I posted about the absolute pacifism of the Hutterites, which is a post-WWI doctrine WT boasts about. I never mentioned the Hutterites core doctrine of communal living, based on first-century Christianity. If Jesus were to choose the most sincere group in 1919, it would have been an Anabaptist group.

If Jesus had to choose his earthly organisation NOW, who would win?
by stuckinarut2 inwe all know that the society claims that jesus invisibly chose the bible students (forerunners of jw) in 1919 to be his organization here on earth.. yet, as we know, so much of what they then taught and did was wrong according to current teaching and practice.. the reply witnesses will give is something like "they were the most sincere seekers of truth blah blah...and jesus could see their potential".
so, pretend for a moment that the current organization and the 1919 organization were both in concurrent existence at the time he invisibly came to choose.... which would he choose?
the current or former?.

Lets be honest, not a little leery of the resurrected ones????
by James Mixon inmaybe i have watched too many zombie movies but i would sleep with one eye open, inquire to see what is your favored menu,do you sleep walk, are your body parts functioning properly (i would hate to shake your hand and it fall off).
your wife never married after 10 years and now you are back, can you perform in the marriage bed?
?it would be hard for me to sleep at nights with someone that have been dead for over one year sleeping next to me.

Sterile clones with selective memory wiped. The clones must be 100% obedient to the "prince" elders as to their scheduled work assignment, living assignment, etc.
WT Aug 15, 2015
If we cooperate with those taking the lead today, perhaps finding contentment and joy in new assignments of service, we are likely to have the same attitude in the new world ... Today, of course, we do not know where each one of us may be assigned to live in the new system of things. However, cooperation will bring us contentment and great happiness as we do Jehovah’s will wherever we live on earth at that time.
Sounds exactly like Rutherford's vision of paradise, alright (well, except for when the females are turned into males).

Lawsuit Settlement Amounts
by Richard Oliver ini have a legitimate question and i am not trying to start a fight.
i keep reading that there were 6 child abuse lawsuits that settled for 13 million dollars.
how do people like barbara anderson or jwsurvey or jwfacts come up with this number?

RO is actually asking a legitimate question this time. Knowing the amount of one settlement cannot automatically be extrapolated to the other settlements. Barbara checks in here from time to time - maybe she can answer.

Whether he is a "worldly person" or a zealous Dub, you cannot just date him. Chaperone required, and no sleeping under the same roof.

Saskatoon and Winnipeg usually have one each. This year, none in all of Sask. nor Manitoba. That is a long drive for the prairie faithful.
No doubt some will miss and be turned into salt.

The Trump Connection
by Coded Logic ini'm a little dumb struck to see that donald trump's first cross word against russia are in support of the jws.. http://fox-news24.com/trump-warns-russia-over-jehovahs-witnesses-ban-and-urges-members-to-seek-asylum-in-the-us/.
is this because trump genuinely values freedom of religion?
or is it because his son in law jared kushner has financial dealings with the jws?
