I had a secret conversation with a dyed in the wool JW recently.
They told me that they felt that the organisation now was a different religion to the 'good old days' when Knorr was the boss. The books were more interesting. The zeal was there. Now the governing body are coming to the fore and promoting themselves. They are begging for money. the cartoons are just plain silly.
That was their feelings in a nutshell.
I think that the GB have done themselves no favours in coming to the fore in the way that they have. I remember the days when we didn't really know which weirdos were in charge. Until recently, a lot of JWs I knew didn't really know who the GB were, even though they promoted themselves in the litter-trash. The mystique has gone.
The lunatics have taken over the a$$ylum ages ago, but now it's obvious.
I have said this again and I'll say it before.....with all the changes in the org, they will only have a certain type of zombie left. I know of one who will stay in the filthy, disgusting cult because they chose to join it and now just coast along not really noticing the changes. I feel sorry for this person and the argument 'well, at least they're happy,' doesn't cut it. what if they need a blood transfusion or need to buy an ice cream??
