Rutherford tried to clean up russels pyramid power cult but in his obsession he made the biggest blunder of his life in 1925 when the world did not end.

My District Convention Is Being Held At An Assembly Hall
by enlightenedcynic inif this topic has been discussed previously, i apologize, but next week i unfortunately must attend the dc which is being held at the local assembly hall.
there are benefits to this as i don't have to rent a car or room for myself and family.
the downside to this is that it will now be harder to miss segments of the program or an entire day without being scrutinized.

It is simple math. Conventions are EXPENSIVE! The WTS saves big bucks by breaking up the big dist assemblies into smaller ones. It amounts to really just another meeting at the kingdom hall. I used to dream of sittin in the KH for 2 1/2 hours while the world was enjoying the sunshine!

millions now living will never die?
by headmath ini always found that line confusing, look at this:.
quote.
1920 "based upon the argument heretofore set forth, then, that the old order of things, the old world, is ending and is therefore passing away, and that the new order is coming in, and that 1925 shall mark the resurrection of the faithful worthies of old and the beginning of reconstruction, it is reasonable to conclude that millions of people now on the earth will be still on the earth in 1925. then, based upon the promises set forth in the divine word, we must reach the positive and indisputable conclusion that millions now living will never die.

This is how the WTS viewed the world back then . A large part of the worlds people would survive armagedon. The million's referred to are evidently a group of persons other than the WTS and it's members. The WTS still had not identified the "great crowd" in 1925.and the WTS membership did not number in the millions.
Somewhere along the way the WTS doctrine changed and the only persons who would survive the armaggedon would be the great crowd (along with WTS)and all persons outside the WTS membership would be destroyed. So according to 1925 doctrine, persons other than the great crowd will survive arnaggedon. Believe!! It came directly from jehoover.!
This means that all the door to door work and kingdom service is pointless!

Absolute truths have been admitted....
by Shining One ini had to wade through a lot of muck to find anyone with any reasonable arguments in my last post.
most were just the usual personal attacks from the fringe and their flock of followers.
instead of dealing with them, i have decided to post one response to those who made some valid points.

***yb75 p. 157 Part 2—
After the 1935 convention, some who previously partook of the emblematic bread and wine at observances of the Lord’s Evening Meal ceased partaking. Why? Not due to unfaithfulness, but because they now realized that their hopes were earthly, not heavenly.

So the WTS clearly implies that some of the remnant were frauds. Are there anymore frauds. How many more will be revealed. Taking this viewpoint, is it possible that ALL the remnant are frauds??

Bogus remnant data for 1935?
by headmath inm.j. started a very "interesting" thread here:

It just seems strange why this constant ratio exists. If it had been different would not have noticed.
It is also more suspicious because others have said that these numbers were wrong
