoons. When relaying current news, the same tactics are used. A careful examination of the Watchtower's real stand on certain issues often reveals the fraudulent misuse of the wording it uses. Take for example this 'news item' now showing on JW.ORG.
SEPTEMBER 24, 2014 | ERITREA
Twenty Years of Imprisonment in Eritrea—Will It Ever End?
Twenty years ago, Eritrean authorities arrested three young men and detained them in harsh conditions in the Sawa prison camp, where they remain until this day. They have never been charged with a crime, nor have they been given the opportunity to defend themselves in a court of law. Why have they been unjustly imprisoned?
Paulos Eyassu, Negede Teklemariam, and Isaac Mogos are Jehovah’s Witnesses and conscientiously object to performing military service because of their strongly held religious beliefs. Had they been formally charged with the “crime” of refusing military service, they would have been sentenced to a fixed prison term. Paulos, Negede, and Isaac, now aged 41, 40, and 38 respectively, have spent their youth in confinement. They have been denied the opportunity to marry and have children, give support to their aging parents, or live their lives as they choose…".
They ask,' Will it ever end'?
We would do well to ask, about their manipulating words, ' will it ever stop'?
this is a must watch video.
it brought tears of laughter!.

the watchtower 'masturbation' video has caused quit a fuss and imo rightly so.
let me relate an experience that took place almost 40 years ago, in the 1970's.. i was translating for several families who attended our hall from outside the territory.
the reason they came to our congregation is that i was the only one in the area willing to exert myself to learn the american sign language.
