How these seven fools got to be the figure heads of a moderately significant religion with millions of followers and billions of dollars of assets is really a mystery.
jp: valid observation. answer:
GB members have obviously been picked by intelligent, educated, powerful people that are looking for fanatical, believable puppet front men.

Knorr could have giving himself a title it would have been "King"
nb: Knorr is the trademark of major food company. he could have given himself the title of CHEF, "chief" (chieftain like in Ezekiel), "chef "in french. almost left a typo with a "t". would have been slander.
in my comedy i am playing around with being a jw spokesman justifying the ridiculous things in the publications, website, letters and talks by governing body members.. can you give me some scandals please?.
to start off with un ngo membership.... thanks.

1) Jesus said "this Generation will not pass away until all these things occur". but
WT now says " this anointed generation will pass away; -- it will die, go to heaven before Armageddon, prior to the judgement of Sheep and Goats". WT is going beyond. w.i.w.
2) Wt teaches that all of the "Israel of God" aka "Spiritual Israel" goes to heaven, is anointed; but also teaches that
the "12 tribes of Israel", in Math. 19:28 and Rev 7: 4-9, are the "Earthly, non partaker class"

on item 4, a lengthy read: The 3 judges rejected the wt appeal, which maintained that the judge in the previous decision had acted with personal prejudice in his ruling against JW practises foisted by the divorced a jw mother on her daughters.
The non-jw father , a Pharmacist, had asked that first court to curtail his former wife's wt activities, particularly the h2h time, and the single judge had agreed, but the 3 appeal court judges disagreed with wt. The prejudice against wt is not personal, it is universal.
no doubt this has been discussed before, but if the 1975 event had never happened where would watchtower be now.
comments please..
it would have 10s of thousand less members, because there was a huge boost through sincere jws taken wt pronouncements seriously. It also steeled the deceived ones against further wt mayhem like the overlapping.
wt will never shake the stigma of being false speculating prophets, putting up trial balloons, being loons.

implicating Canada Branch Committee member John MacEwan
To be fair. John MacEwan is not implicated in any sexual wrongdoing, but only as an elder in that place at the time. Perhaps not even involved in this particular case. the way I read it anyway.
canada, province of quebec : class action lawsuit filed against the watchtower about the pedophilia issue.
it is now official.
see the articles in french of today:.
The "enquete" story invites witnesses of such events, and other victims to come forward to links of the cbc/ radio canada program, so, more juicy stuff might surface.
Terrebonne is mentioned, it means "good earth" but not so good things are un-earthed there.
one or two notable points from chapter 18 of "god's kingdom rules.".
“it will never beg nor petition men for support”.
7 brother russell and his associates refused to imitate the money-raising schemes so common in the churches of christendom.
when we vote for donation funds to go to the CO, the insurances, the construction projects, the disaster reliefs, and so on.
SL: These were the occasions when I took the "no voting" doctrine of the wt very serious sement. ha ha.
As donations decline, more such votes on contribution levels will increase, perhaps even pleas to contribute locally and not use the wt online system. watch being "marked" for negative reaction.
i was told this when i was an aspiring jw, aka unbaptized publisher.
the above explanation didn't make sense to me then and it never did make sense throughout my jw career.
over time, it appeared to me the real purpose of field service time reporting was to gauge one's spirituality and for the ceo *cough* co to make sure the elders were on top of things during his visit..
JW`s are not content with just Jesus shed blood they offer up man Woman and Child to shed their blood to Christ Jesus /Jehovah,,,
S3: correction, only .016 % of jws are content with the [symbolic] blood of JC, by accepting it as partakers. The vast majority reject even that symbol, the wine. hopefully one day soon, they will reject it all.

It is the only "charitable" activity that wt can claim, provided free by, and tabulated from the members, totally unrelated to the incoming cash flow. reported monthly to fool the governments tax men.
