CPiolo	Re: GB Admits It Has No Answers, Blood
	Maximus: Thanks for a well presented, succinct and logical post. Having never been a JW, the Watchtower's arguments very often ring hollow, and much of what they say is so because they say it so. This obviously is about power and control, power over people and control over their lives for whatever twisted reason they may have, be it genuine missplaced concern for others or simply for the ego and power trip those with power often succumb to. The sad thing is the rank and file members, like my wife, who blindly and obediently follow the tripe produced by the WT without ever giving it a second thought because they sincerely believe they are with "Jehovah's organization" and a part of "his people." Therefore, everthing published and preached from the platform is God-given truth for these very special people who have the good fortune of being a part of a greater cause, giving meaning to an otherwise ordinary life. May I ask you what removed your WT blinders? Was it a gradual thing, with a final straw breaking the Camel's back, so to speak, or one thing suddenly lifting the fog? You're obviously a highly intelligent man and I know you grew up in the organization and was curious. Peace and blessings, CPiolo The worst vice of the fanatic is his sincerity. -- Oscar Wilde
