  There is no 1900 year old faithful and discreet slave

  by Longlivetherenegades in

  now that the long-expected kingdom had become an established reality in heaven, surely its growing interests in the earth after 1919 would not be left in the hands of a novice organization of spiritual babes.

  and that proved to be true.

  it was the 1900-year-old “faithful and discreet slave,” the old christian congregation, that was entrusted with this precious kingdom service.

  Do the Society teach that the F&DS have been here all 1900 years?

  I thought the belief was that the illustration applied solely to the “ time of the end…”

  I don’t really care about beards but I had to take a look at Uncle Sam’s . Some look good and others don’t - and this one doesn’t in my opinion… Uncle Remus , Father Christened… the similarities abound… oh well. I am sure that is all they will remember from the video never mind what he said.

  I know several older , unwell dubs that will not be happy at the exhortation to attend in person… They feel that the ones who cannot are looked down on. I know he briefly said at the end that they could still stream but …….

  It is wrong that the JWs are so persecuted in Putin’s Russia ..they should not have to endure that .

  what warnings are the cult giving the "sheeple?".

  in the study article on page 20 - "are you heeding the warnings?

  ", jw's are threatened what their fate will be if they don't support the elite, "anointed" jw's, the 33 degree aka, the self-appointed gibbering body - they will be toast very soon:.

  When the May WT printed the new understanding of Jesus’ judgement at the time of the end and admitted “ We just don’t know “ the details of who would live or die or get a resurrection……. I knew that it would not take long for them to roll back on that and start to crack the whip again. The want them out on the ministry.

  I don’t know what you are on, “ FragrentAddendum” but it sure beats me , where you are coming from.

  Torture for ideological reasons is very very wrong, no matter from where it come or to whom it is applied.

  ” He was barely able to walk," she said. [ his wife]"Every part of his body was hurting. His hands were shaking and his face was smashed."

  She said that despite the torture, Kiramov did not give them the information they sought.”

  No matter what you think of his religion, you have to admire his balls !

  I have only seen the 2 minute taster that Stephen Lett showed once. I remember that I was not very impressed.. Mary is told that she , a single girl is to become pregnant and she hardly reacted at all. I would have had some shock horror at the news … that she surely must have felt..

  Babylon the Great has fallen!" God's Kingdom rules! (1963)

  I well remember this book and what a big deal it was at the time. It seemed that we had a God given duty to expose old Babylon for what she was …. Much of it was based on a book by a Rev. J Hislop, “ TheTwo Babylons” . It seems that F Franz took his ideas and ran with them further.

  I just checked the online indexes and it seems that the last reference to the Fall of B the G was in 1988. So it seems to be quietly have been allowed to slip under the radar although not actually denied…

  I went through it quickly, picking out the convention clips . No offence to Mike and Kim,, I respect the work they do, but I find their style just too much to take. I would rather see what they have from the convention and make up my own mind.

  I found nothing remarkable in the programme. Why do they pick the most boring speakers for this stream? The only exception was the baptism talk .. that guy was animated and different to the rest .

  the daftest one i ever met --in the UK --was John Blaney.…..

  He was not daft. He was brilliant but also strange, bizarre. He had a gi- normous ego and truly a “one- off” . There was never another like him.

  Despite his faults , I woould love to see someone remotely like him today to break up the blandness…

  [edit.. sorry about the formatting and crazy quotes.. they came with original quote and I can’t get rid of them ]
