Sorry, must have got my wires crossed.I will be looking into the rest of the GB as soon as I've looked into Russell in a bit more depth. It's amazing to find out the beliefs these people had, I mean you hear about them very briefly but when you start looking into it yourself it's really fascinating. It really opens your eyes regarding this squeaky-clean image of an organisation that they so sadly try to portray. Also, I’ve heard that the structure of this organisation has changed dramatically at some point with the GB.This doesn't surprise me. I think the image of the organisation and the propaganda status of it has been taken way to far. They've always claimed divine inspiration or should I carefully word that 'guidance' which in my opinion is very wrong. Old timer JW's know their bible more often than not, and some knew when to choose to ignore the GB, why they stayed I can’t understand [way of life, family etc I suppose] while the new breed don't know shit but go along with whatever they're told and are manipulated and brainwashed into following the ideas of the GB.They have been lied to and deceived for the organisations own twisted view that they are doing a 'sifting work'. Gimme a break..a sifting work. Also, they scare their members into submission through fear and guilt and are so caught up in the technicalities of the bible that they miss its true meaning [sound like anyone?]. Take the ever-changing stance on blood. It is rediculas that the WTBTS is getting so bogged down by such techniqual teachings; its followers often don’t know what to believe, it’s policies change from one moment to the next, but they leave it up to the GB, wide open mouthed, to feed them like children with no thought process of there own [even the hardcore-know their bible JW’s fall for this one]. And it has serious implications as people die as a result! I wonder what Jesus would make of this society if he existed today?
