When I was at bethel, the GB member Gerrit Losch was known for hanging out on one of the residential bldg roof in his speedos getting a suntan. He's from Austria. Not many ppl were interested in looking at his governing "body".

Soon Jehovah will move the world?s political elements (in the UN) to unite in efforts to expose and devastate the spiritual harlot Babylon the Great. (Revelation 17:15-17; 18:21).
Later in the article it states that an all out attack will be upon JW AFTER the destruction of false religion.
If the political elements decide to get rid of religion altogether, why would they leave the JW out?
Yeah right, the govts view the JW as a 'special' religion.
This is spiritual narcissism at its very best.

What is your "fade out" plan? I know there's a great thread somewhere called "the art of fading" but what is YOUR plan?

Did the "Watchtower" Originate In the Occult?
by metatron inat one time, no one had any particular set of mental associations with the word "watchtower" - no one, except occultists!.
at the turn of the century, there was a highly influencial occult group called the "golden dawn".
they liked egyptian.

The more I look into this kinda stuff, the more I have the tendency to think that this religion and all other religions as well were put in place to deliberately mislead the masses and function as a diversion to prevent ppl from finding out what's really going on in the world.

The GB: evil manipulators or misguided fools
by New Worldly Translation ini've been pondering this question for a while now and i haven't come to a conclusion yet.
on the one hand there is evidence of psychological manipulation in their publications.
they discourage questioning of their authority or even their fallability and try to whitewash past mistakes.

The most influential GBs (or possibly GB) are (is) the evil manipulator(s). The rest are misguided fools.

The most eye opening thing I've ever seen on this topic is the "Disclosure Project". You can download it here: http://www.netro.ca/disclosure/npccmenu.htm
It's not your typical eyewitness accounts of ppl in a cornfield with tractors in the background saying that they saw UFOs.

CoC and Search of Christian Freedom came yesterday in the mail
by ithinkisee intime to swallow the red pill.. right now both books remain unopened - sealed in the amazon.com box buried in a backpack in the trunk of my car.
i feel like i'm smuggling drugs or something.. i'll be starting coc tomorrow ... .
this is more of a vanity post than anything.

truth_about_the_truth
ithinkisee,
I felt the same way too when I got mine from Amazon but in time you'll realize that they are just books. No big deal. Very important books. You'll have a hard time putting it down. I personally liked Coc better even though the last chapeter of ISCF is tremendous. Congrats for taking this step.
You may change your screen name from ithinkisee to iseeitnow after you are done.
Enjoy!

True churches - No
Truth - yes. Not found in any organized group or denomination of any kind. No one group or individual has a monopoly on it. It's there to be discovered by all.

Yes its the deeeminzzz.
If you dont believe in them, it's up to you.
I assume with these types of cynical resposes that a lot of you no longer believe in higher entities of existence whether good or bad. That's fine too.
Unfortunately it seems that your negative experiences with the WT and religion in general has seemed to trivialize these types of important issues and turned them into a joke. I think of it as a defense mechanism because of the emotional, psychological wounds because of what you have gone through. It's completely understandable, I'm there too.
Just remember this thread when you start seeing a different world around you. You aint seen nuthin yet. If you think nothing is changing and things will stay the same, I have news for you...it's already happening. You just dont see it on CNN that's all.
I just want to throw that out there. Do what you want with it.
