  That's a really interesting video about the origin history of the JWs and especially whether their claims of being 'chosen" make any sense.

  Seriously god, you picked them?

  Makes no sense. But their fallback will always be "even though they were 100% wrong about everything, it doesn't matter, they were trying".

  The video is quite interesting. Very few things I would question. One is that he said that P.S.L. Johnson was a former WT board member, which I think is inaccurate.

  I remember reading that there was a subgroup of the Standfasters that created a compound/retreat in the northwest (I think it was in BC). A bit like the Shakers in the early US, but I don't think it lasted more than a few years.
