  How Are JW's Sins Forgiven?

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  matthew 9:6 but that ye may know that the son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.. .

  john 1:12 but as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of god, even to them that believe on his name:.

  why did we beg for jehovah's forgiveness at every prayer when clearly the son has this authority?.

  If the WTS is not a False Prophet, what is it? surely the Bible identifies them as Apostates

  by jookbeard in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  through out the wts history it has claimed to be the only channel that god has selected to be his mouthpiece on earth, it calls itself ; the greater david, the jonnadab class, the faithful and discreet slave, the elijah class, the fulfillers of trumpet blasts in revelation, so on and so forth.

  yet from it's inception by ct russel it promoted a unique brand of biblical beliefs that were meant to be accepted as bible truth, 1799 1874/1914, miracle wheat, the pleiades star constellation, the occult content found in the studies in the scriptures/divine plan of the ages etc, would jesus himself have selected a religious group who were promoting such beliefs?

  impossible, also russel was embroiled in a serious sex scandal that was never satisfactorily answered.. the reign of joe rutherford whose first proclamation was to announce that he had served as a district judge, which was shown to be a lie, he went on to build beth sharim a luxurious house in expectation of the resurrection to earth of the faithful worthies , a failed prophecy that surprisingly failed to come true.

  Announcement Letter of Russell's Death

  by startingover in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i found this original letter in my families archives.

  don't know why the second page is discolored but it's original.. it's interesting the mention of the toga on the second page, and that they called the magazine "the tower".

  Russell and the Miracle Wheat Scandal

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  he truly was a crook, wasn't he?!?

  i found this article on the brookly daily eagle website reminiscing about this scandal.

  evidently, the newspaper outed him on this scheme and printed a cartoon of russell and his miracle wheat, and so russell sued them and lost!

  The Trinity ( arguement to end all arguments I hope )

  by 5go in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i pretty much don't think much of christendom.

  but why do christians insist on holding such an unholdable position with the trinity.. the bible i agree holds proof for both trinity and nontrinity positions.. i still don't get why that christians other than catholics would hold such an untenable position as god came down to earth but didn't, and he prayed ( talked ) to himself a lot.. .

  i remember a comedy sketch were some kids were stumping a nun in catholic school with question on the trinity and the eurachrist..

  Can YOU identify this photo (1914 Rapture?)

  by AlphaOmega in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i need help identifying the source of this photo, which purports to show the watchtower crowd going up to the top of the mount of olives in 1914 awaiting the rapture.. .

  i would like to show this photo to several jws along with the article in the october 8 1968 awake, which says.... true, there have been those in times past who predicted an end to the world, even announcing a specific date.

  some have gathered groups of people with them and fled to the hills or withdrawn into their houses waiting for the end.yet nothing happened.

  Charles T Russell -a freemason and the connection to the illuminati...

  by dolphman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok, i'm not one for conspiracy theories but lately i've uncovered some interesting facts that i think warrant some attention.. first of all, russell was a freemason.

  all the early watchtower and books he authored have freemason symbology and art throughout them.

  not a big deal i thought, until i read more about freemasons and the so-called "illuminati", a group of 13 families that supposedly control the world.. supposedly these 13 families, such as the duponts, mcdonalds, kennedys, .

  The C.T. Russell pyramid

  by Nathan Natas in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i wrote this thinking that maybe some of our new folks would enjoy it, but i think i may have given the posting a bad or misleading subject line, because it has been little read and not commented on at all.

  tell me how much the story sucks, and why it sucks as much as it does.

  si vous plait.

  Russell; an unoticed freemason ?

  by chasson in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  russell an unnoticed freemason ?.

  according to the partisans of russell's membership of the freemasonry, the russells, father and son, would have been particularly important masons, proves by the fact that russell would have build an masonic organization to realize the claimed purpose of the the freemasonry: a plot to destroy christianity.. .

  obviously in support of their thesis, these partisans do not bring any masonic document proving the membership of the father and the son to the masonry.
