  yes, it's true, geoffrey jackson, the cleverest member of the governing body, is going apostate.. he's already written two scholarly books, the question is .... when is his third book going to be released!!.....

  desirousofchange: "faded" is definitely only an "apostate" term.

  i don't know of it being used by wt publications or "in the dark" jwsberrygerry: geoff jackson used it during the arc..

  darkspliver > And think about it - I mean when was the last time Geoffrey Jackson was featured on tv.jw.org ??

  Geoffrey, you've been under quite some pressure lately... err... maybe it's time for a long, long vacation.

  not playing their game, as i've learned here.

  they came to my door to find me with a full beard and a nightmare before christmas hoody, playing a video game where the characters "do not act according to bible principles", and i happily answered the door.

  i simply smiled and told them no when they asked if i have a minute.

  Always thought the witnesses were brilliant and unique regarding their understanding of that account, but as soon as I became a parent, I thought again and began to have some serious (but silent) doubts regarding that whole free will issue.

  I mean, with so much at stake (universal worship and peace and happiness)... why didn't Jehovah warn Adam and Eve the very second that the puffed up angel became satan the devil? Satan was a new kind of angel, the first of an evil, vicious kind, more intelligent than Adam & Eve and clearly with murderous intents. What parent, present and fully aware of everything taking place in such a specific situation of danger, would let his child undergo the death penalty only because he had warned clearly enough about that dangers in the past and knowing the child had understood the warning?

  How about prayers being used as a talk?

  another thread on here made me think of it.. its a personal peeve of mine.. you bow your head in prayer and the brother says thinks like thank you for the lessons we learned today like bla bla bla and for that wonderful point about yadda yadda yadda.

  jehovah we know that etc etc etc therefore we must...well you get the gist.and on and on it goes.

  absolutely drives me mad..

  There was always that inevitable moment when some elderly sisters in the hall began to sigh during such long prayers. A subtle stop sign that could be heard by almost anyone, exept by the one praying it seemed.

  What if one of the GB members suddenly needed blood?

  by StarTrekAngel in

  there is not much to be analyzed.

  in a cult enviromment the leader will always look up for himself.

  he would never hesitate to break every rule to save his own skin.

  They could take blood and call it "overlapping fractions".

  "The G.B. is neither inspired nor infallible"

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  that admission in the feb.17 ,study edition of the watchtower , " who is leading gods people today ?

  " "the governing body is neither inspired, nor infallible, therefore it (they/we) can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction .".

  have the many jehovahs witnesses past and present who have lost their lives by refusing blood transfusions due to the prohibition on blood tranfusions by jehovahs witnesses really got the sense of this statement ?.

  The Governing Body makes important decisions collectively. How so? The members meet weekly, which fosters close communication and unity. (Prov. 20:18) Each year, they rotate chairmanship at those meetings, since no member of the Governing Body is considered to be more important than the other members. (1 Pet. 5:1) Each of the six committees of the Governing Body rotate chairmanship in the same way.

  I know it's off topic, but this article contains a lot of interesting statements (therefore I printed it). For instance, doesn't this bold part indicate that Jackson's shameless and evasive statements before the ARC that certain policies from the GB are NOT his field, is utter bullshit? (something we already knew anyway, but always good to see the truth printed and written in the WT, right?).

  thank you, everybody here, for introducing me to this.

  no, no i had not heard of this.

  child abuse issues have been roundly dismissed as apostate attacks in the congregations i've attended in the last decade.

  Smiddy > You can just see kevin Bowditch waiting for the Holy spirit to put words in his mouth, { when hailed before governments and kings , Gods holy spirit will put words in your mouth }
  However no such words were forthcoming , His eyes looked like a deer caught in the headlights , and he was completely lost for words .

  Maybe Bowditch didn't make enough hours to receive some divine backing?
