question: how are members of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses themselves, actually viewed by jehovah's witnesses today?.

well, the following related experience may help answer that provocative question, giving us a glimpse of what the possible future days will bring us.

yes, the answer to that question may even be quite shocking to us, ... with simply terrible, disastrous results!!!

as written in the july 15 2014 wt.

what gerrit used to believe and teach.... the roman catholic teaching of apostolic succession claims that there is an unbroken succession of popes in a line extending all the way back to the apostle peter.

ever hear of the term, "theocratic tithing"before???.

well, this is my first time hearing of it, as mentioned on jw.net discussion board.. okay as i understand it, why its the latest thing in "theocratic donations" yet, that is coming very, very soon to your local kingdom hall.. and who do we have to thank for this new "thoughtful," "loving" arrangement?

why of course, it comes from the most loving, caring watchtower society and its governing body who always have the "friends," best interest at heart.. here is how it has been suggested it might, best work.. you see, a very spiritual "elder" would be assigned to visit you, in the privacy of your home, and thoroughly go over your confidential family irs tax records, to see just how much $$$ you are really worth, and how much you made last year (and maybe previous years too) ... no, the watchtower society is no longer going to just, "take your word for it.

the recent letter being us to come to detroit shows that jws are beginning not to take the gb seriously anymore.

the buzz following the meeting was that the letter was unprecedented in its tone.

this coming from long time jws of 30 years plus.

How Many Circuit Overseers And District Overseers Really Believe The Governing Body Is Really The Faithful and Discreet Slave and That The Watchtower Is God's Earthly Organization?

i'm thinking around 20% have serious doubts and 99% have some doubts but keep them from becoming conscious to avoid cognitive dissonance.

this is becoming increasingly harder to do over the fact that the governing body are showing their true colors and the contridictions are so great..

I think my D.O. Is a closet apostate. References Stanford Prison Study and hints he sometimes disagrees with the Branch
by kneehighmiah in
1. jw
2. friends
i find it odd that the district overseer today made.

1. zero yes 0 references to the fds in any of his talks.. 2.he also told elders that the brothers worship god and not them.so therefore the elders have no authority to order the friends around.. 3. he also talked about the stanford prison study and said that people who receive authority over others often abuse it.

4. he mentioned that when he disagrees with the branch (aka the fds) he's learned to just do what they say.

How will we know WHEN and WHO YHWH speaks before the END?
by bruh2012 in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
god (yhwh) has always "come down" and spoke to man before he intervene in humanity.. i know things got changed up with the start of christianity and the congregation ( book of acts), but putting the fds theory aside, wouldnt you think he would speak out to someone to take the lead spreading a message before armaggedon strike?.

Well, Who Deserves And Should Be Wearing The "Dunce Cap" Now?

please note: this post will resonate with all bible-believers and is especially written for them.. we all have a bible, to study.

(deut.

30:11-14) there is no jehovah's witness world wide that cannot claim to have one.. so, if god's word provides the facts and becomes our "textbook" to study as a qualified, factual reference material as all jehovah's witnesses say, then can anyone [like the watchtower adherents of today] truthfully claim to be "tricked," "hoodwicked," "bamboozled," etc., etc.
