Wouldn’t it be helpful for The Governing Body to outline the following:
- precisely what ideas are apostates propagating?
- what makes these ideas false?
- what evidence is there that these false ideas have no truth to them?
- which Bible verses are being explained in the wrong way?
- who has decided the right way to explain these Bible verses?
- where does their authority to decided truth from falsehood come from?
In simple terms, how does your average Jehovah’s Witness know what an apostate idea is and what isn’t, who is mentally diseased and who isn’t? Why don’t The Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses outline this in as simple language as they do in the above pictured quotation*?
Rather what we se presented is a rather vague and ambiguous description of a shadowy group of mentally ill criminals interpreting the Bible as they see fit and propagating their ideas via illicit means at the local Kingdom Hall.
Perhaps this mentally ill group are trying to convince some honest hearted worshippers of God that organ transplants are tantamount to cannibalism, for example. Or that Jesus evidently meant a strange, previously unheard of, definition of the word “generation”.

isn’t it good to be away from their control….and the thing was…we mindcuffed ourselves……..
the governing body HAD AND HAVE NO AUTHORITY……next time a witness asks the programmed question…”where else can we go?…there’s nothing else out there”….tell them…”there is freedom…why don’t you try it”?……the truth does set you free after all
take it a bit further…..where does anyone get their authority?
divine right of kings?…..let them prove it too….they have no real authority either
we have to present our own selves to the creator….we should not have anyone else re-present us
mark…could you send me your e-mail addy again….my whole computer crashed and everything on it went kaput….cheers
I see the ‘apostate-entertainer’ Standfirm, the giant of the website world has gone to sleep again, at least until Marvin Shilmer gets his goat again. Oh, well, time to get on with life.
