  I enjoyed this, in my gut I feel they are undoubtedly real elders, so I hope they are, and like "Steve" said, you can feel something is happening with the org. Its easy to speculate, but the censorship makes it merely a feeling and not vocal.

  what the sunday watchtard said.... in 1876, an article written by charles taze russell was published in the magazine bible examiner.

  that article, gentile times: when do they end?, pointed to 1914 as a significant year.

  the article linked the seven times of daniels prophecy with the appointed times of the nations spoken of by jesus.. what gentile times: when do they end?

  What the Sunday Watchtard said...

  In 1876, an article written by Charles Taze Russell was published in the magazine Bible Examiner. That article, “Gentile Times: When Do They End?,” pointed to 1914 as a significant year. The article linked the “seven times” of Daniel’s prophecy with “the appointed times of the nations” spoken of by Jesus.

  What Gentile Times: When Do They End? (1876) said....

  At the commencement of our Christian era, 606 years of this time had passed, (70 years captivity, and 536 from Cyrus to Christ) which deducted from 2520, would show that the seven times will end in A.D. 1914: when Jerusalem shall be delivered forever, and the Jew say of the Deliverer, “Lo, this is our God, we have waited for Him and He will save us.” When Gentile Governments shall have been dashed to pieces; when God shall have poured out of his fury upon the nation, and they acknowledge him King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

  So... it sounds like he didn't say it was "significant", it sounds like he said it was going to be Armageddon to me... But what do i know

  If God exists ....

  by iconoclastic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if god exists, he must be a god of freedom.

  because he has endowed us with free-will, and never interferes with it (as confirmed by our own experiences).

  that means he wants everyone to make their choice and reap the fruits accordingly.

  I agree with truthseeker100 I love Caleb's insights. While I am without religion and without god, i still appreciate his posts. It shows how the masses have taken Jewish/tradition and religion and constantly tried to hijack it into their own, and also much more than most of it was intended to be.

  today at the wt study one of the new songs was used.

  how has this been going in other congs - at my hall about two thirds had it on either tablets or phones with lyrics on or printed out, rest just stood looking blank.

  singing very poor.

  My impression was everyone was lost. And totally indifferent. Back in the old days the jw songs sucked too but they were around forever. I remember my grandparents singing them all the time from memory. This new crap no one will ever sing from memory because they can't even sing it with the music and words right there.
