  You too, invent your "new light"

  i had this idea of topic when john aquila made me laugh in one of his post when he said : new light!the governing body has the right to have sex with all the new virgins that get baptized before they get married.. and then i've decided to open this topic to ask this (stupid but funny) question : if you was in the gb, what's the "new light you will want to fight for?

  New light.

  Every time the words Governing Body are mentioned in a meeting all the publishers are to bow their heads and say Holy Governing Body.
  

  As to what i might say... probably "Holy crap!" instead.

  Okay, here it goes again in it's original full color splendor!

  Those loyalty questions are a form of violence. There is NO harmless loyalty question you can throw at someone. They are darts full of poison.

  They connote that if you disagree with WT policy you will suffer, be punished with marking or DF'ing, be distanced from your family and friends, ending up emotionally and mentally maltreated by Gobbering Body supporters to your detriment.

  The only response to your advantage is to hit back hard:

  Something like: "I am sorely disappointed and quite disgusted you would throw those questions at me. Who are you the Spanish Inquisition? I'm feeling harassed when you dare ask me that. You obviously aren't interested in my nor anyone else's well-being. (Now put fists to waist, Superman style, and assert vigorously and with frowning eyebrows.)

  "If you EVER dare harass me with anything like that again I'm seeking a restraint order for continued harASSment!" (Raise your voice and accentuate the second syllable not the first).

  Then add a parting rhetorical question: "How DARE you!?!" And walk away from them.

  Don't pause while you tell them any of this, don't give them a chance to interrupt through your assertion. Talk over them if you have to. You are incensed because of their verbal violence and you refuse to be victimized.

  If this mind controlled automaton dares sic the elders on you, then you simply rinse and repeat the process to wash them off your hair--or if you will, contemplate another, more emphatic illustration--do a shot of this spiritual listerine response to combat their septic mindset, swish and flush them out with a good tongue lashing then spit out your not so subtle protestation at them full force.

  Not a very Christian response? Consider it the anti-loyalty-question equivalent of throwing the filthy-lucre-loving money changers out of the Temple.

  These people are trying to do you harm. They're like a bear trap's teeth waiting to spring. Once you give the inquisitionist bear trap a good baseball bat tongue lashing, they'll snap themselves into impotent silence.

  Hit them where it spiritually counts, with a swift legal knee to their cultish gonads.

  Did you see their drone?

  There were many drones milling about like minions, but did you mean the one that was flying about?

  There was a time when I would have thought "Wow! The Society does such a great job of organizing things!"

  Then again, I worked on some of these "organizing" projects, saw the nepotism, the preferential treatment of some, the denigrating of others, the gossiping, the stupid, wasteful and senseless instructions to do things the way the "organization" (read ignorant, self-deluded men in control) does things.

  Now I just shake my head in disappointment, in disgust, and feel sorry for those still mentally subservient to the "Organization" (still read ignorant, self-deluded men in control).

  So for those two years supposedly they have operated at a deficit.

  How does the WT remain viable? How does the WT spend millions "teaching"?

  Those figures are just "funny" in a weird way.
