he was giving the part about giving your riches to jehovah the watchtower.

you could tell there was a conflict going on in his head, while he was giving it.

Pyramid at Russell's Grave Modeled After the Great Pyramid?
by cabasilas in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
until now, i have differentiated pastor russell's pyramidology beliefs from the pyramid that was erected next to his tombstone in pittsburgh, pennsylvania.

russell (following taylor, smyth, seiss and barbour) believed that the great pyramid of gizeh was "the bible in stone," testifying to scientific and theological truths.

the pyramid marker at his grave i believed was not related to his beliefs on the great pyramid, but were an elaboration of the plan of salvation as russell understood it.

by Seeker4 in

2. beliefs
years ago i was having a conversation with another elder about rutherford and the golden age magazine.

we were both good students, and well aware of what an asshole rutherford had been, and how outrageous many of the things written in the golden age were.

after commenting on them, and joking aloud how you never hear golden age quoted today and that rutherford seemed to just be the biggest jerk, the brother said to me, in all seriousness, "well, it just goes to show you that jehovah can use anyone to accomplish his purpose.

How accurate can the Bible really be?

2. bible
how accurate can the bible really be?

i am losing faith that it is accurate at all.. according to an article i read in our paper today they are now saying in translation there are no english words to match every word...so the scripture that say "peace on earth and goodwill towards all men " should really be " peace on earth to all men of goodwill ".. now if they can screw something that simple up..what else in the bible have they screwed up?.

snoozy....

by fritz springmeier .

the word of god teaches that there will be a future, visible, personal coming of the christ who left palestine approximately 2,000 years ago.

this article exposes a plan to co-opt that teaching so that the satanic hierarchy of the illuminati can install their own great christ.
