1870 CE Charles T Russel had questions which led to spiritual discussions. Discerned invisible return of Christ, began to preach and publish literature
Why would the two witness rule not apply to this "discernment"?
This will be my third visit to you. "Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses."
(2 Corinthians 13:1)
Where are Russell's witnesses of this time period to attest to this discernment/speculation which has been presented feloniously as FACT?
I like Agnus remark,
"I mean, this is like trying to build a particle accelerator out of Jell-O."
They state ideas with factual names and such and spin a fiction with themselves as the star protagonists.
The Catholic Church, Greek and Russian Orthodox, Ethiopian Christian church, and Jews throughout history have carried the torch of truth. The WT is run by Christian haters and Jew haters. When Israel became a nation in 1948 the Zionism promoted by Russell was opposed since that establishment of Israel was evidenced by miracles and appearances of angels from G-D. "Nominally Christian churches" is the most polite reference to traditional Christianity I ever read in any WT lit.
I go to Mass Saturday at 4pm and find incredible peace in my soul there. I attend Baptist church the rest of the week as they are my family. If you are still in the WT you don't know how wrong they are. Baptists have Lifeway literature. Better than any WT or AW. Books by Perry Stone, Jeffrey Grant, Blackaby, Beth Moore are awesome and excellent messages of truth and come from a heart at peace not at war. Our daily bread is better than any daily text of self deification. The yearbook is creative fiction with real persons lives portrayed.
My son has friends every day at Cornerstone Baptist. He gets Sunday school, studies, weekend Discipleship Now camp, basketball camp, summer camp, mission trips to Alabama and abroad. I had a few acquaintances as a youth.
The time between Assys is ridiculously long to meet your friends since you're not really allowed any outside your own hall - no bowling parties, dances, pic-nics with a mixed group of JWs from where-ever, ooh and make sure you bring an elder if there are more than 10.
I have so much and so little time to explain but read some of my recent posts and go to a Baptist service or similar for a rush of real Christianity. The culture shock might throw you but its real Christianity and free from the "No choir" "no nothing that looks like Catholic / Protestant practice" and "no terms from C/P practice" persecution and stranglehold of mind and conscience.
Jesus is the only road and your only support.
Blessings to all you and search deep within your heart if you are actually comfortable with WT lies and deceptions. That it all most of it is. I have more than enough truth and I know the authors by name. Read the Baptist Faith and Message available online. Its 1000 plus scripture references and minimal explanations make for a solid case that it is based on scripture not creative "logic".
PM me if you want to know more about going to Church after 45 years in the Watchtower and being raised a JW from age 2. It is OK. The demons won't invade you. Nothing can curse what God blesses.
Blessings and regards,
Paul

This reminds me of a Cheech and Chong skit.
"Yo, man, I used to be all messed up on drugs. Now I am all messed up on the Lord."
In your case it would be like:
"Yo, man, I used to be all messed up on WT teachings, now I am all messed up on televangelists."
Cameo-d I PMed you tonight. Are you a night owl or do you live in Europe where the day is light? The WT is not my concern anymore, just to help people get out with reason and sanity. They have incredible powers of mind control. I don't care about their latest "New Light" v. 109.21 Beta version. It is only of interest to my if I can help someone see the fallacy of it.
The best C.O. I ever met told me privately that the brothers were the greatest threat he knew. Even a C.O. trying to be a good man is a victim of the culture in the org.
I got blacklisted for knowing and teaching too much truth. My comments in WT studies contradicted the thoughts presented when they were flawed. I knew the WT better than most any of them. It is shit. Quit touching the unclean thing.
Paul
Cameo-d,
What do televangelists have to do with it? An evangelist is an evangelist, the anti-christian chatter is notable. Get real, get Jesus. There is no salvation in any other name. He is The Way and The Truth and The Life.
Look what they've done to my song ma, look what they've done to my song. The only thing I could do half right and its turning out all wrong ma, look what they've done to my song. - a 60's song

Not some WT org
Out of one cult and into another.......it doesn't end for some people
useless dribble
What a load of crap.
I wish the society would print this type of information, but they are to clever for that.
Then they wonder why "worldly" people think they are nuts.
The CO, is the WT shill who told us at a meeting , a long, long, time ago, "brothers, Armageddon is only 18 months away"
lukewarm
man, talk about taking one for the team...
above and beyond the call of duty....
or is it dootie? seems it violates your
avatar's circle/slash admonishment
at any rate, it is, as always,
a tortured convoluted miasma
meant to stupify the dr0nes...
and i bet it works wonderfully well
