PHIZZY- I agree with you. It IS pure evil on the part of WT Society leaders to promise " eternal life " but don't deliver. It IS messing with 8 million people's lives in which they waste the best years of their lives on a pipedream. Very sad. Mind control and illusion is STRONG like you say in the JW cult.
FINKELSTEIN- Good points. WT leaders have ALWAYS held themselves up as MUCH more important than rank & file JW's. I mean they're supposed to " rule in heaven with Christ you know " ? Yeah, right, Not. As I have stated before they ARE legends in their own minds desperately holding onto crazy, illusionary teachings to keep consolidating and maintaining power and control over 8 million JW's, pretty sick stuff.
SEPERATION of POWERS- Exactly. Good point. The GB and WT leaders are benefitting heavily by the illusionary WT teachings living like pampered elite and kings. While most JW's work at normal jobs and have to pay their own bills
