The pyramids and rutherford.......
by atomant inlve been researching the early days of the jw"s and found some very damning information which needs to be discussed at length.according to my research it is claimed that early founders used the pyramids to work out important biblical dates that are now dates set in stone according to the beliefs of the sect and can not be changed as it would rock the very foundation upon which their beliefs are built.l was hoping for somone with a precise understanding to please elaborate whether this is true or not.

It appears that the only date that the Watchtower cannot change is 1914. It is at the center of their fraudulent claim that they are a 'prophet' who are able to predict world events (Like WWI).
As far as to how they came up with 1914 - it was supposed to be the beginning of the Millennium - it was biblical chronology that was the key line of 'evidence' with the pyramids merely serving to corroborate it. The pyramids were considered important but not the primary argument.
As far as Joseph Rutherford is concerned he jettisoned the whole pyramid nonsense and even said it was of the devil.

Quality of newer membership
by Lostandfound inon a previous post mamacita29 pointed up the low quality of new jw converts.. is the quality falling even more as the society use lower than low meeting, talks, broadcasts etc.. when i was active initially the organisation and standards seemed totally different today.
i have seen hard working intelligent elders fall by death or exhaustion.
the younger generation that came along never really grasped responsibility hence shortage of good elders, never mind the watered down to almost nothing quality of meetings.

"Delaware law requires any individual or organization suspecting child abuse to report it. But then it gets confusing. The law allows an exemption for a priest who learns of abuse during a “sacramental confession,” wording that suggests a privilege specifically for clergy in the Catholic Church."
You cannot have denomination specific laws. The elders do have a legal case (by analogy). Not that I agree at all but that's how the law is phrased.

'Theomatics' is nothing but biblical mysticism; an attempt to find meaning where there is none. -

A philosophical question .... what does the word God mean to you personally ?
by Finkelstein into myself it means to seek knowledge and understanding of are selves and the world in which we live.. unfortunately history has shown whenever one tries to connect to god and of his knowledge through men who say they themselves are connected to god through spiritual wifi ie.
gb members of the jehovah's witnesses for example, one usually ends up finding a accumulation of only man's acquired knowledge.
over thousands of years of trying to connect to a god(s) for help and answers, mankind has eventually relinquished himself to seeking answers through scientific investigative acquired knowledge of the world in which we live in.
