  .

  still others hold that 666 is the mark of the catholic papacy.substituting roman numerals for the letters in a form of the pope's official title,vicarius filii dei(vicar of the son of god) and manipulating the figures a little,they came up with 666.. didn't c.t.

  russell once publish a letter from a reader or something like that saying the above?

  You find that in the Seventh Volume. But actually it has never been proven that the title "Vicarius Filii Dei" had ever been used by any pope.

  Response from my elders about UN

  by Sumflower in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i presented that document to an elder from our hall... he called and told me exactly what i expected they would say (library card deal).

  so i wrote the un and got a letter back saying they were totally seperate and so forth, and fwd'd it to the same elder.

  he told me at the meeting that night that he called again and got in touch with someone who knew something.

  The fact is that Governing Body member Lloyd Barry signed the final paperwork to join the Watchtower Corporation to the United Nations as an official Associated Non-Governmental Organization (NGO). Long-time Writing Department member Ciro Aulicino signed the paperwork as the official contact between Watchtower and the UN.

  
  Be careful, afaik they just had to fill in the names but did not sign!
  
  
  Every little inconsistency will be taken as a prove that this is slander. Of course it is only human imperfection on their side. :-O

  "are you going to the memorial...?

  that's the question i hear this morning from my wife in-between the daily ritual of smacking the snooze button.. i was still getting the sleep out of my eyes, so i had to think for a second if i was dreaming and if i had really da'd myself last year or not.. *check.

  yep, that really happened*.

  >And according to their doctrine...he came in 1914...therefore...there's no need to go.
  
  Well, I think they are currently teaching that Jesus is coming during his presence.

  JW article written 5 years ago - who authored it?

  by truthseeker in

  2. friends

  i became part of the internet community around 2000, and one of the first things i type into google's search engine was "jehovah's witnesses.

  " i was presented with an amazing number of websites devoted to jehovah's witnesses.. i clicked on one site, which really led me to a posting on a bulletin board.

  at that time, i was a believing dub.

  With a little help by babelfish:
  
  Milton G. Henschel travels with UN-Diplomat Passport
  
  As was communicated to us by several contact people, Milton G. Henschel, President of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society does not possess a normal passport as you and me but travels with a diplomat passport of the United Nations. At least, this experience has been made by a JW, who served 1998 as a helper at the convention in Munich and should ensure that no unwanted persons arrived into the range behind the stage. He reports that he had stopped a person, whom he did not know personally, and he asked as directed to prove himself. To his surprise the concerning pulled a Un-Passport out and identified as the president himself.
  
  This occurence on its own is already of importance, because the WTG does not become tired, to compare the United Nations with "the portrait of the wild animal" from Revelation as call it a part of Satans system.
  
  In addition it comes that there are again and again messages, which are absolutely not in agreement with a religious community, which is according to their own claims are "no part of this world". For example in 1997 the WTS was part of a delegation of US companies that traveled to the People's Republic of China to introduce themselves under the quite threadbare keyword "environmental protection" as a world-wide religious publishing house. (See section INTERNATIONAL). Also the more and more clearly recognizable working together with other sects shows that the WTG is obviously not that what it seems to be.
  
  Also the reports of former special pioneers, who traveled at the time of the cold war as tourists camouflaged to secret meetings to Russia to smuggle allegedly Bibles, make distrustful. It is reported that just after the war, the WTS in Germany had a part of barracks made available by the Americans to get a direct telephone connection to their American headquarters. Privileges which were certainly not entitled without return.

  You find the report about the UN passport here - in German: http://www.infolink-net.de/rubriken/rubrik-rumour.htm

  It is the rumours-section: a person who was a helper at the DC in Munich hindered a person he did not know to enter the special section of the stadium. It was Milton Henschel himself who showed his passport - not an American passport but a UN Diplomat Passport.

  Well, the story sounds a bit odd to me, it is filed under 'rumours'. But after the whole NGO story...

  Marley Cole - "Jehovahs Witnesses, the New World Society"

  by nicolaou in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i recently bought a copy of this book off ebay and am trying to find some official watchtower approval of it so that i can lend it to my mum.

  ray franz stated that cole himself was a witness and that he wrote the book "with the full cooperation of the society.

  is there any way of corroborating this?

  Cole later wrote a book "Triumphant Kingdom" that as I heard was not endorsed by the Society.

  No decision today. There are seven volumes of files by now. The court said they are going to have a thorough investigation of the JW behavior. They even mentioned "Theocratic Warfare".
  
  They are checking how children, familiy and former mambers are influenced.
  
  This sounds like it will take long: months if not even years - again.
  
  This has lasted already for more than 14 years...

  Why is the religious right in bed with Israel?

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it always seems strange to me that the religious right in america and elsewhere is so 'in bed' with israel.. if you look at the history and beliefs, surely christianity has more in common with muslims who believe in christ (as a prophet) then in judaism which was the very religion that christ was rejecting and was killed by!.

  surely for christians, the jews were "the bad guys" having rejected the messiah and forfeiting their position as gods chosen people?.

  so why the support?

  >A better subject to bring up would be the collaberation the German government made with the Terrorists at the 1972 Olypics.
