Some years ago, I heard from an ex-CO who left the borg after the 1980 fallout that Frederick Franz was extremely outspoken on the subject of gluttony, obesity and staying fit. He frequently took the stairs instead of the elevator and asked others to do the same as much as possible. Also, whenever the opportunity presented itself, he would also call out bethelites on their eating habits if he noticed even a hint of body fat on them. Given the information on page 67 of Shepherd the Flock of God (2010), which Governing Body members would Freddy Franz have removed from the GB right now if he were still alive today? I’m thinking that Samuel Herd would be the first to go. Possibly even Gerrit Losch and Jeoffrey Jackson… What say you?

New Light on the GB's new elite status still NOT AVAILABLE on JW.org in other languages (8 days later)
by Calebs Airplane inso far, available in english only... i guess there is a lead time for the interpreters.... this presents an opportunity for those who attend non-english congregations to ask their jw friends important questions on this subject, have them research the wt cd and then present this new light as a "possibility".... for example, you can ask them questions like:.
what would you say if i told you that the governing body no longer represents the annointed (a.k.a the fds)?what would you say if i told you that charles taze russell is no longer considered a part of the faithful & discreet slave?what would you say if i told you that, even though the publications say the fds started in 33, they have only been around for 94 years?i'm pretty sure you will be viewed as an apostate... until this news on the annual meeting shows up in their language.
just a thought.... .

11 days later... still nothing in other languages...
In South America, The Faithful & Discreet Slave = All the annointed on earth represented by the Governing Body
In North America, The Faithful & Discreet Slave = The Governing Body
From a insider's perspective, it could be said that over 6 million JWs are currently spreading lies about the FDS while less than 1 million JWs are spreading the "Present Truth" about the FDS. Maybe the interpreters are still in shock and simply can't find the appropriate words to put into print... It happened when Steve hit Selma... remember that thread?

WT Elders school: Look how cute that kindly old elder is! Too bad the Talmud says we have to stone our victim anyway
by sir82 inmore haphazard thougths on the recently concluded elder school..... a big chunk of time was spent on a video which traced a judicial case, all the way from the confession to the elders through the decision to disfellowship the guy.. here is a very brief synopsis of the video:.
tearful late-teen or early-20's publisher confesses to 2 elders that he committed fornication with a "worldly girl" who is now preganant and wants to marry him.
the elders give him some "homework" to do prior to his judcial committee - read psalm 51 and an old wt article.

So the kindly old elder was following Jesus' example (showing love and compassion) but was overturned by two elders who followed the Pharisees' example (who clinged to traditions and rules of men)?
Why did this NOT raise a flag with anyone in that meeting (except Sir82)?
Unbelievable!

Here’s the latest Google Maps image…
New Governing Body Country Club in Warwick
…but it could be over a year old. There were some existing buildings there already… from a paper plant I believe? Anyway’s, Google already labeled it as the official World Headquarters…

BREAKING NEWS: Watchtower's Charitable Status UNDER THREAT in Britain !
by raymond frantz inthere is an article today in daily mail one of the largest uk newspapers about the plymouth brethren that should worry every thinking jehovah's witness.. the charities commision in britain is threatening the charitable status of a small offshoot of the aglican church the plymouth brethren .the reason ?
they don't perform enough charitable work for their local community .
at a time where the tax avoidance of large businesses such as google ,ebay,amazon and starbucks is under serious question in britain ,the charities commision's investigation into this little church's charitable status comes as no surprise .the 2006 charities act forced charities, often at high cost, to 'demonstrate' value to society .so far being a christian church automatically exempt you off taxes ,this is not the case anymore .
