    Listen @ 28:45. Speaker says that:

    JEHOVAH'S ENTIRE CHANNEL = GOVERNING BODY

    Don't we learn that Jehovah's channel is the FDS?

    This post saddens me. I am from the same general part of Ohio and know this Kenneth Cunningham all too well. He visited my wife's congregation in 2010 (abt March or April) after a hard winter when the hourly average dropped below a certain threshold (about 6 or 7 hours per publisher, not counting pioneers). He have a talk to get them to get more hours. It is the ONLY time I have ever seen a JW speaker pound the pulpit. I mean he literally pounded the podium with his open hand, loud enough to hear from the back row without amplification, all the while saying things like "Some witnesses are taking it too easy", "Some think that 3-4 hours a month will save them", etc. It made me sick.

    What is really saddening though, is that about 3 weeks after he left one of the ministerial servants killed himself. I'm sure he had other problems, but the point is that Cunningham's incessant browbeating did NOTHING to assist or build up a distressed soul who had bouts of depression. Meanwhile this mean-spirited CO goes his merry way and thinks he is serving God. A wife is left without a husband and two children without a dad. I believe that this Cunningham is partly responsible.

    If he gave the same talk here this past visit, I do not know, as I made a point not to attend.

    Ken Cunningham? we had a CO by this name here in MA about 10 years ago maybe a little longer. He was the worst CO ever! He was angered that our KH had low meeting attendence (we had a large elderly & inferm group), so from the platform he says "there is only one reason to miss a meeting, you must be at a funeral", then he says "and it must be you own!" He angered all the elderly in our hall and one elderly lady who was known to speak her mind says out loud "that is disgusting". LOL

    Wonder if this is the same guy?

    This is a common theme amongst high control groups like JWs and it's very sad. Here's some poor guy suffering from depression already and then some asswipe who doesn't even work himself comes along and makes you feel a thousand times worse and not "worthy" enough to be in the 'truth' and they end up killing themselves. Maybe they need to replace the signs they have up near the platform with:

    Did anyone hear Cunningham's description of GB.

    He said that the"annointed" was like a huge ship...and the rudder is the GB"

    Then he quoted matt24:45 ... as "who really is the RUDDER?"

    "who really is the faithful & discrete slave channel?"

    He said some disturbed people write letters to gb to explain that they were wrong, he said they had schizophrenia!!!!

    And if you write letters to gb he says "that makes you a rudder" (trying to be?)

    Hard to keep listening .......uuuugggggg.
