    The July 15, 1915 Watchower made this comment about the International Bible Students Association (also known as the Watch Tower Society), "If the I.B.S.A. can be shown to be a section of Babylon, we all ought to get out of it....If anyone can tell me how he got into Babylon by getting interested in the affairs of the Watch Tower Bible And Tract Society, let him show me how he will jump out, and I will jump with him".

    Good catch! I would guess that whoever wrote that never became a post-1931 dub and left, or if it were Russell be long dead. Well, I jumped out, I like it. But you put in "..." (tm Watchtower) so what was in the middle there?

    The rest of the article was just bashing every other religion and acknowledging there was no other religion to go to other than the Catholic Church for centuries.

    Back around 1968 in the congregation library out in the country near the Quebec US border I found a small booklet entitled something like Brother Russell Answers To Questions. One of the questions addressed to him was, If you found out that the Bible Students Group was part of Bablylon the Great, what would you do?

    His answer was to flee from it as fast as he could.

    This was around 1915 not long before he died.

    A few short years later, 1919 I guess. It came out that during world war 1, the Bible Students went into captivity during the war years.

    I wish someone could locate that booklet.

    I can't figure out how to edit a post.

    The last sentence in my post should read:

    A few short years later, 1919 I guess. It came out that during world war 1, the Bible Students went into Babylonish captivity during the war years.

    Good point, Belbab!! If they were still enslaved to "babylon", they were supposed to "get out!".......Belbab, I wish you would post more often!!

    And I thought that the WTS said that the FDS had always existed since Jesus' time. Looks like they can't get their story straight.

    Elsewhere, you're right. Must be that the popes were part of the "slave".

    If you move your curser over the middle section where it says:

    Re: Watchtower Admits We Should Get Out of Her!!! there will be a drop down menu of which Edit is one click on it and volia!

    Hope that helps.

    I have nothing to offer this thread other than I think it's great pointing to some of the past remarks which the WTS has tried to make go away much to their dismay.
