Wow, Marvin, can't believe how much a patronising douche you've been in this thread.
there are a lot of them out there; disgruntled ex-jehovah's witnesses.. they spend their days making up outrageous claims about the watch tower society and the "faithful and discreet slave", spreading their poison on weblogs, social networks and internet chat forums.. helpfully, i've created a list of 6 simple steps that the governing body can impliment today to help avoid creating disgruntled ex-members.. read it on my weblog and discuss in this internet chat forum..
Which is why I said discuss it here.
Calm down, cyberjesus.
who, then, are the mentally diseased ones:those who choose to carefully weight and evaluate the teachings offered as truth?
orthose who choose to shut off their minds and just believe what theyre told to believe?.

i've taken a look at what the watch tower society has implied regarding its building plans in upstate new york and compared that with the governing body's beliefs regarding when the end will be.. when does the governing body believe the end will be?.

I think they also shatter the illusion that the elders act "out of love" in such cases where "apostasy" is the accused thought-crime.

JWs on Wikipedia have tried to bury any use of the recordings and transcripts of the judicial committee meetings - and subsequent appeal - in the case of Matthew Barrie (hobotalk) from the Wikipedia entry on discipline within the Watch Tower Society .
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah%27s_Witnesses_and_congregational_discipline
I've had a submission to my blog of all of the audio and transcripts of the case, along with a study in the ethics involved in such cases.
Thus far the blog ranks highly in Google searches "jehovah's witness judicial hearing" and derivetives.
Let's share this content as widely as possible so that the apologists won't be able to bury the evidence of how judicial committees work.
