g70 4/22 8 Changes That Disturb People ***
THE churches are in rapid decline.
...Why is there this decline in religion?
One of the reasons is that people are disturbed by what is happening in their churches. Yes, millions of persons have been shocked to learn that things they were taught as being vital for salvation are now considered by their church to be wrong. Have you, too, felt discouragement, or even despair, because of what is happening in your church?

Jupiter must also transfer his allegiance from the grasping Saturn to the newly discovered factor that stands for universal brotherhood; namely, Uranus. When Uranus and Jupiter meet in the humane sign of Aquarius in 1914, the long-promised era will have made a fair start in the work of setting man free to work out his own salvation, and will insure the ultimate realization of dreams and ideals of all poets and sages in history.

From the book : “Riches” – by JF Rutherford 1936 ed. p.30 par. 2
“The Roman Catholic
Hierarchy is made up of a few men,
who assume authority to rule and govern, and that Hierarchy
rules and controls millions of persons who
are submissive to the Hierarchy. Such persons are not counted as
members of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy or of “the church”, but
are designated by that organization as “the Catholic population”;
meaning that they are the ones who bear up, support
and furnish the money for
such organization.”

13 …The members of this anointed group are years ahead in maturity, Biblical knowledge, theocratic experience and vision of Jehovah’s purpose and divine will.
There are several things one can do to stay awake and abreast. First, one should keep up with the “food at the proper time” supplied through God’s proved channel and published by the Watch Tower Society.

2 But we are not yet in Jehovah’s new order. We still live in this present wicked system of things. And it is fast approaching its end. Its finish will come shortly when it collides head on with God at the coming “great tribulation.” (Matt. 24:21)

Today, Jehovah's people stand at the threshold of the righteous new world.
The Society's Governing Body has passed a long, long time ago any sense of decency. Above all their falsehood and love of money is really shocking!!!
Greating to all;
