Gopher	Re: If the G.B. and WTS don't have good motives, what is the point.....
	if you were in a position like that which you mentioned, don't you think you would change the things you know to be wrong. If "I" were in the position -- like on the Governing Body? They can only change things through a 2/3 vote. One person cannot change things there. They've left plenty of wromg things in place for too long, and they continue to do so. Up until the 1970s they didn't allow community service for its members who conscientiously objected to military service. So a lot of its young men spent years unnecessarily rotting in jails. They didn't fix their affiliation with the United Nations (as a non-governmental organization) until it was exposed on this website and in the UK newspaper "The Guardian". They still haven't fixed the corrupt "two witness" rule as applied to child molestors in the organization, leading to thousands of known molestors having a safe haven in the organization. There are many more examples.  I mean, the recent changes on just about everything being left up to our individual consciences, is a huge step PLEASE -- do spell out what "recent changes" you refer to. Last I heard, the WTS leadership was still working hard on making and enforcing more and more specific rules on how rank-and-file JW's were to live life. When I was a child, there was a large "grey area" where people could make their own decisions. Starting in the early 1980's, all I heard was that the "brothers" were taking liberties in the grey areas and that the grey area was narrowing.
