paul has written an interesting piece on jwfacts.com .
https://jwfacts.com/watchtower/blog/russell-not-a-freemason.php.
anyway, it jogged my memory and reminded me of something i thought i would pass on to you.back in the late 80s i had the opportunity to chat with ray franz on the phone and i asked him about this very thing.he didn't say yes or no to russel's masonic connection but what he said was something like, "he is buried in the masonic section of the cemetery so draw your own conclusion.
The Watchtower Society has without a doubt been used by the Freemasons. Some of the GB are Freemasons.
There is almost no religion as suited to their agenda as the JWs.
Those who mock or try to dispel this simply don't understand the true Masonic agenda.
at last night's clam the circuit overseer made this comment, "we elders sometimes have to act as judges in the congregation.
but we (the elders) are imperfect, and so cannot know everything about judicial matters.
that is why we (the elders) have the biblical rule that there must be at least two witnesses to wrongdoing.
In ancient Israel the judges were compelled to consider a legal case based on all the evidence whether or not there were two witnesses to an alleged offence.
And its obvious that in the Christian Greek scriptures that Jesus meant the rule to only apply to disputes or allegations between adult or baptized members of the congregation.
Jesus also stated that if the Pharisees did not believe him or his father that the works he did were a witness to the truth of himself, showing that he was more concerned with overall evidence than rigid compliance with a rule for 2 personal witnesses.
Therefore any evidence gathered by the secular authorities should be accepted as a second 'witness', highlighting how imperative it is for the elders to report to the authorities all allegations since 99.9% of child sexual abuse is never witnessed by two persons.
Yet you have absolutely irresponsible idiots like this CO apparently actively discouraging reporting to the secular authorities if theres not two personal witnesses to a child rape.
How utterly morally blind they are.
howdy guys!
so how long has it been since you have seen your jw family or friends?
or do you even care to have them in your life anymore?
A long long time. And it still hurts and sucks. Hardest part about being an ex-JW.
May the Watchtower Society and GB rot in hell.
it turns out arsenal were soundly beaten 3-0 yesterday by crystal palace.
apparently, the score-line flattered arsenal, not palace.. arsenal have conceded 3 goals in each of their last 3 away games and lost those games.
a few weeks ago, they lost 10-2 over two legs to bayern munich.
After what happened to Mourinho at Chelsea and Ranieri at Leicester, some of the Arsenal players have realised they can play to get rid of a delusional old manager who thinks 4th place is a trophy and is shameless and unrepentant after losing 10-2 on aggregate to Bayern Munich.
so it is now two days after another islamic terrorist attack.
how many muslims are in the streets protesting and condemning this evil?
how many are marching in all the big cities condemning this in mass protests?.
Islam is currently in a phase that Christianity was in about two/three centuries ago.
It will soon undergo an 'Enlightenment', like Christianity did.
i just 'liked' the same post 6 times in a row.. what a joke simon.
sort it out!.

What a joke Simon. Sort it out!
1. in bro sandersons latest video (in which he shows a very impressive skill with russian) he mentions two likely results of the imminent russian ban: the liquidation of the branch office and its assets, and the individual brothers capacity to worship freely.
no prizes for guessing which one gets mentioned first!.
2. why have the gb never attempted in the past, and are not interested in attempting now, such a letter writing campaign in other communist countries where the work is under similar restrictions, like china, or vietnam?
Go Putin et al. Ban the fockers!!
The RolexWatchtower are doing this now because President Trump outspokenly admires Putin!
· if religions were immune to division.
· if scriptures were immune to scientific errors.
· if religious leaders were immune to hypocrisy.
Lol..Jesus didn't think belief in God was crucial. (With supporting scriptures).
Jesus was just a 'humanist' (with supporting scriptures).
Bwahahaha..
2 peter 1 = deity of christ.
2 pe.
1:1 simon peter, a bondservant and apostle of jesus christ, .
Pathetic thread.
The Trinity dogma frankly just proves what an absurd fools errand joke 'Christianity' and the bible (small case intentional) are.
i seem to remember many talks and articles in the past about repeating rumors.last night before going into the book study the conductor said something to the effect, "i heard a rumor and i don't know if it's true but the rumor is that in the future we will be using only;y videos at the door.".
anyone else heard this "rumor"?.
and whats up with repeating rumors from the platform?
Clearly they want to move as much as possible from being a literature based religion to being a new digital/video religion. They would end all printing tomorrow if they could.
The problem is their doctrine requires all JWs to be 'witnesses', ie, they must publicly witness to Jehovah. And they believe they are scripturally required to do this door to door.
So they are currently in a limbo...they preach video messages door to door. Dumb dumb dumb.
They are trapped again by their own out of date quirky doctrines by being chained to the door to door work belief. Its just another stoopid old belief that needs dustbinning, along with so many other weird, eccentric fringe beliefs of the borg (generation, 1914, birthdays, blood, etc etc).
Solution: shed 'new light' on the door to door work, making it no longer compulsory for all in the congregation to do it. Make it something for pioneers only, bit like how the Mormons do with their 19 year old missionary 'elders'. The rest of the congregation can just do informal witnessing, phone witnessing, or giving tracts away in the street or in malls directing people to JW.org to watch videos there instead of on some schmucks tablet on a doorstep.
