does anyone know how members of gb are chosen?

i mean to me it sounds extraordinary that there?s no one from minorities.

no offence to our dear american friends in this forum but i wonder if there is anyone on governing body who wasn?t born in us and is not white.

we were told so many times that we were slaves 2 not only god but anyone in a secular position of authority.

so i feel that this only encouraged a subordinate and non confortational attitude with our employers.

almost 2 the point that that even those of us who are self employed never get 2 develope the killer instinct that is needed 2 compete in the business world.

WOW, I?m stunned purplesofa, I was expecting anything but this.

I mean I can understand that even if some of them do have doubts they would keep low profile after a lifetime spent at WT, they now have simply nowhere to go so they've got to be in line with official doctrine. Still I didn?t expect some of them have doubts about their own understanding. This is something completely new to me. Mind you I haven?t read Ray?s book yet, was looking to get one awhile ago in the local Christian shop but they didn?t have it.

But this is something worth exploring further. Defenetely. Thank you purplesofe you?re a great friend. Hope you have a good rest this was an exhaustive report

the NWT

by trinity83 in

numerous greek and biblical scholars have declared that the nwt is a poor and biased translation.. the late dr. walter martin observed that of the anonymous seven-member translation committee at least five had no training in greek: "these books possess a veneer of scholarship unrivaled for its daring and boldness in a field that all informed scholars know jehovah's witnesses are almost totally unprepared to venture into.

as a matter of fact, the authors have been able to uncover partially a carefully guarded watchtower secret; the names of five of the member of the new world translation committee.

not one of these five people has any training in greek...(or hebrew).. dr. julius mantey a leading greek scholar in the world stated: "i have never read any new testament so badly translated as the kingdom interlinear translation of the greek scriptures.

lol Honesty, not forgetting of course we are talking about ancient Hebrew and ancient Greek, which many natives of these lands have difficulty in understanding.

just to add: if you want to learn Hebrew here is your good start http://www.ancient-hebrew.org/7_home.html

Also as you clime WT hierarchy do you see evenly distributed positions of responsibility across races or is it mainly uniform?
