  When did the Jehovah's Witnesses officially become a "religion"?

  by Wild_Thing in

  most people know that jehovah's witnesses began as a publishing company promoting a restorationist type christianity.

  people who were followers were called bible students.

  but when, exactly, did it change from a "movement" to a "religion"?

  AGM - Are they now teaching predestination?

  by Doubting Bro in

  another agm thought.

  in tight pants tony's part, he mentioned several times that jehovah draws those he chooses and only those rightly disposed would come in.

  and individuals that liked the literature but made no progress towards becoming jw were a "waste of time".. was he setting the stage for them introducing the thought of predestination?

  Stupid, stupid nonsense in the October JW broadcast

  by sir82 in

  so in the october jw broadcast, there is a "morning worship" segment in which g. jackson goes to great lengths to explain how the term "those taking the lead" are not "leaders".. the terms are exactly equivalent, of course, but jackson, with a wink & smirk, pats himself on the back for his own cleverness on how different they really are.it's just so bizarrely absurd.. imagine if such tortured reasoning were applied to other areas..... -------------------------------------.

  restaurant manager: i'm sorry, the only position we have open is for dishwasher.

  applicant: that's insulting!

  Doublespeak* at its finest.

  * Doublespeak is language that deliberately obscures, disguises, distorts, or reverses the meaning of words.

  Can someone verify?

  It is of course real, not because I saw it myself, but mainly because every WifiBandit posts is real.

  a friend of mine has contacts to a family with several circuit overseers and special pioneers.

  they have good connections to bethel.. he told me that the latest rumor from bethel states that the cos should be abolished in their present form.

  they have also recently begun to take cos back to bethel.. over the same channel i have already heard of the car fleet program and that the dos should be abolished.. has anyone else already heard of it?

  Not that I want the WTBTS to succeed but just applying a tad bit of organizational sense a City Servant with a bit of authority would be the lowest cost for any organizational oversight.

  I know a guy that was named City Servant when this arrangement came to be. He very well can be a super-elder and take care of 10-15 congos a year. All on his own dime.

  The value of the CO is that they provide an audit of the congregation from the perspective of the self-interests of the mothership. I don't think you can discount that, nor do I think that this function is easily replaced.

  They can find super-elders on any circuit, men, power hungry that will enforce the WT rules onto congos without being "paid".
