I have noted that the online Watchtower library shows no article on Mother's Day in Awake or the Watchtower. Am I right??,...if so, it seems that the organization hates more Christmas and Birthdays than Mother's day. Doesn't it?.

Mother's day according to Joseph Rutherford
by opusdei1972 inthis is what the second president of the watchtower society, the channel of god appointed in 1919, wrote about the mother's day:.
satan would turn the people away from this beautiful symbol, and therefore from god, and cause them to disregard the word of the lord.
this he does in a very subtle way by organizing what in england and in america, the chief countries of christendom, is called "mother's day".

When I discovered the old books and Magazines written by Rutherford and Woodworth, my eyes were quickly oppened. So, I realized that the founders of the Watchtower policies were mentally ill. After that I decided to stop attending the meetings. -

There is more on that Watchtower's book:
The women make monkeys or dupes of men. The men have become effeminate, soft and easily influenced,
and have lost their real manhood and sturdiness in the affairs of state and home. For instance, when
men are sitting at a table and a woman approaches, all the men arise and pay her homage and thereby
elevate her to a place above men. The men remove their hats upon entering an elevator, if a woman is
present; and these things are said to be acts of respect and to show that a man is a gentleman. But it
is subtle, and the real meaning is much different from that. It is a scheme of Satan to turn men away from
God and from his announced rule of the proper position of man and woman. The Lord has declared that
no effeminate man shall inherit the kingdom of heaven. (Vindication, pages 156-157) -

Satan would turn the people away from this beautiful symbol, and therefore from God, and cause them to disregard the Word of the Lord. This he does in a very subtle way by organizing what in England and in America, the chief countries of Christendom, is called "Mother's Day". This day began to be observed in England, in 1913. That same year the United States Congress, by resolution, made the second Sunday in May of each year a national holiday, "dedicated to the memory of the best mother in the world, your mother. " That sounds nice, and on the face of it looks nice; but is it sincere? and what is the real purpose thereof ? Do the men of England and America love their mothers better since 1914 than they did before ? Certainly not. Is it true that every man '8 mother is the" best mother in the world"? Everyone knows that is not true. (Vindication, page 158)
Wow!, certainly, the Channel of God hated his mother.

Why doe New light tick me off???? Next 2 weeks WT Studies
by zophar inif you have been a jw for 20+ years you may remember that the wt went into great detail on different illustrations that jesus used and the "type/anti-type" ridiculous explanations.
remember the revelation book and how those obscure jw conventions of the past pictured big things in heaven and the opening of seals?
anyway, the wt lessons for the next two weeks do two big things for me.

For many years I found the Bible's accounts as true facts, now I know that many of them are inventions of men. -

Newton versus Watchtower quackery

down through the ages, talented scientists have indeed made surprising breakthroughs in their search for answers to puzzling questions about nature.
some, however, have also made serious errors in the process.

The following is a Watchtower's criticism against Newton:
Down through the ages, talented scientists have indeed made surprising breakthroughs in their search for answers to puzzling questions about nature. Some, however, have also made serious errors in the process. Isaac Newton was one of the greatest scientists of all time. He showed how the force of gravitation binds the planets, stars, and galaxies into one universe. He invented calculus, a branch of mathematics used in computer design, space travel, and nuclear physics. However, Newton also pursued alchemy, a pseudoscience that used astrology and magical formulas in attempts to turn lead and other metals into gold.
http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/wp20150601/limitations-of-science/
Yes, Newton was not perfect, but at least his contributions are still in use in many fields, nevertheless, there is no Watchtower prediction without fail. Also, the book (The Bible), by which the Watchtower bases its doctrine, teaches that the earth has four angles.

The GB says that we shouldn't watch and see things that Jesus wouldn't like. So I would like to ask them, do you think that Jesus would like to see that cartoon?....who drew it???. Ohh it was the channel of God appointed in 1919. So, Jesus wants us to see it. -

Did Ray Franz ever address his thoughts on atheism?
by JWINQUESTION indoes anybody know if ray franz ever addressed his thoughts on atheism?
from what i've read, he was a diligent reader of the bible.
if anybody has any info and sources about this, it is highly appreciated.

I think that if Ray had left the Society in his 30s, he could have much more time to analyze the falsehood of the Bible. At least, he would conclude that the Bible can't be inerrant. May be he noticed that in many passages of the Old Testament while researching for the Aid book, but he kept quiet.
