in 1953 and on through 1963 the watchtower taught that the superior authorities of romans 13 were jehovah god and christ jesus.
then changed back to believeing they were political governments in 1963 and on to the present.
during the time the society held that the interpretation should be jehovah and christ many were disfellowshiped for not accepting this view.

i am primarily posting this to barbara anderson, but obviously everyone is welcome to correct or comment on my remarks as they see fit.
mrs. anderson, i realize that trying to cover all bases in your pending russell bio would be impossible, but i do hope that you will be able to include a section on the first president of the watch tower society, william h. conley.
i hope that you have had a chance to research conley with some degree of thoroughness, so as to dispel some of the half-truths that some bible students and jws try to promote (such as that conley's age and health caused his inactivity with russell after 1881).
WOW! As they say in investigative journalism always do a regression analysis.Just where did it all come from?
My old time JW grandfather told many 'bed time' stories about this stuff.
Apostates 'R smart people and now we have databases a click of the mouse we are in.
since finding out more about the wtbts over the last year, it has come as no surprise to me anymore that the deceptive actions of the mother (wtbts) are seen in some of her children.
the need for double thinking, self deluding beliefs and sneaky, twisted belief and thought patterns that i have noticed over the years in so many jws suddenly makes sense and is no longer scandalising or suprising.. so when i was told of the behaviour of a 'fine, upstanding, pillar of the community, brother' i simply shrugged.
however, the results of his behaviour are not something to simply shrug your shoulders over.. it turned out for the last thirty years of his being married he has conducted affairs with another two 'sisters' in the congregation.
The ones that wasted their lives did so based in their own free will at the time.
Ya right,and those who invested in Enron corporation did so with their "own free will".
Ditto Jonestown & the kool-aid.
If the Watchtower couldn't cower behind freedom of religion their officer's would all be doing time for their fraud in the name of God
Who does God hate most,WT false 'profits' or the corporate board of Enron?[Matthew 25:30]
I know of MANY JW elders who were first class whoremasters,there was so much dub dog-eat-dog egotistical competition over woman, that i know of several MS's in my last congregation who were eaten up with jealousy over my 50k a year job and my job description as a welder (a skill that could qualify me on overseas WT construction projects) that they went ape s**t over it.
I was a low key guy but to them just the thought of me coming back with a hot overseas babe made them go NUTS.
Excuse me,are these the salt of the earth who will inherit it?No,they are the scum of the earth.
the next time you fall into pessimism ( it happens to me too!
) consider the year 1968.. the war in vietnam was raging, the us lost its 10,000th airplane in the war, the tet offensive took place, johnson gave up in seeking.
another term as president, the russians invaded czechoslovakia, robert kennedy was murdered, martin luther king was murdered,.
MORE- the red phone in the white house was ringing off the hook trying to contact Krushnef (sic) who complicated the translating because he was a russian redneck who spoke pig-russian and they couldn't understand what he was saying.
Historians say that the blowhard russian dictator loved children and that's why he backed off so they wouldn't die.
Of course in the book study we were told that Jehovah's angels who are holding back the four winds intervened because the sealing of the 144,000 was incomplete.

Roger that-The closest we came in my opinion was the cuban missle crisis here in the states my parents the congregation and everyone else was in terror.
Yet they did know the half of what really transpired.There were FOUR TIMES as many city busting 12-25 megaton missiles than Kennedy's intell knew about.
The russian boys had no fail safe on their crews each launcher had a single key and one button to launch as easy as staring up a car.The decision to launch was made by the individual crew chief and they were drunks.
Down in the ocean there was a soviet sub with broken air conditioning going mad in 120 F. degree heat the American navy was dropping hand granades in the water to simulate depth charges to terrorize them NOT knowing they had a nuclear torpedo in the tube
With all due respect the events of Sept 11 2001 was nothing.
i have this theory.. someone once said to me.....' its no good coming into the truth if you are a sensitive person.'.
i have found in my experience as a former elder that a lot of elders have very large egos.
my theory is this:.
The scum floats to the top
Countless members and ex-members can testify that there is much strife, seeking undue authority, and trickery in the Watchtower organization.
James 3:14-18:
14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. 15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic.
16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing.
17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.
18 And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
Romans 1:28-32:
28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper,
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,
31 without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful;
32 and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.
2 Corinthians 11:12-15:
12 But what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the matter about which they are boasting.
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.

faded after being a MS for years in my KH, and I still talk to my family, members of the KH that I happen to see in the streets with no problem. Elders don't harrass me when I see them.
Post your real name & pic and see if they don't harrass you watchtower leaders are the control freaks with a mean streak-Danny Haszard Bangor Maine
