i know it's true, just wondering how it came out.
did an insider leak it or was it discovered by one of us "apostates" or did someone else have an axe to grind?
i'd like to present it to people who are still jws, but not without knowing some background on who/why/how it was found out.
Hi everyone,
as Zev wrote already the link for the post is:

Hi everyone,
these few lines to thank you for the nice welcome back and the
encouraging comments. I'm much better now recovering from
health problems and the loss of dear ones. It is difficult but
joining again, even at a slow pace will greatly help me.
I'm working on a revised topic which I do hope will be a useful
reference tool.

does anyone know how members of gb are chosen?
i mean to me it sounds extraordinary that there?s no one from minorities.
no offence to our dear american friends in this forum but i wonder if there is anyone on governing body who wasn?t born in us and is not white.
Hello CyborgVision,
Some time ago, I did post quite long researches on the subject
of the ‘ Governing Body’ with many quotes and informations
going back 10, 40, 80, years and even more, to the time of
C.T.Russell.-
If you are interested , for the first part check this link

Please, do enjoy you trip. I’sure it will be very informative .

Hello everyone,
Following a web link provided by the …amazing grace of Blondie
- Many thanks again - -
-(see http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/87696/1.ashx )
I did made some research , and as a result I ended up
writing to the author of the material used in the quotation
by the WBTS Inc. Here below the text of my e-mail :
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
To the attention of Jonathan Rauch - Editor
e-mail : [email protected]
Dear Jonathan,
First allow me to introduce myself: my name is James Charles MacHislopp , and I do contribute to a forum – JWD – which deals with many topics i.e.religion, social life, bible subjects, medicine etc.
I’sorry to bother you for what you might define a trivial matter,
but the reason is ...a research made on what appeared to be just a quote printed on a religious magazine called
‘ The Watchtower’
with an average printing of each issue of 26,439,000 copies
in 15o languages.
February 15 th 2005, page 12 paragraph #1 of the study article
‘ CHRISTIANS – BE PROUD OF WHO YOU ARE ! '
Here below the quotes :
word to describe the stance many people maintain
toward their faith. He explained: "The greatest
development in modern religion is not a religion at
all—it's an attitude best described as 'apatheism.'"
Elaborating, he defined apatheism as "a disinclination
to care all that much about one's own religion."
Many people, he observed, "believe in God ...; they
just don't care much about him."
To better understand the matter, please bear in mind that the first paragraph , together with 19 others, were the object of a public ‘Watchtower study’ - a religious 60 minutes meeting - scheduled for Sunday 27 th March 2005, in more than 96,894 congregation worldwide, with attendance of well over SIX millions of people.
Of course as you can see for yourself, your name was not mentioned at all, but as you might imagine, with today's technology the Internet world can and will provide a fast and accurate search.
The result ...well it was a link to your biography:
.JONATHAN RAUCH, a senior writer and columnist for National Journal magazine in Washington and a correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly, ..."
etc. etc. and to this :
" Saying No to 'I Do' By Jonathan Rauch
First published December 27, 2004,
in The Wall Street Journal. "
and finally the link to the article used for the quotes:
"Let it be"
Please, do take a note that the Wt issue quoted , only 40 words out of a total of the possible 983 avalaible in your full text.
The whole point of this is that , the religious organization
that produces the magazine ‘ The Watchtower’, i.e.
The Watch tower Bible and Tract Society of New York Inc. ,
25 Columbia Heights, Brooklyn N.Y. 11201 –2483 USA
can be hardly associated with your ideals, personal opinions and way life that you illustrate in the article.
As a matter of fact the biblical principles and teaching promulgated and publicly taught worldwide by the the 'Watchtower Society ' and the ' Jehovah's Witnesss' in general are at opposite ends .
Therefore I do find puzzling that ' theWatchtower Society' who delights in - allow me to use your own words for it -
" discipline the religious mindset" would use and publish and make it part of a worldwide Bible' study program, material, quotes etc. from people that they always clearly condemn.
In conclusion, if I have not disturbed you, I would be pleased
to have your comments .
Many thanks again for the time you took to read my e-mail,
Sincerely ,
James Charles MacHislopp
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I did include my new e-mail.
I do hope that my letter will not offend anyone, and I’ll glad to
receive any comments from you.

Hello,
I have just realized that I’ve posted on the wrong thread. ( I'm not in my best form yet)
Will it be possible for any of the board administrators to move it where it really belongs?
Btw, Blondie, thank you very much for your expression of welcome. I always tried not to miss your excellent work on t
he Wt “studies”.
