excellent thread
That makes so much sense. The WTS date of 1919 is some load of BS. Jesus evidently returned to his former position the day he was resurrected

What did he really find in 1919?
by Fatfreek init's been awhile since i've been out but i seem to recall that jesus returned to his temple in 1919 (or 1918?
) and at that time, the most reliable servant he could entrust with his belongings were those embodied by those under rutherford's watchful eye.
at that time he found them immersed in pyramidology, they believed in the cross, and a list of other teachings they would rather leave buried ("damn that internet!").

The fine line of apostasy
by headmath ini've heard that placing literature written by ct russell in the door to door ministry would constitute apostasy.
at the very least a publisher would be d'fd if they did so.
i mean there are books written by ct russell that are so off the wall that your head spins.

I mean there are books written by CT Russell that are so off the wall that your head spins. The real reason here is that that old WTS literature is the very ammunition of apostates
Let's proceed to the Rutherford era. He also wrote some books. Again I think the WTS would recommend against placing his literature in the door to door ministry. So what about the Knorr era? I think that the book "Babylon the great has fallen - God's kingdom rules" is from this era. Well can we place that book in the door to door?. I think this is somewhat of an embarassment to the WTS as the dates of 1914,1919,1931,1935 are stressed so much that the WTS can't go back and change these dates. Imagine the supreme arrogance in saying that the door to heaven was closed in 1935. Do you think the householder in the door to door work would fall for that lie.? Not only that but that book is largely a bunch of quotes from Rutherford (Russell is only mentioned once)
Proceed to the Franz era..The book "The aid to bible understanding" was written by an apostate - our good friend Raymond Franz. The question now is what older literature will the WTS allow to be placed in the door to door work.??

A JW kid that I knew is now in the insane assylum
by headmath ini just can't believe all the trouble witness kida are having lately in my area( (vancouver b.c).
3 years ago a witness kid (18 years old) jumped off a bridge to his death.. the latest news from the jw grapevine is that a jw kid that i knew (he is now 20) is in the insane assylum.
it seems he was found swimming towards bethel from vancouver (he left a note) this was at least a 1000 miles away and he never would have made it.

When the authorities hauled him in, he claimed that he was god. Yes folks, the poor boy snapped and he is now a certifiable lunatic.. The kid was born into a JW family and I guess the dysfunction of the JW cult caused him to go mad. The kid seemed to be normal until recently
It is not suprising, the GB thinks it is god so what is the difference?

Has the WTBTS got wise to the best way to make money?
by Gill inthere used to be several books released at every summer convention.
there also used to be two 'awakes' a month published.. now, there are few books released, only pamphlets and no effort to rewrite the 'revelation book', just a list of changes to 'put in yourself'.
the 'awake' mag is down to one a month.. so...has the wtbts finally realised that there is far more money to be made investing in the property market than there is to be made in printing books to a captive audiance?

Remember the Stanley theater. It was featured in a watchtower mag. Now if that is not gloating then what is?

Why didn't the preaching work stop prior to 1975?
by plmkrzy inwhy didn't the preaching work stop prior to 1975?
it doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon either.
i raised this question before i stopped attending the meetings in the late 90's and the answer i was given was, "it has slowed down a lot and will eventually stop when the time is right".

Because the dubs went in a preaching franzy at the time in order to get in good with god.

Thirdwitness -- An Agent of the Governing Body?
by AlanF inthirdwitness -- an agent of the governing body?
this evening i was talking with an old friend about recent postings on this forum by jw defenders.
we concluded that something unusual is going on.

There may be an agent(s). I'm not sure if an agent would need the go-ahead of the WTS. It could be a covert operation of bethelite members without the knowledge of the WTS. It may be a justification of bethelites members to be able to read JWD stuff without becoming apostate so they present material that confuses the issue. Of course the true apostates on JWD out-number them 1000 to 1

The WTS are hypocrites!!. They say "pay ceasars things to ceasar" yet they don't follow their own advice.
I've gotten so much shit from JW that I know to pay your income tax. Well I don't own a single square foot of land because last time I looked the houses in my area start at over a million dollars! Imagine the arrogance of the government commanding poor people to pay income tax!!!!!!
I say the guv should start taxing these hyprocritical religiuos bastards such as the WTS and leave the poor folk alone

Sounds like my story. I thought the world around me was EVIL and I therefore elevated myself above them. What else could you do - die with them? There is a reward system in place. A JW must publicly SHUN the world in order to be accepted by their fellow JW. This is simply a " birds of a feather flock together" phenomina. It was started by Russell,.it will be destroyed by apostates
