  Are the GB very intelligent men with higher than average IQ? Or are they stupid men who were put in their position by sheer “LUCK”

  by John Aquila in

  are the governing body of the wt wickedly smart with extremely high iq or are they leaders of the wt because they were at the right place at the right time.

  (in other words, pure luck )-think lottery.

  ive seen them talk in jwtv and you can never convince anyone in the whole world that these guys are in the same category as someone smart or cunning like jim simons who founded renaissance technologies or bill gates.

  For most of the WT history someone on the GB had a very active roll in producing content. Russel, Rutherford, Fred Franz, Ray Franz were all prolific writers of propaganda content.

  I am not aware of any GB members today who are as actively involved in producing content and a primary reason for the recycled food and dumb down content IMO.
  

  For this reason I say they are dumber then previous members.

  For what they lack in writing ability and producing new spiritual content, they more than make up for in shrewedness.

  War-wick, What is it good for?

  The GB need a lake that they can drain with a push of the button, so they can prove to their followers that they have Jehovah's backing. .... like Moses did with parting the Red Sea.

  Had you thought of feeling sorry for the G.B?

  by The Rebel in

  2. friends

  i only bring this to the board, because a friend of mine once said he felt sorry for the footballers who made so much money.

  that comment stayed with me, and over the years,the more i thought about that comment the more i agreed with him.. i admit the g.b destroy people's life's and are the sublimation of all that's good in people's life.

  there only excuse is a fantazy asylum they claim to believe in.

  I do not feel sorry for them at all.

  A cult that is lead by a group of men who claim to speak for god and all must obey.... well that takes a conspiracy among those men, so they know what they are doing and deserve no pity.

  I'm a coward.

  since the move, it has been so enjoyable to not have jw's breathing down our necks asking why we didn't make the meeting, or having to pretend to be "spiritual" in front of family all the time.. 90% of my week is virtually stress free.

  then, my mom calls or texts wanting to talk to her grandkids.

  every dang call, she asks about the new congregation, if we went to the meeting, etc.. why can't i tell her to fk off?

  You are no coward. However, you should do your best to get the children out of the middle of the questioning.

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  definitely something going in the london bethel.. i thought i'd ask them again (and record it again) what the situation was regarding the new britain branch construction work.. i got the same sister (debbie) and here is how the conversation went: .

  me: i've been told that construction of the new branch has been stopped - is this true?.

  debbie: no, it has not ceased, it's carrying on as normal - can i ask where you're calling from?.

  If it can be proven that they did not clean up the land properly, they will have a whole host of future litigation against them for many who may get sick with cancer.

  What is the most bizarre counsel you received as a JW, from a JW?

  by Funchback in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there were many addressed to me.

  for example, i once had a sister tell me i was gambling because i liked playing skill crane (the machine where you have to try to pick up prizes like stuffed animals) at the arcade.

  i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.

  During a quick build an elder made me cover up my Nike swoosh logo on my shirt with duct tape.

  During any event that involved dancing an elder would run around the dance floor with a six inch ruler and make sure that anyone single was at least that far away from their dance partner.

  What I said to an Elder and the matter was dropped.

  by Simon Templar in

  2. experiences

  i decided to tell this small story.. about 25 years ago, we lived in a certain area in the usa and associated with the local congregation there.

  coincidently, one of the elders was the assistant congregation servant in a different kh and congregation which i grew up in.

  therefore, we knew one another well.

  Sounds to me like they were talking about using you in the congregation and this elder was making use of the holy spirit to give you a litmus test and see if he could bluff you into admitting to any sin that might disqualify you to become elder.

  i was feeling particularly hopeless about the whole jws being assholes thing and sick to death of pretending so ....

  i rang my sister and told her that i no longer believe jws have the truth and the phone went silent, when i asked her to say something she just said if that was the case then she would have to hang up on me and then proceeded to indeed hang up..

  so i texted her back immediately with fu..
