  Does anybody know how they elect new Governing Body members?

  now that "habemus papam", i was wondering how it is that someone in the watchtower becomes a member of the governing body.

  does anybody know?.

  and, how do they choose who gets to be a member of the corporations?.

  What would be the standing of a born-in who were always there (field work and all) but never baptized?

  by dgp in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this may be an elementary question but i was never a jw.. i wonder if such a person can actually exist.. i assume a born-in knows basically all about jehovah's-witnesses by the time he is, say, 16. if he were to postpone baptism, this person would not be in the same situation as a worldly who doesn't know an iota of anything, but would not be a brother, either.

  what would be his real standing?.

  I think people want to believe in an Armageddon

  the end of the world (aka "this system of things") has been predicted to happen "soon" many times.

  in my own lifetime, and not being a jw, i have been warned that the world would end like six times already.

  harold camping predicted one end of the world twice only last year.

  Why fear Satan, if Jehovah is the one who will send Armageddon to annihilate you?

  by dgp in

  isn't it funny / curious that people are always afraid of what satan will or will not do, when, in the end, it's jehovah of the armies that will annihilate you at armageddon?.

  How come you have to wait on Jehovah? Shouldn't he be faster than you?

  by dgp in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if jehovah created the universe, knows it all, et cetera, and then he has a direct line to the governing body, how come you're always told to "wait on jehovah"?

  can a simple earthling be faster in his or her reasoning than yhwh?

  can s/he notice something jehovah will miss?.

  Why would Jehovah pick Russell, erm, the Watchtower...

  by dgp in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you look at the pictures of charles taze russell, you find that the man has a goatee.

  anyways, if jehovah dislikes beards, how come he picked the owner of a prominent one as his faithful and discreet slave?.

  on the other hand, if jah chose an organization, and not charlie, as "some said", why didn't jehovah pick the catholic church instead?.
