  You know it dawned on me that witnesses and indeed the GB love to highlight how Political leaders and groups can never be trusted to keep their promises, and often change their ideas, policies and platforms as time goes on...once they have already gained the power from the people.

  Hmmm.....sound familiar???

  This is blatant HYPOCRISY!

  The org has gained "power and control", then countless times failed to keep its "policies or promises or platform teachings" as time moves on. They even blame their followers at times!

  The difference here sadly is, unlike politicians, these guys cant be "voted out" by the people they have power over!

  Politicians can be voted out but they will simply be replaced by others who will act the same. Those who seek power in any field are those you can least trust for any reason.

  “The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.” ― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

  Politicians are very good at spin .Jehovah Witnesses , G.B. , are masters of spin .

  How many organisations rewrite their history like JW`s do and get away with it .

  To rewrite their history as they do is just plain lying .

  Any organisation worth their salt are proud of their historical background , Jehovah Witnesses are embarrased by their history and try to hide it .
