"Another prominent mark of the beast .. is the honoring of the special class, the clergy, with special honors and titles. They are known as Revs., Divines, etc., but Jesus, the divine, said: 'Ye call me Lord and Master, and ye say well, for so I am.' 'Be not ye called Rabbi, neither be ye called Masters, for one is your Master, even Christ, and all ye are brethren (Matt. 23:8). These titles are assumptions fashioned after those of Papacy."
- Zion's Watch Tower and Herald of Christ's Presence, January 1880, p6-7 - the words are those of Charles Taze Russell, the first President of the Watchtower Society.

What chaos! A total of 325 Classes (and more may be discovered - my sifting work is not quite completed; I am tarrying awhile), drawn only from the published writings of just the Watchtower's first president (including a handful drawn from his one "posthumous" work) - all OFFICIAL WATCHTOWER SOCIETY PUBLICATIONS. Bear in mind that:
"God is not the author of confusion" - 1 Cor. 14:33
And further - all these classes from the same person - the very founder of the Watchtower Society - who attacked the Catholic church for having classes! Here is what Lord Jesus Christ said to men like this shameful founder of the Watchtower Cult:
"Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye." - Matthew 7:5
And here is the clear scriptural warning to brainwashed Jehovah's Witnesses, following as they do an insane, blasphemous, dangerous, wicked, mind-controlling, soul-destroying cult that is based on the teachings of the amazingly presumptuous HYPOCRITE (as proven above) Charles Taze Russell:
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." - 2 Timothy 4:3-4
The Watchtower Society and the Creed of the Jehovah's Witnesses is a CHEAT, a 100% SCAM, a WICKED TRICK, a FILTHY LIE, a BLASPHEMOUS INSULT, a SCANDAL, a FRAUD, a DISGRACE, an ABOMINATION and a DAMNED OUTRAGE from start to finish. Why argue about it?

Nice list, but you have omitted one from recent times, the "Given Ones".
The Watchtower's long-standing preoccupation with "classes" originated with their beginnings in the 1870's when the philosophy of classes was in its heyday. The great exponent of classes was Karl Marx and Russell in his early writings believed that the war of Armageddon would be a battle between the classes i.e. Captital and Labour.

"but"? Clearly you either did not read or did not understand the words I wrote at the start of the list:
>> The Watchtower Society has had six Presidents. Let us look at
>> the "Classes" invented or officially used by just one of them
>> - the same Charles Taze RussellAs Charles Taze Russell did not invent or use the "Given Ones Class", such Class is therefore not on the list. Quite easy to follow, if you put your mind to it
Hope that helps.

Hey Focus,
- Zion's Watch Tower and Herald of Christ's Presence, January 1880, p6-7 - the words are those of Charles Taze Russell, the first President of the Watchtower Society.
You cannot underestimate the intelligence of the American people. HL MenckenI've heard about your list - but never read it. Thanks for printing it here. Perhaps you'll come back and explain how to go back and forth from topic to topic on H20?

Don't forget the "Jackass" class. All opposers of the truth belongs to that class.

And the "Dumb Ass Class" for those who hang out with the "Jack Ass Class " on the web.
Shouldn't you be in the Sunday morning meeting by now, Fred? Any good jw will be there half hour early to greet and stay a half hour late to visit before spending 2.0 hours out in field service. Make sure your shoes are shined and WT underlined.

There is not such a thing as a good JW. A person like you (who has no life) expect that there should be bad JW and a good JW. You might sit there and WAIT for one, but as for me, this one does not add up.

Don't worry, Fred. I'm sure that many things for you don't add up. Personally, I have found your posts to be totally without class.

Sorry waiting, my meeting is at 12:30 this year. I went out in service before that. We even went out to eat with the guest speaker after the meeting. I don't get to do it too often, because usually I have to work. Had a great time.
