  What Does the WTS say is the mark for survival of Armaggeddon--Baptism

  if you have not yet come to know and to accept as a way of life the righteous decrees of jehovah, you have no time to lose.

  you must act quickly if you are to stand before jehovah’s executional forces with the mark of true christian identification.

  cantleave replied thus:

  "Many years ago in the 60's, there was one particular guy who pretty much led his own cult. Half the Congregation eent off the rails and what was left was merged with Titchfield/ Fareham congregation."

  from the above wikipedia link

  Britain[edit]

  Jesse Hemery was appointed overseer of the Watch Tower Society's British Isles branch office by Russell in 1901,[1] holding that post until 1946.[2] Hemery founded the Goshen Fellowship after he was disfellowshipped by Nathan H. Knorr in 1951.[2]

  wow--i never knew that. 50 years as branch servant--then--fired.

  i am head over heels in love with a man who was raised jw.

  i believe he is fighting demons, however, and is torn between what his heart wants to do, his beliefs, his depression & lack of self confidence.

  he has had 2 wives.

  when i was a teenage regular pioneer the monthly requirement was 100 hours.

  you have to laugh--a regular pioneer is an unpaid volunteer--yet is expected to reach certain targets,
