  They are making assumptions about his character over at jwtalk, just from looking at his picture:

  

  Thats The Halo Effect in action right there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_effect

  This guy looks so kind and understanding too:

  I don't know how Lloyd Evans gets these vids, id love to do a rebuttal on it too.

  The tight pants even got a mention. Tony is likely the instigator for this brilliant video. I notice no GB member had the balls to present this topic.

  So the Watchtower has now banned beards, tight pants, certain sleeping positions, sitting on a bethel boys lap and humping sheets.

  Fuck, I would make a terrible JW if I went back. There's nothing I like more than sitting on a boys lap with a pillow between my legs while we engage in skinless pornea.

  The "Imperfect Men" Argument

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one of the most common "defences" of jw organization is that "the brothers" are imperfect yet still strive to follow god's word.

  "sure, they make mistakes," so the argument goes, "but so did god's people in the past, including in bible times.

  " the key point is their readiness to keep studying god's word and learning from their mistakes.".

  You know who else are "imperfect men, sincere in their study of the bible?"

  The Pope

  The Archbishop of Canterbury

  Thomas S Monson (Mormon president)

  St.Jerome (translated the bible into Latin)

  Martin Luther

  Yet, if we dared to follow what these men say/said we'd be out on our ear. We're supposed to follow "the best imperfect organization on earth".

  Part of me wishes that while i was in i should have claimed to be anointed and watch what happens. I was always the bible scholar. The stand-in talk guy when a speaker didnt turn up, i did talks because i actually liked doing them.
  

  Should have claimed to be anointed. The elders would hate me for it.

  Another perk for the Cooks is that now they get to travel anywhere they want to in the world, with first class air and 5 star accommodations, for "theocratic" activities.

  I wonder why Tony Morris wanted to give a talk in Trinidad? I hear the climate is lovely over there.

  Meanwhile, the poor brothers in Russia are having meetings in secret with digital publications downloaded off the internet. No GB member planning a visit? No? Oh, yeah, "we're with you in spirit brothers".

  Was it Paul who was beaten up and thrown out of the city gates? And then returned years later and preached again? The GB should take a leaf out of his book.

  From Darkspilvers thread:

  One brother I know well was "anointed" at Wallkill, while sitting at this desk, three or four years ago. He was in his early 50's at the time.

  Anointed at his desk. The poor cleaner.

  Does this mean Mr and Mrs Cook get upgraded to a penthouse suite like the Letts and the Morris's?
