  Hidden history of the Watchtower religion

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the deeper you dig--the less impressive jw’s become!___________________you may think you know the men who are vitally important to the birth of the religion--but chances are good you’ve been kept in the dark.. _____________.

  did you know?the 1st case heard by the supreme court of the united states concerning the watchtower society involved a director (an officer) of the watchtower, william franklyn hudgings.. a brief description of hudgings and his character.hudgings was an attorney, quack doctor, self-identified ‘scientist’, a pro-zionist, and religious enthusiast who over the years held various director and officer positions in the watchtower society, and the affiliated people's pulpit association and international bible students association.

  at the time of this particular case, william hudgings acknowledged being the corporate secretary of the people's pulpit association and acknowledged that his daily duties included the administrative charge of printing of the watchtower magazine, the bible student's monthly, the kingdom news, and other watchtower publications.. (hudgings was also re-elected to the watchtower society board of directors in january 1919.

  After all these years

  i found out a couple of weeks ago that friends who i haven’t seen for over 20 years left the watchtower two years ago.

  and it’s having a ripple effect on their friends who are in.. i was also going to post on the thread about posters who’ve left but it seems to have been locked!.

  i have been very busy these last few years, working on my hobbies, writing articles and books and haven’t had much time for jw activism.

  JW elders stumped by Watchtower Publications

  by Roger Kirkpatrick in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was approached by two jehovah’s witness elders who handed me a pamphlet advertising the jw .org website.

  each man carried a bible and an apple ipad.

  they told me that they enjoyed visiting with people about the bible, and asked if i was a bible reader.

  that scenario would never have happened in a million years, they would have just folded the carts up and headed to the nearest coffee shop but a good cardboard cutout for exjw's that have become Evangelical Christians who want to try and reach out to active jw's going about their cart work and I predict the amount of success this approach will have to be absolutely zero, two classes of Christians? who GAF? none of it remotely exists

  riddled with lies as we all know, especially with their huge KH sell offs, how many interested/newly baptised ones are going to want to travel miles upon miles to KH's away from their homes? none I'd say, are there increases in the national reports of Japan, Germany, most of Europe? even without looking at it I know there isnt
