  I was totally the same - I was always curious. The more the society said "dont", the more curious I got.

  QUOTE " My mom mentioned that the annual meeting announced international conventions every year from now on and that the Manhattan Project "setting up tables on the street" is going nationwide. Any news on , or did I miss that posting."

  Well if I was a self-important selfish bastard on the GB that is what I would do. 1 year I would do a nice talk in Australia, the next year somewhere in Europe - oh and how about one in Hawaii. Must be wonderful travelling the world at the brothers expense for your own benefit. International conventions each year - wow that will keep the travel desk at Bethel busy.

  I am confused - I suppose they are both right wing conservatives so I can see the argument - it does make sense.

  The Governing Body has to Become the Faithful & Discreet Slave

  by Mickey mouse in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the growing ranks of the anointed are a threat to their power.

  today's watchtower made it clear that jehovah uses the governing body, no mention of the faithful & discreet slave.. i think they need new light on this in the next year or two..

  Not a surprise ,most elders in most Kingdom Halls are below average IQ . Reasons : They are chosen on not how bright or how well versed are in the Bible but for how loyal they are to mother organisation 70% of the time they come from the same family i.e. if your dad is an elder you will find it twice as easy to become one compared to one who has no such affiliations Critical thinking left the building after '75 ,so you will find JW's are become more stupid every year GB is against higher education so things will get worse

  EXACTLY my thoughts - I have met some extremely loyal but just cant think. They were never allowed on a JC
