I don't believe there is any mastermind running the show at the moment. The organization seems to be running on autopilot, with a bunch of really stuping (sincerely or not) men performing cabin servise while they rely on the Holy Spirit to pilot the airplane. I am certain that there is an army of cleverly cunning business minded people within the org who take advantage of the breathtaking incompetence that's omnipresent in the organization. I used to know a brother who supplied the New York bethel with some equipment. He used to brag that Watchtower is his largest customer and he makes good profit on the business with them although he found the incomptence of the staff he was dealing with quite mesmerizing.

"Following his victory at the Battle of Trafalgar, Horatio Nelson's body was preserved in a cask of brandy, or rum, to allow transport back to England. ... The pickled body was removed and, upon inspection, it was discovered that the sailors had drilled a hole in the bottom of the cask and drunk all the brandy/rum." - given the choice, the Judge might have opted for pickling insted of burrying.

It is now 2003.... Where is Armageddon?
by Nosferatu ini find it extremely amusing how each year is passing without armageddon.
"for the year 2000, i visualize a world transformed into a beautiful paradise!
but i don't think that either the present world or its rulers will live to see that day.. we are living in the last days of the system of things.

Thank you ever so much for sharing Giordano! I appreciate your balanced attitude. I am currently "Personally on the way Out - Mentally completely Out" and find it very hard to manage the process of separating from the organization without causing more trouble than it's worth. Unfortunately, I brought my entire family into the "truth" when I was in my early 20s and then married a girl who is a 3rd generation JW. I feel like I learned a lot today, thank you, brother!

Elder to visit me this Saturday to invite for the memorial
by EverApostate injust a brief history of me.
me and my wife got baptized into the jw cult in 1997. we were both protestants before and in fact it was me who dragged her into the cult.
during 2009, another jw friend of mine raised suspicions about his research on the blood and 607 bc theories.

It's interesting how a conversation with JW elders is always a one way "discussion". I find that even with my father in law, who is otherwise a very humble and reasonable man. He will not allow himself to even just give a consideration to any information or thought that has not come through the "channel" for fear that it would be disloyal to his heavenly father JHVH and mother - The Organization. I wonder how many other elders keep themselves willingly in such a mental jail.

Pioneer School scare tactics
by neat blue dog ini just talked with a pioneer who came back from school and she said that at the end there was emphasis put on two things.. 1: stay loyal to the governing body and their teachings.. 2: beware of propaganda.
they said that in wartime the enemy will use propaganda to break the spirit of or confuse the troops.
they said the same things is happening now, so reject negative reports about the organization.. this pioneer (who is fully pimi btw and enthusiastic about it) said she asked her cotboe about if we really have that problem here.
