does jehovah know what is going on, and does he help?.
(as told by bro.
spangenberg, c.o.
The sand story was making the rounds back in the sixties....
Then there's the story about the guy who stood vigil with a shotgun on the front steps of a kh because a mob showed up to burn the hall down. The mob feared the guy because he was a powerful, well known local gangster. There were two versions of this story; one, the guy's wife and children were in the kh. The other story was his parents and siblings were in attendance. Oh yeah, he later became a well respected jw brother.
there are at least two major religious movements contained within the wtbts, as shown below.
probably evangelical as well.
seems the pastor reached his hand into anything and everything he could, terry and others have made a very good case for russell's cherry picking.
Perhaps Heinz 57 would have been more appropriate, eh?... Point is, Russell cherry picked from various sources, shuffled the deck and created an adventist, evangelical, dispensationalist movement. Even with the changes Rutherford, Knorr and Franz made, tell a jw they are an adventist( etc ) movement they would squeal like a stuck pig.
Even with the wtbts spin their JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES IN THE DEVINNE PURPOSE, published around 1959, is the only wt publication to come closest to their true history, as a movement. That's another thing, they are NOT a church, or religion, they are an Adventist movement that dispenses their brand of adventist belief through their publishing house literature. That, in my opinion, is not emphasized enough.

I am in awe...
just noticed three tornado warnings that included dallas, arlington, and fort worth.
nws text for these warnings stated that there were two "large and extremely dangerous tornadoes" confirmed on the ground in the area.
james_woods or terry, what's the scoop?.

Called Terry this afternoon, he recently moved to Arlington, said they dodged the bullet and were doing fine. James Woods good to hear your ok....
Rabbit don't you know God spends all his time making sure the details are kept in order. You know, what type of sex is allowed with your mate, blood , Gay's God got no time for the BIG things. Besides, if we don't follow the details we deserve to get slam dunked with tornado's and earthquakes.
Am sending out positive thoughts to all our JWD friends caught up in the weather. Be safe.

Hey Rabbit glad you and the missis are ok....Had the same storm system blow through Weatherford. All we got was lots of heavy rain. I was leaving Ft. Worth drove into the strom as it headed North East. Ever do 70 mph on the Interstate in a heavy rain? It's skeerry. Should have my head examined.
i have a personal theory about russell, rutherford and franz.. it extends to end times religious people in general.. that is, highly intelligent...end times believers.... .
there is a tension to believing something that never seems to overlap with reality.. your intelligence keeps flashing "something's wrong".. but, your deeply held convictions (faith) tells you to shut the f**k up!.
so, you live your live with a "gnawing" away at your brain.
Please forgive the rather ghoulish comparison. But, I feel the psychology is the same!......(Terry)
The wtbts has done more damage to individuals, family's, than Manson ever thought of, due to their shunning, blood, neutrality doctrines. The comparison is citing the physiology of how a leader or leaders attempt to cause self full fling prophesies. If WE do this, then surly this will happen.
