What really happened around 1918 when WT leaders were imprisoned?
by dubstepped ini had never thought about this until just now when i saw that nathan natas posted some early tract from rutherford, and it made me think back to what little i could remember of the history i was taught.
i now know that in most cases the dubs will spin stories in their favor.
so i'm now assuming i was told some fictitious story about what happened when the leaders were thrown in prison and things looked bleak for the cult way back when.

Also, they put up the deed of the Bethel home for bail to the Judge and his buddies didn't have to spend the night in jail. They transferred the deed to an individual just hours before using it to post bail, so it would be legal.

There are several news clippings that give us clues as to the level of turmoil that was going on at the time. This is shows how Rutherford's plan was to retain control from within his prison cell.

I am sure it is about what every "special" meeting is about ... a new campaign!
Cue applause. <clap! clap! clap! clap! clap!>

Still relying on 2014 survey. Isn’t it about time they did another one?
The first study was conducted in 2007, the second was in 2014. I would guess the next survey will not be conducted until 2021.
That doesn't seem very often, but it takes a long time for attitudes to change about religion, so every seven years is probably just right.

I doubt this statistic. I wonder if the JWs polled considered reading a partially quoted scripture in their literature as "reading scripture". If their question used the word "scripture" instead of "bible", I believe it was misleading question. To me, "reading the Bible" and "reading scripture" are not exactly the same thing.

4 people were hurt by the dog ... 2 were JWs. The older woman was severely hurt. I hope the old woman survives. I hate seeing another martyr die for their stupid No Blood doctrine.
