I have a particular distaste for the word 'Class' in this context, it smacks too much of 'Judge' Ratherafraud and his attacks on people who did not support is ramblings - Olyin Moyle and Walter Salter for example who were branded as of 'This class' not to mention countless other poors souls. Then there were the unending other classes - Jonadab 'Class' Elijah 'Class', the Class 'Class'. I agree with the sentiments of truthseeker and I think that there is another sort of Witness as well. This one is in it for the power - where else could a no-body become powerful and hold sway over peoples lives. I have seen the most obnoxious little hitlers strutting their stuff at the KH putting the fear of God into people. These cretins have no Christain qualities but get there kicks from being overly righteous over much and spouting garbage from the stage (for that is what it is to them). The WTBTS will continue as long as there are people to buy-in to the ideology and people prepared to suspend intelligent thought and sell it. As one poster alluded, they are in it for the end result and are not too concerned about the where's and why-for's. It becomes a comfy home with a modicum of stability - they 'know' why they are here, where they are going and why the world is in its present state. They are not bothered about 607 or 589, they don't have a thought about 1914,1920,1925...75 et-al. They go out, proffer the 'mags' parrot an answer at the meetings go to the assemblies and lead a relativley ordered life. paradoxically, I used to wish I did not know about the JW's and was just an ordinary person and didn't have to do those things - why me, I would think. Sometimes, I now wish I did not know the the truth about the JW's and was just an ordinary dub again, so cosy, so comfy in my little world. Damn it brain, why did you have to start thinking mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm thinking DOH!
