question: how are members of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses themselves, actually viewed by jehovah's witnesses today?.
well, the following related experience may help answer that provocative question, giving us a glimpse of what the possible future days will bring us.
yes, the answer to that question may even be quite shocking to us, ... with simply terrible, disastrous results!!!
That would be septapope

Yes, I know. You missed the tongue-in-cheek intent.

If you live in the rurals with no sewer service, do you have a septa tank?
so the mid week talk from the co is making me feel ill..... he is going on about all the wonderful adjustments in the org and teachings, and just how clear and understandable they are....and saying that these truths make us more convinced that we have the truth!.
and that all these changes are evidence of love for the people in our territory... the truth is now so much clearer and easier to understand..... oh come on!!!!!!!!.
aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!.

The WT has a history of being absolutely certain.....then eventually changing all their 'certainties' to something else. But each change is "proof" they are right. Stupid is as stupid does.

1922 "We have no doubt whatever in regard to the chronology relating to the dates of 1874, 1914, 1918, and 1925..." --- W 5/15/1922
they announced last week that the new atanta assembly hall has thus far raised 3.4 million dollars.
my local told that will become the society's come may 1. i wonder how that will go over with the ones who have been contributing to this fund..
@ sparrowdown: @ADCMS- correction, if I may sir, "Listen, pay, and be pissed!"
.
sparrow, it's a "privilege" to "donate" your hard-earned but meager janitor's pay to the multi-billion dollar real estate/publishing corp. known as WT. I thought you knew that. Why would a JW be "pissed" about being steamrolled to finance the I'm-always-short-of-cash god known as Jehovah™ ???
A JW janitor will gladly forfeit this weeks groceries so WT can build a bigger swimming pool in Warwick or pay off another pedophile victim. It's all for Jehovah™ and his hasn't-done squat-for-100-years Kingdom, right??

A friend related to me that a JW, after attending the Annual Meeting this year, said about the GB; "they practically walk on water".

There's a reason why they've been dubbed "Octopope" here (now SevenoPope with the recent demise of one Pope).

BACK in August, 1879, this magazine said: "‘Zion’s Watch Tower’ has, we believe, JEHOVAH for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg nor petition men for support. When He who says: ‘All the gold and silver of the mountains are mine,’ fails to provide necessary funds, we will understand it to be time to suspend the publication."

w87 12/1 p. 30:
"Unlike the churches of Christendom, Jehovah’s Witnesses do not take up collections or send out envelopes to solicit donations."
.
PROCLAIMERS BOOK chap. 21 p. 341 - "There are no emotional appeals for funds in their congregations or at their conventions......... Christians...........do not tithe, nor are they under obligation to give any other contribution of a specified amount or at a particular time." (Matt. 5:17; Rom. 7:6; Col. 2:13,14)"

BOE Letter, 3-29-14:
"...all congregations will have the opportunity to support Kingdom Hall and Assembly Hall construction worldwide by resolving to make a monthly donation from congregation funds.
....The elders in congregations currently making loan repayments would likely propose a resolution that is at least the same amount as the current monthly loan repayment
...determine the amount of the new resolution. This can be done by passing out slips of paper to be filled out anonymously by the publishers indicating how much they are able to contribute monthly
....If necessary, the elders may take a new financial survey, as described above, to determine whether the resolved monthly contribution
....The elders should determine what amounts from the congregation funds that are available at the end of the month will be applied toward the resolved monthly donation(s) and whether the shortfall should be made up in future months. However, it would be appropriate for the elders to remind the congregation of the resolved monthly commitments."

Kettle (WT), meet Pot (all the religions WT condemns)
sorry if it's already been discussed (i did do a search and did not see anything recent) here on the board.
now that 420 has been legalized in washington and colorado, what is the society's stance on this?
is it viewed the same as alcohol, taken in moderation?
The WT prefers crack cocaine. For evidence of this, please see W 7-15-13 and any recent BOE Letter.
i have been in the fading process for over a year now.
nobody has really bothered my wife and me since we've stopped, which i am thankful for.
recently, i've had an old jw friend send me a few text messages relating to business.
I don’t need any other facts.

This says quite clearly where your friend is at.
here are a couple suggestions for slogans:.
