The GB as JW celebrities (page 3)

Undercover, that is exactly how I viewed the GB. I just figured they were nothing more than annointed people who also happened to have to run the Org. My view on the annointed though was pretty skewed from an early age though, since most of the annointed in my Hall were certifiably pretty short of a full deck :P

It wasn't until I was in my pre-teens and then early teens that I realized how people revered them and when I started putting the pieces together of how insidiously ridiculous the whole thing is.

Panic, your experience makes me so mad. I can so imagine that very thing happening. How utterly disgusting. How people in the Org can sit there and see that and not feel just as disgusted is further proof of how brainwashed so many of them truly are =(

After reading all this....

I'm shocked that Bethel and Patterson don't have souvenir shops selling little clear plastic display cases filled with all the GB's excrement. The WT could make a non-prophet fortune if they marketed something like that to the individual KH's.

Ruby, your courage is incredible. I bet your story is, too, and I would love to hear it some time.

I have been to Brooklyn Bethel a number of times, and to the Stanley Theatre on a January 1st Assembly day once. If this truly is a worldwide work and "God is not impartial," then why are the GB mostly American (are they all American?) white men likely all from the New York area?

I am not Catholic by any stretch of the imagination; however, it greatly disturbed me how JWs criticize the Catholic faith for their view of the Pope. They dismiss how the Pope could be a representative of God. But, in their own nephotistic way, they say God communicates directly to the GB who, in turn, gives us the proper instruction through the anonymously-written literature.

Divine Authority went out with the Middle Ages. It took the Witnesses to bring it back.

Every yer without fail at the District Convention in Kansas City, there are Governing Body speakers. They are always treated like gods - even Losch who is a total prick in my opinion
