  The totalitarian dystopia part of HM is plausible the puritanical part - eh, not so much.

  The complete dumbing down of the general population and a commercialized dystopia on the other hand like in Idiocracy - very plausible.

  I didn't think elders were allowed to make up their own talks/plans anymore?

  An explanation from whoever leaked it would be helpful.

  firstly, i want to be crystal clear how grateful i am for jwn.

  it's been my place of support for over seventeen years and it's the first online space i direct anyone to if they are taking steps out of the cult.

  Shows how desperate the elders are to defibrilate some kind of excitement for preaching.

  What cong hears this "presentation" doesn't matter cuz nobody cares about formal d2d work anymore - d2d is dead.

  JW Refutations of Criticism of Russell and Rutherford

  by Duvduv in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  can someone direct me to jw refutations of the harsh criticisms of charles russell and judge rutherford that are on the internet and youtube?

  i am a fair person and insist on hearing both sides to a controversy.

  in this case, i would like to know what traditional yw responds to such personal criticisms and alleged changes in beliefs.

  You're right was.

  JWs don't care about The two R's. Russell and Rutherford are old news to them and they don't give a toss what they did or believed. When I was in very few, if any, people were interested in WT ancient history. They only care about what the GB are doing now and any criticisms of the old dudes would just bounce off their indoctrinated brains, dismissed with a wave of the hand.
