Dissenters and apostates have been dreaming about this for decades. Ray Franz was about the closest we got to this. Since then it's about as likely a prospect as a coup amongst the cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church, or a coup amongst Kim Jong Un's elite.

Does The Governing Body Have Enemies At Bethel?
by Brokeback Watchtower ini would think that a lot of resentment is building up for these for these guys at bethel even though it may not be discussed openly for fear of being abused by the gb in some way.. any way looking at their personality and the extreme phoniness of rubber mouth/face lett, and am#3, and the chicken shit coward leosch who won't even show up in court when subpoena'd to defend his faith or policies, and i'm sure they have many more undesirable traits that repel people instead of attract and that has to work its toll on relationships they have at bethel.. and this shunning thing i'm sure must really erk some at god's house and while they may not be free to voice their discontent i feel it must be building because these guys are complete nincompoops when it come to reality and the only way they know how to give direction is with fear and guilt which i'm sure is rubbing a lot of people the wrong way.. and let not forget the issues that are raise when they stole all the congregations savings and the pledge drive for more cash, ban on higher education, lawsuit pay out and etc.... what is this doing to the relation ship they have with legal and accounting i see trouble brewing right thier in the spiritual pair of dice..

What seems so odd to me about all this, apart from the obvious immorality of the JW's stance, is that the new testament prohibition on blood at Acts 15:28,29 was only given to the "brothers" in those congregations, ie, baptized persons.
Surely, all the GB need to do to stop this absolutely awful cultish child sacrifice policy and it's associated damaging publicity is to announce "new light" that the blood prohibition applies to baptized congregation members ONLY, not to little children. To hark back to Genesis and say that the injunction against blood applies to all mankind (and therefore includes little children) just seems so unnecessary, as if they are looking for any possible excuse to justify the death of babies and children for their fanatical, extremist interpretation:
23 They wrote this and sent it through them: “The apostles and the elders, your brothers, to those brothers in Antioch,+ Syria, and Ci·li′cia who are from the nations: Greetings! 24 Since we have heard that some went out from among us and caused you trouble with what they have said,+ trying to subvert you,* although we did not give them any instructions, 25 we have come to a unanimous decision to choose men to send to you together with our beloved Bar′na·bas and Paul, 26 men who have given up their lives* for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.+ 27 We are therefore sending Judas and Silas, so that they also may report the same things by word of mouth.+ 28 For the holy spirit+ and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to you except these necessary things: 29 to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols,+ from blood,+ from what is strangled,*+ and from sexual immorality.*+ If you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper. Good health to you!”*

Lett seems so contrived, so exaggerated in his mannerisms. It comes across as condescending and insincere, as if he is speaking to a bunch of young children.
But 90% of brainwashed JW's have about as much ability to tell shit from shovel as a 5 year old, so if the shoe fits...

Someone has to report this to the media. The Guardian would surely be curious. I can see the headline:
"Jehovah's Witness leaders guilt-trip children to donate their pocket money to them"

Everything seems to be changing... why not birthdays?
by StarTrekAngel inif we look at all doctrines, we see an overall effort to conserve unity and control.
- assuming most birthdays, if allowed, would probably be oriented to children, then that means 40 celebrations per year.
so all in all, this give a total potential attendance to a birthday of 30 families (120 attendance / 4 family members).

There is scriptural evidence to indicate that Job commemorated his sons birthdays.
The ancient Israelite's held a feast on the third birthday of a child, to celebrate the child's weaning.
A birthday is a wonderful way to let the child know how much it is loved, and to commemorate the gift of life.
Children are a gift from God, the Society says, and a birthday dinner (without all the pagan stuff associated) would be a wonderful way to make the children feel loved and to say thanks to Jehovah for the gift of children.
The JW stance on birthdays is just another fanatical, contrarian position that is so hurtful to children that was developed by single, childless, life-long chronic masturbators like Fred Franz to create a sense of being somehow different and special, set-apart from "Babylon the Great" and the world.

The GB really has reached the nadir in scum-bucketness, saying a little child should donate to them instead of buying an ice-cream.
Is there any more vile a religion except for the religious extremists in ISIS (no sports, no fun) for treating children so horribly than the JW's?
No birthdays, Easter, Christmas (accordingly viewed as a weirdo by schoolmates), no after-school sports, children forced to sit through dull, boring long meetings twice a week with no separate programme for the little ones like other churches do, babies and children to die rather than get an emergency life-saving blood transfusion, a paedophile in every congregation who is almost impossible to kick-out, must go door-knocking as a child magazine seller.....
You can tell the morality of any society or religion by how well it treats it's children, and JW's scrape the bottom of the barrel.
The GB make me puke!

How about this:
Say that "this generation" is simply the same as the "chosen ones" of Matthew 24:22. You heard it from me first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Matthew 24: " 21 for then there will be great tribulation+ such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.+ 22 In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.+

Sleeve tatto's look absolutely disgusting, ugly, unless you want your arm to permanently look like it's been burnt in a fire or like it's got gangrene. Fashion victim is what you are. -
