Anti-Masturbation Training Video For Jehovah's Witnesses!

[Judith Sweeney]

From a Psychological standpoint, this act causes a person to be self centered. When said "bopper" finds a mate...well, said person is used to the way they themselves do things... the adage "if you want something done right, do it Yourself" may well be the result.  I personally think it is a form of self abuse.   The tub always could use a scrubbing....

Are you saying that the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses have such total control of the Organisation that they could not be removed ?  Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.... But, as Jesus said, with God all things are possible.

Who is going to remove  men at the apex of the pyramid?

Outside of secular authorities who might arrest and imprison them for violation of secular law, there is no one WITHIN the .ORG to fire them.   Even if imprisoned on some charge, like embezzlement or something else, they would still be the titular figureheads of the .ORG

Jehovah God COULD turn us all into winged frogs .... but current hard evidence shows that he does NOT interfere with any aspect of mankind's follys, whether they be deliberate, or through chance and circumstance , or just being plain goofy and clueless.

Many fantasy, wishful thinking bogus examples to the contrary ... the Governing Body KNOWS this.

They cannot be fired for crimes, incompetence, or just being plain goofy and clueless.

No matter WHAT they do ... the money keeps rolling in ....

What do you think? Are the members of the governing body the owners of some shares of WTBTS or any other sister company ?

We each have our deeply felt opinions about every imaginable issue ... and we are entitled to believe, or feel, anything that makes us, become us.

It's when we wish to impose on others .... under the color of "It is God's will" ...... that the road to hell gets another load of good intentioned  extra large paving stones.

I personally am very comfortable with the idea  that people that abuse animals should be tortured to death ... and take several weeks to do it .....  but I would NOT expect that viewpoint to be shared by others ... NOR would I drag up some ambiguous scriptures to support that idea, or imply that it is the "Will Of God!".

"Do not go beyond the things that are written" .... was written for a good and sound REASON.

Perhaps even to protect everybody ... from me.

Without hard evidence ... I try not to think at all about what other people do, or don't do.

I had three Elders surround me at the Kingdom Hall, and well within my "air space",  one asked me  without any verbal foreplay  whatsoever: "What do you think about the Governing Body?".

I replied without thinking .... "I do not think about them at all!".

They didn't bother me again for almost a year.

In any Corporation, the ONLY way to correct things that are seriously wrong, is to fire those responsible.

NOTHING else actually works !

Not always a solution though is it? It very much depends on who takes their place!

As for this stupid argument as to what the law states or does not state, its totally irrelevant.

Of course! Why bring such nonsense into a discussion of courtroom proceedings?

Yes, OK.   I mean in regard to what you said;  "In any Corporation, the ONLY way to correct things that are seriously wrong, is to fire those responsible."

People run WT business for more than 100 years. Whoever takes place on governing position must run WT Company. Company (Board of directors or however else they are called) have responsibility to those who have their interests (shares) in it.

My comment which you are twisting was about whether a true servant of God would need a 'mans law' to tell them what action to take. That is, should they report Child Abuse or not. Any true servant of God would know that all Child Abuse should be reported to the Police and the other authorities such as Child welfare whether its compulsory or not. The Pedophile needs to be caught and dealt with by a legal court. You do know don't you that there were courts and judges and prisons in Jesus' time ?

But the point here in this discussion seems to be is it important for the JW 'bosses' to blow this out of all proportion ? Or are they using it as a way of pretending to be 'righteous' ?

You don't seem to have much faith in God then. If God wants to have or needs to have a 'clean organisation' then I'm sure he could arrange that. Were not the  Pharisees and the Sadducees at the apex of the pyramid ? Didn't Jesus show them up for what they were?  But now Jesus is in an even higher, more powerful position. If God through Jesus Christ wants the JW Org to be cleaned out, then it will be cleaned out.... The wicked slave gets thrown out into the street, and that is where the gnashing of his teeth will be.
