Why did the Governing Body come behind the curtain?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inin the movie the wizard of oz, while the whole yellow brick road gang was being addressed by the great and powerful wizard of oz, the dog toto ran off to the side, pulled back on a curtain, and showed that a normal-looking humbug of a person was operating cranks and levers.
for a short while, the normal-looking man kept yanking levers and cranking cranks, and said into the microphone (which made the great and powerful wizard speak the same words) "pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!
i am the great and powerful wiz .

sir82in 10 hoursin 10 hoursin 10 hoursWhy did the governing body come out from behind the curtain?
Ego. Vanity. Lust for adulation. Take your pick.They all seem scared of the camera and look stiff. They are not great speakers. Samuel Herd looks like he's the bearer of bad news and can't wait to get off the scene.
I think they like all the attention/adulation but it seems they were forced to make these broadcasts from either the Watchtower lawyers or hired a media company to take them into the 21st century. I think they will retreat from these broadcasts and call it a failure.

Why did the Governing Body come around the curtain and expose themselves? You see them all over JW Broadcasting, signing Bibles, taking pictures with members, and their pictures are plastered all over the place. They have become Bible movie stars.
I feel that none of them are great teachers or speakers. They all sound monotone when speaking. I would fall asleep at one of their talks. I can't believe that these 7 men are the spokesman/mouthpiece for Jesus and Jehovah. The have no sayings of everlasting life. It's like finding out how sausage is made. It may taste good but once you see how sausage is made you will loose your appetite. I liked it better when I was in and never saw behind the curtains.

But why do Jehovah’s Witnesses continue as a religion that people will join?
Coca-Cola sells 2.5 billion cans of soda each year......people still buy this surgery drink that is bad for the human body.
Britney Spears has sold over 100 million records in her career....to me she has no talent but to some teenagers she gives the Beatles a run for their money.
In 2017, there were 120,053 Kingdom Halls in the world with 8,457,107 members who call themselves Jehovah's Witnesses.Started in the 1870's with very few members it has grown to over 8 million.
Why does the religion continue?
It's the first and only religion they have only looked into
Most members born into the religion...most children will follow their parents religion
Clean cut members who wear suits and dresses....how they look make them appear more honest
Supposedly Bible- based....they carry the Bible and the religion is reading material based
It draws people who love prophecies and makes them different than other religion
Loss of health, job, death in family....life in a paradise earth sounds good when you are down and out
Faithful and Discreet Slave...they are the mouthpiece for God. If I follow their direction I will live in the new paradise earth
Laziness...people like to follow someone/something because they are too lazy to do their own research

My two Jehovah's Witness cousins and I attended a wake/funeral for a very good friend of ours. We paid our final respects to the family and sat about 4 rows from the front.
While we were sitting, a former elder from our congregation ( who was disfellowshipped along with his wife and 2 children ) walked over and paid his respects to the family of the deceased.
He notices my two cousins and I sitting near the front and proceeds to walk over and say hello to us. ( It's been years since we all talked to each other). As soon as my two Jehovah's Witness cousins saw the ex-elder approach us, they got up and left their seats. They sat in the back row until they saw that I was done talking to him and walked back up front as soon as he left the funeral home.
All they had to do was say hello to him and have small talk. I always thought that disfellowshipped people were o.k. to talk to at a wake/funeral !

Well...It's 2018 and still no ''Armageddon''
by RULES & REGULATIONS in1972 : we started studying with the jehovah's witnesses when my uncle became an elder and put fear into our family that armageddon was close.
1974 : my mom, my brother and i were all baptized after all the convention talks and watchtower magazine articles that 1975 would likely end this system of things.
1999 : being told that the year 2000 was going to mark the 6 thousand years of mans existence and that the 1000 year kingdom in the new paradisewould come in the year 2000.
