Alan and Farkel comments have it dead on right:
Alan: jst2laws, Ray Franz feelings toward HIS Governing Body are irrelevant, since HIS was 1983 and YOUR comment is directed at today's. My comments were directed at today, 2002 governing body as well. So I think is most everyone's in this thread.
Farkel: jst2laws, you made your feelings clear in an earlier post concerning elder culpability--that elders were no more culpable than any other JW. That's what you basically said. I assume that's what you basically feel.
Why on earth would
YOU think the GB is any
more culpable than the elders? Why on earth would
I think the GB is any
less culpable than the elders? Duuuhhhhh...
If JW elders and ex-elders and overseers and ex-overseers want and need expiation for their crimes against humanity, they aren't going to get it from this board. Certainly no more so than the rest of us. Perhaps you should consider support groups for ex-elders/ministerials/overseers if you think they have such
special needs.
I feel the urge for another '
elders and culpability' thread coming on....
