this must have been mentioned before,but now reniaa is back it could be fun.. if jw's are even part way to the truth,and all other religions are false, then they must have a doctrine that is unique to them,given by holy spirit, but plainly taught in the bible,without resorting to fancifull exegesis and bouncing around from verse to verse out of context etc.. what is that doctrine?.

I think Reniaa got smacked in the head with some factual truth on the JWS
and I don't perceive her retuning here any time soon.......silly girl should have known better
For a person that hasn't stepped inside a KH for 11 years it really poses a question what are her intentions to post
her supportive comments of the JWS

Bullshit is so much more palatable and redeemably pure when religious furore is placed over it.
It makes you wonder if Russell took note of how greater his sales were in his clothing stores when he wore
a white collar around his neck or when he had placed a cross around his neck.
Russell was one of the first commercialized religious bullshitters, there were certainly others, but perhaps he was the best at it.
His legacy of bullshit continues to this day.
Pretty hard to evaluate someone who's just been in office for few weeks and has just establish his cabinet administrators.
Makes me really wonder why is there so much scrutiny being conducted here in this forum.
Wouldn't it be prudent and effectively honest to make evaluations on his performance after lets say a few months ?
The little of what he has done seemed to have received wide spread support, its most likely that it wont be until this summer
or latter that a clearer picture will appear.
i acquired the following scans of a couple of pages of "studies in the scriptures" vol 3 "thy kingdom come".
see what he makes of the great pyramid.
opposite page 332 is the following chart, printed sideways.
Charles Smyth's book was the one that got C. Russell engaged into this unscientific theory that the great pyramid
held within its measurements the chronology of god's purpose for mankind, another distinctive source of plagiarism of ideology by Russell.
But nevertheless a salable one in his mind that had to be exploited and utilized.
Here is a picture of Smyth's tombstone , see any resemblance to Russell's ?
the god of the old testament seems a rather despicable character.. some schools of thought play on this to prove lucifer as the "good guy".. how do you respond to this.... .
eve was offered knowledge....she chose knowledge....and was punished for it.. god withheld knowledge purposely, yet satan was "compassionate and wanted these creatures to know the 'truth'.".
light is symbolic for knowledge and wisdom.
Another good resource that displays and offers information on the most loving and just God of the bible and the one that a billion or more people
will be worshiping this Sunday. http://www.evilbible.com/
is this an original jw teaching?
and of course we all love [add on word] dont we?....i can not fathom loving to design and create things....and then after my first project felt like i would just totally retire and never create anything ever again?.......does this doctrine annoy anyone but me?..........oompa.

Well OK if you take that stance why could he not be creating other galaxies and planets off somewhere in a far distant universe
that isn't visible by are human science ?

The ancient mystics had a good imagination back in their day didn't they ?
particularly when they had God the almighty in their minds, they wrote their thoughts and ignorance
for us to evaluate...................was awfully nice of them

Brother Russell was commercially righteous and his professional background in salesmanship was prodigiously utilized

So Reniaa you would not admit then that the WTS. were unscrupulous and did not use devious marketing tactics to cull followers
toward them ? such as come join us and live in paradise or either die at Armageddon.
Keep in mind the free and open market revolving religion in America and how men have exploited this arrangement.
You mentioned in your previous post that Russell wasn't materialistic bound, how about the astute gentleman Rutherford that
followed right after him who grabbed the money and power from the organization and utilized it for his own benefit,
such as lavishly appointed homes , cars that only the ultra rich could afford, the hand tailored suits and all the booze he could guzzle.
Not to mention the woman that he comforted with that wasn't his wife, now that sounds like a true worshiper of God all
full of wholesomeness and integrity...........Right
All religions are a business once they're analyzed and seen how they're structured and mostly are developed out of fear and human ignorance.
You could easily start your own religion if you wanted to Reniaa, its all very easy.

One thing you haven't accepted as of yet is that all religions are contrived bullshit by God playing men
indulged with their own self empowerment. You've totally forgotten that the JWS was originally started by
a non-biblical scholar but rather a crooked businessman, who intensionally was trying to build himself up as a modern
day spiritual prophet and sell as many of his books and magazines as possible.
This disingenuous endeavor continues on to this day with the WTS. , millions of lives were damaged or destroyed all
for the sake of illicit power and corruption, now that a true story of biblical proportions.
Take this truth with you Reniaa wherever you go and speak of the of the one and only true religion.
