When this post first appeared, my immediate reaction was “here we go again!” Over the years there have been many false flags on JWN promoted as facts.
Why was I sceptical? The language wasn’t right. Can you really imagine a long time bethel elder speaking of “worldly shit “ and referring to the worldwide membership as the “rank and file”? I can’t see it.
The content of the article seems to be more catering to the prejudices of the readers than from a person wrestling with doubts of faith.
Having said that, I know from first-hand fact that there are doubters, even at high level, within bethel families.
But….My take on this particular article is to exercise great caution; there’s enough to highlight the borg’s failings without ‘hanging our hat’ on the unsubstantiated.
Just my .02c worth.
