Elders are really low level appointed managers selectively designated by the Watchtower Publishing Corporation.

More "Elders" Doubt They Are Appointed By The "Holy Spirit"!
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inthe study edition of the watchtower says the elders are appointed by jehovah's holy spirit.
it's confounding the society does not realize that more and more elders, do not accept this claim.
i have racked my brain, wondering how many brothers and sisters actually believe this, fall hook and sinker.

Every day that goes by in this rotten old system is just one day closer to Jehovahs new world.
by life is to short ini grew up hearing this all the time.
it made me wish my life away, not look at the small joys every day of life brings to all of us.
instead i looked at all the bad there was in the world, my life, etc and blamed it all on satan.

Some of the falsely devised information or propaganda if you will that this publishing organization uses
to instill into people's minds how bad this wicked old system is and if you stick to their organization,
you'll survive Armageddon and live in a Paradise for a thousand years.
This is without question a fear mongering cult that is stringently endeavored to attract attention to
its published works and to mentally manipulate people to place them under their control.
Religion as it is known can be obviously full of deceiving and coercive bullshit to cultivate power
and money for certain men.
Your almost guaranteed that religious charlatans will up this up a bit more that the other religious
organizations out there as a posturing vehicle to attract attention to their products.

Outlaw makes a good point though, you think there's alot of pretentious smiling going on normally at
Kingdom Halls, this gets cranked up even more during a CO visit.
For any of those that still attend didn't they (WTS.) abolish the COs a year or so ago ?

There's usually a lot of pretentious brown nosing during the CO visit.
He's lauded as someone with even more spiritual power than the elders so his presence makes for even more nervousness.
Of course the previous announcing hype helps this along.
The elders are also put under pressure because they get evaluated on their performance upon the performance
of the whole congregation. They do look at the numbers for hours put in and bible studies in operation as well magazines placed and so forth.
My congregation PO at the time was seemly well off so he always drove a brand new Cadillac or Mercedes and it was known that the CO
would stay at his house and it was also known by close insiders that he and his wife were taken to the best restaurants in the city by the PO.
Lets not forget that there are elders who would like to climb up this lofty position
in the WT organization for themselves, thats another reason for the brown nosing.

St. John speaks of God as being love, not as an entity that has lots of love or that shows love, but love itself.
Yes thats why he protected Adam and Eve from Satan the Devil and why he kills so many humans ..Ie. the flood of Noah, Armageddon .
I think I'm going to show my love for fellow man by killing at least one human, I'm sure god will approve.

A simple and honest answer to this question ....
It was all a story expressed by some ancient people who were endeavored to create a sense of valuable reverence to the god they worshiped.
In other words stories made out of bullshit and ignorance.
Just about all the ancients told stories of their many gods, so this is not exactly surprising.
There are billions of people on earth right now that are hating one anther and believing other people's bullshit from the past .
What a remarkable accomplished for humanity is it not ?
This guy in the video is a charlatan selling books and reaping money, that being the case does anyone really expect him to be totally honest ?

Yes there are marvelous things in nature, that still doesn't make for a argument of a single creator.
Why have you not shown any of the crude disgusting things of nature.
If there were evidence of a single creator that would be marvelous as well.
It's always good to present your information in a honest and balanced way.
