  of the congregation i spent my life in i would say a good 75% had nervous breakdowns at some point.

  and often there was never really a obivous reason for it.

  When an elder, I was brought into a matter that involved a young married couple. We had known the young woman since she was very young. Very sweet and shy. She manifested what I later recognized as severe Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder (OCD). She had become almost completely disfunctional. Her young husband was at his wits end. She should have been receiving medical care. We encouraged praying to Jay Hoover when she found herself flipping the light switch on and off several hundred times before she could enter a room.

  I hate the WTS.

  You are a born romantic, Grace! Nothing wrong with that. Anyway, the poor woman fought her illness bravely for many years and it is unfortunate she couldn't extend her life beyond 61.

  PS - I'm sure Hillary stayed with Bill out of love.

  Gregor!! LOVE makes you turn a blind eye! That is what I think she did
  Just my opinion. I know I have loved that stupidly

  Well, that's a nice thought, Mouthy, but in this case the word LOVE could be changed to POLITICAL AMBITION and be more accurate.

  Thanks, Misery. Finally someone has noticed the elephant in the middle of the room. I know it is bad form to point out certain things about people who have just passed, but frankly, there are a few posters here who have gone over the top in making this woman out to be a saint. She knew about Johnny boys monkeyshines and quite cooly helped keep them under wraps, even appearing at campaign appearances with him. It is fair to say that she also exploited the sympathy factor of her illness in the quest to help him get elected with Kerry.

  Her death is sad, but I see know reason to avoid these facts.

  Does anyone know how "new light" comes to fruition?

  by mamalove in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am curious if anyone knows the process by which new light, or revisions in beliefs actually are agreed on for presentation to the followers?.

  does one member of the gb bring up something and they all talk about it and decide?

  or do they get a bunch of questions in the mail and decide to re-evaluate something based on the fan mail?

  My impression is that "new light" is generated by pragmatic decisions that involve:

  A. Legal liablilities that expose the WTS to severe financial judgements.

  B. Escaping from foolish prophecy doctrines that put them in a corner.

  These self serving revelations are obvious to XJWs but are a source of excitement and rejuvination to most rank and file. Having a brain dead cult following makes it easy to erase the shit you once wrote in stone but now need to change.
