Considering the fact That THERE WAS NO GOVERNING BODY TILL THE 70's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
How can this board member be retroactively made a GB?!?
My gawd talk about ignoring history the GB concept isn't even 40 yrs old.
as part of the wt's recent push to get the r&f "to study and recount the history of the earthly part of jehovahs organization" there is a curious article in the from our archives featurette of the august 15th, 2012 watchtower.
it offers a highly sanitized version of early jw history.
but what is particularly strange is this revisionist history re-categorizing of an early bible student/jw, one hugo riemer.

i am at home now, my family knows that i am out and it's somewhat ok.. during the time i spent here, i had the interesting pleasure of talking to an elder who i've known since childhood.
just for the background, he always regretted not going to university and there where also issues with military service.
but this discussion was kind of, well, interesting.
Then he said something that made me speechles: in any case, if there is a case of abuse/rape there is always some joint guilt at the victim or the parent (they just haven't protected thair children well enough).
WOW?!?
was jesus black?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usshb28andq .
He was an imaginary character he can be whatever color you want him to be...Look at Nick fury avengers.
to all body of elders of the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses:.
1) the following announcement has to be read by the coordinator of the body of elders at the week 42 service meeting:.
"samuel herd, geoffrey jackson, m. stephen lett, gerrit losch, anthony morris iii, guy h. pierce, david h. splane and mark sanderson are no longer one of jehovah's witnesses.
IMO once the new HQ on the lake is up and running I think you will hardly see the WT 'leadership'.

or do you think the sheeple will just follow the gb's words without question?.
Nope not at all!
JW's haven't paid attention to doctrinal changes since the 80's...SMDH!
this is the summary of the rumored new light from the 2012 annual meeting, as posted by cedars.. the faithful and discreet slave was not appointed at pentecost 33ce, meaning that there has not been a continuous line of members of the slave class on the earth down through the ages.
the slave class was only appointed for the first time by christ in 1919.the faithful and discreet slave is a small group of anointed brothers during jesus presence serving at watchtower headquarters who are directly involved in the preparing and dispensing of spiritual food.
the individual members of the governing body are not the faithful and discreet slave.
Dang reading thess responses is sad!
Why? it shows that only freddy franz could polish this...um log nugget of religous belief, into something slightly less offensive.
the following is pure, 100% speculation, but i think it's fun to do anyway..... .
as has been posted on numerous threads, the "biggie" coming out of the annual meeting this past weekend is that now the "faithful and discreet slave" is considered to be the jw governing body only - not "all anointed nes on earth".. and has been posted, it seems that the most recent direct statement of the "old light" - that the fds is composed of "all anointed" - was made in 2009.. so that makes me think - what happened between 2009 & 2012 to elicit such a change?.
both jack barr & ted jaracz - the last of the "old guard" - died in 2010.. the gb went from 9 members down to 7.. assuming that the "2/3 majority" rule as written about by ray franz was still in effect, this scenario seems plausible:.
Looking at outlaw's pic I had to wonder...Who is the top GB?
I was at bethel when loesch got appointed and Heard was my DO at one time. Loesch has some beliefs and Ideals MOST dubs cant get with and herd I'm sorry has token written all over him. Morris came off as an asshat in that sparlock vid which of these morons is 'taking the lead?!?'

the greatest, best, most inspiring stuff you can find in one spot on the internet:.
this is positive, optimistic, fascinating stuff about visionary science and technology.
they offer short presentations, often just 14 -20 minutes long.. vastly superior to anything you will hear in the mid week meetings/public talks/watchtower study/all assembly parts.. you can also pick it up on an internet streaming gadget into your tv as a separate channel.. wonderful stuff.. metatron.
