  August 1980 Kingdom Ministry about Apostasy & Franz resignation

  i was sorting some papers tonight and came across a copy of the august 1980 km which announced the "apostasy against the organization" (a letter from the governing body) and has the notification that raymond franz was no longer a member of the governing body and bethel family.

  i remember reading this just as i was making plans to disassociate myself at the same time.

  this copy of the km was in some papers that belonged to my mother-in-law (who passed away several years ago).

  Not that I know of.

  BUT the Org is returning to THEM!

  The 2012 teaching that only the Governing Body represents the Slave was described in 1981 as an apostate concept.

  Watchtower 1981 Mar 1 pp.24-26

  "Witnesses of Jehovah understand that the "slave" is comprised of all anointed Christians as a group on earth at any given time during the 19 centuries since Pentecost. Accordingly, the "domestics" are these followers of Christ as individuals.

  Some readers may feel that this is a rather sectarian view of matters. Or they may object to the idea that the "slave" and the "domestics" represent the same class, one as a composite body and the other as individuals. The objectors may argue that not all of Christ's anointed disciples have a share in preparing the spiritual food, so that perhaps the "slave" pictures only the leading ones, and the "domestics" those they serve in the congregation.

  There is no point in trying to force an interpretation of the parable. Self-deception is of no benefit and is spiritually damaging. Therefore, we must look to the Scriptures for an understanding. In doing this, what do we find? [ ... ] Thus we see a clear Scriptural basis for saying that all anointed followers of Christ Jesus make up God's "servant," with Jesus as its Master."

  is this supposed to placate the ones who have been recently fired?

  is this a sign of the aging jw leadership?

  Return to Jehovah! , They said. Prodigal Son, they said. Loving Shepherds, they said.

  Ok, thats enough.

  To answer OP's question, They actually broke their own rules. Shepherd the Flock of God a.k.a. ks10 pg 118

  Even if the committee feels that it is much too soon to consider reinstatement, two members of the committee should acknowledge receipt of the request and briefly inform the disfellowshipped one that more time must pass. Written requests for reinstatement should be responded to promptly.

  I remember Episcopo from his powerful DC talks back in the nineties. He was such a pillar in the US Spanish DO work

  Me too. I also remember Gary "Bro-Bro" Breaux, before he moved to Brooklyn. These guys are too high up the WT ladder to really feel the pinch. Nobody is "reassigning" them, so their words ring hollow.

  I love how they parade these old timers around as examples of "Everything will be fine if you just obey WT". They got "changes in assignment" back in the day that WT was still hiring for life.

  How about some of the recently Booted ones? OR the ones they kicked out during the Great Rescission of 2008?! Let's hear from them! Did the ORG help them with food or housing after a lifetime of work? Pensions? Severance package?

  A good write up here: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/10/hacker-releases-new-purported-personal-data-for-top-cia-dhs-officials/

  I know some will lump this in with Snowden & Manning, but I don't think that is right. It is one thing to expose the violations of the constitution committed by the Government, but a completely different thing to dox people. This is the type of thing that ruins careers and lives.

  I'll reserve judgement for now, but this guy had better produce something of value. Otherwise, he is just causing needless suffering.
