your going to enjoy the latest rumor i heard why i have not been to meeting for around nine months, i am a homosexual!
i was caught having a drink at one of the gay bars for business, yes people still talk business in bars.
revelation 17:4).and murderers, and fornicators (cf.
During the Bethel purges in 1980 the rumor was that the disfellowshipped ones were gay. Of course, the real reason was apostasy.
As for me the rumor was that I was df'd for reading apostate literature. Actually I didn't read such literature until after I was dif'd.
so, i was thinking - who of the above still has the most influence on current wts doctrine and dogma?.
rutherford obviously created the smokescreen around 1914/607 but overall his work has been superseded i would suggest.. knorr created the various schools and they or their offspring still live on.
wasn't it during his tenure that all the blood doctrine, types/anti types (now chucked away of course), transplants etc came along?

Rutherford, Knorr or Franz - Who has the most influence on doctrine & process now?
SimonSays,
From the above list, I would say The God of Abraham, Jacob, and Isaac along with Jesus.
threads on the newer jw face of public "witnessing" have shared in common the astonishment that jws safely park themselves behind their literature trolleys and exercise incredibly little contact with passersby.
whether the poster is talking about europe or the united states or australia, descriptions here are the same.. literature stands are protective sheilds behind which jws huddle, talking to each other, sipping on their espressos, whilst the disinterested world passes by.
neither the jws nor the passersby catch each others eyes.
i made a thread on reddit regarding questions jw's can't answer.
was wondering what you guys can add to it..
For JWs with at least a grain of knowledge:
I say: What is the biblical foundation for 1914? (Don't ever bring up 607 versus 587!)
He/she says: Nebuchadnezzar's dream where a tree was cut down and the King of Babylon turned insane.
I say: So when did the king of Babylon regain his insanity? During the 7 years or after it?
He/she says: Afterwards, of course.
I say: So If the King regained his insanity after the 2520 days then why have the nations, whom he symbolizes, not gained their sanity after the 2520 years but have only become worse?

"Have lions Always eaten Meat? Will they eat meat in the Paradise? (Usually get the Answer No) Then why do they have sharp teeth and claws? What about maggots? Or Valtures? Are they also going to become Vegitarian?"
Creationists in general - not just JWs - claim that animals that have sharp teeth were strict vegetarians. The Panda is an example of the animals with sharp teeth they claim existed before the flood. Pandas live on a diet of bamboo yet they have sharp teeth. What they don't realize is that Pandas do scavenge meat when they run into a dead animal. They have been caught on video doing that.
Then there are the ridiculous claim of many Creationists that the sharp teeth of dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus Rex was used to eat palm trees.
As for the rest of the predatory world they claim that it was Adam and Eve's sin that somehow ruined creation creating carnivory amongst animals and parasitism in other organisms.
a recent wacktower had hinted that the year 2034 would be the final date for armaggedon.
if armageddon has not arrived by 2035 then will the wts close shop for good or will they simply accuse the past presidents of apostacy and regroup to form another daughter of the tower offshoot baseless religion?.
.
Fisherman, "Lets be truthful."
You're not being truthful. You read what I said above. 10,000 people heard it though most of them are either dead, not in the religion or totally forgot that absurdity. 1975 wasn't quite the end of the 6,000 years of man's existence because Freddy elaborated on the "Adam and Eve gap". Do you even know what that was?

Fisherman, "Things can change in a snap."
Nothing has changed in 137 years of false prophecies in a snap or otherwise. Religion if anything will grow as society becomes more impoverished. Religion thrives on misery and there will be plenty of misery yet to come. And no, that misery has nothing to do with what the Bible has to say about the end.

Fisherman,
"The same hysteria that happened in 1975 by a bunch of clueless self promoting people within the organization that were in essence confused or just studying."
That's a damn lie. I was there in 1974 and I heard a talk given to 10,000+ people in attendance by none other than Frederick Franz. He said that the end might happen within a few months or a few years after 1975 but not decades.
