with the jw crazy new light, they must now believe that only 20-30 men in the whole history of mankind fill that role.
rutherford would be first, then knorr.
after them there were what eighteen on the gb?
No I totally get it Sherry.
These guys think they're so special that God's Son, Jesus Christ, second most powerful person in the universe sat his apostles down to tell them about a couple dozen men in Brooklyn that would show up in 2000 years or so.
That's not far-fetched at all.
how would the watchtower of july 15th read if the watchtower was written in 1st person from the ones allegedly preparing an dispensing spiritual food (ie the watchtower)?
why is it written by a faceless 3rd person telling readers what to think about the people who are allegedly dispensing the very material i'm reading?
i was reading the july 15th article and laughed at the ridiculousness of it all.. .
Yeah it gets even harder to swallow.

Good points.
"think they are written RIGHT into the Bible"
Scary when you think about how few actual men they claim the "faithful slave" refers to now.
It was discussed on another thread, but I think it's just a couple dozen men total. So a couple dozen men or so from an organization that spun off from the adventists were mentioned in scripture by God's Son?! and almost 2000 yrs ago?!
Combine that with their lower case governing body of the first century and the God-like capitilizing of themselves today as the Governing Body.
Is there any limit to their egos?
does the wtbts of transylvania have a paid clergy?.
but do they lie about it and claim otherwise?
here are some of their falsehoods, imitating "the father of the lie" and his deceptive practices, to blind people's minds:.
good one shirley
nhah,
I agree. The suffering and servitude starts pretty quick down the pyramid.
I don't know about DO's, but the life of a CO in a poor circuit isn't that great. I have seen CO apartments that I wouldn't live in. Block walls, prob 500 square ft, and in crappy neighborhoods. That isn't the norm, but they are out there across middle america and the deep south. The free meals sometimes suck and despite the "spiritual paradise" some of the homes of the poorer dubs (where they get fed) are less than sanitary.
I know some have it good in wealthier circuits, but it's a crap shoot.
I just read the Walsh trial stuff again, so I'm fuming over the little napoleans at the top right now.

I think the point is that the GB have their
Now they have to be "on" all the time. Tough to be a celebrity you know.
My main beef is this - they are constantly making decisions (doctrine, policy, etc) with a huge bias towards maintaining this lifestyle.
It's like Ray Franz said in his book. Large organizations and institutions always make decisions based on what's best for the organization or what will feed it and make it larger. The men at the top derive all their power/influence/prestige/livelihood from the organism/organization. They will always choose organization over individual. Right or wrong.
Now while that may just be "life" or typical human nature, other organizations/institutions do not claim to be the only representation of God in all the earth. They are not telling you that you deserve death for disagreeing with the biased decisions. They also do not threaten extortion through taking away your family and friends if you voice a differing opinion.
Their policies are transparently self-serving at best if not criminally sadistic.

They are crooks doubling down.
They have long long ago 'sold out'.
In their minds they have nothing to lose.
Whether they are actually deluded enough to think they are crooks for God, who knows.
I will say this though - a few billion on the asset sheet and a quick-trigger d'f policy is enough to make 8 old men ballsy.

Yes Blondie, for sure.
I thought the same very thing while the study was taking place.
Where are the examples? Pretty damning accusations to have no cited references.
They simply wanted to paint with an insanely broad brush that all stories about the borg are 'bad'.
It's the equivalent of childish name-calling on a playground.
They must be scared to death about what's coming.

HOAXES, scams, and deception
and
Satan the Devil is an accomplished deceiver
and
increased duplicity
and
Misleading statements
and
outright lies
and
propagate untruths
and
such lies
All from the first two paragraphs describing what they say is "sometimesfeatured in the media." (italics mine)
Sounds like a damning to hell to me. Certainly doesn't sound like a mere warning about what may sometimes happen.

We had a sister yesterday comment during the watchtower lesson and say:
"...and that's why we can't believe anything in the media about the organization."
I was thnking, "Ding Ding Ding we have a winner!"
That is precisely what the GB wanted the R&F to take away from this lesson. What other conclusion could the sheeple come to with words like:
HOAXES, scams, and deception...
are the opening words of the article ! (got to love them putting HOAXES in all caps)
has anyone ever thought of copying & pastings all the comments & topics from this site...to see what folks are really thinking.
delete names.
wonder how that would effect them, to know, folks are sitting there & not really believing all the stuff they say.
Have you seen this week's WT study?
They know.
