  Perfect description of the Governing Body and their attitude toward the rank and file

  by sparky1 in

  "as we have seen in the genesis account of how adam and eve are eternally punished for defying jehovah's orders to stay away from the tree of knowledge, any rebellion against the authority of the ruling male priesthood-and by jehovah's direct command, men in general-was made a heinous sin.

  both authoritarianism and male dominance were here solidly justified by the same dictum that modern totalitarians and would be totatlitarians, be they of the theistic right or the athiestic left, still preach to their followers: don't think, accept what is, accept what authority says is true.

  above all, do not use your own intelligence, your own powers of mind, to question us or to seek independent knowledge.

  a friend of mine is trying the 'slow fade' like i did.

  he is a third generation witness and comes from a prominent family in his circuit.

  his uncle stepped down as an elder because he had doubts and could not serve anymore (although for now he remains a witness in good standing).

  "for you must not prostrate yourself to another god, because jehovah, whose name is jealous, he is a jealous god," exodus 34:14 nwt 1984 edition.

  "you must not bow down to another god, for jehovah is known for requiring exclusive devotion.

  yes, he is a god who requires exclusive devotion.
