They'll just sugar coat it and make it sound different.
Exactly. Once you get their linguistic gift grift, it's east to predict what they will do. They play games with commonly understood definitions to deceive.
EX. - Lying isn't a sin if you are conducting spiritual warefare.
are the governing body really in charge or are they just a figurehead with the real power being behind the curtain .
Haven't you heard? Fred Franz claimed under oath that Jehovah was the editor of the Watchtower magazine. They claimed to be a prophet and to be a "spirit directed organization".
his 1914 predictions failed...but did he succumb to depression as a result?.
he wore the toga to indicate he had remained faithful to death.
Except for that time he sold fake miracle wheat on the pages of the Watchtower, and
Locked himself in the bedroom of his house maid with his wife banging in the door for 10-15 minutes, and
Lied under oath about being able to read Greek and then couldn't even say the Greek alphabet, and
Revived the Arian heresy after it had been resolved for 1500 years, and
Appointed himself the savior of the world instead of Jesus.
I don't think he was a broken man, but definitely a preying man.
his 1914 predictions failed...but did he succumb to depression as a result?.
I don’t think so.
He died dressed in a Roman toga fully content with having been appointed “The” Faithful and Wise Servant responsible for the salvation of all people of the earth.
He lost his mind years before and wasn’t even looking for it.
didn't know the best subject area to put this question under....i was listening to a discussion on youtube the other day while working, so not getting every point ....part of what was talked about was the word jehovah, ( not being the most accurate translation of yhwh ) was however pushed by illuminati /secret societies for its use in magic.
(as i informed, i wasn't getting the whole conversion as i also had attention elsewhere and some of the conversation was hard to follow.
) so i am wondering if anyone on here has more information on the subject they care to share.
The Watchtower itself figures prominently in witchcraft.
From the website Witches and Pagans:
These days witches' circles are often cast complete with invocations to the guardians of the Watchtowers, one in each cardinal direction.
According to researcher John Michael Greer, the Watchtowers most likely entered the Craft from the Golden Dawn, which in turn derived them from John Dee's Enochian magic. During the original Enochian workings, during the 1580s, scryer Edward Kelly had a vision of four great towers at the quarters of the earth, the seats of guardian archangels (Greer 581).
In the magic circle with its Four Watchtowers, then, we have, in effect, re-entered old tribal territory. Its clearly-defined boundaries between in and out, tame and wild, us and other, very neatly reflect the same division of space into in-garth and out-garth that characterises ancient Germanic thought (Wódening 5ff).
In the magic circle we stand once again, as it were, in the ancient Kingdom of the Hwicce, the theedish (tribal) homeland of the Tribe of Witches.
Just look at all the Prime Time that the Watchtower has given to the topic of witchcraft over the years.

Seems like it is a topic on their minds a lot.
And there is this fine article ironically in the April 1st 2000 Watchtower (April Fools Day) :
Here the WT quotes a Wiccan High Priestess. They call her a "researcher" :
In one survey, dozens of witches were asked what message they most wanted to express to the public. Their answer, summarized by researcher Margot Adler, was: “We are not evil. We do not worship the Devil. We don’t harm or seduce people. We are not dangerous. We are ordinary people like you. We have families, jobs, hopes, and dreams. We are not a cult. We are not weird. . . . You don’t have to be afraid of us. . . . We are much more similar to you than you think.”

I can see the WT running an article something like this soon:
Valuing Friendship Like Abraham
Before the New Covenant and before the Mosaic Law, Abraham was called God's Friend. While he was under no obligation to give a tenth of his wealth to Melchizidek (Genesis 14:18-20), he did so because of his friendship with God's anointed.
Likewise today, the great crowd of other sheep are not under Mosaic Laws that stipulated giving a tenth to God's anointed priest class under penalty of death. However, as God's friends what would prevent Jehovah's people from making this a personal goal out of appreciation for such life-giving friendship? True Christians today follow examples like Abraham, not only with obedience to God's Laws, but also with their valuable things out of respect for their friendship with God. Some may even wish to exceed what Abraham gave.
The Jonadab class has unswervingly upheld the direction from the Faithful and Discreet Slave Class for more than 100 years now. They have rejected friendship with the world which makes them enemies of God; Therefore, there is every reason to believe that the Great Crowd of "other sheep" will continue to demonstrate their loyalty and friendship with God's anointed as we continue to refine our understanding of what it means to be friends with God, like Abraham.
it just keeps getting easier and easier to molest.
when big religion has got your back, and you know that you can rape kids with impunity as father religion keeps the door to heaven swinging wide, 24/7 absolution available for the superstitious pedo, why not should everyone rape kids….

In the case of some kind of serious accuasation, we as a board want law enforcement and attorney's to get involved and to work out all the details and get to the truth.
If there was some lapse in our vetting process, ethics policies etc; we want to know about it right away. We want to use professionals trained in these areas. A good insurance policy assists in these efforts.
In the unfortunate case that someone was abused on our watch, the school can't just declare bankruptcy. The insurance company could be sued up to policy limits of several million dollars. It is a protectioin and benefit to our students.

I'm on the Board of Directors of a locally ran church and K-12 academy. We have members and parents of students who are in law enforcement, university professors, construction workers... all walks of life. At great expense, we recently hired a police officer in a patrol car to be present on a full-time basis. We also do background checks for those in teaching positions.
I am encouraged by the comments above from Jhine regarding a big box name denomination. I think though that in general, locally run churches have less beauracracy to deal with. We have an insurancy policy that covers inappropriate behavior accusations specifically designed to cover legal costs so that the truth can come out in such an unfortunate case of abuse or sexual harassment of one sort or another.
Our policy of ethics is available for everyone to read and all of leadership is on board and in agreement. In the WT model, leadership just does as they are told and bears no individual responsibility for their choices to others.
As previously mentioned, even though the beauracracy of the RCC is probably high, kids are more than 100 times safer there than in a public school.
The public school system is a diaster and is turning out large numbers kids that are abused and confused. Some mutilate their bodies in an attempt to be something other than what God made them to be.
Secular Materialism is the dominant religion/philosophy in public schools. It is the dominant philosophy on this very discussion board.
We should aknowledge the existence of this new religion that is rapidly gaining ground in our society, and research it like we would any other important apparatus we are contemplating participating in.
Most of us here, as well as in my case 3 previous generations, greatly suffered from not researching the WT before joining. Let's not make the same mistake again.
