Signs of a nefarious conspiracy? Highly doubtful; what the WTS says or does may matter a fair bit to the XJW community, but they're barely a blip on the rest of the planet's radar.

They're small potatoes, Sab; they always have been.

And just in case you were thinking of responding with something along the lines of "that's just what they want you to think!", frankly, I have a hard time believing they give a rat's ass what anybody thinks. Everything they've done supports the conclusion that the GB are full-on True Believers (TM) , and people like that really don't care what other people think.

We're just future bird food as far as they're concerned, not existential enemies (with Jaracz's views possibly being the exception that proves the rule, IMO).

NewChapter - "Vidiot, I'm going to send you a pm."

Okeedokee.

NewChapter - "As JW's, the GB did have rationale."

I was being facetious.

Like when a really messy coworker comments on the color of his desk, and you reply with subtle (deadpanned) mockery, "you have a desk?"

Unfortunately, there's no "sardonic" emoticon.

Hey, NewChap; the same kinda "critical thinking" thing happened to me.

And I frickin' hated those stoopid urban legends. Confirmation Bias, indeed.

BTW, I can't find that joke thread about someone else here on JWN asking you out, where you invited me to your other forum.

WTF???

PS: Is your user avatar a pic of the real you? If so, very nice...If not, well, you can keep the virtual rose, anyway.

sabastious - "...The Jehovah's Witnesses follow the rationale of the Governing Body..."

The GB has a rationale???

james_woods - "I personally cannot look at any of the religions the same way after the JWs."

Ditto; the WTS did such an effective job discrediting organized religion with me, that I have virtually zero desire to lean towards any faith, these days.

james_woods - "Ed Dunlap told me was that he really felt bad about the JW religion because they were so horrible that they pretty much spoiled all religion for most of the people who left the JWs."

I'm almost positive that the WTS deliberately engineered that particular aspect of its ideology for that specific purpose; an "if we can't have 'em, at least no one else'll get 'em either" attitude.

Not that that makes we want to go to some other Church any time soon; I'm contrarian, but not that contrarian.
