Rooster, Rooster, Rooster...There is no scriptural evidence this is referring to a "class". And no scriptural evidence that "class" would be the governing body of the JWs.
You are right on the money. It does not imply class in the scriptures.

Do You Keep Your Old JW Books?
by Clam inwhat have you done with your wts book collection?
have you sold them, burnt them, given them away or kept them as a memento?
the only one i kept was aid to bible understanding, which i still find helpful, even though there are errors, eg 607bc lol .

My father was born in 1926 & was a member of the sect all of his life. He had one room of his house full of thousands of WTBTS publications. Dating back into the 1800. When he died about two years ago my brother and I rented a Dumpster and through almost all of his books into it. I took some of the watchtower bound volumes home and used them for firewood.

JUST HOW GULLIBLE ARE YOU? DO YOU LIKE IT THAT WAY?
by Terry infool me once; shame on you.... fool me twice; shame on me.. we've all heard that one before.
it implies that being fooled is everybody's susceptibility until more facts are presented which enable more critical thinking.. critical thinking is something you aren't born with.
it takes lots of practice.. and anything humans want to learn requires many tries.

The TRUTH for a JW is different from an ex JW.
A JW wants to believe what the Watchtower Society tell them no matter how contrary it might be to fact.
An ex JW wants to be told the facts no matter how contrary it might be to the Watchtower Society.
And they call us, the Apostates, the ones who are evil?
We are apostates to fantasy. We are apostates to mind-control. We are apostates to a manufactured world-view. We are apostates to counterfeit reality.
T.
WTBTS They are the ones that have deviated from following Jesus Christ as He instructed.

The Body of Elders
by Honesty inis this a scriptural arrangement that can be backed up in the bible or just another form of control over the rank and file jw's?
i can't see where the jw's have followed the apostolic example recorded in the book of acts.
acts 6:1-6 in those days, as the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint by the hellenistic jews against the hebraic jews that their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution.

The Switchtower Babble & Trick Society twists the scriptures to fit whatever their agenda is at that time! Whether the application is correct or not they don’t care as long as it fits what they!

8 Another problem that Jude addresses is the lack of respect for divinely constituted authority. For instance, in verse 8 he charges the same wicked men with "speaking abusively of glorious ones." Who were these "glorious ones"? They were imperfect men, but they had responsibilities conferred upon them by Jehovah’s holy spirit. For example, the congregations had elders, who were charged with shepherding the flock of God. (1 Peter 5:2) There were traveling overseers too, such as the apostle Paul. And the body of elders in Jerusalem acted as a governing body, making decisions affecting the Christian congregation as a whole. (Acts 15:6) Jude was deeply concerned that certain ones in the congregations were speaking abusively of, or blaspheming, such men.

To denounce such disrespectful talk, in verse 11, Jude cites three more examples as reminders: Cain, Balaam, and Korah. Cain ignored Jehovah’s loving counsel and willfully pursued his own course of murderous hatred. (Genesis 4:4-8) Balaam received repeated warnings that unquestionably came from a supernatural source—even his own she-ass spoke to him! But Balaam selfishly continued to plot against God’s people. (Numbers 22:28, 32-34; Deuteronomy 23:5) Korah had his own position of responsibility, but it was not enough. He fomented rebellion against the meekest man on the earth, Moses.—Numbers 12:3; 16:1-3, 32.
