1) many who were on the destructive path have been transformed by their teachings (this includes me who was once vicious, and presumptuous and atheistic).
2) equal monthly pay to all members of the bethel community regardless of whether they are bc members or sweepers.
this is something that still remains as an unattainable dream for the world.

what kind of a man wears any other ring than the wedding ring????
So weird!. The gold on his hands draws my attention, can not listen!
These gov body members must be the most self-centered vain smugs ever existed in the gov body. They do not miss a chance to appear on camera, unless, of course, a royal commission calls them. Then they try anything to evade the camera.
A bunch of presumptuous delusional old men.
i realize that rutherford received a flash of light regarding the identity of the gc in the year 1935, but that does not tell us when the crowd began to form.
what would be the earliest date?
any ideas or quotes from wt literature?
what will be the end game whether in a few years, our lifetime, or hundreds + years from now.
bible prophecy did say israel / jews would be scattered then eventually brought back.
russell was declaring that and it was believed before being changed shortly before it happened.
Totally agree!!!
People don't realise that one of the prophecies not yet fulfilled about Jesus is that God would give Him the throne of his father David - one of the first things said about Jesus, right before he was born, when Gabriel was announcing his birth.
The small rock that would distroy all other kingdoms is Israel ruled by Jesus.
This is one of the points that jw's get wrong.
i bet jesus would have been df'd by the "elders" in his day.
lets think about it, jesus hung out with "worldly" people.
his closest friends were known prostitutes, money collectors, men of "prominence" in the world of that day, non "beleivers" of the "faith" like samaritans, and many others that todays "elders" would have deemed "unworthy".. jesus spoke against the "organization" and "elders" of his day.
do any of you ex-jw's still believe in god?
even with the new rebranding/softening of this religion, i still don't see how people can believe in him.
the god of the old testimate is an angry murderer who approved rapes and slavery and killed thousands of men, women and children.
@cofty
I believe the bible is the word of God. If you read the Bible, the hope is composed of:
- kingdom of God coming
- immortality for believers
This is what I believe!!
i just read an email from a friend, and she shared some very interesting emails from her friends about information on changes now happening at the bethels around the world.
here is the email: .
---------------------------------thanks sally, jesus is directing the org and all decisions and instructions to us may not seem practical from now on, neither will we understand the reasonings behind many of the changes that the organization makes.
first off, i'd like to state that i currently have "privileges" in the congregation and volunteer at bethel on and off throughout the year.
that's as much information as i will currently give about myself.. starting off, i think something big is coming in the form of lawsuits and bad pr.
they seem to be batting down the hatches in preparation for something the last few years and even more so the last few months.
@ thedepressedsoul
Thank you for your insight. Very interesting. I'm also looking forward to see how things will develop.
I am still a jw, but inactive ... I think I will stay a little more to see how things go..

@ cofty
I think the kingdom of God where Jesus will rule is a true doctrine, just that Jesus will be here on earth. I do not believe the purpose of God is to transform this planet in a paradise. I believe the purpose of God is to give immortality to some people, to people who believe and love God.
Jesus preached 2 things: the kingdom and immortality. Not eternal life as a flesh and blood human being as the jw's say, immortality as a new kind of human being, the new creation, a type of human being with unperishable bodies, like Jesus was after resurrection.

I do, absolutely. studied a lot and the Bible is more clear to me now.
I think that the jw's are close but not the whole truth, they have some things that still comes from false doctrine.
They are right about no trinity, about the soul, about the kingdom on earth, but there are many other doctrines where they are somewhere between the mainstream christianity and the Bible.
