So if I understand you right, you're saying that the cure to the problems of the WTBTS is that the GB members all need to get laid!
If only it were that simple.
ok it not just about the governing body not giving or getting any good oral, it's about repression of sex drives, and shadow projections(jungian).. the governing body are rule oriented, that's what they do best make rules, rules about sex, nakedness, sexy cloths, crossdressing, what is proper sex for a christian, what is loose conduct, anal sex, oral sex, what is a bad word, the list goes on and on......i need not even mention forbiding masturbation for deaf members of it cult ,and lets not forget the indoctrination of little children and how to view there private parts and poper touching(that's what control freaks do).
strong attention is given to sex but mostly in a negative deity centric hatred bent viewpoint.. recent elder's school show the governing body want to see less mercy and more disfellowshipping, encouraging younger more hard line elders to ignore the sentementality of more mercy inclined older elders.. this means they are suppressing thier sex drives into what jung would call the shadow, and then projecting this shadow in thier world view outside to something they consider evil, and so they are in effect shadow boxing fighting thier repressed desires which they have projected to the ouside world.
that is why they have taken up a merciless stand against sex outside the proper bounds of a bronze age deity's decree,(or what they imagine to be his decree).. the more the repression the more they hate the projected shadow.. in the governing body's collective mind only the bad guys get thier dicks sucked or asses fucked,( of thier projected shadow).. so please correct me where i'm wrong but this is what i have concluded:.

just discovered that the 'new light' regarding the the identity of the 'slave' is not so new.
in the brochure "who are doing jehovah's will today?
", (brought out months before the annual meeting) it clearly states in the first paragraph in section 19 that "jesus would appoint the slave - during the time of the end!!
I think they're trying a new technique of changing "doctrines." I've actually noticed this concerning quite of few recent changes. They start by just changing a teaching(s) in the WT or other publications without announcing it as aa change. They introduce subtle, seemingly innocuous statements that are carefully worded to be vague, sometimes deliberately ambiguous and often open to being interpreted in multiple ways.
This gets the R&F used to the change without drawing unwanted attention to it.
Then, but only with the bigger changes, they will later make an announcement of the change as "New Light." Not too surprisingly, instead of uproar and outrage, the majoritiy of JW's respond with a knee-kerk, "That's what I already believed about that!" pre-programmed response.
It's a very insidious sort of a mind-fuck that betrays the true nature of the leaders of this cult. They know what they're doing. It's cold and it's calculated.

a brother once explained away 1975 by saying "jehovah changed his mind about the ninevites, didn't he?
did that mean he was a false prophet?
how would you answer that?.

greetings to you all from scotland!
it's nice to finally be able to say hello to you all, having been a long time reader of the forum.. i put off signing up as i didn't feel i had much to contribute, but if i'm honest, seeing atlantis' post about confidential information pushed me into it.. i hope i can get round to writing my story - i always enjoy reading others and it never ceases to amaze me how many have had similar experiences.. so there goes my first post!.

Welcome! I've travelled extensively in Scotland, but alas I'm from a continent far, far away!
well according to the governing body aka> jehovah's spokesman for the entire earthly population, a toy such as sparlock that is in the posession of small children who's parents are jws makes jehovah "sad".. well if that is true then jehovah needs to see a psychiatist for depression caused by unreasonableness and phobias.
if this little child toy makes him sad, and prone to wrath and murder, as biblical accounts show him wipeing out vast portions of the human and animal populations when his sadness hits major proportions, he also needs to take some anger management courses to get a handle on his sanity and riegn in his jealousy which seems destructive and out of control at times.. it is no idle speculation that if jehovah finds sparlock offensive and makes him depressed, he's got some serious mental issues, but realistically this sadness is all a projection of the governing body and shows them to have the issues that they are projecting on a imaginary figure whom they call jehovah.
in other words the currant governing body are a bunch of mentally sick bastards in a delusional state of mind..

Nice assessment!
I concur.

i found this mother's letter to be an eye opener--.
written by liza long, republished from the blue review.
friday's horrific national tragedy -- the murder of 20 children and six adults at sandy hook elementary school in newtown, connecticut -- has ignited a new discussion on violence in america.
Marking for later!
hello, its been a long time since i was an active member to this forum.
life had gotten busy, and i had forgotten my old log in information.
it was 11 years, and 3 computers ago when i had made my original account here.
Welcome back. It's nice to hear your kids appreciate that you got them out.
I tried to get my kids out. Sadly I have not been successful, at least so far. But I'm still trying!

so my niece was disfellowshipped about 18 months ago for having a worldly boyfriend who was obviously staying over at her place on a regular basis.
they now have a house together an are going strong.
her boyfriend is a nice guy.
SIL, congrats on your new baby. It sounds like your a terrific aunt and your parents are at least responding well too.
You wrote: ... the sum total of it was her accepting the society explanation of the UN NGO thing.
When did the WTBTS ever offer anything approaching an official "explanation" of that? I missed it. Please share!

cagefighter has been a little down in the dumps as usual around the holidays, short days, lack of clear family status and plans for the pagan rituals like everyone else.
i have also been struggling with my belief or lack of in god and god letting idiots with guns run around while he does nothing for children dying of cancer hasn't helped either.
you can say, i have been in a extreme rationalists state of mind.. last week for my small group from church (the umc equivelent of the book study in jw land) we just decided to pop this little movie in the dvd player and light up the fire place.
It's about time!
the current members of the governing body and their predecessors have for over one hundred years contributed to the advancement of peace and reconciliation, theodemocracy and human rights in more than 200 countries... on this account, the norwegian nobel committee has decided to nominate the governing body of jehovah's witnesses in 2013 for the nobel peace price.

Either this is a joke or MN is whacked!
Nothing on the website supports such a ridiculous claim.
