Russell was saying he was part of an elite 144,000 when Fatty Arbuckle was a big star. You're not going to prove you're that special with "don't lie" "don't murder," so out came the pyramid measurements. It's been the same racket ever since..

The Jehovah's Witnesses' Governing Body are Elitists (Here is why)
by Terry inan "elite" group is one which has special privileges not granted to others.. and obscurantist elite, is a group which hides information by virtue of its own claim to be special and a sole source in dispensing necessary truths.. to wit:.
the gb's elitism shines through in articles such as this:.
“thus the bible is an organizational book and belongs to the christian congregation as an organization, not to individuals , regardless of how sincerely they may believe that they can interpret the bible .

I think the property sales just indicate streamlining business and the GB fur-
ther isolating themselves for security. The HQ (25-30 Columbia Heights, DUMBO)
and two other properties are expected to sell for over 1 billion dollars. The
Watchtower is expected to move from the Brooklyn headquarters to upstate Warwick
(Orange county in southern NY) in 2016-2017. Wallkill (printing
operation) was expanded.

^ The latter was my reaction. I didn't know about the former.
If this v is Toole what's the A.R.C. issue?
The Watchtower Society conceded to the Australian Parliament that blood transfusions are at times essential to save lives. In the Hansard Committee, Vin Toole, representing the legal department of the Australian Branch of the Watchtower Society, makes such an admission.
"What we have said is that there may well be circumstances arise where it does become an absolute life and death issue." aph.gov.au as at 27th May 2006

Vin Toole and G. Jackson were caught lying under oath at the A.R.C.
What's the A.R.C. and what are the related issues? (Who's Vin Toole?)

Thanks! Should I interpret the first guy as savvy (to be allowed in the GB) but condescending?

Is there a link to a video of the GB? I'd like to see that. It sounds weird. -

Ha!
Here's another one I ran into today. Did you have this one yet?
Rama Singh, Professor of Biology at McMaster University, Ontario, Canada,
was quoted out of context in the Jan., 2015 "Awake!" to leave the false impres-
sion that he supported the JWs leaders' stance to doubt evolution."Rama Singh, professor of biology at Canada'a McMaster University, says:
'The opposition to evolution goes beyond religious fundamentalism and in-
cludes a great many people from educated sections of the population.'"So he wrote to the editor of "Awake!" asking for an apology.
"So I am asking you first to remove the misquotation from your article
immediately and second print an unconditional apology for what I consider
is a deliberate damaging action on your part to my reputation."Subsequent Internet and .pdf versions removed the quote but the professor
didn't recieve an apology.

- Maybe it's because I'm not up on things but I thought the GB made the rules
and the followers didn't have any say in it before. Whats the big difference
now?- The Internet thing doesn't surprise me. It just had to take them a bit to
think of a way to make money from it like literature.- Are they allowing flags without calling it idolatry now?
- Whats the money grubbing? I thought the followers were kept too low on
money to grub for it. -
