Does anyone know somebody in WT writing department?
by cyborgVision ini wonder what the profiles of these people are.
the fact is that every sentence they write is taken by over 6 000 000 people almost as a word of god.
(in fact most of us here, i would imagine, at one time or another felt the same).

Of course, until 1968 the WTS depicted Jesus without a beard. I bet it griped their ass to have to put a beard on Jesus during the hippie era.
LOL Blondie, I didn?t know that. Thanx for the insight, you rock.

Hence I think it is good to really know who those people are. How well educated they are, and does any of them have any postgraduate degree (preferably PhD)? reason why is because such a program would put them through a rigorous research schooling.Their line of reasoning, illustrations, analogies, arguments and supporting evidence have, apparently, infiltrated very soles of great number of people, so I believe it is in place to know who the members of writing department are and how their personalities influenced our own..
It is well known fact that writers in general express their very soul through words they write, and more you read certain writer more you start thinking like him/her.
For me personally all the secrecy surrounding that department just doesn't stack up as any bible based stance for the simple fact that we know names of almost every single writer that wrote the bible. Still that doesn't detract most faithful to take it as a word of god. Why, is then this atmosphere of secrecy? Which in all honesty only adds a dose of mysticism. Several times I've hard arguments that would go something like this: "actually angels are coming to Brooklyn to instruct writers of Watchtower what to put in" Fact is, many elders never discourage such dangerous thinking.
In fact, I remember vividly at one of my last CA speaker made fun out of people who thought they could understand bible without WT. IT almost sounded like (at least to me) that WT is at the same level if not above the bible itself.On the other hand I do remember many articles that I liked at a time (whether they were well researched or not I did love them, perhaps these ones were written by people such as Barbara Anderson that later left - evil laugh).
But seriously, I think it is of vital importance to know the profile of people influencing so many lives.

are congregation revolving around mini-moguls or dynasties of elitist JW?
by cyborgVision inin your experience, did you ever see congregation being revolved around clan-like, all-influential families?.
i don't know about your experiences, but in my personal experience and basically wherever i went i've seen congregation being influenced by mini dynasties of elitist jw.
in fact their influence goes far beyond of what you'd normally consider "spirituality" and branches down to some absolutely bizarre issues such as what type of car you should drive, what brand of clothing is "christian", what sort of barbeque is appropriate, even what cereal you should not buy since it supports "babylon the great", etc.

go here http://www.aph.gov.au/hansard/joint/commttee/j2444.pdf and download this official government's document. In it you'll find great argumentation that kids need to be protected by state if parents being JW make decision that may endanger child's life.
By the way it is a great piece of document 'cause in it you'll see that WT came as one of official NGOs to plead their case in front of Australian senate. JW case starts on the page 124 with usual wt argumentation then senators engage 2 official WT representatives in drilling of their lives at page 126.
