  Do Jehovah's Witnesses view the governing body differently since seeing them on the TV?

  by jambon1 in

  i think this may be a bigger issue for the society than we realise.. when you consider that witnesses have now had well over a year of regularly seeing their 'channel to god' with their own eyes, what do you think they're thinking?.

  i'm going to put this as respectfully as i can; these men are clearly a bunch of utter clowns who are laughably inadequate to present a tv show, but also, they are now ridiculously discredited due to the absolute shite that they've spoken in these laughable productions.. consider things from a jw's perspective; tony morris, stephen lett & geoffrey jackson are 'the channel' that makes their religion 'special'.

  these men are the channel god is using to lead his people in the modern day.

  It's absolutely had an effect. For years the majority of JWs would have never seen the GB except for a video clip or if they were 'lucky' enough to get a member at a convention or assembly. Unless you were a Bethelite or in some other full time service, you'd never see them.

  Now the rank and file see them all the time and talk about them a lot more. They describe them almost like reality TV stars, discussing things they said and their personalities. They're basically celebs now.

  For the rank and file, they eat this shit up. They talk about them all the time even in casual conversation. For those out or doubting is has the opposite effect, proving that it really is just a man made organization.

  Judical committee flaws

  if an elder sitting in a jc has a secret sin of a serious nature, his rulings that took place while this sin was unknown are still binding.

  in a court of law of most countries that would be a grounds for appeal.

  regardless i know they are kangaroo courts ,where anyone who has any biblical knowledge knows they can't back up a scriptural reference for a three man tribunal.

  You bring up a good point. JW doctrine says that someone hiding a secret sin can impede the flow of holy spirit in a family or even a congregation. An elder hiding something would impede the holy spirit's operation during a meeting or any sort of judicial proceedings.

  I"m very curious about why they evicted their 15 year old daughter. I've never read anything at all from the WT about kicking out minor children.

  so,we joined a cosplay group.today, we all dressed like pirates and raided the krispy kreme and long john silvers.

  we got to sing, act and entertain children.

  everyone is so nice and it's so much fun.we are able to support many different charities.we have also been able to redefine the words 'meeting' and 'convention'.

  I"m not sure what's worse. Joining a cosplay group or going to Long John Silvers. Both are terrible life choices.

  i'm quite surprised about the new approach of some local congregation brothers respect about my fade.... funny, ilegal and very dangerous in view of the different laws regarding personal data and minorities in spain and in the eu.... i already organized a press meeting with main newspapers in spain.

  many has shown interest in this situation.

  the fact of that a parallel judicial system do exist is amazing them.

  Yeah what Freddo said. If there's only one witness to anything you said or did, just deny deny deny. They can't do shit. That's what the pedophile elders have done for years, and it's worked wonders for them.

  That reminds me, what's John Larson up to these days? For a while he seemed to be the public face of the WT. I haven't heard a peep from him in a while.

  Cold war on homefront!

  a few months back i let it be known to my husband that i was no longer interested in anything jw related.

  when he took it to the elders, without actually divulging anything that might get me disfellowshipped like apostasy - well, he just basically told them i was all depressed and discouraged and everything and that i didn't want to be contacted by the elders about it.

  i don't know what he actually told them, word for word, or what they actually said to him word for word, but he told me they told him not to do anything spiritual with me at home anymore - no bible study, praying, daily text, meetings via phone, jw broadcasting, discussions, etc.

  i have not read all the discussions about the recent regional convention where the org is now ramping up the diabolical act of shunning.

  i am not sure as to which ‘category’ of persons it now applies.. my wife and i have faded over the past couple of years.

  our book-study conductor used to drop by to give us the magazines.

  There's a witness family that lives a couple minutes away from me. They are pretty close with my parents. My wife ran into them at the grocery store yesterday and they were buying a bunch of stuff for a cook-out this weekend. They didn't invite us over or anything. I probably would have gone because I won't turn down free food. I don't really mind they didn't invite me, however, what really gets me is this: If I went to the Kingdom Hall on Sunday morning, they'd love bomb me and say how much they miss me and how good it is to see me and all that crap. Well if they miss me that much, why the hell don't they reach out to me. The truth is they don't miss me, they just go into the usual routine when an inactive one comes to the meetings and they say all the stuff they are supposed to say.

  I was always under the impression that JWs couldn't join AA because of its origins in 'false religion'
