  I was wrong, CT Russell was something of a prophet after all...

  i am reading studies in the scriptures (1911) thy kingdom come..on page 145 ct russell describes what is wrong with religions of his day and their sunday schools & bible studies, ie people belong to earthly religions or organisations.

  was he describing other sects of his day, or did he forsee what his bible students would eventually become?

  methods hinder real growth in knowledge of truth...guarded, pointed questions, with prepared answers and no time left for the bible hungry student...bible study, skilfully directed, so that he may get no new ideas...brief sessions [one hour] more agreeable than bible study...they are led to feel they have performed a duty, and a sacrifice.

  Well, there you go. His one true prophesy, expressed as a critique of organized religion, is what the organization he helped found would become.

  Maybe the Judge read this before bedtime one night, after hoisting a few at dinner, and got an "angelic" vision (New Light!) that instead of this passage describing something negative, it was really informing him of how to best get those pesky independant Bible Students in line with his idea of a "real" religion.

  C.T. Russell had his problems for sure, but if there is a Satan, the "Judge" had to be one of his favored sons.

  I think I'm going to take some time to adjust to this new apostate hat I'm wearing before I jump into celebration mode. I don't know that I'm ready for a flag, but I wouldn't mind watching some fireworks...maybe next year.

  So, Annie, How's your day going? I think I need to crack open a bottle of Corona, sit back and see if minimus shows up in this thread again. LOL

  Oh...I think I get what you mean about feeling sub-human in some of these discussions...on a couple of levels.

  Oops, that doesn't sound good. Maybe you are watering too much? Although, I'm wondering how the mushroom spore got there in the first place. LOL

  Hmmm, you could give her a scare, Quotes, and threaten to turn over her email as well as your thoughts on how she determined that poor Dan has a "vast array" of porn on his PC to the real Borg Tower.

  Naughty, naughty! Sister Snoop should have closed her eyes and gotten off the 'puter after finding the first porn pic. She prolly got quite the illicit little thrill from both checking out the nasty porn and going thru her friend's personal stuff. Bet she checks out people's medicine cabinets too. Guess tattling and getting others in trouble makes it okay to be a sneaky coward..

  Interesting article, Danny.

  Joker, sorry, without proof, that story is just another entry in the Dub Book Of Myths & Fairytales.

  I agree, talesin! Do whatever you have to to get the dubs to stop pestering you, as long as you refrain from violence. Look what happened to poor little Richie's hand! It's horrible to let your animal attack anybody, but especially older folks and kids. Shouldn't a call to the KH and a request to be put on their "do not call" list be sufficient or are the JW's not honoring that any more?

  Mothers Doubts: Latest Update

  by diamondblue1974 in

  2. friends

  further to my previous thread i thought i would share an update with you on the situation with my mother... .

  essentially my mother has been a jw for 30 years and we had a long conversation which involved me running through my reasons for no longer going to the meetings; she seemed quite receptive and agreed for me to send the documents and articles relating to the un.

  well that very evening she went to see her elders without actually seeing the documents and asked about the un saga....apparently the elder told her that 'this was all sorted out ages ago and yes this has come from the apostates' 'the society has never been a member of the un and that this just a hoax designed to stumble people....' hmmn.

  I think you are wise to let it go. At this point in her life, I'd leave her to her comfortable delusions. If she's happy with her situation, I'm not sure what would be gained by trying to somehow force her to see the rotting drywall under the pretty painting.

  I hope she can find it in her heart not to shun you after the DAing.
