GB Not Providing Food-Helpers Write Articles

by TakeOffTheCrown in

why does the governing body depend on the helpers to write watchtower articles and the information in other publications?

why does the governing body not write these articles themselves?

they depend on the helpers to compose/write this information.

Brothers we don't need no stinking GB to write those articles it's in good hands: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/89486/franz-knorr-state-court-that-jehovah-editor-watchtower?page=1&size=10
in a 1943 court case, then Watchtower Vice-President Frederick Franz was asked the following:
Q: At any rate, Jehovah God is now the editor of the paper [Watchtower magazine], is that right?
Franz: He is today the editor of the paper.
Q: How long has He been editor of the paper?
Franz: Since its inception He has been guiding it.
Later, in the same court case, then Watchtower President Nathan Knorr was asked about the importance of the Watchtower magazine:
Q: In fact, it [Watchtower magazine] is set forth as God’s word, isn’t it?
Knorr: Yes, as His word.
Q: Without any qualification whatsoever?
Knorr: That is right.

Very interesting. Thanks for the link.

Why does the governing body depend on the helpers to write Watchtower articles and the information in other publications? Why does the Governing Body not write these articles themselves? They depend on the helpers to compose/write this information. Their whole claim, and only claim of being the Faithful and Discreet Slave is that they provide spiritual food at the proper time for the sheep. BUT, they do not write this information (this food) themselves. The helpers write it, and the GB will review it. Why does the Governing Body not write this information, this vital food for the sheep themselves? If they are the Faithful and Discreet Slave, and they have been anointed to speak for Jehovah himself, they are the ones who should be doing the writing; not the helpers. The helpers, for the the most part, are not anointed. How would they know what information Jehovah may want to convey to be the truth?

If the Governing Body want to be the ones tasked to convey information to the sheep from Jehovah, then they should write for themselves.

Do not delegate this most important task to a few non-anointed men. Yet, they are the ones providing the food to the sheep. A very heavy burden.

If you are the Faithful Slave, write for yourselves.

Why Is This New Batch of Governing Body Members So Stupid?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

well there are lots of reason for sure, denial, delusion, wishful thinking, ego maniac, infantile understanding of ancient writings, satanophobia, xenophobia, out of touch with reality, limited choices scrapping the bottom of the barrel,and many more.. listen to this ted talk and see if you can pick out something that helps explain why these guys are such ass holes:.

organizations are often run according to the superchicken model, where the value is placed on star employees who outperform others.

and yet, this isnt what drives the most high-achieving teams.

The current GB know they are faking it. They are faking their claim to be of the anointed. The previous members were not all fakers. Many honestly believed they were anointed and called by Christ as members of his body.

Such an honest belief brings with it an inner recognition of responsibility. But when it is faked no such responsibility exists. The current GB are simply enjoying the ride for the ride itself. Fakers to the core.

Well said.

Do you have a JW hero?

by Island Man in

when i say jw hero i mean a jw who courageously did what was right despite the indoctrination and peer pressure to conform to cultishness.

i have an unknown jw hero that i've never met but only heard of from an experience relayed to me about an incident at a jw funeral.. i was told that at a jw funeral internment, a non-jw put a wreath in the shape of a cross on the grave.

shortly thereafter a jw elder came up and removed the wreath.

Jehovah knows who you are.

the dawn bible students association has a problem.

ken fernets, when on the phone, shows his true colors to women who call.

he engages in flirtatious speech.

I believe that there is a War being fought in Jehovah's House; his House needs to be cleaned. Jehovah will clean his House. Try not to be swept along with it.

We Lost Our Preaching MOJO, how do we get it back?

by skepticSam in

does anyone have any theories why our territory that's be reduced six or seven times over the last twenty years is not covered anymore?

we use to cover our area in less than six months and now nobody really keeps track of how the preaching work by territory is going.

is the advent of the mobile-literature machine why we don't see a zealous preaching spirit?

We use to cover our area in less than Six Months and now nobody really keeps track of how the preaching work by territory is going. Is the advent of the mobile-literature machine why we don't see a zealous preaching spirit? Why are Witnesses not zealous anymore, are they burned out, have they lost sight of the prize?
Instead of working the territories to death, "we worked them to life" so why does it take over three years to complete our territory when we have three times the JWs living here? The sluggish slave won't make Jehovah's faithful slave happy, what are we going to do to get people motivated to preach more?

Because the preaching work is over? It appears to be over now.
