It may be true that Russell wasn't a perfect man(big shock)but he was an earnest,sincere lover of truth.Russells view on salvation especially shows how far Jehovah's Witnesses have fallen from grace!He believed,quite rightly in my opinion,that God only judges an individual to their final destiny based on Him revealing the fullest extent of truth that they need to make a truly valid choice either for God or against Him.I don't see that reality at this point in time.And don't in the slightest see Jehovah shallowly basing His judgements on JW preaching work.Just another VP to consider!

Good Quote!!! (Apr 15, 2002 WT, p.29)
by stevieb1 inthis is taken from the very latest watchtower magazine and should be applied to many who sit in the high places of the watchtower organization.
here is the quote:.
"it is significant that these two waldensian pastors - daniele rivoire and guiseppe bancheti - expressed appreciation for the way russell explained the bible.

Too much to ask?
by Danielson inis it too much too ask that when one makes a concious decision to leave as one of watchtower's jw "s without pomp or ceremony ie.
(dissassociationg oneself or getting dfd) and trying to live life on ones own terms that you could be left alone?guess not!
my sister left about a year ago has caused no trouble and has no influence on the congregation.not a chance!!

Very interesting, is't it. The mid-seventies have come back to haunt us like a bad dream. Haven't any lessons been learned from the past? There's nothing wrong with giving from the heart, but let us not be swayed by twisted reasoning as it seems this Co was doing. "Those who have not learned from the past are condemned to repeat it." And that's all I have to say about that!
