  well, i guess it's time i came clean.

  i've actually been seeking reinstatement for almost six months now.

  by getting married, i've removed the next-to-last obstacle to being a part of jehovah's clean people once again.

  The 12 disciples.... you mean Jesus' apostles ? Happehanna beat me to it....

  Or are you calling the leaders of the sect known as Jehovah's Witnesses in Brooklyn, NY "disciples" ?

  i'm wondering what the wts teaches about the rapture and tribulation.

  does that tie in with their "paradise earth" doctrine somehow?.

  another site : http://scripture_truth.homestead.com/

  this paragraph :

  In 1882 Russell began leading Watch Tower readers away from Christian orthodoxy. Russell openly rejected the doctrine of Hell and the Trinity as "totally unscriptural." The Watch Tower and Russell's books included much of Barbour's end time timeline, using 1874 as the beginning of Christ's invisible "presence," and predicting other end-times events by calculating from that date. He Called the Great Pyramid of Gizeh," God's Stone Witness and Prophet". Russell used measurements of it in his calculations to predict that believers would be raptured in 1910.

  I found this site : http://www.bible.ca/jw-history.htm

  this is the paragraph about the rapture :

  Russell and Barbour believed and taught that Christ's invisible return in 1874 would be followed soon afterward, in the spring of 1878 to be exact, by the Rapture-the bodily snatching away of believers to heaven. When this expected Rapture failed to occur on time in 1878, The Herald's editor, Mr. Barbour, came up with "new light" on this and other doctrines. Russell, however, rejected some of the new ideas and persuaded other members to oppose them. Finally, Russell quit the staff of the Adventist magazine and started his own. He called it Zion's Watch Tower and Herald of Christ's Presence and published its first issue with the date July, 1879. In the beginning it had the same mailing list as The Herald of the Morning and considerable space was devoted to refuting the latter on points of disagreement, Russell having taken with him a copy of that magazine's mailing list when he resigned as assistant editor.

  I believe Charles Taze Russell, the founder of the organization, believed and taught the rapture.... Didn't he put on a white robe and waited to be ushered up, on such and such a day ? Got to go look....
