  They could 'retire' them and make them 'Governing Body Emeritus'. That would make room for the 'second string' players to come off the 'bench'.

  Tameria2001, here is a photo of the Governing Body (tm) from the mid 1970's when it was composed of 17 members; as Blondie rightly pointed out. All these men have long since died.

  WT uses new Technology ... the Governing Body in 3D

  by RubaDub in

  i am not sure how the wt does it or what technology is used.

  but when i look at the jw.org website and look at pictures in the recent publications from the lord's evening meal / last supper, it seems very strange.. i turn on my tv, put on 3-d glasses and the apostles now appear to be current and former members of the governing body.. i turn the tv off, restart it, and it appears to be the same members but now they have changed seats.. very interesting.. rub a dub.

  Do JWs believe they will be the only people saved at the "end"?

  by LaurenM in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the answer posted on jw.org: "no.

  many millions who lived in centuries past and who weren’t jehovah’s witnesses will have an opportunity for salvation.

  additionally, many now living may yet begin to serve god, and they too will gain salvation.

  Turn out the lights the party is over

  i think the reason the borg really went on a cost cutting move and is selling off all thier buildings has become obvious.

  the cult is telling people that there fast growing but then the numbers seem to indicate about a 1% growth rate.

  this would give them roughly 800,000 new baptized ones in ten years give or take do to the small increase per year from previous gains.

  Signs of Toxic Personalities

  by Simon in

  came across this and found it rather interesting:.

  http://facthacker.com/18-signs-of-toxic-people/.

  it's always good to be able to identify when we may be exhibiting some of these behaviors or, hopefully more likely, to spot the behaviors in others and help avoid the impact they can have.
