A MODERN FICTION: the lie which became a GOVERNING BODY

by TerryWalstrom in

safe to say, if you walked up to any of the 8 million jehovah's witnesses on earth today and told them the.

governing body was a fiction, not only would they refuse to believe you--they'd consider you their immediate enemy!.

what if i told you jw's embrace a mental construct which is at odds with history?.

Terry, great work. I put a link to it in my notes.

However, there is one important thing you missed, partly because you concentrated on the work of Christendom's scholars.

Now, when I say this, I don't want you to go off on a loop. Stay calm. Maintain the same even keel I saw in your work. And for God's sake remember, I am not pro-wt in any manner of speaking. I am just a bible student. And I've been on this board 15 years.

Truth is truth, and it don't need a crutch. It stand up pretty good on it's own.

There was indeed a governing body in the first century.

Don't flip out. You haven't done nearly enough reading to be justified in standing on the ledge yelling 'I'm gonna jump'...

I didn't say that this group was ordained by God or desirable by Christ. Nor did I say that Acts speaks of a 'governing body' in those words.

The term, in fact, is a modern one and it comes to us honestly, via US Corporate Law. It was the "Governing Body of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society Inc. of Pennsylvania NY", specifically the Pres, vice pres and board of directors, same as any other corporation registered in the good 'ol US of A. In the year 2000, the legal governing body stepped aside and a new governing body of the WTBTS Inc was appointed. And the spiritualized GB was invented, made up of the FORMER Pres, Vice Pres and Board of Directors.

See, I'm an 'apostate' just like you. LOL

In the first century, there was a group or body of 'governors' who asserted their power.

1) It did exist. This can be established conclusively.

2) They had activities. Also established from the scriptures.

3) The Apostle Paul expressed his view on them and their work. Established.

4) Paul sought to work with them. Established.

5) The warning we get from the account of them and their activities as well as Paul's words should dissuade any Christian group from establishing another group or body in their likeness.

The point is, what were they all about, what were their activities. How did the Apostle Paul feel about them?

That they existed and did stuff is undeniable.

There's a lot to discuss to 'get there'. I can't just paste it all. Just like when you sat down to post you spent the day, I would have to do the same. My time is tight. But I would like to discuss it.

If you are interested, then the place to start is with the 'nuclear question' ( I have a few of these I ask JW's to get them going)

The men who went down to Antioch who were trying to impose circumcision on the Gentiles... who were they?

The picture of Tony Freakalony with the Watchtower's own caption beneath him will become the defining picture, the one that "says it all"

The Watchtower is 'master of it's own demise.' It's just a matter of time. And that time grows short.

Watchtower will not survive the next economic shock, a shock only hinted at by the events of 2007-2008.

Next up... when the buildings are sold in NY, the money will not be spoken of. Asking about it will be likened to apostasy.

I love this video. It's fantastic!

It's called "LEFT BEHIND" ... right ...?

Where the those to whom Jesus said "Get away from me" didn't make it and were left to fend for themselves.

Again, fantastic video. I was impressed with the devotion to the slave that these actors demonstrated, having a stick inserted up their asses so they could move like that.

Bravo bro's and sis's. Keep those sticks handy, we are all looking forward to the sequel where that mob of zombies outside busts the door down and finishes the job!

I tried to post a screenshot but failed. But anyone who wants to hear it and see it for themselves need only go to tv.jw.org and tune in to the May broadcast. Fast forward to the 7:30 mark. Pay attention particularly at 7:44

if you can get the close caption on, pause the video.

When you see Tony with the words underneath...

"well beyond the intent of the scriptures"

Let it sink in...

And what is GBPresent teaching that GBFuture will declare "well beyond the intent of the scriptures"..?

Watchtower's upcoming teaching

by biblexaminer in

newest watchtower revelations from heaven indicate the importance of color in teaching the truth about god.. the governing body has prayed fervently over this new teaching and jehovah's witnesses the world around receive it gratefully as "food at the proper time".. in view of the importance placed on color, as found in god's holy word the bible, the governing body has deemed it necessary for a new understanding on important spiritual matters.

(see link).... http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200001009?q=color&p=par.

we can see from the aforementioned information that color in the scriptures should not be neglected, as it plays a vital role in understanding god's plan for mankind.

In unrelated news, the Governing Body has determined that it is necessary to litigate for Brother Prince's fortunes, as Brother Prince's lyrics make definite reference to Christ and his understanding of the Kingdom which he could only have gotten at the Kingdom Hall. Thus it is clear to all that Brother Prince intended his fortunes be placed in the caring hands of God's messengers.
