  as it's highly unlikely i'll ever go to warwick, i found lloyd evans latest video fascinating.

  i had no idea that the whole 'museum' (if you can call it that) was so big.

  notice the credit card machines by the entrance.

  Monthly Broadcast Change

  by Brian J in

  2. beliefs

  the mind numbing gilead graduation part 1/part 2 will now replace the usually fast moving, lets get this family worship over with, monthly broadcasts several times a year.

  praise jehovah for giving us 7 men, who put their underwear on one leg at a time like the rest of us, to help us keep pace with god's sovereign and celestial chariot.

  It was amazing to see how much they still highlighted CT Russel, even though the WT has recently tried to minimise his role!

  And Yes, as Steve2 said, where were all the controversial disturbing parts of Russel's life?

  CT Russell, he loved and supported genocidal militants.

  i have the first volumes of the watchtower from the 1800's to the 1900's.. .

  i will highlight vol.

  2 january 15, 1892 to help the reader understand the truth regarding russell and his supposed appointment as, what the watchtower this year referred to, "he certainly was that minister" ...making vague reference to his being called "the laodicean minister" (found on his tombstone).

  Yes, it is somewhat puzzling to think that Jesus and Jehovah felt that THIS man was the best available in order to convey "The Truth" through.

  "during the 2017 service year, more than 284,000 “rightly disposed” individuals symbolized their dedication to jehovah by water baptism.".

  These guys were raised as devout Mormons. And wow, let me tell you, it is NOT all that different to us!

  They are fun, and very insightful. They cover a wide range of topics, and have some great guests on.

  In some ways they remind me of the Witness raised guys: https://www.theprodigalboys.com/
  

  Do yourself a favour and check them out!

  Does "Hanlon's Razor" apply to the Governing Body?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i recently learned of the term "hanlon's razor".. wikipedia defines it as: .

  hanlon's razor is an aphorism expressed in various ways including "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

  " it recommends a way of eliminating unlikely explanations for a phenomenon (a philosophical razor).. so could it be said that this applies to the gb / society ?.

  Why "Most high"?

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if there were only one god, why do we encounter the expression, "most high god"?.

  is this not indicative of polytheism, and of levels (or degrees) of god-ness?.

  Well, I guess that if he lives on the Pleiades star, he is "most high"
  

  (any new ones here may need to research this old WT teaching)
