below is a statement from gb member gerrit losch.

Thanks!
Raymond,
Thanks for the student/ teacher anology. Of course it makes sense. I know the GB are wrong, I was trying to realize if they had ANY legitimate grounds for their claim. Seems like the same old lies to people who are not allowed to study greek.
Leolaia,
I will have to read your comment a few times. It is way over this farmboy's head.
Bobcat,
Your comment is much appreciated as well. I will be reading it again too.
i was just on the new jw.org site and i have to say, they've done a good job.
it looks pretty sleek and is easy to navigate.
the production values of their magazines (in particular the photos) seems to have improved since i last spent much time on the site.
What it the guy watching for a fire appoints himself Mayor of the town? Since he cried wolf year after year, a good hearted member of the town brings it to his attention. He then executes the one bringing his mistakes to light. THAT IS MORE LIKE THE GB. We are infallible, the Bible is God's word but you cannot understand it without the Watchtower which is God's thoughts. You must believe us when we cry wolf or face the consequences. Remember the Walsh trial.

Below is a statement from GB member Gerrit Losch. Notice what is said about the FDS. Is this true? If not, why not? I will be off work soon and will try to check into this.
Gerrit Losch- Which Channel Is Jehovah Using?Mt 24:45-47 and Lu 12, uses the definite article 'ho' with reference to F&DS. Therefore is composite and does not apply to individual anointed ones nor to GC. Other references in bible refer to individuals being slaves and stewards, but not THE slave/steward. Old thought was that F&DS were anointed at any given time from 33CE to now. However through the middle ages, no distinct knowledge as to who they were. Also because at 33 there were no GC we believed the 'domestics' had to be individual anointed. Is the F&DS 1900 yrs old? No! [The lecture to Gilead and branch schools about this has now been deleted]. When you look at the context of Matt 24 all the events described are in the last days and the GT. The 'coming' referred to is the GT. Hence the F&DS only appeared and was appointed as such in the last days!

Good comments, this article/study issues totally sucks in many ways.
MAC,
THANK YOU for putting that together! It really helps seeing it all laid out like that. The problem with trying to reason with a JW is that EVERYTHING they read is confusing. They cannot explain what they believe without WT literature. There is no reasoning with them, unless the eyes are opened somehow. I know if I try to raise a point with my wife the defenses go up. The conversation goes downhill because I get confused trying to explain what circular reasoning is just to disprove it!! It's maddening at times.
00DAD,
Thanks for the pictures. It is really sad when you think about it. That couple is on the " Paradise Bus " that Siam wrote about. They will be getting off soon when drivers are switched and the trash is dumped. What that article is saying with those pics, without saying it, is , " You never thought you would get old, but you did. Keep following the GB till the end of your life. We don't know when the end will be, but you probably won't see it. By the way, thanks for all your financial contributions, and for willing us your property.".

By Genius do you mean that I am only good at one thing, but can't pick out my own socks? If so, the answer is NO. I believe genius is thrown around as much as the word apostate, and applies just about as often.
the northern california circuit overseers been making announcements at circuit assemblies for sisters to be extra careful when shopping and out and about..."remember we are surrounded by satan's system.
" this has been been in reference to a young sister who went missing in the portland or area.
well now the whole story is comming out...she wasn't a victim of "the outsiders"...it was her "spiritual brother" who raped and murdered her.
Is Jonathan Holt allowed visitors yet? Wouldn't it be great in a journalist in Oregon would interview him about his life inside the Organization.? He has to pay for his crimes, but this chilp-porn issue doesn't come about by chance. You don't wake up one day and decide to seek out child-porn. As already mentioned you just don't wake up and rape and kill your neighbor either. If the Elders had knowledge of his issues and knew he was dangerous, yet did not warn the Congregation then they share the blame for Whitneys death. If that was my daughter who was killed by someone who was a known danger, I would rain Hell down upon them.
Once the smoke clears and the trial is over, Jonathan will want to talk to someone.
