  Star Chamber Tactics by the Governing Body (related to Merriman/May)

  by Dogpatch in

  the following is an excerpt from edmund gruss' "the four presidents," a book that consists of interviews with former high-level officials in the brooklyn headquarters of the watch tower society in brooklyn, who spent years working with the members of the governing body and presidents of the watch tower society.their true identities will be kept hidden likely until they pass on due to family connections still within the wt, but peter gregerson, barbara anderson, ed gruss, and dozens of others including myself personally know these interviewees and can attest to the truthfulness of what they say, based on total harmony with our own experiences which often overlapped.. .

  what is a "star chamber?

  "wikipedia defines it thusly:.

  trying to reach teenage daughter

  by Aussie Oz in

  had some interesting chats with my daughter today about whether she believes everything she hears at the meetings and reads in the watchtower.. turns out she does.. until i pressed on a few subjects... turns out she does not think worldly people are bad, that the wt is wrong for blanket statements about how evil they all are, that she does not think it is right that they have failed predicting the end for over a hundred years and disagrees when they keep pushing the end,.

  and i find this all rather alarming!.

  because although some lights are firing (and i mean that in a nice way!).

  Witnesses don't do good deeds for anyone, unless its advertised. I remember this dear old sister in my old cong.(she was a C.O's wife, real motherly type) and she needed some painting done. A pioneer from the cong, charged her a fortune to paint her garage and when I and my friend found out we painted her house for her for nothing, we just did it because we would expect our mothers to be treated the same. The spiritual ones are only kind when others know about it. (Sorry they are not all the same).

  I'm still watching it and realised that their fleshly brother is dfs and they get upset that he is at their mothers and she doesn't want them to tell their father, who himself just did the wrong thing. How truthful is this story, they are hypocrites. CULT,CULT,CULT.

  my youngest sister is the only person in my jw family who has had any real contact with my husband and i and our baby.

  for the first year she cut us off too but then after a while she seemed to realize how horrible it was and she opened up to us.. well, she is very easily influenced by the family and so she cut us off again.

  she tried to feed me the line about it being for our own good blah, blah, blah.. here is an excerpt from how i replied:.
