"good sense stress", was the description of an elder for a circuit overseer's undue emphasis on the words "the children are helping mommy and daddy to...pioneer.... yes".

he said this during a talk of his in the early 1990's.

upon going to a pioneer meeting on that saturday and seeing him first hand using his hands in a circular motion around a pioneers face who was sitting too close in front of him, he stated "did you ever notice that little glow they have?

Quote

7/ Titbit of info - he said that the WT society was about to make a worldwide announcement condemning all other churches and that would make them stand out even more and that it was going to shake things up. Is this September's big announcement?????

End quote

Not suprising . CT russell spoke quite a bit against the churches of his day. so did rutherford. I'd say let them make the announcment and may jehoover smash the WTS into tiny bits in his mercy.

Are the "Last Days" an Absurdity? (8/15 WT)

by metatron in

how could anyone know objectively if they live in the "last days", if they fail to examine history?

how would anyone know if things were .

actually worse?

If the watchtower said the world ended yesterday I'd believe it

What did he really find in 1919?

by Fatfreek in

it'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!").

headmath

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

The fine line of apostasy

by headmath in

i'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'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. 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 in

i 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 in

there 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?

headmath

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