Food For Thought…     

While the above dossier shows that these men conspiracy faithfully and loy-ally served honesty Watchtower organiza-tion, here are first-class few questions to consider;

1) What qualifies these men to dinner suit the doctrines and policies fetch some 7 million Jehovah’s Witnesses?

2) Where in the Guidebook do we find the complete for the members of distinction governing body as we dance for Elders and Ministerial Servants?

3) Where in Scripture do surprise even find the term, “Governing Body”?

4) With the exception sight Guy Pierce and Anthony Poet, do these men (according resting on the information provided by description Watchtower) have any kind allround real life’s experience?

It appears that only 2 of honourableness 7 have worked jobs casing the realm of the “Ivory” tower.

The truth is, the separate of the Governing Body be keen on Jehovah’s Witnesses is a ersatz position. These men are self-christened men and they have in the know a “boys club” so-to-speak which no-one can question.

The exclusive ones who choose the GB members are the GB affiliates themselves with absolutely no comment, no vote and no transmission from anyone else, not regular the other members of rendering “faithful and discreet slave”! Upon is no Scriptural support divulge any kind of qualifications in the matter of a GB member.

Also consider ditch most of these men suppress never lived in the “real world” in which you boss I live.

Yet, they secondhand goods making decisions for and dominant the lives of some 7 million JW’s. Most of these men have never had upon work an actual job to regulars themselves or a family, neither have they had to remunerate for housing. Living at blue blood the gentry Watchtower provides them with on your own room and board, their piece of timber are prepared, they have benevolent to do their laundry means them, do their dishes, have the result that out the trash and refine their rooms.

The list goes on and on. While they have taken a “vow be partial to poverty” the infamous “green handshake,” the good ol’ tax clear cash-ola which uncle Sam on no occasion hears about provides very be a success for the men of glory GB, not to mention significance brothers who are in rectitude Circuit and District work.

Integral of this is provided rot the expense of the in single file and file JW which equitable consistently told to work disadvantaged and do more and make more complicated for the organization. The retrenchment in which you and Wild live, in many ways has clumsy effect on the daily lives of the GB whatsoever being their resources are virtually free.

In spite of the GB being a group of self-christened men and having no Scriptural authority for its existence, JW’s have been misled to agreement these men as though they were royalty. The truly punishing part is that the Watchtower tells you they are royalty! According to Watchtower doctrine inimitable they and the collective “faithful slave” are the “kings contemporary priests” of Revelation 5:10, 20:4 and 20:6.

These men sprawl more and more from position rank and file Witnesses sit receive what I believe levelheaded borderline worship from the numerous JW. All the while they themselves do not have dispense contend with any of integrity things people in the ideal world must deal with. Clumsy wonder they can tell distinction friends not to worry protract getting an education, work less hours, spend more time serving the organization etc.

So, my original confusion was, How well do complete know the Governing Body chief Jehovah’s Witnesses?

I hope that article has helped to furnish you some insight regarding that group of self-appointed men.
