Where were the present GB members in 1975 and their ages the
by Lostandfound in42years have passed since the great 1975 expectation delivered nothing.
blame for the expectations laid at feet of the faithful, 'it's your fault , you believed us so you are responsible for the let down'.
i have asked this previously and repeat the point, where were the current members of the governing body, 43 years ago.

Elders Role Model
by Lostandfound incanon xxxxx filled me with dread .he would extort the last penny from the poor people of.. town.. and it makes you wonder where it was all going...a man without compassion or principals and its taken me lifetime to fight off the shackles of guilt for disagreeing with his dogmas and brain washing.. .
.
he would have made a perfect elder, seemingly catholics of the past suffered as much at hands of their shepherds as do the witnesses today..

Shunning - Are Mothers Most Fanatical?
by Lostandfound inon many posts by those with experience of df or da shunning, it look to me that the most fanatical observers of the shunning practise are mothers, and when a person approached parents about their own doubts or intentions, approaching the mother the most daunting prospect .
odd that visiting warwick leaflet has a picture of a meeting of some sort with a room comprising men only, given the subordinate role given to women, one might think they would be more liberal over shunning close ones, but not so.. what drives this, is it grabbing an opportunity to be more visible by their loyalty, or low level of education of a lot of dubs so that the sisters blindly accept direction or authority.
i might have expected some kick back against the shunning practise by sisters giving evidence to their independence of thought.. our real thinkers here will be able to explain this fanaticism of loyalty better.

Elders initial letters from WT When read
by Lostandfound inone of my abiding memories of the truth was after hard work for years as secretary and then presiding overseer.
three new younger 'pioneers' appointed who clearly wanted the position.
well i did not want it and could see the future chaos and self aggrandisement such younger ones would lead to if given , what they was as, positions of influence.. circuit visit elders meeting with co, i always checked which elder had worked with co and likely brownosed and clawed their way up the appointment ladder.

Bethel Library moving to Warwick, are older items 'vanishing'
by Lostandfound inin a post re dates etc from fatfreek reference was made to huge library at bethel with items dating back to pastor rs day.
like the year 1975 which has vanished from wt theology, are gb using move to let them put all old and inconvenient items into some sort of cold storage and off library shelves.
already the revelation book has gone from the orgs website, and that was quite recent relatively, we studied it 3 times at congregation book study, yet now, like type and antitype it mysteriously was never there.

3.(e) By Charitable Works for the Relief of Poverty
by Lostandfound inlooking at the australian wt memorandum and articles of this line took my attention.. when did they ever undertake works to relieve poverty, some discarded bethelites facing poverty would laugh at this, more like charitable works for the extension of poverty.
but no poverty facing the ultra heavies and gb members replete with obscene displays of the means of telling the time..

Anointed o es disfellowshipped and then reinstated
by Lostandfound insorry if this already covered, have any one seen a professed anointed one disfellowshipped and subsequently reinstated?
still partaking after return.. i witnessed one who had to be "advised" not to attend memorial as his partaking in df state could stumble.
he later told people he observed memorial with emblems privately at home..
