I think they closed rank on who the FDS was because the "remnant" scattered around the world were seen by the GB as getting entirely too full of themselves.

Little peon "anointed" in their own Halls and along the side ways and by ways were uttering their thoughts and regular publisher people were "ohhh" "ahhh" over it.

The change of the overlapping generation was an ideal time to just change the base of power also. Pull it back in to a straight up and down arena of control of 7 men in NYC.

Naturally, this has resulted in more disgruntled "anointed" ones round the world. Some of started websites critical of the GB in NYC but for the most part it is unimportant to the publishers it would seem.

What Road Would You Choose---IF?

by John Aquila in

say you could go back in time to when you were 15 years old.

As a young romantic teen, I wanted to join the Peace Corp. The closest option at the time? Became a pioneer instead.

I soaked up education and would have kept going forever if not for being in a religion that frowned on it. I would have loved to become a cultural anthropologist specializing in nutritional anthropology.

It fascinates me how we live and interact with our natural world and what has been and is used now to nurture our bodies, the elaborate rituals and taboos that have been constructed around that process and how it varies through time and place.

I also have to say HoldMe-ThrillMe that I loved your answer!

In my thinking I agree with all of the above and think people really need to get over themselves a LOT - especially Americans.

That said, I can see this trend having a silver lining in that several JW mainstays are going to come to be perceived as more and more heinous. Namely, the blood issue, child abuse and of course DF policy.

Another well thought out and constructed post. Thank you OrphanCrow. When I read statements like the one below I know you are exactly right. The underlying principles are chilling.

What if the abortion "rules" of the Catholic Church changed as biotechnology changed - and then it was found out that bigwig Catholics were the ones who were tied to that biotechnology?
Maybe someday I will have the time to compile a list to show the magnitude of the JW over representation in the blood management world,

You too, invent your "new light"

by coalize in

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?

oppostatean hour agoNew 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.

Can we make this a drinking game?
