4. The use of the word Jehovah by Caballists and Masons has meant a double-sexedGod.This Author in researching the Occult noticed that there was a connection betweenhomosexuality and the New Age. For instance, upon entering a New Age store called theThird Eye (see the chapter on the Mark of the Beast), he found that free Homosexualliterature was being given out.The whole idea of such connections seem bizarre to those of us who have hadlittle to do with the occult or homosexuality. Yet, in trying to understand others, say forinstance, Catholic nuns who openly flaunt their lesbianism, and who are also into the NewAge, the possibility that witchcraft and homosexuality play a role with each other may bea worthwhile explanation.As one climbs the ladder of the Watchtower Society's hierarchy he becomes moreimmune to any censor of immoral behavior. "Witnesses are resentful of the fact that itseems that Elders commit 'the same wrong over and over, and little is done—and yet ifa publisher is caught sinning once, he or she is disfellowshipped almost on the spot!" 50This Author has witnessed that double-standard. This is one more reason why it ispossible that widespread homosexuality may have been practiced so long atHeadquarters.MECHANICS OF THE GOVERNING BODYThe Governing Body holds meetings at least weekly to discuss appointments, business,and recommendations by branch personnel. 51 The Governing Body in 1971 began arotation annually by alphabetical order of the offices. 52 A WT spokesperson told theBrooklyn Heights paper that the Society now had 2 Vice-presidents, George Couch anda Pearson. The WT Society has made the Governing Body so mysteriously powerful thatjust the rubber stamp of their signature is enough authorization for anything.NOTES1.
