The Ray Franz quote about them being victims was true at the time. But once the book was written their blinders were off. And with all the information on the internet today and the court cases piling up the governing body can no longer claim ignorance. They are evil and willfully so!

Is the Governing Body EVIL or IGNORANT?
by cedars insome of you will have noticed that i've been paying a lot of attention to the governing body recently.
this is because most jehovah's witnesses venerate them collectively (even if they can't name them individually), and i feel this makes it important to understand this group of men properly and expose their mindset as individuals.
as the saying goes, i feel it's important to "know your enemy".. i realize it's very convenient to think of the governing body as being "evil" when we consider that they are ultimately responsible for all the damaging jw teachings and beliefs.

I enjoyed the documentary "The Buddha" on PBS. They also did a series about the Mormons that was pretty interesting as well, especially the way former members were treated.

For me it has been a journey through these books: "Crisis of Conscience", "In Search of Christian Freedom", "Combatting Cult Mind Control", "Releasing the Bonds", "I'm Perfect You're Doomed", "Confessions of a Teenage Jesus Jerk", "Evolution for Dummies", "The God Delusion", "God is Not Great", and "The End of Faith", along with various books about Zen philosophy.
These movies have also been important: "Religulous" and "Worlds Apart".
Some books I am interested in reading next are "The Spanking Room", "Growing Up in Mama's Club", and "1984". Who has read these? Do you recommend them?
What else has been of help to you?

Horrific Violence in Today's Movies.

growing up, i remember the batman and robin tv show from the 1960's, and i assumed that the dark knight movies would be along the same lines.

I was naturally intrigued by what Scott77 posted about Bowen here and googled it. Apparently a thread was started about this but it must have gotten locked. Can anybody clue me in on the gist of it?
