It is understood, of course, that while the members of the Governing Body are electronically attached to the lie detector, the interrogator could ask them to elaborate on their replies and give more detail, where necessary.

If the Governing Body members had to take a 'lie detector test' what questions would you recommend they are asked?
by Esse quam videri ini think it is reasonable for every leader or head of any organization that has control of peoples thinking and actions should, by law, submit to a lie detector test.
the results would be accessible to any one who had an interest in the matter.this test would be required before appointment to any position and on a yearly basis.
questions could be submitted to a competent and unbiased committee for approval.

Romans 8:20-23
20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that[a] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.
22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.Hebrews 9:26-27
26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Ephesians 1:10
10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. -

The results would be accessible to any one who had an interest in the matter.This test would be required before appointment to any position and on a yearly basis. Questions could be submitted to a competent and unbiased committee for approval. A required minimum number could be set, perhaps 100, with many more questions if the situation required it. Perhaps a situation involving control over a persons actions, speech, behavior, beliefs etc. would require many more questions. Everyone would want to be assured that these people put into powerful positions would be worthy, honest and properly qualified.
Therefore, what questions would you submit for the members of the Governing Body to answer while they are attached to a lie detector?

Bro Loesch's talk.
by New day inrecently i heard through video link to our kh a talk by bro loesch where he attacked university study (again) but this time he prefaced his remarks by saying, and i quote, "the faithful slave does not forbid you to go to university.
" so this was a bad start as his following remarks made it clear that this was just a way of seeming reasonable while basically saying that we shouldn't do it.
he went on to use an illustration i think he has used before about a man with ocd who decided to kill himself.

What I think about the "We just love this idea" of David Splane
by Gorbatchov inthe jw.org video about the annual meeting contains david splane saying "we just love this idea", when talking about the adjusted fds doctrine.
"we just love this idea"????
when it becomes one of the fundament teachings of the organisational part of a religion, the rank-and-file witnesses are expected to be convinced about these kind of doctrines.

TESTS OF FAITH
During World War II when patriotism ran high, Miss Scott, a particularly intolerant schoolteacher, expelled my two sisters and one of my brothers from school. Why? Because they declined to salute the flag. Then she contacted my schoolteacher and urged her to expel me. But my teacher said, “We live in a free country, and we have the right to refrain from patriotic ceremonies.” Despite much pressure from Miss Scott, my teacher said firmly, “This is my decision.
Miss Scott replied: “No, it is not your decision. I will report you if you don’t expel Melita.” My teacher explained to my parents that if she wanted to keep her job, she had no choice but to expel me, even though she believed that it was the wrong thing to do."Interesting. She got expelled from school because she didn't do what the school teachers wanted her to do. I wonder what other organization expels you if you don't do what they want.
