Perhaps someone close to the Governing Body suddenly needed an Organ Transplant, resulting in a very convinient change in doctrine (new light).

Why do you think they changed their mind on organ transplants?
by Separation of Powers infrom 1967 to early 1980, the watchtower stated that organ transplants were tantamount to "cannibalism.
" then, suddenly, the position was changed to organ transplants being a "conscience matter.
" so, my question, why the change?

Do Witnesses Have Any Aspirations Anymore?
by minimus inwhen i was a kid, my family wanted me to reach out for any type of "privilege", whether it be cleaning the rest room or being an attendant.
obviously, reaching out to be a ministerial servant and elder were high on the list.. since college was a no no, we were to aspire to be something within the congregation.. i wonder if anyone aspires to be anything in the organization, at this point in time..

I think the aspirations of the publishers are purely mandated by the governing body's unreasonable expectations. For instance, publishers are pressured to be baptized, baptized publishers are pressured to pioneer, pioneers are pressured to elevate to bethelites or "need greaters," etc.
Sadly, it creates a culture of it's members feeling as if they are never doing enough.
In fact, upon my return from volunteering at Bethel, I was ostracized by my elders for not serving "long enough." Where most other organizations provide praise for the efforts of their members, Watchtower scorns is members with "that's not good enough, you could have done more for us."
