IF a GB member were removed/DFed the RandF would respond the same way they did with R Franz. The WTBT$ would publically demonize the infidel as being overcome by Satan and then stress the need to stay even closer to Jehovah/b0rg. Another campaign against reading ANY apostate material would ensue in an attempt to instill fear into the dubs. Some would leave, but most would be even more resolved to stay "faithful". I was one of the fearful who refused to be shaken by the departure of R Franz or read COC. Remember, most JWs looked at this as yet another "test of faith" and stayed including many on this board. The only difference now is that the internet provides instant information to those with questions so possibly more would leave this time.

An eager Sister Pioneer approaches the BOE with her plan...
by LogCon insister pioneer, always thinking of how to expose false religion and promote true worship, finds out that many mormons are becoming disillusioned with the mormon faith because of the revelations being exposed on the internet.
if it is exposing the mormons, it would help to expose other false religions.she puts two and two together and comes up with a plan.. after the next meeting she asks the boe to meet with her at the back room.. ' with all in attendance brother jorgenson speaks first.... brother jorgenson: ' sister pioneer, this is most unusual but we know you are excited about something.
tell us what is on your mind.

EOM, I agree that most everyone has somthing quirky about them. The difference imo is that JWs usually don't have the social skills to control the crazy when in public. Let me put it bluntly. We all burp and fart but most of us know better than to do it in public.

True story: Some years back, while I was an active JW, I had spent months encouraging a dear friend of mine (who was inactive for years) to attend the Sun. meeting with me. Imagine my delight when she finally came. We hadn't even had time to find our seats before an officious sister got in her face and said in a loud voice, "You are wearing cologne! Don't you know there are people here who are alergic???" Needless to say, my friend never attended another meeting again. Thank you rude sister, you helped my friend see what she needed to see!

I have sympathy for those with guniune alegeries as I have serious skin alergies. The issue is how should people with health problems be accomodated at JW functions and should there be rules or should common sense be more common? IMO the person with the problem has the primary responsiblity to care for his own health. If that means wearing a mask, or changing seats, or in extreme cases staying home and tying in with the phone. After all, if a person is sick in the hospital no one expects them to attend do they? OTOH, considerate people will omit colongue when they know it is an issue.

Did the WBT$ see this coming? Is this why they printed that recent pic in the Watchtower of JWs meeting in a basement?

Who does AMlll think designed his "acceptable" suit? The field of design is, and has always been, dominated by gays. If we were to remove every item with gay design we would be sitting on a bare floor naked.

RedPillPopper, Welcome to the forum. You hit the nail on the head. The Watchtower regularly takes one scripture and spins a yarn. Then refutes the stupid with more soopid. We look foreward to knowing more about you and your story.
