Crisis of Conscience, Chapter 3
by snowbird inthe chapter is entitled governing body, with a subheading entitled three monarchs.. in this chapter, ray franz thoroughly debunks the notion advanced by fred franz that wt leadership is modeled after a so-called 1st century governing body.. however, something else that got my attention was the fact that rutherford was referred to as chief by overseas jw's.. on page 70, there is a picture of the london bethel family.. the caption reads: "see 'em grinning?
the chief had just finished telling them something in the "colored language.".
now, this really grabbed my attention!

Are you suggesting that Judas was never really anointed?

IN PRACTICE, they are racist, homophobic, anti-environmentalist and promote a religious (evangelical Christian) agenda to tear down the separation of church and state.
BizzyBee:
Please elaborate on the separation of church and state. The fact is there is no Constitutional separation of Church and State. The constitution says:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The only thing I believe you think you know about the constitution is what you've heard other left wingers spout. I would doubt that you have read it yourself. If you have, please show me where there is a separation of church and state IN THE CONSTITUTION. I await your response eagerly.
Are you suggesting that evangelical christians have no constitutional right to express their choices by voting or by organizing and being active politically? Are you suggesting that because the Koch brothers are billionaires, they have no right to express their political ideology and support the candidates they choose?

I really think this is much ado about nothing. I could own a porn video company and donate half of the shares to the WTS and maintain voting rights of the shares, and it wouldn't mean the WTS is in the porn business.
The fact is the WTS didn't solicit the owners or invest money in the business. It's really a non issue in my opinion.
I really feel like there are bigger fish to fry with regard to the WTS errors, and misrepresentations. Pursuing this and trying to connect them with warfare is a waste of time.

My Motives For Denouncing Homophobia and Bigotry
by PublishingCult ini just want to be clear on this.
some have attributed my motives for denouncing homophobia and bigotry to my being gay.
some have come to the conclusion that i must be gay for shouting down the homophobes and bigots on this board.

Blueweed, Assuming you are correct, that would mean that the Holy Spirit did not direct the GB to appoint Ray Franz to join them. You cannot have it both ways.
I too have met several annointed people. I think 5 in my former congregations. One was a straight up lunatic middle aged woman who was just plain nuts. One was an older woman who seemed to be very spiritual, but didn't talk much. One was a friend of my dad's who was the only person to call on me when I stopped going to meetings. He was DF'd a few months after I stopped going, and was killed in a car wreck on his way to Thursday night meeting. The other two were elders. One is one of the nicest and most genuine christians I've ever met, and the last one was my PO for a number of years. He is recently divorced for having an affair and was removed as an elder and reproved.
So, out of 5 I've known personally, only one could I look back now and say, "Maybe they are anointed."

g Everyone knows they didn't crucify people, they impaled them on an upright pole or "stauros"
Who do they think knows more about the culture and execution practices of the first century Romans......The Watchtower Society, or Christians who were there?
This is just more lies and false doctrine from Christendom and her cohort Babylon the Great!!!!
Incidentally, I never understood why the WTS made such a big deal of whether Jesus was killed on a Cross or a "Torture Stake" tm (I'd like to figure out how to put the little trade mark sign next to "Torture Stake" since I've never heard anyone ever use the term "Torture Stake" other than JW's for any reason whatsoever)

This kid lives near me. His brother will attend HS with my step son. He is really an amazing kid. His parents have worked with him and he is able to interact very well with others as opposed to some other children with Asperger's or Autism.
