Is the Governing Body Guilty or not guilty of 1975 speculations going too far?

by Terry in

the most disengenuous aspect of "official" pronouncements from the society can be identified.. it is in the positioning of the speaker/writer as a passive onlooker commenting on exterior happenings.. this bystander mode is clever by half.. why?

it spoon feeds information without taking any active personal responsibility.. sort of an "oh gee, wow--look at all this going on" stance, while taking a stand-offish tone, is printed in the official magazines and books approved for publication by the governing body as mouthpiece of jehovah.. think about that.

it is insidious incitement without responsibility.. the person (likely fred franz) who crafted these bulletins had gone through several previous incidents of failure and disappointment and was well aware of the effect of any speculations upon jehovah's witnesses in the past.. this makes what was printed all the more calculated and irresponsible in the extreme.. let us parse the language printed by the watchtower society with careful attention to what is said and left unsaid.. w68 8/15 p. 494 why are you looking forward to 1975?.

Oh stop blaming the poor governing body for everything!

No matter how many wt articles, books, flyers, CO and DO speeches you present or eyewitnesses. In his speech Freddy Franz clearly said "BUT WE ARE NOT SAYING" right after the lengthy detailing his calculation for 1975.

As a child the fear of demons was so horrific! My father and others loved to tell demon stories. He told us jehovah can always read your mind. Satan and his demons can only read your mind when your eyes are open. For many years I was afraid to be in the dark thinking I was surrounded by demons. I would yell "jehovah", but still be terrified!! I cant express how relieved I was, once I realised this is all nonsense and fear tactics!!!
Children are the biggest victims of the wt org!
It makes me angry to think about how unfair, damaging and evil this is.
