Of a more serious nature: as the anointed have both Brothers and sisters among their ranks, why has there never been a female member of the governing body.
I would like some serious consideration of this question
i'm mean were talking making someone a policy maker for the corporation that can have serious financial consequences.
i'm sure intelligence is not high on the priority list for this noble office being they hate higher education and consider it a waste of time.. i'm sure they would thoroughly know the party line as any self respecting mind control would never choose an original thinker.
i'm also sure a lot of ass kissing happens before one gets chosen as a ass wiping helper which seem to be a sort of initiation into governing body corporate politics and a sort of proving ground to show your determination protect the organization from the enemy be they what ever source.

for many who have left jw.org, there is still a spiritual need and faith in the bible.
beroean pickets is one group/website where serious bible research and commentary, weekly critical reviews of wt studies, as well expose's of flawed wt opinion/doctrine- all backed by the bible- can be considered.
this vast amount of work and research is all done by just a small group of our volunteer brothers and sisters.
The Beroean pickets website was what finally mad me realize TTATT
The videos Eric has produced are both frank and Honest.
Well done Eric and keep up the good work.

My takeaway from this is the Governing Body are supposed to be under a "vow of poverty". Is $800+ on hard liquor what a "vow of poverty" looks like?
In the Caleb and Sophia cartoon, Sophia has a little change and really wants ice cream. But she feels guilty and drops it in the contribution box instead of getting ice cream. Is this what the donations being spent on? If children are being ask to self-sacrifice their ice cream money, why can't Tony Morris set an example in self-sacrifice?
I think too of all the thousands of middle-ages Bethelites that have been laid off after spending decades at Bethel. But it is not a prospect Tony Morris or other Governing Body members face, is it? While former Bethelites struggle to find employment and lodging, Tony is spending hundreds of dollars on booze.
It reminds me of Judge Rutherford during the Great Depression. He had two Cadillacs, lived in a mansion in San Diego, and had liquor smuggled down from Canada.
Tony Morris drives a nice car, lives in an upper middle class apartment at the Warwick compound and spends his Sunday morning on a liquor run.
I guess that's where chitty chitty bang bang came from
hello everyone!
does anyone have any confirmation that the governing body uses the business class for its flights?.
also interesting is the information about the hours that were on the hand of one of the members of the governing body..
can you imagine some of those big boys squeezing into coach. and then incidentally witness to their captive audience.
quite a few years ago there was a poster here that left the religion because he knew it was simply not true.
however, he returned to jws because he wanted to be with his family.
i donβt know how he is doing but gumby was his name.
I am on my second fade. This time more serious with my Internet searches and I was alive in 75 .
The WT org is now rerunning 1975 all over again Now didn't the Ezekiel book come out before 75 Yes sometime around them . the new Ezekiel book will stir the troops into deep prophetic thought all over again. one brother recently told me he was downsizing and moving to some hick town out in the country where the need is great and very few elders. probably thinks he will be a ms then elder there,, I looked at an Asian mum and her little child coming out of the supermarket the other day. they looked so sweet and I said to myself No God is not going to destroy them just for being people and not a JW
thw wts likes to play games with their statistics.
one interesting but truly tragic is the number of jwhovah's witnesses who commit suicie.. now i suspect that if a person commits suicide shortly before or after they are disfellowshipped then the elders would say that person wasn't a witness or that they had done something so terrible that they were too guilty to admit it and by their action of committing suicide they pretty much declared they were no longer a jw.. yup fancy talk to make sure any crap didn't fall on them.. so my question.. do you know of cases like this?
if so then can you answer a few more questions.. had this person been dfed or in real danger of being dfed or whatever the equivalent is if they were never baptized?.

i haven't been to a kh in decades, so i get the google alerts for jws and i got one featuring a local news channel in brooklyn covering the assembly being held in flatbush, brooklyn.
i'm sure that venue is where the circuit assemblies are usually held, keeping in mind it's summer and that's when the district assemblies are being held.
why are they acting like they're so strapped for cash and now holding district assemblies in circuit assemblies locations ?.

Holding District conventions in Circuit assembly halls generates more revenue for the WTS.
10 Conventions in the north of New Zealand will generate over 100K in revenue with very little expenditure.
anyone have the attendance numbers/baptism numbers for this?.
i would also be interested to find out the convention attendance stats for new zealand for any year available - so that they can be added to this.. thanks!.
attendance average 3200 Baptized 13 that is .04 of 1%
