I don't think the elder was arrogant just out of touch with reality. These men are taught to follow procedure not common sense.

Sam Herd’s comment on the 2001 Dateline expose
by Londo111 inim going by memory, so not an exact quote...i believe this was around 2002, at the crownsville assembly hall (now sold from what i understand)..
he said basically: some people watch an hour show and give up the faith that theyve had for decades..
the impact of this show was like a canon being shot into a swimming pool.

Most JW's don't even watch the news or go in the Internet except for entertainment. These people have the heads so far up thier asses it's not funny -

DOES BELIEF IN THE BIBLE DESTROY ONE'S INTELLECTUAL CAPACITY?
by TerryWalstrom inbased on information to be found at: http://www.csicop.org/si/show/when_dont_the_highly_educated_believe_in_evolution_the_bible_believers_effe/.
the bible-believers effect.
those who believe the bible is the word of god (bible believers) and those who dont believe the bible is the word of god (bible nonbelievers) differ in their beliefs that humans evolved from earlier species of animals.

Hate to disagree with you calibinflorida but the Jews stole almost all thier beliefs from the nation's around them. For example in the writing of thier creation myth God created the shy and the earth was the original words not heaven. The concept of a place like heaven came from others so did the underworld gehenna etc. The book of the Dead also known as the coffin texts also know as the pyramid texts goes way back before any one ever heard of a Israelite. -

Like was mentioned above so much of Christianity was influenced by other religions. Read the book of the Dead, in it you'll find these similarities. One dies and his body goes to the underworld and his spirit to heaven or up by the stars. In the underworld the body goes through several triles and tribulations until the final test where by the persons heart is weighed against the goddess Maat feather. If ones heart is not pure they are eaten by a beast and are gone forever the second death. If thier heart is pure they rejoin with thier spirit and go to live in Paradise called the field of reeds. Now the Pharoah situation was a bit different because if he passed the tribulations he merges with the god Osiris which is doing the judging and finally he merges with his spirit and become one with the sun God RA and lives for eternity in heaven as the sun. See the similarities and notice how similar it is with what the JW's teach. I the GB think of themselves as kings and will go to heaven, just like the Pharoah. -

Just more proof that God's not backing them, because the borg has to make more changes and excuses. -
