  Divine Plan As Seen in the Great Pyramid: Now on Google Books

  by cabasilas in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  google books now has up russell's book: the divine plan of the ages and the corroborative testimony of the great pyramid.

  it's a special edition that combines volume 1 of studies in the scriptures with the chapter from volume 3 on the great pyramid.

  i believe this edition dates from about 1912 or so.

  Jehovah's Witnesses vs Pastor Russell on the resurrection of Adam

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  one of the main teachings of pastor russell was that all would be enlightened with a knowledge of god's truth before they are placed on trial and judged for their final destiny.

  for the majority of mankind this would be when they are raised from the dead at the time of the general resurrection.

  their final judgment would be based on their conduct while enlightened and not on their conduct while in ignorance.

  My guess is that Russell was a kind man and Rutherford a vindicative one.

  I have often thought that. Russell and his associates debated the bible, i can see why some argue that it was Rutherford who was the founder of this cult rather than Russell.

  JWs - the Next Generation

  by Olin Moyles Ghost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my peer group (post-1975 born-in jws) seems to approach the jw religion in a different manner than earlier generations.

  now, these folks still believe the wts is "the truth" and if you say anything that sounds "apostate" they start freaking out.

  but, make no mistake, these jws are not your parents' witnesses.

  When i went back to a few meetings for the first time in over 10 years i didn't feel this sense of urgency they used to have. You would get the "ooh the end is so close", but it was never backed up.

  i remember when i was a kid in "the truth.

  there was an elderly sister that had a heart attack during the meeting.

  she made loud gasping sounds as she was holding on for dear life.

  the title may have lured you here but since it is summertime i am just curious how many people here have yards they have to take care of?

  if so, how big of a yard do you have?

  what do you use to mow your yard?

  Blood issue for me. I had to concede on a number of occasions that if i was presented with a life or death situation for my kids that i didn't know what i would do.

  How mad was that, even though i said that the mere thought i had to think about it.
