Is the Governing Body EVIL or IGNORANT?
by cedars insome of you will have noticed that i've been paying a lot of attention to the governing body recently.
this is because most jehovah's witnesses venerate them collectively (even if they can't name them individually), and i feel this makes it important to understand this group of men properly and expose their mindset as individuals.
as the saying goes, i feel it's important to "know your enemy".. i realize it's very convenient to think of the governing body as being "evil" when we consider that they are ultimately responsible for all the damaging jw teachings and beliefs.

Ignorance is evil when is wilful, if you don’t have access to all the information, you are a prisoner, even mentally.

Close friend recently disfellowshipped.
by Emery injust recently i had a very close friend call to notify me of their future disfellowshipping.
i felt such sadnesss by their phone call as they seemed pretty shook up and were desperately pleading their repentance over the phone so i wouldn't think critically of them.
i immediately reassured that person that i still loved and cherished them greatly regardless of their status, i would be there whenever they needed me.

It seems she is searching for the truth, I wish her good luck. Truth seeking can be a very long journey and it is easy to get lost.
It is good to keep both feet on the ground and to stand for something.

Hi Emery, it depends how well you know this person and their circumstances, but if you really care about them, tell them TTATT, and save them all the anguish they are going through right now.
Listen in a non-judgemental way, and compare to them the way they were treated with the way Jesus treated his followers, and then keep adding other inconsistencies of the organization to future conversations. I am sure you wont run out of them.
I hope they don’t come back, and that they can make a good life for themselves out of this abusive/hypocritical/insane cult. The same for you.

Very disturbing.
Wouldn’t want to spend the night in Bethel, just in case.
There seems to be something rotten in Bethel.

do you believe in karma?
by SpiceItUp inwe have all heard the cliche' "what goes around comes around" but do you really believe it?.
i know this person that for many years has been unkind, devious and vengeful and then over more recent years has had bad luck everywhere they turned around.
i mean one thing after another.

Personally I want only good karma in my life. If somebody doesn’t mind bad karma in theirs that’s their business.
