  Why is Ray Franz the only GB member to have ever resigned?

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  it's always seemed a bit odd to me that ray franz is the only gb member to have ever resigned, particularly for such a controversial religion.. we know from ray franz's books that there is often debate amongst the gb about new ideas sometimes introduced and often they are quite divided in their opinions.. i am not sure when the "governing body" officially began (wikipedia's explanation is messy) but it was quite a few decades ago.

  there have been dozens of members of the gb since it's creation (does anyone know the exact total number?).

  one would think that there would have been a few more disgruntled gb members over the years who would have resigned if the gb voted against some proposal they felt very strongly about.

  If memory serves that 50--70 thousand years ago would be in line with a huge volcanic eruption of Toba of Indonesia.

  that's right, today marks 4 years.

  but seriously though, 4 years is a good long while!.

  i can remember the day i first posted on this site... i was at the cusp of a thoroughly shattered faith, and i was in complete despair.

  Living in the western "rich" world we are spoiled and don't understand harships! Agree?

  just saw a documentary on bolivia how a woman gets up while it's dark, puts a barrel on her head and walks 10 miles to get water for the day from a filthy well we would not swim in!....thats what 1 billion or more people have to do everyday!

  they also scavenge for a hand full of rice or dirty flour...meanwhile, i buy 4 litre "springwater" and run down to the supermarket to pick what fruit, vegetables, meat, i want to eat today.. our kids want nike shoes and ps 3 while there kids need food and medicine.....and clean water!

  i jump in a nice car and complain about petrol prices, while they walk many miles a day to work and home......i think we are lucky but don't know it, just born on the good side of the world.. agree?.

  I never said there wasn't poverty in America. But I am saying it is relative. If you want to see the difference, go to Calcutta .

  You don't have to go that far, try Mexico.

  Awake! Suicide Bombers - the fastest way to spread the ministry?

  Awake! Extrasolar Planets, moving where the need is great.

  Awake! Tampons, are they really Satan's finger?

  Awake! Universities, what have they got that we can't teach you?

  Awake! The United Nations and the WT$, is the library big enough for both?

  Awake! Global Warming, is all the hot air coming from Brooklyn?

  Awake! Millions living will never die Knock Again!

  Exactly bohm,

  We all inherit our Mitochondrial genetic material from our mothers, more specifically the mothers egg cell mitochondria. The article I read several years ago traced the variation in mitochondrial genetic material into several major groups. The name of the article was The Seven Daughters of Eve.

  so last night i'm chatting with my wife about some things i had read on this site, when she dropped a bomb on me.

  see we have been attempting new non-jw friendships, to make our fade a little more bearable (in her case since she has so many jw friends).

  i have been trying to do this for her and told of a few i've found here, and on facebook.

  ....

  I didn't know you liked pina coladas and getting caught in the rain

  And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne.

  Or you liked making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape ...

  That's a great story IronHill & LoriJis.
