some of you will have noticed that i've been paying a lot of attention to the governing body recently.
this is because most jehovah's witnesses venerate them collectively (even if they can't name them individually), and i feel this makes it important to understand this group of men properly and expose their mindset as individuals.
as the saying goes, i feel it's important to "know your enemy".. i realize it's very convenient to think of the governing body as being "evil" when we consider that they are ultimately responsible for all the damaging jw teachings and beliefs.
Also....what would you call people that go to great efforts to make millions go to people's doors teaching them things they either know to be wrong or in the very least, are not sure if they RIGHT..... but send them out anyway........with the result being people die, get sick and are damaged????
To illustrate, what would happen to you if you falsely yelled fire in a theater?
Yeah.....
Evil.

I'm reminded of this quote...........especially considering they are sitting on the libraries, the artifacts, the documents. I bet they don't want to look.....
“Ignorance is not innocence but sin.” ? Robert Browning

My favorite post I've ever read here. Thank you Cedars.
Very eloquent. Its THE question I ask myself daily. I can't wrap my head around it.....I've known rank and file JW's that were smarter on matters of the Bible......so I see the blatant ignorance............I just can discern if these guys are also blatantly evil.
Have they looked at the past? The failed doctrines? BLOOD; and those that have died? Did they make the changes in recognition of being wrong?
Then there is the latest power push to honor DFing, to stay away from Apostates, etc. How can they NOT KNOW what they've done??
Its puzzling.....I'm looking forward to reading responses.
I would love to read responses from ex-Bethelites.......what is their perception?
to quote the great rapper t.i this statement hit home : "never forget the people who stayed when everyone else left.. stay true to your team".
i had a lot of people leave my side three years ago; because some of my "phony homies" began to listen to my ex-finance spreading rumors about me and my family.
so to make a long story short i lost a lot of "friends" from my old way of life, but i picked up some true homies , and reconnected with a true homie in the long run.. i just had to ask that question because some of us were popular while we were in or we weren't the social butterflies.
Yes.
to punch them in the face.
i used to be very active int he organization, "high profile" so to speak.
always taking the gorup out in service, always having parts on the platform etc etc.
almost 5 years ago, i simply did not show up anymore.
Such love huh? Talk about shepherds "knowing the appearance of the flock"......5 years. How touching.
Nothing like leaving that 99 to retrieve the one sheep that has strayed.
This is a perfect example of why there is NO WAY this could be God's organization.

cedars.
My god this man is a total idiot.
Philosophy 1 & II??
Yeah......they go to college; go to a few meetings and then disappear. Newsflash dumbass, they've been WAITING to get away from this 'spiritual paradise' for years!!!
Yeah....all those doctors, dentists, lawyers, engineers, etc at Brooklyn Bethel somehow escaped the clutches of Satan and are now being used in God's work.......
Plain and simple: moron.
this is something i cannot find the answer to on my own.. who exactly answers your letter when you write the society?.
i thought maybe there has been a thread on this before or maybe one of your awesome researchers would know how to answer?.

I had a prominent District Overseer tell me they end up in the garbage. He even did the whole 'crumple up and toss' motion while explaining it to me.
Don't bother. They don't care. Its a cult.
dear randall.
good morning!.
here is the daniel of brazil (former bethel).. this week at the forum of former jehovah's witnesses had an interesting news!
LostGeneration,
You nailed the entire problem with JWs in a nutshell: the apostates no more about the religion than the JWs themselves. I have yet to meet ONE JW that can explain generations to me.......including elders.
Its all smoke, mirrors and fear.
jane doe v. watchtower bible and tract society of new york, inc.. .
jury trial - june 14, 2012 - day 10. .
mr. schnack: ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the judge has instructed you that it is your choice to award or not to award punitive damages.
Londo,
that is the EXACT same thing I was thinking. Like groveling scum.....but they will DF a minor for squeezing a boob.
JW's are evil.
this recent video has already appeared on a few threads, but i thought it deserved it's own.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob7vynx8evg.
