it's relative. Relative to the real world, they are zeroes and should be miserable. But in their own little world, they are at the top;
Like they say;

Is it really that great being one of the Governing Body Members?
by John Aquila inmovie stars travel to, or buy their own private beaches, they get invited to fun parties, and are able to buy not one, but several fast sport cars like jay leno.
they can buy their own planes and helicopters and fly them like harrison ford.
(how much fun would that be?

Just ask Geoffrey Jackson if being one of the Governing Body members is really that big of a deal?Is it just me or am I way off feeling sorry for that poor girl that married him and she has to see this face above her during knooky-knooky time.

Many love to walk the red carpet in their designer dresses and diamond necklaces which they rarely buy. They write books on romance, success, and biographies and they sell like hotcakes. They buy the best jewelry, go to all the sports games, Broadway shows, and eat at the finest restaurants in the world.
They can afford the biggest mansions on the market with a huge swimming pool, tennis court, and a theater room bigger than most average homes, And they can actually enjoy them.
And when they break the law, many times they get breaks that average people just don’t get. Even when they commit indiscretions, people tend to forgive them. (Think Tiger Woods)
On the other hand Governing Body members get room, and board but their travel is unlike other wealthy people. Their travel is for purposes of giving WT talks in certain cities---Boring----
The GB are under the constraints of their own stupid laws and visibly they have to abide by them or get disfellowshipped like Ray Franz. So no wild parties, they can’t buy their own sports car or planes. They can’t write any personal biographies and make money. They can’t use any of the billions of dollars to buy their own personal mansions. I’ve never heard of any of them attending a basketball, football, or soccer game.
If they commit an indiscretion like Tiger Woods and the world finds out, (they are done, out into the street they go) None have any True friends, because all their friends are conditional. Their cushy life is hanging on a very thin thread. It’s almost like being the Kingpin in a prison.They run things in their little prison, but they are still prisoners.
Being a GB is really only one step, maybe two above a regular JW. They are trapped and slaves of their own “concept”

Instructions from the Old Elder's Book
by John Aquila inlast night i was looking over the notes on my old elders book and one of the instructors told us to write this down.
"when you want to get the friends to believe and obey anything, just keep saying it over and over and over and eventually they will believe it and follow whatever they are being told.
when i went back to school, i learned this quote in one of my world history classes..

John: ....a worldly bar...
Lol! Is there any other kind?
OC, by your question you just made me realize something I never thought of before.
"I've never been in a bar"

There's only so much I could take learning the the semantics between pornea, indecency and brazen conduct.
Ha ha, you just reminded me, I was so serious about those details back then, and after we got back home, the whole elder body would conjure up different scenarios to see if we all understood the difference between those terms. Now that I look back I just shake my head at how young and stupid I was.
We even had a judicial hearing with a sister whose husband went to a worldly bar and had a girl dancer - dance on his lap. We judged it as fornication because the dancer's genitals touched his lap and we gave her permission to divorce him scriptural. Can you believe a bunch of elders in their 20s giving an older woman permission to divorce her husband.

It's not in the written text, we were told to write notes and instructions on the sides of the pages. And make sure no one in our families saw the book or our notes.
Little did I realize it was indoctrination at its finest.

If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.

Now you know why they keep explaining the “Overlapping Generation” over and over and over?

There's older watchtowers that say the same thing that the translaters were not inspired. This religion is such a joke.
Here's one I always use with the JWs when I feel like freaking out someone and getting a laugh for the day. It always works, they totally lose it for a while.
*** w96 4/15 p. 19 Why True Worship Receives God’s Blessing ***
Bible translations themselves are not inspired by God. Translations, by their very nature, may reflect variations of the understanding of the original tongues in which the Bible was recorded. -

I never realized how boring I was.
by John Aquila inas a true believer in the watchtower, i never knew how truly boring i was until being out for a couple of years and then sitting down with a group of jws and having a conversation..

i decided to go have breakfast at mcdonalds and a group of jws who were out in service and know me also stopped for breakfast and sat down with me and we talked for about an hour.
