  you heretics, you think you speak the truth, yet you lie and take advantage of those in need!

  i know your ways, aiming for people that can't even read.

  you crazed hypocrites!

  We are not apostates as we stand for truth. Or at least the search for truth. The WTBS has never had the truth.

  Why not follow what your Lord and Master said " sell all of your belongings and give to the poor"? Sell all WT property and distribute to those in need. Then if you are one of Christ's Brothers walk amoung men and preach a message of truth rather than cloister yourselves in your tower.

  Sincerly,

  I agree with OntheWayOut -

  They are trying to go mainstream. Even the Mormans went mainstream and are now the fastest growing religion (at least in US). They will focus on Christ and his teachings.

  A coup against the Watchtower?

  by Dead Man Joaquin in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i believe that if enough "anointed" get fed up with the hypocrisy of the leadership, a coup may be likely if not inevitable.. .

  what i've been wondering is: how would such a scenario play out in real life?

  i'm sure we can agree that all the organizational power ultimately rests in the hands of the eleven little men in brooklyn known collectively as the governing body.

  A couple of annointed ones in our area have pointedly questioned the trumpet blast crap in the Revelation Book and have been ignored. As another poster notes, the annointed who are not part of the inner circle have no voice

  Any coup against the Watchtower will come from financial pressure such as from lawsuits or a continued downturn in contributions. JW vote with their wallets. It is the only voice they have.

  regarding the wts's decision to create a members only wt edition.

  are they expecting wonderful revelations.

  of new light or are they just quietly awaiting holding back their speculations?

  In our circle of JWs, most feel this is a time of testing and that "mother" may be apostate and that Jehovah is going to make matters right in his own time. I think this is a transitional thought for now. It is just a matter of time before most, at least those in the modern world, will realize it was never the "truth" from the beginning so it couldn't be apostate.

  It is really surprising to me how many in high positions doubt the "truth". Of course these only do so in safe circumstances. I think we are going to see a lot more MTS trained COs who are too young and too enamored with the authority of being a CO that will force feed what the service department wants. These guys may eventually find out they were misleading many, but probably years down the road.

  A former assembly Hall overseer

  by parlay in

  had the nerve to counsel teddy j of the gb about the unkind way things were communicated.

  to the assembly hall staff, citing the counsel the service department wasn't following it's own advice .

  they give to elders about treating the friends with kindness and respect.

  The Service Department is very vindictive. Very forgiving to themselves and their mistakes, very harsh on others. Many Brothers get "blacklisted" from convention parts, appointments and other "privileges". I have no doubt that Ted is behind the removal as an Assembly Hall Overseer, but I really doubt that he has anything to do with the disfellowshipping or length of time for reinstatement. Those two matters are typically handled localy...... but you never know

  where were you in the pecking order??

  jws pride themselves as being different from "worldly" organizations and other religions.

  they claim to have no clergy/laity groups.
