Suggestions for Governing Body 2.0
by FusionTheism ini realize many people on here are very angry at the watchtower society and/or governing body for various reasons, many of which are likely justified, at least to some extent.
i also can totally understand the cynicism and pessimism i see from certain ones regarding the leaders of the society.. i think one thing that's often forgotten or overlooked, however, is the fact that members of the governing body who've been "in the truth" for 30, 40, 50, 60 years, probably truly believe in this organization.
in my opinion, it's more likely that they believe what they teach instead of being liars who are intentionally deceiving everyone.

I looked over the March 15 WT to get ready for next weeks meeting. I put it down is disgust, it's a GB ' We are the Anointed '( insert Queen song here ) stroke propaganda. I just want to go to the hall to learn about Jehovah, his Son and get bible based counsel and education. They make it all about themselves, bunch of glory seeking narcissists. Having come in on my own 15 years ago and being inactive last couple due to health and work reasons I now see a major shift where as we used to get into the odd article on the GB, now it's all about them. I'd be embarrassed to bring a study or 'worldly' friend along to a meeting. They've lost it and are attempting to regain the upper hand it seems. They really are convinced that they are ' IT ' -

1 with two children and 1 with one child. All in their 30s.
ROFLMAO........
Trying to turn you on to their "damaged" goods eh......
What happens if you marry a woman with dependents is that they become your responsibility.
Now I can understand if you meet 'The One' it's all fun and games. However the likelihood of that happening is remote, and if ever there's a divorce later on the man will be stuck paying for the whole bunch. Such is the law of the land, no thanks !

Walt Brown is not in a cult so to speak. He's a retired Phd and this is THEORY I think Floodguy even met with him last year. Anyhow it's a fun read and his book is packed with scientific knowledge other than just the flood. I'll buy the book for myself this summer for vacation reading material.
Wait a second.... How could you, having joined this board a mere 12 days ago, possibly know that floodguy who joined only 8 days ago, meet this walter brown a year ago??? Something smells fishy.
We have known each other for over 15 years. I mentioned this site to him. I credit Floodguy for daring me to research the WT more fully, what I came up with was Ruherford, cases of booze and his concubines
Does that snswer your question ?

Happened upon the story of an ex Gilead school graduate that had a Twilight Zone moment when they were told by their instructor that Elijah and Elisha were prophesied in scripture as Russell and Rutherford ( true story ) The poor guy got out not long after. It's a shame they pull this stuff but the other students ate it up like pudding as he put it. I've gotten to the point where I think much of the org is all about justifying their own job positions with redundant 'spiritual' make work. ( job security for themselves )
