I don't believe they have money. They probably don't care about that. What they have is POWER. Looking from the outside this generation of GB seems to be lording their power over the flock more than past generations. Some of them are probably truly genuine and nice people. Just clueless. Others are probably total pricks.

Governing Body at Bethel and their daily routine
by Tenacious ini never had the privilege to serve at bethel .. therefore, community help is greatly appreciated friends.. do the gb members have their own living quarters separate from the average jw?.
does their "busy" schedule permit field service, if yes, how many hours a month?.
how long are their weekly wednesday meetings?.

2nd and 3rd Genners -- Did the passing of the 1st/2nd Gen. cause doubts for you?
by Apognophos ini can't discuss my family history here in detail while i'm still fading, but suffice to say that i'm a third-generation witness.
my grandparents' generation of witnesses expected the end to come in the middle of the 20th century.
they led spartan lives and largely went without having kids, as they awaited the imminent new system.

It's an interesting question to think about. A lot of us are actually fourth and fifth genners already.

We camp, go to movies, enjoy a good meal out with friends , nice vacations, enjoy a good drink, etc... A dub can be boring but so can anyone else. Up to the individual. I think that if someone is a boring dub they will most likely be a boring ex-dub

These stories break my heart. It's good for me to read it. It reinforces how awful the effects of the organization that I am still in can be.

life after the wtbts
by Hortensia inyou can't move forward to a new, more interesting, possibly much happier life, if you're still looking behind at the former life.. there is so much obsession on here about what the wtbts is doing, and discussing all the forms of injustice and bullshit in the wtbts, or how to bring down the wtbts.
yes, their doctrines are crazy and they are a cult and cruel to boot.
move on.

Why do ultra rich jehovahs witnesses get a free pass when it comes to being materialistic?
by hoser ini know a couple of jws in my town that are both very wealthy.
one has upscale retail stores and owns a property development company.
the other has a large service company and owns a lot of real estate.

I have many problems with the Borg. But some elders being rich is definitly not one of them. Good for them.

I would recommend just enjoying the time with him and your family. Waking someone up is so difficult, unless they are ready. If he is going to bethel he is fully indoctrinated. Hopefully a little life experience will start to wake him up. Bethel is a very easy place to lose your spirituality at. lots of drinking and not all bethelites are good association.

This religion is about to be toast.
by kneehighmiah inthe governing body is preparing to take a major hit.
this recent watchtower shows it.
not the new understandings, but the article on marriage.

In order to survive the Borg has to be able to attract normal middle class families. I know of none in the past 15 years that picked it up. Maybe a couple. But no families. Unless they do, each successive generation of born ins seems to get less resolute in their stand for the Borg. It will be a slow death.
