The Untold Story of Four Jehovah's Witness Governing Body Members Who Were Deleted.

For Jehovah's Witnesses, the Governing Body (GB) stands as the anointed channel of God, its pronouncements infallible, its pronouncements absolute. However, cracks in this carefully constructed facade have always been there, revealing a history tarnished by scandal and riddled with inconsistencies.

I'm a fourth generation JW (now exJW for many years). It is my experience that the higher people work themselves up the ladder in Watchtower, the worse they are. They are either bad to begin with and WT gives them the means to express their wickedness/psychopathy, or they become bad over time. You can't swim in a sewer and expect to remain clean, and WT is a sewer.

The most qualified individuals to be true, loving shepherds amongst the JWs are the ones that refuse to serve in an appointed position, or are roadblocked to being appointed. The worst of the worst are the ones that ultimately get into positions of power. Scum does, indeed, rise to the top in WT.

Wow, what a professional and well executed presentation!! Most impressive. Fortunately I got out at 19 but one of my sisters married a Bethelite, only to find out that he's a closet homosexual. Of course she couldn't divorce him and they are still together in abject misery after 60 years. Fortunately she did have a child by him who became the sunshine of her life. May God have mercy on them

There is only one problem with religion that has all the answers, is that there don't allow themselves to be questioned. 😂

Excellent history lesson. The sad reality of this is that of the four of them (assuming the JWs are aware of and believe this history), Ray Franz will be the one regarded in the worst possible light by the brotherhood.

I feel that Tony Morris was 'standing in the way of Jehovah's chariot' and got himself run over.

Nicely researched and narrated. Honest and concise.

"... airbrushed from collective memory." That's great writing -- wonderful imagery. Well done.

Wow. I am a 4th genner here in Toronto and my "waking up" occurred when I literally lost every member of my family within two years, leaving me all alone in the world, and shocking me into awareness. I had truly believed mom etc. would never die and the shock made me drift. It doesn't ever really leave me, as I was fully in, and a true believer. I clearly remember Leo Greenlees always giving talks at our Kingdom Hall, which was the 2nd oldest one in Toronto, and I was just a little girl. Also his name on the Circuit and District Convention programs. I was fully plugged in, but didn't hear a word about him until now, which just proves how truly secretive things were, and how hidden everything was, before the "internet era" where information could be kept quiet, without anyone knowing. I also am shocked I didn't hear more about Raymond Franz. I think I heard Br. Franz give a talk about "leaving family" to serve god, but that is all I recall. This religion destroyed my and generations of my family's life, and I only wished they would have lived long enough to see some of the shocking changes the past few years. It's unrecognizable to me now.

thank you for this video...i must point out however that the GB does not claim infallibility or divine inspiration..they brought this out a few years ago in a WT i believe... i thought it a strange admission because claiming this means that they should not wield any authority over anyone..because for what reason should anyone believe anything they say at any given time...

[warrenmanning]

Excellent presentation.. "repetition for emphasis" 👍🏽👍🏽

[sramdeojohn]

Any time JWs stop me to talk, I know how to end the conversation respectfully. I just say,
"No religion, community, organisation, board of directors, or selected groups of individuals on this earth has the right to tell me that I am so uneducated and unlearn and can't understand what I read in any bible without the aid of some special printed publication."

And as always the JWs will respond, " Have a nice day, sir."

I never come across any JWs, be they young or old ever stood up to me when I told them the mention above statement. 😏

Since the day I found out what those rings they are wearing, they were/are all just a club members who will hide each other’s wrongs😅I guess only Raymond had distinguish what’s right and wrong.

[judyarellano]

Thank you for the important information!!

[Beaheadoeverybody]

Never stop exposing them and most importantly the whole goberning needs to be held accountable to the full extend of the law directly in the United States as that's were they are officially located for all the child sexual abuse cases and for all the psychological abuse and harm they have done to all ex jehovahs witnesses while they were still jehovahs witnesses we need serious justice and serious changes to happen as soonest possible worldwide

[evanwindom]

They don't claim to be infallible or inspired. They've been pretty clear on that. However, just because they don't claim that doesn't mean witnesses aren't supposed to treat them in accordance with those lower standards. They're not prophets (according to them) but their work is "prophet like". (If you claim to be God's spokesmen, how can you NOT claim to be a prophet?) They claim they're not inspired, but are instead "divinely directed". What, exactly, does THAT even mean? Sounds like weasel-speak to me.

[prmusinterpares]

Your video is really fair and balanced. Most apprey!!!

[gaetanodetorrice]

Watchtower is a real estate and publishing company disguised as a religion is it simple as that.👍 If you go after watchtower you got to go after it as a business not a religion.👍

Secrets finally start to be revealed. The dirty closet must be clean until another dirt come in.

So Adam and Eve ~ with out very good preparation just fell very, very short in deciding what was good for their eternal journey. So no good preparation and they failed very bad. So they suffered consequences for their actions. Plus they were very, very, Inconsiderate. Up to now case closed. I used to belong to a religion that belonged to the group of religions that do not make sense of The Worship of The True God. But things changed when I came across a member of God's Visible Organization also this Organization is also known as The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. Where God's accurate detailed truth is found for Everlasting Life. Thank you for your time. With pure sincerity I make this declaration. Jacobie here. 😮 😊

am somewhat surprised that the bethel scandal involving nathan knorr did not make this video. for years nathan knorr had been adamant for celebacy among the witnesses, including himself. then, for no apparent reason, knorr decided to marry. this action created quite a stir among the witnesses. the backdrop to this seems to be a report of homosexual behavior at brooklyn bethel, at a time when only male members were assigned. the gossip was that nathan knorr was a closet homosexual himself. knorr was outraged at what he discovered, and even moreso about the gossip. so he married to quell the suspicions. knorr's wife maintained throughout her life that the marriage was never consummated. the behavior that knorr discovered reached even to bethel in canada, where the bethel branch servant was relegated to janitor. it is quite a story. but you will never find it in the proclaimers book.
