I am continuing to enjoy the speculation! A couple things I find strange are the fact that this has only been leaked on a Portugese (Brazil) discussion board. Brazil seems like the last place that a major rumor (if true) would come from. Do the US elders that are on JWD know of a special school happening in 2013? (if I missed this somewhere, I apologize)

To Randy (Dogpatch): Is the quote you posted from someone you have had contact with in the past? A reliable source? I am guessing that it is possibly a former bethelite based on his post.

Thanks

P.S. -- In case you missed this earlier: "changes in academic literature" in the thread title was a mistranslation.

i wanted to consolidate a lot of the information about the attack of anonymous against the watchtower society.

if you disagree with the tactics of anonymous, that's fine.

this information may still be useful as the public is made more aware of the the dangerous policies of the watchtower society.

Slimboy...I looked at the original thread (link in O.P., and understand a little portugese. 'academic literature' is mis-translated (via google translator) for "campo doutrinal"

Anyway...gotta love a good spec-thread!

Not really relative to 'where he is now' but an interesting thread from 2006 re: JBS:

If he's a lawyer...wonder what kind of public records there are out there: BAR assoc. cases worked on / filed etc. Interesting thread.

How many apostates are in the governing body?

by DT in

jw

if the elders ask a publisher if he thinks the society should change the blood policy or any policy and he admits that he thinks that something should be changed, then he can be disfellowshipped for apostasy.

however, it appears that the governing body periodically votes on proposed policy changes and a 2/3 majority is needed to make a change.

this means that governing body members often openly admit that they disagree with some official policies.

Great minds think alike DT...I had this same thought re: the GB way back when I first started posting.

http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/162205/1/The-A-Word

To any lurkers out there: Don't be scared of this word...It's just something the GB uses to freak you out. It worked on me for a long time! Join the board and start posting.

V8.0 now available on pastebin (links on this thread, may have to go back a page or two) - They are still supposedly working on the 'MAJOR LEAKS'. We shall see...Flipper, you're right..I'll try not to be so impatient! ;-)
