there are a few jw's i know who believe that when the gb takes a decision this is what happens:.
each member goes into a separate room, prays about something.
after that, they get together and they all have the same thought about the issue.. what are the craziest ideas you heard about the way they are "guided".

when i began formal study of religion and biblical analysis it was like peeling off layer after layer of dark matter, sticky and putrid that had stuck over my eyes and ears and mouth.
i learned that under the watchtower one only builds a widening gap between yourself and the world of biblical academia and scholars.
i used to think i knew a lot because i learned to quote a few scholars or lexicons as a witness.
back in the 50's, when i was just a skinny kid, my father became po of a new congregation.
he'd only been baptised for around 4 years, so his rise was quite remarkable.just one of his flock in the new cachement area was of the "remnant".
this lady was well into her 60's, childless but married.
Ding,
you are right, they created a second class of christians during Rutherford, when the members were over 144.000.
I wish they would have ditched the number.
I did not knew they ditched 1935 to allow gb members who were younger to be anointed, but I think you are right!
Such hypocrites! They do not care about the Bible

I read bout Osiris on wikipaedia. It says nothing you speak of.
I'd say some people, long after Jesus existed added details about Jesus to the myth of Osiris, and created a new myth. That's the deal with legends, can change them as you want, add what you want. Just keep a name or two and it looks old.
You'd better check your sources.

@John Aquila
I found quite a few christian groups who believe in a 1000 year earthy reign of Jesus and the anointed christians.
Please google
one of them, that have a other similar points with jw's (no trinity, no eternal soul) are truthortradition.com or Spirit and truth fellowship stfonline.org
I also think there are some penticostals thst believe in a 1000 earthly Kingdom.

I think beimg anointed and baptised with holy spirit is the true christian hope.
JW's who are of the class of "other sheeps" have the same hope as the "unjust" people who never knew nor learned about Jehovah. And they are preaching the hope of the "unjust".
Proof for this is that their literature never states that Jesus is the mediator between God and other sheeps. They specifically state that Jesus in mediator between Jehovah and ONLY anointed ones.
anointed christians knew that 1914 would mark a turning point regarding divine rulership.
as soon as they discerned the fulfillment of bible prophecy, they boldly declared to others that gods rule had begun.
today, with so much evidence that gods kingdom is already established in heaven, why do the majority of people not accept what this means?

Caleb,
love your posts! Thank you for this info.
On religious vocabulary. I recently realised the true christian hope is the heavenly one. And that the ones going to heaven will come back on earth when Jesus does and will reign / administer the earth for 1000 years under Jesus' Kingship.
I think those people will be somehow transformed and have a "glorified" body. A body similar to the one Jesus had after resurrection.
I find it difficul to express my new found beliefs. JW's vocabulary does not include so many words and expressions for the heavenly hope, for what happens to peple baptised with the holy spirit ...
I know there are denominations who believe what I do now, I suppose I'll have to start reading their materials to find my words.
if it is what page.
It would be normal to mention this to people who study to join the religion.
Also something very important they do not mention: that they consider Jesus the mediator between Jehovah and only the 144.000
They say they are looking for honest people but they are anything but honest. They are so deceiving!!!
