just to say a big hello.
i have been reading this site for some time now and have been very unhappy with some of the things emanating from watchtower head quarters in new york.
the final straw for me is the upcoming watchtower study this weekend encouraging us to shun our own family members (our own mothers if need be) if they are disfellowshipped....a step too far for my liking.
If you want a letter to be read by those who open the mail at Bethel.
Don't make it a complaint against their doctrines.
Instead think of the funniest jokes you can put together about the Governing Body and their policies.
e.g.
"Governing Body members during Branch visits. They're are like pigeons: they fly in, shit all over us and fly out"
prince is murdered by a jw hq hit man to get his fortune.
because of some reasons the wt stands with his back to the wall and has to choose for other measures...
bible study.
bible.
ˈbʌɪb(ə)l/.
hey mods, any chance all things prince could be put under one heading.. please?
hey mods, any chance all things prince could be put under one heading.. please?
that would be like trying to herd cats wouldn't it?
if one sent a nice note to the gb, "you guys are a bunch of low life scumbags", would they cover.
it in their meeting and respond to my letter?.
In other words they will never know they are a bunch of low life scumbags.
The renewed effort by the courts to get the sexual abusers list from their grubby little filthy-lucre loving hands will help expose to what level of scumbaggery they've gone. Their evil empire will continue to bleed out cash and sink ever lower in the public eye.
be it the governing body, or the a judicial committee of the local elder body, when a two-thirds majority vote is reached, it is viewed as god’s will, as the action of holy spirit, of jesus nudging the stars in his right hand.
[and if i’m not mistaken, the minority is encouraged to change their vote, so that is “unanimous”.
anthony morris alluded to this when he unsuccessfully tried to explain why the governing body is not dogmatic.
My guess is that it's similar to an ouija board in which no individual feels in any way responsible for the outcome, but all have a part in making it happen.
I never really understood how making decision by consensus was somehow proof of divine backing.
Decisions through consensus building is the Quaker way of doing things. Quaker meetings are funny, though, there's little said, and more than a little sad as well.

Excellent quote! Very insightful and true.

What if I mailed a letter that was special delivery, must be signed by one of the GB members
because there's a check inside it, $1.00......
Not even.
you could write a letter to each individual member of the Governing Body (tm) and then have your 'apostate' connection send these letters through the internal Bethel mail system.
Maybe Rick F. from Six Screens can get you in touch with Johnny the Bethelite. (You could entice him with getting him a new burner phone).
OK so what's this special meeting on Saturday about?
It's a meeting to make JW's feel oh so special.
