The master plan?

by Honeybucket in

what do you thinkd the governing body's master plan is?

build a "vatican city" for jw in canada?

then plot to take over the world?

I think right now they must be worried that time is running out and the end isn't coming. Many Witnesses are tired and becoming disgruntled, so the GB will have to figure out how to keep them slaving on without giving up.

i have been around in this forum a lot but haven't written much yet.. also i had a more or less rude awakening when i realized that the religion i grew up with, the religion i sacrificed a lot for and considered to be the 'truth' is nothing but mere bs.

it's quite a brick to digest.. my parents both are jws, elder and pioneer.

very good people but also very brainwashed.

@Gefangene: I'm German as well. And no, I don't like Sauerkraut much, but it was the silliest name that I could think of when I registered and a hint to which country I live in. Nice to have you here.

The Governing Body - their own worst enemy!

by cedars in

i've been giving some thought recently to what's going on in the minds of the individual governing body members, and what makes them tick.

the process of listening to their talks for my "getting to know you" youtube video series, though draining, has been very enlightening.

i now feel i know some of their individual personalities a little better than i did previously.. then there has been the tumultuous events of 2012. it's been interesting to note the way the governing body has responded to some of these issues, and how in most cases their responses have been woefully inadequate or even counter-productive as regards their long-term interests.. for example:.

@raymond frantz: It's crazy, I was listening to/watching that exact video last night.
