  another strange quote.

  by greven in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i found another strange quote (the other one is located in satan's gospel) in the finished mystery:.

  *** the finished mystery 296-7 (not yet on cd-rom) *** .

  that the lord made no mistake in selecting the locust as a symbol of the methodist system of blindly following leaders is clear from the following extract ()these locusts always hopped straight ahead, deviating neither to the right nor left, and on coming to a house went up its stone walls, over it and down it, as if it were a level place, and in such inconceivable numbers that an american resident described the noise of the great host passing over the roof as like to that of a tremendous hailstorm.

  JW: "The gospel of Satan"

  by greven in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the society has always argued that the trouble the world is in, is because it is ruled by satan.

  then the other day i was reading something odd in the finished mystery: .

  "it does not set the mother against her daughter and the father against his son", "one great brotherhood", "it appeals to the best, all that is good within us", "it propagates the principles of self-sacrifice, mercy, charity and benevolence, teaching men to live for the good of others and to be kind to all", "justified by our own deeds".

  FDS has been tipped off ahead of time?!

  by greven in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  *** w60 7/15 444 staying awake with the "faitful and discreet slave" *** yes, the "faitful and discreet slave" was awake to the coming of 1914. in 1942 the "faitful and discreet slave" guided by unerring spirit made known that the democracies would win world war ii and that there would be a united nations organisation set up.

  once again the "faitful and discreet slave" has been tipped off ahead of time.

  does anyone have the article this quote is referring to?

  questions on early period (Russell &Co)

  by greven in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am currently doing some research on the early days and struck a few obstacles for which i need some help from anybody.. 1)russell predicted several times the "rapture of the saints".

  this meant a visible return of those saints and that russell & co would rise to heaven.

  when they failed to return visibly it was concluded that it did happen but invisible.

  2. friends

  yesterday an announcement was made at my local con.

  and i thought i`d share it.. the watchtower announced that work on the new cd-rom is in progress and we can expect it at the end of this year.. unlike the other versions you can`t get away with win 3.1, you`ll now need at least win95.. available languages: the one already available + tjech and japanese.. some of it`s features:.

  - one window (instead of several).

  society cutting costs?!

  by greven in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was wondering if you noticed the society cutting costs.. for example : the books are now printed on cheaper paper and have a soft cover.

  also subscriptions are no longer mailed by post but will be brought to you by publishers (cutting cost and upping field service!

  to flies in one!).
