You are a fool. That is a very awesome talk. He does not just do a karaoke of an outline, He makes it alive with illustrations and experiences. I do not see why you all focus on the governing body. The best talk of the convention is the last talk of Saturday afternoon's symposium. It is called "Do not follow Satan". The point is stated that one does not have the right to tell another how to live one's life. And not to meddle. Good lesson for you all. That is what the Bible teaches and that is what the GB teaches. Stop focusing on the GB. They simply oversee the worldwide congregation. (If it is not a congregational matter, then they don't oversee it)
Correct, one does not have the right to tell another how to live their life. So why does the GB place rules that do just that to its members, with the threat of being shunned if one doesn't comply? Stop focusing on the GB? That is precisely who the members get their direction from. They oversee the worldwide cong and make the directives that each member must follow.
On what basis do you say that they are "Jehovah's people"? Please answer this.
