There is no way they believe their own bs, otherwise they wouldn't need to have the disfellowshipping whip ever at the ready. They teach fear, not love, so of course they don't believe in the nonsense they shovel.

Do the Governing Body believe their own teachings or know it's a lie? Are they atheists?
by BucketShopBill inthe new young blood gb member, you think he really thinks this is the truth or is he protecting his financial interest like all the older gb members who enjoy basking in glory of men?
do you think they believe in the "over-lapping generation" or was that a mistake done by barr?.
how much of the watchtower and the bible do the governing body know, ray franz jr. said he was not impressed with their bible knowledge and their lack of knowledge of the watchtower cannon.

by kneehighmiah inall throughout my life tuesdays were my meeting nights.
well tuesdays and thursdays to be more precise, when we had book study but book study was at my house so it wasn't terrible.

I don't even think about it any more, just happy to make my own choices about how to spend my off-work time.

Do You Think All JWs Believe Whatever Their Religion Teaches?
by minimus inthat same question applies to catholics, jews, islamists, baptists and so on.
.
just because you belong to a religion, does it mean you espouse every idea that they have ever presented?.

I think most jdubs go along because they really don't know how to live without the structural confines of the bOrg club. It's not important to them to understand--but they need to Belong.
