"Great Crowd" important detail glossed over

by neat blue dog in

the latest study wt gives another glowing report from rutherford's time:.

in his talk, brother rutherford identified those whowould make up the “great multitude” (king james ver-sion), or “great crowd,” mentioned at revelation 7:9. un-til then, this group was thought to be a secondary heav-enly class that was less faithful.

brother rutherford usedthe scriptures to explain that the great crowd are notchosen to live in heaven, but they are christ’s othersheep who will survive “the great tribulation”.

The latest study WT gives another glowing report from Rutherford's time:

In his talk, Brother Rutherford identified those who
would make up the “great multitude” (King James Ver-
sion), or “great crowd,” mentioned at Revelation 7:9. Un-
til then, this group was thought to be a secondary heav-
enly class that was less faithful. Brother Rutherford used
the Scriptures to explain that the great crowd are not
chosen to live in heaven, but they are Christ’s other
sheep who will survive “the great tribulation”

. . .

According to an eyewit-
ness, over half of the some 20,000 peo-
ple in the audience stood. Then Broth-
er Rutherford declared: “Behold! The
great multitude!” That was followed by
thunderous cheering. Those who stood
realized that they were not chosen for
heavenly life.

But what they fail to emphasize is that this declaration was demonstrably false, even by JWs own teachings. These people were NOT the great Crowd as they believe it to be, as they pretty much are all dead by now without "coming out" of the great tribulation into the new world. So this was a lie, along with Rutherford's words that only "weeks" remained for the old world. Of course that doesn't matter, as it is still just around the corner, as the article goes on to say:

With the great tribulation just ahead,
it would be encouraging for us to review
what Revelation chapter 7 further says

friends

sex issues seem to be the number one reason but apostasy is right up there too.

even if you weren’t disfellowshipped , do you know why some people you know were disfellowshipped?

Why not help 'the friends' with the wealth?

by neat blue dog in

in the new testament, when funds were collected, they were distributed to all, not hoarded at hq (not that there was an hq).

of course now they're fraudulently taking credit for the government's free food program, but what about other things, unlike disaster relief, that don't get them publicity and credit?

for instance, the latest jwdotorg article about azerbaijan says this:.

One brother was repeatedly convicted and fined, eventually paying a total of . . . $11,375 . . .
Some brothers and sisters were even arrested because they could not pay the exorbitant fines.

Why not get them out of jail, or help all the others who've been paying fines? They could probably do it all out of the interest they make alone, instead of all the excessive and extravagant furnishings and electronics that they've deemed 'necessary'?

Anthony Morris wants former Jehovah's Witnesses DEAD

by neat blue dog in

in a disgusting new video, anthony morris iii talks about apostates, and brings to mind his 'hot dog' talk all over again as he anticipates the demise of ex-jehovah's witnesses.

i don't know if you're familiar with maggots, but when you see a whole bunch of them it's not a pleasant sight.. .

what a fitting picture of the final end of all of god's enemies.

Wow, excellent point Funky. A psychopath hiding in plain sight!

That's what makes me mad: He's talking about people who have been mentally abused, maybe physically too, as well as those who have actually thought and researched and can no longer accept the lies and want to warn others, but he speaks like they're worthless scum.

THIS VIDEO NEEDS TO BE USED IN COURT EVIDENCE WHEN JW LAWYERS TRY TO SAY THAT JWS ARE FREE TO LEAVE AND THEY DON'T DEMONIZE EX MEMBERS.

. . . What a fitting picture of the final end of all of God's enemies
. . . How reassuring that they're finally all gonna be gone, all these despicable enemies . . . finally, they're out of the way, especially these despicable apostates who at one point dedicated their life to God and then they join forces with Satan

He then says that "we eagerly await" their destruction. Then after saying "I thought this would be a nice memory aid", he takes out a match, lights it, and then blows it out. After laughter from the audience he concludes:

That's Jehovah's enemies. They're gonna vanish like smoke.

Today s wt

by road to nowhere in

quote from the introduction:.

some apparently claimed to have received a special, mystical knowledge from god.e but their teaching contradicted jesus’ message and encouraged selfishness and a lack of love.

so john calls these teachers antichrists, or those who teach against christ.

Yeah the audience and conductor were ramping up the paranoia about 'apostates' and their videos in the comments this morning.

Is Nicolas King still active/in good standing?

by neat blue dog in

on a temporary public instagram story he said he misses wearing suits, and wonders if he can fit into one still.. however as most american jws know, suit jackets are almost universally required to give parts on meetings, even a simple bible reading (zoom meetings included).

i always wondered how he could be on the school anyway, with such a busy schedule he had going from one casino, etc.

even weekly door to door would be next to impossible.. .
