Tattoos anyone?

Elders decide who is anointed?
by Maverick inon blondies post about watchtower comments you will not hear 03/30/03, a point was brought up about the elder that counts who partake not counting certain ones.
if i understand that right, those with the 'eartly' hope decide who has the 'heavenly' hope.
the society's reasoning is that these partaker might be confused.

The WatchTower and Higher Education
by Maverick inrunningman's post on the fallacies of the watchtower reasonings started me thinking on the gb's stand on higher education.
i am impressed with the superb thinking ability of many who post here.
unclebruce, stephanus, victor_e, gamaliel, blondie, undisfellowshipped, and machislopp to name just a few.

Would you want to live in a Kingdom under the Duds?
by Maverick inone of the 'problems' i had before blackguard deprogrammed me was i could not reconcile the actions of the j-dud masters with a loving god.
i felt if god was with these people i did not want to live in any new system under this power structure.
if god was as phoney, vengeful, and petty a person as his faithful and discreet slave was i was better off dead.

Subliminal self-promotion
by Maverick ini thought i would try a little experiment.
i saved all my bound volumes of the wt and was curious as to how mant time the writing department of the governing body made reference to the 'organization' in one form or another.. .
i picked a bv at random and read four watchtower articles, (that was all i could stomach), and underlined each mention of the brotherhood is its various forms.

What would happen if there was no more shunning?
by Maverick ini wonder what would happen if the governing body decided to drop the shunning of those who do not want to go along with the program?
how many closet dissidents are out there in j-dud land?
would they lose a million publishers?
