Easy Math for 586/587

by Mrs.Congeniality in

please keep in mind while reviewing this that adding years is actually going back in time.

also keep in mind that i am agreeing with the years of reign with the society not the years.

be open minded when you look at this and you too can see how 586/587 comes about.

What would happen if all of the WTS in-house attorneys quit?

by truth_about_the_truth in

i was wondering, if the wts legal dept.

got overwhelmed with lawsuits and their volunteer attorneys at bethel decided that they couldn't take it anymore and decided to leave bethel, how would this affect the society?.

would the society have to consult outside attorneys?

I once read somewhere that an old(er) man with an open mind is not of much value. By the time you hit sixty, it is expected that you would have formed opinions and preferences.

A closed mind is like a closed book, just a block of wood. (Chinese proverb)

Is this a verse that J.W.s' don't have an answer to?

by hubert in

luke 23:43....jesus said to the "evildoer" (named dismus) next to him on the cross/stake...... "truly i tell you today, you will be with me in paradise.

" (taken from the nwt).. now, jesus went up to heaven (in paradise) after the resurrection, right?.

so, the "evildoer" also went up to heaven in "paradise, with jesus, according to that scripture, and not paradise on earth, even if there is one, according to the watchtowers' teachings about an "earthly paradise".. so, since only 144,000 faithful and discreet slave class will be in heaven with jesus, does that make the "evildoer" that died next to jesus one of the "faithful and discreet"?

There is discrepency as to where the comma is placed in that scripture. Others place the comma in FRONT of the word "today" where the witnesses place the comma AFTER the word "today.

Hey gumdoer! How 'bout if the dubs put that comma where the sun don't shine?

I read somewhere that Russells membership records are filed in the Mother Lodge in Ireland.

This probably came from the Fritz Springmeier book, Bloodlines of the Illuminati, on page 335. If Russell WAS a Mason, he most probably was a "hidden" one, and for that reason I don't think anyone will be getting copies of his membership records.

Bart Erhman, transformation complete?

by peacefulpete in

bart began as a fundamentalist like ourselves but in time his studious nature led him to critical bible scholarship.

his books are viewed as authoritative.

in an interesting interview he recounts this transformation and hints that he has finally left the conviction that there ever was a historical jesus, or that personage/s whose lives are reflected in certain episodes in the legend served merely as sources for the jesus character.
