  I heard some ridiculous absurd argument the other day about this incident, how did it go... oh yeah something about you have to shun "people like this" to send a message and a reminder so things wouldn't go back to the days of pre WWII and because Hitler.

  Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......

  Funny they didn't say that when some baker declined the business to bake a cake.

  Honestly, the selective outrage would be hilarious if not really scary😫

  Drop Off in Mentioning 1914

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  videos from the summer jw conventions ("be courageous) show the "urgency" about the end racheted up several notches.

  paranoia rules supreme!.

  curiously, though, very few, if any, statements in the convention program about 1914 and the overlapping generations.

  "Always wrong but never in doubt" should be on his tombstone.

  V - Do you think Russell and Rutherford were sincere christians just trying to do what the Lord "Jehovah" directed them to do ?

  Has WT asked you to write this history, did you need help from them in some areas? Just wondering what WT think of it do they approve?
