Question of procedure: When a judical committee renders the verdict of DFing - does that verdict have to unanimous amoung the elders, or just a majority?

big news - i met with the elders last night.
they were not arrogant and they were not mean spirited, but of course we all know they also would not budge from the jw brainwashed beliefs they are sworn to uphold.
i let my light shine, and within two minutes of sitting down with them was no longer nervous.. .

soldier 77 just posted this about two hours ago but i think his post got lost is the great debate and straw mans that another posters was throwing around.. anyway i hope soldier 77 does not mind if i make a thread from his insight.

anonymous are needing some more people on the inside to help.
Good luck Anon - good luck on your bible study. good luck on get baptized, giving killer talks, becoming an MS, pursuing bethel service, and eventually ending up cleaning the toilets in the legal department - where you will have a slight chance of getting the info you want. See you in 10 years.

i've been browsing here for some time now and i've read the erroneous arguments supporting 587, the petty feelings over the un, blah blah blah.
this is a community of disgruntled people telling each other what they want to hear.
you've all essentially created your own truth, tickling your own ears.
"Alright, I'm gonna take a long look at everything posted."
Theocratic Sedition: prove to us you are not a troll - start a new thread for debating 587. And engage in the debate/converstaion... So far you have only 4 posts. That seems like a troll to me.

Wow, 5 pages ... This guy is an obvious troll.
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.
Just a thought... out of all the JW doctrines, can you name any that have originated POST Freddy Franz? Rutherford came up with a lot of the crazy concepts. Fred Franz, many times more. Knorr, I think, deferred to Franz.
I can't think of any... except maybe the new attempts to morph the generation teaching into something that fits with the fact that the end is not coming... and the POST Fred Franz GB is horrible at it. I think most of the doctrines, even the concept of "the organization" itself, didn't fully originate with C.T. Russell. It was, pretty much to an exclusive degree, Rutherford and Fred Franz, and Freddy to a larger degree. These guys in there today just don't have the attention to detail, and pure skill needed to perpetuate this cult.

introduction: in the beginning.
how it all started.
read this chapter.... know your ngos!.
Know your NGOs!
When you hear that the Watchtower Society was a United Nations NGO, you may not be aware that there is actually more than one kind of NGO. This fact is important, and apostates try to keep it secret because it proves the Society was innocent. Read this chapter...
Looks like the first topic listed (Know your NGOs!) is a fancy, long winded way of saying, "We did it for the library card."
FAIL #1.
