  If you could "intelligently design" yourself, what would you change?

  if you could "intelligently design" yourself, what would you change?.

  you're welcome to start from the ground up, if you like.

  or just suggest changes to the existing platform.

  Hi Dave!!!
  
  If you changed your design, what should we call you?? Dave #2?? Or just #2??
  
  I think I'll leave my design as is. I am starting to like myself more all the time as I am.

  Researching the WBTS is painful and shocking

  after lady liberty gave a link to the new re-examine site, i found some details that are so disturbing its boggling my mind.. first, the original presidents were voted in, but not one vote per person but for every $10.00 contributed you received a vote.

  so those already in power and with much money had tremendous sway as to who got in and who didn't.

  this little scheme was not stopped until 1944.. so when rutherford was "elected by a unanimous vote" we can assume it was mainly of his own doing based on money contributed.

  restrangled!!!
  
  How could you verify that as an official document from the year 1917???
  
  If it is legitament it looks like Rutherford really abused his authority. Was his takeover of the
  corporation ever challenged in a court of law???
  
  The more you learn the worse it gets.
  
  Thanks for your research.

  So when they got 1 vote for every $10.00 donated, who kept track of the donations??? Do you think they kept accurate records?

  Hello!!! All of this is quite interesting.
  
  A fact that needs to be added here is that when the corporation was first founded Russell did not own the majority of the voting shares.
  
  The result of his lesser investment??? He was not the first president of the corporation. His business partner who invested $5,000.00 more than he did was the first president.
  
  When Rutherford did the hostile takeover some people continued as International Bible Students and that group still exists in some form.(Goggle it up) Rutherford quickly made changes. By the 1930's the change to a new religion was almost complete.
  
  They should have been called Rutherfordites, but no!!!! They called themselves JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES!!
  
  The [[[APOSTATES]]] from International Bible Students!!!!

  Are Faders "better" than DF'd or DA'd?

  by ESTEE in

  2. experiences

  this is something i've been mulling over.

  just would like to hear opinions as to whether faders, or inactive ones think they are superior to disfellowshipped or disassociated ones?

  what is your experience with this?

  If the WTS closed shop, who'd get the money?

  by PopeOfEruke in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i don't really understand who really are the beneficial owners of the watchtower society and all its assets.. so i pose this question: if the watchtower society closed down tomorrow and all the assets were sold off, who would get the billions of dollars?

  the wts shareholders??

  or are there jw companies which are "owed" huge amounts by the society, and so all the cash would simply go to these "companies" to pay off the "debt"?.

  Let's just get something straight about 1975.

  by WTFBBQPWNT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  nobody ever said that the end was coming in 1975.. all the hype about this date that has continued all the way down through today came from a talk in the early 70's by fred franz.

  in this talk, franz pointed out the significance of the 7 creative days and how they correspond with 1,000-year time intervals.. he then said, "could the end come in 1975?

  there's so much wrong with jehovah's witnesses from their rigid legalism to their faux love, but let's call a spade a spade about the 1975 thing..

  Don't be so hard on the birdie...... Jehovah in all his mercy has extended the time so more people could learn the "truth". The end must be very close now!!! Sell your homes, start pioneering,don't persue a secular education. You can get the equivilant of a college education by reading Awake magazine once a month.
  
  Be thankful it didn't happen in 1975. Look how many more have joined the organization since that date.
  
  But the end is close!!! So be on the gaurd.

  by skyking in

  2. bible

  " there in israels mist was the man of the nations, this foreigner represented the rest of mankind that jehovah gave the command to at gen: 9:4. noah was instructed not to eat the blood of an animal that was to be eaten.

  {the laws requirement for touching a dead animal is he became unclean by the act of touching a dead body}.

  17:15 jehovah gave israel away out of death.

  Skyking thank you for sending me the information. WOW this is something. I can see why the CO's and the ELDERS acted the way you say. Have you sent this in formation to the Society or JW's for Blood Reform?
