just asking about this "new light" of the 7 member of the governing body (the gb-7) being the fds.
what is the point?.
what biblical "argument" have they given about that ?
The Governing Body proclaimed themselves the Slave because they believe themselves to be anointed, or claim to be anointed, and put in charge of Jehovah's organization. The reality of course is that they are just ordinary men charged by other ordinary men to lead a religion.
Small, sad, men who do not know their left from their right. Men who have no spiritual clothes and must rely on their Helpers to blindly lead and point the way.
By the way, the monthly JW Broadcast is late.
say you could go back in time to when you were 15 years old.
no watchtower in your life.
but the experience you have now you could keep.
greetings, folks: so, it's been 40 years since 1975. and, if you were actively involved with the witnesses back then, the mindset of many was, that by early autumn of 1975, it would mark the anniversary of 6000 years of human existence.
and, the hope was then, that it would mark the start of the 1000-year of christ, from the heavenly realm.
but, looking back now, 40 years ago, in june of 1975, only 3 more months remained until early autumn.

An open mind seeks to examine all views and possibilities. An open mind is not restricted to one view or possibility. An open mind is not settled with clinging to what they believed yesterday or today. An open mind is free from fear. An open mind does not follow anyone.
An open mind is never content to simply "know" but rather to continually seek to know even when the knowing is uncomfortable or unacceptable. Even when the knowing destroys one's firm beliefs or disbelief. An open mind is not fixed.

So why did God allow barbaric laws to be part of his "inspired" book?
They were not "barbaric" at the time. Do you actually think that laws allowing women's rights, rights of slaves, of homosexuals, of freedom of religion, of all the freedoms we have today, would have been accepted by the Jewish men of Moses' day? Would the men of the time bent their backs to such laws? No! They were not ready.

Matthew 19:4-6, "And he answered and said, Have ye not read, that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh? So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."
Matthew 19:7-9, They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses for your hardness of heart suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it hath not been so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her when she is put away committeth adultery." (ASV)
Not everything in the "Law of Moses" was directly from God.
