We all have seen plenty of WTS statements like this: "How grateful we should be that Jehovah has provided us with a faithful and discreet slave class to provide us food at the proper time!"
Suppose instead they had written it this way: "How grateful you should be that Jehovah has put us in charge of you to tell you what to think and how to behave!"
Yet that's exactly what they mean!
Someone once said, "The sheep's clothing of the false prophets is their vocabulary."
By creating the illusion that there is an entity ("God's organization") that's different than themselves, these men appear humble and escape personal responsibility for the consequences of the dictatorial control they exercise.
It's not a small group of men in Brooklyn who run JWs' lives.
No, no, no, it's "Jehovah's theocratic organization," it's the "faithful and discreet slave."
I'm not a Roman Catholic by any means, but at least the Catholic church tells us who the Pope is.
How many JWs know or care about the names of the members of the Governing Body that wields such incredible power and control over their lives?
How many JWs know anything at all about the men who control every aspect of their lives?
They assume they are godly people chosen by Jehovah to shepherd his kingdom on earth.
How do they know this?
Why, because the Watchtower publications tell them so over and over.
And who is responsible for everything the Watchtower says?
This same group of men!
But these men are very humble.
How do we know?
They have told us so in the Watchtower, over and over.
They don't want their names mentioned.
Let's see.
They don't want publicity.
They don't want public scrutiny of their own lives.
They won't show us their credentials for translating the Bible from Hebrew and Greek.
They won't sign their own names to any of the articles they write.
If they did, the illusion of a great, anonymously run, independently existing theocratic organization would be gone.
THINK, JWs. THINK!
