excellent observation from zizek about communist regimes: they didn’t care if people accepted the ideology or took it seriously, so long as people acted as if the ideology was true, that was the important thing.
in fact the regimes were deeply suspicious people who took the ideology too seriously.
people who took the ideology seriously were dangerous because they were prone to noticing the inconsistencies and flaws in the system.
If the GB know that the religion can’t undergo scrutiny and survive, that means they must have a sense of the wrongness of the religion.
That means they don’t take it seriously on the apologist end of the spectrum. They aren’t true believers. If they were, then they would never suspect that there were any flaws at all and therefore would never think to warn anyone away from deep study.
Ray Franz took it seriously...
The current GB are just 100% liars and hypocrites. They are worse than believing apologists and apostates.
Just Lett ( see what I did there..) sink in...

at a recent midweek meeting, a short documentary about translator william tyndale was shown.
it begins with this statement about his death:.
"his crime?
Jesus didn’t say, “A good tree produces at least 75% fine fruit to offset the bad fruit. By the fact that they have a higher percentage of good fruit you will recognize them.”
Yet somehow that’s what JWs believe.. 🤔

...because high heels originated with the persian military!.

I would imagine that the GB hate it when a woman is taller than them, so it’s surprising that heels aren’t banned already.

If it’s public then it’s fair game.
Nicholas King is an excellent, living example of not only the hypocrisy, but of the rebranding of the WT.

the wtbts is not being given special room rates by 2 major hotels at the long beach convention center area for the upcoming 2020 regional conventions & wt is t'd off.
letters are being read in surrounding circuits and congregations.
apparently wt is afraid that other hotels are going to blackball them as well.. has anyone else heard this?
Haven’t heard of this, but I hope it’s a trend.
Imagine being a Dub, missing work to pay your own way to the Con-vention, and then paying even more to stay in a Hotel. And THEN.... you’re asked to cough up more donations...

u.s. supreme court rejects appeal by jehovah’s witnesses of 2015 california trial court ordersan diego, ca, october 24, 2019 --(pr.com)-- on october 7, 2019, the u.s. supreme court rejected the petition for writ of certiorari filed by the watchtower bible and tract society of new york, inc. (“watchtower”), requesting that the supreme court review a case filed by the zalkin law firm in 2013. in the case of jw v. watchtower bible and tract society of new york, inc. et.
al., the riverside superior court of california awarded the plaintiff, “j.w.,” a judgment of $4,016,152.39 plus interest at 10% per year after terminating watchtower’s defense, because it refused to obey the court’s order to produce files of known child molesters within the jw organization.
in 2018, the fourth district court of appeal in california upheld that decision.
They have missed decades of opportunities to cooperate. There’s no reason not to, UNLESS....you’ve got something to hide...like a GB Pedophile..
I wouldn’t be shocked to learn that only those who have had “Slumber/Pillow-Gate Party's” are in the running for GB.
