  The Governing Body - their own worst enemy!

  by cedars in

  i've been giving some thought recently to what's going on in the minds of the individual governing body members, and what makes them tick.

  the process of listening to their talks for my "getting to know you" youtube video series, though draining, has been very enlightening.

  i now feel i know some of their individual personalities a little better than i did previously.. then there has been the tumultuous events of 2012. it's been interesting to note the way the governing body has responded to some of these issues, and how in most cases their responses have been woefully inadequate or even counter-productive as regards their long-term interests.. for example:.

  Cedars said,

  ''I'm not suggesting for a moment that the Governing Body members should be likened to Hitler, nor am I remotely insinuating that they should be assassinated!!''.

  Of course not, because '''We are not living today among nations where such Governing Body members could be exterminated as was possible and was ordered in the nation of Israel. Being limited by the laws of the worldly nation in which we live we can take action against them only to a certain extent, that is, consistent with the law. The law of the land forbid us to kill them''.

  big news - i met with the elders last night.

  they were not arrogant and they were not mean spirited, but of course we all know they also would not budge from the jw brainwashed beliefs they are sworn to uphold.

  i let my light shine, and within two minutes of sitting down with them was no longer nervous.. .

  Found it.

  You have to click on ''Visit our Offices'' under ''Contact Us'' at bottom right.

  I don't want to visit their offices. I want to find where the conventions are held.

  does the watchtower still believe this?

  questions from readers ?

  some animals have characteristics that seem especially suited to killing, such as lions and poisonous snakes.

  how can this be, if they were all vegetarians at one time?l.

  Lions only became carnivorous in the year 2370 BC just after Noah let them off the Ark with strict instructions NOT to eat the antelope until it had propagated itself.

  What ''god'' is so powerful to 'name' all the stars, billions of billions of them, yet can't seem bothered to put an immediate stop to human suffering?

  A god that I want to worship, yippee.
