Do you believe Jehovah's Witnesses' Governing Body is the "faithful slave"?
by Marvin Shilmer inthis question is known to be posed by jws to other jws as an acid test of loyalty.
i'm not the first to notice what i'm about to point out and comment accordingly, but today i felt compelled to add a short article on my blog highlighting the new language that governing body member geoffrey jackson supplies as a response.
a person who honestly hesitates to respond with a robust "yes!

The fact that Jackson couldn't/wouldn't/shouldn't answer with a simple "Yes" or "No" proves one thing: He is a coward.
Let's cut through all the bullshit and the theosophical rhetoric. Geoffrey Jackson is a duplicitous coward.
They're not the "Faithful and Discreet Slave" and he knows it.
Let's review: It's a cult!

Marvin Shilmer recommends replying with:
I agree with Governing Body member Geoffrey Jackson. The Governing Body views itself as trying to fulfill the role of the biblical 'faithful slave,' but it would be presumptuous to say the Governing Body is the only spokesperson that God is using. I don't see any sense in speculating beyond this. Do you?Brilliant!

Serious question about the Australian RC and the WTBTS.
by DATA-DOG ini have not been in a position to watch all of the interviews, so i'm sure that i missed a few things.
here is my question.
were either elders or ministerial servants accused of sexually abusing children, or were the accused just lowly r&f publishers or bible studies?

Thanks Londo for the summary.
So nearly 11% of the abusers were "appointed men".

If you were undeniably anointed with holy spirit what would you do?
by Splash inso you have had some kind of supernatural revelation, a personal message from god and some miraculous sign that you have been personally chosen by the almighty, what would you do?.
would you be the same as every other wt'ite, dragging yourself to the meetings, getting your 10 hours in each month, maybe pioneering?.
listen!

TR: You clearly did say it was a stupid subject to debate.
Good, you finally get it. What took you so long? Seriously!
Although I still have this suspicion that you missed the significance of the distinction between the words "discuss" and "debate." But whatever.
You seem to neither remember nor understand the meaning of your own words.

"I am Happy to be Controlled" - Edinburgh Elder on Cult Cart
by cofty inso my wife and i were up in edinburgh for the weekend for the international festival - we had a great weekend including going to see the military tattoo at the castle.. we were walking up the royal mile watching the street performers among hundreds of thousands of others from all over the world when i spotted the cult cart in it's usual spot being universally ignored.
feeling confident after my confrontation a couple of weeks ago we decided to go and have a chat with the two men.
i asked them if they were keeping up with the events in australia and proceeded to share lots of information with them.

Cult Care Elder: ... corrected his friend and said they must contact the branch.
Cult Care Elder: One of the elders responded the he "was happy to be controlled".
Cofty: I asked the elders if [his] 14 year old son ... came to him [in] a few years time and told him that he no longer wanted anything to do with the religion would he shun him. He said that he would.

Remember the two elderly sisters?
by John Aquila inabout a month ago i posted what had happened to two elderly sisters who were reprimanded by a couple of elders for crying because the jw broadcasting was going to be stopped at the kingdom hall and it was up to each publisher to learn how to use the internet.
if you recall the sisters got together with my mom and talked about it and it resulted in all of them declining to make meals for the pioneers.
here is the link.
