"Tony then rises from his spacious Brooklyn desk to pluck a bible from his sparsely populated bookshelf before reading 2 Chronicles 19:6. He uses this scripture to promise elders that Jehovah will be with them "in the matter of judgment." In other words, God will influence and/or endorse any decision they make, provided they’ve prayed and consulted the bible first."
-
If god directs their judgments, then why does a person have seven days to appeal the elders' decision?
-
"And those who insist this information should be kept confidential regardless of whether it is leaked or not will find no sympathy with me. The bible gives absolutely no precedent for secret information to only be circulated among a privileged few
The now rampant culture of secrecy and concealment that has been allowed to flourish in Watchtower’s murky gentlemen-only club over many decades is neither helpful nor laudable. It only serves to represent yet more evidence that Watchtower does not enjoy divine direction, nor can it ever hope to."

This is true...WT even agrees....but, of course, secrecy is only wrong when other religions do it:

"In view of such occurrences, is it any wonder that many people cast a wary eye in the direction of religious groups? Certainly no one would want to support a secret organization—religious or nonreligious—that misuses his trust and causes him to pursue goals with which he does not agree.
"Jehovah’s Witnesses are in no sense a secret society....True religion in no way practices secretiveness"

If the WTS is not a secretive religious organization why don't they put ALL the books and pieces of literature
the Watchtower Corporation ever published on to digital data so the public can openly read them for
themselves ? ? ?
.
They could release all those books etc. on their web site JWorg. available for the public and JW members to view.
.
The GB men today are aware those pieces of literature are now available on the inter-net, which are notably
packed full of lies, corruption and ignorance, thats why there are being more enforced to be obedient and
loyal to them.
I really think their own little Kingdom (power) could come crashing down around themselves, making them
somewhat subjectively paranoid and the other reason is because they want the public to read their recent
lies and self supporting propaganda.
.
Also they want to seek out any vocal dissenters who may have read the WTS. old publications and quickly place
a muzzle over their mouths and separate them away from the rest of the flock.

If this could get the interest of the media, perhaps people would be able to see through Watchtower PR and spin in regard this topic.

Note this subtle dig towards men in the congregation who probably qualify to serve as elders but are not appointed:
"In actuality, with the exception of being a husband of one wife, the scriptural qualifications for elders are being met quite successfully by many faithful sisters."
The GB certainly would not want to say that many men also qualify to serve but have chosen not to. It's an underhanded tactic to marginalize men who don't want to be politicians and GB suck-ups, so they choose to stay out of the game.

Well, there's the rub, as they say.
To the 99.9% of the world who are not JWs or ex-JWs, the writings of the GB blowhards, the Watchtower PR tactics, the shunning, the blood policy...all of it is less significant than the number of rushing yards gained by the 3rd string Harvard fullback in 1952.
No one who is not a JW / ex-JW gives a flying doughnut about idiot elders and unjust judicial committees, or GB orders to be even more harsh and cruel.
