greetings to all lurkers, posters and friends,.
like amazing, i, too, just saw farkel's h 20 post about the plusses of this forum and have decided to move camp or switch horses in mid-stream.
there is only room for one jw forum in my life, and after scanning the list of familiarly warm and fuzzy names here today, i feel like i've come home.. thank you again to farkel, surely, our own marquis de sade of anti-watchtower words.

It's strange that anything that would help clear the mind, is condemned by the WTBS.
It would be even stranger if the situation was contrary IMHO.

they don't "Fart" until they know what the SOCIETY SAYS ON THE MATTER
reform is astir and policy may be changing
rumour has it that this could be scaled down to a "conscience matter"*
watch this space.
Great post JT.

CONSCIENCE MATTER - DEFINED:
"When it's OK to think for yourself
but really you're not thinking for yourself
because you're thinking for yourself because
really
being told to think for yourself
was just another comforting order
in disguise
from the fascist commanding authority
whom you've
conscensually
permitted to control
all your thinking
including
when you can
and can't
think for yourself.

F iend asked:
Shouldn’t we all be stirring for the betterment of the community we have chosen to reside amidst?
and the I-CHING replied:
yea you've convinced me -
I guess we should -
especially when that community is an
inconsequential irrelevancy
within the big sceme of things
(and in the eyes of GOD)
that profits from enslaving people
(in some cases to death)
by perpetuating falsehoods & error.
But even more especially so
because it means that in order to
"explain" those "seeming" "falsehoods" & "errors"
(so obviously seen)
to others
we will all have to begin
posting insanity
comparable to yours here.
Yep that makes a lot of sense to me, stirring for the betterment of that kind of community, that makes a real lotta sense F iend.

If the fascist policies of the Brooklyn based book publishing company/real estate conglomerate Evil Inc.'s Board of Fascists (The GB of the WTBTS in your terms) were in anyway remotely relevant within the big scheme of things (ESPECIALLY in the eyes of GOD) than I doubt if anyone would have a problem with F iends posts.
Reality is to the contrary and that's why everything he writes is inconsequential and, more to the point - fatally flawed - regardless of the so called EVIL Inc. (WTBTS in your terms) subject/policies/reforms under discussion.
If F iend wishes to ignore this reality and pursue his noble cause of so called "reforms" to an inconsequential irrelevancy that's his perogative.
The French resistance fought a real, consequential & relevant cause - (freedom) - within the big scheme of things.
In my humble opinion the perpetuation of sales of "literature" printed by EVIL Inc. (The WTBTS in your terms)fails to meet similar criteria and any attempts to draw parallels between the two is not only ludicrous but delusional.
Maybe he's watched Casablanca one too many times?
I'll close with a quote from that film:
"I don't mind a parasite. I object to a cut-rate one." --Rick.

i received this e mail tonight...thought you might like to see.... sent: wednesday, march 14, 2001 9:01 am.
subject: bro.
lyman swingle.
bruce - i don't doubt what you are saying nor am I angry.
what i am saying is that i find your concern with a completely irrelevant brooklyn based book publishing company/ global real estate
conglomerates board of fascists policies most disconcerting.
also - that my thoughts are not subject to a process of having to be strained through a sieve of fear,
twice removed from reality
and then self censcored before I even dare to express "myself"
I shall choose to say
whatever I please with no apologies.
you should try it yourself sometime.
i hope this clarifies my position a little more fully for you.

Lee -
Once upon a time and not so long ago in a faraway kingdom called THE SPIRITUAL PARADISE a JW called F iend was at THE MEETING. At THE MEETING F iend put up his hand and answered a question with the same outright EVIL Inc. (The WTBTS in your terms) reform stupidity he spruiked off with on the World Wide Website Jehovahs-Witness.com. However Brother F iend was not immediately dragged before a judicial committee and DF'd for apostacy on the spot.
No, all the brothers and sisters but most especially THE ELDERS and the CIRCUIT OVERSEER, (CO was visiting that week*), all sat there and listened. They listened with intense interest as Brother F iend, speaking into the roving mike he was holding (yes he'd been allowed back on mike duty after shaving off his rebellious independently spirited moustache)put forward all his absolutely breathtaking ideas for reforming EVIL Inc. (The WTBTS in your terms).
When he was finished and everybody had woken up, they all stood and applauded Brother F iends wonderful plans for theocratic reform. THE BROTHERS immediately put Brother F iend on the next plane to BROOKLYN. Once at BROOKLYN Brother F iend was greeted & welcomed into the reform loving arms and inner sanctum of the EVIL Inc. Board of Fascists (GOVERNING BODY in your terms).
Before too long all of Brother F iends reforms had become THE SOCIETIES new light & policy.
And they all lived happily ever after.
