  Plays up the worst "apostate" stereotypes like it was in 1978. There are better ways.

  CAN WE SOLVE THE MYSTERY of why Watchtower doctrines changed when they changed?

  by Terry in

  if a person gives a police report of a traumatic event, but later changes their facts during cross-examination, these changes are used to impeach the honesty of the witness.. this impeachment flows from a logical understanding facts must match reality without contradiction.. lets examine the history of the watchtower corporations leaders with a view to the harmony of.

  true teaching over a period of years from 1879-1942.. "even though christmas is not the real anniversary of our lord's birth, but more properly the annunciation day or the date of his human begetting (luke 1:28), nevertheless, since the celebration of our lord's birth is not a matter of divine appointment or injunction, but merely a tribute of respect to him, it is not necessary for us to quibble particularly about the date.

  we may as well join with the civilized world in celebrating the grand event on the day which the majority celebrate - "christmas day.

  My personal study has left me with the impression that many of the Rutherford-era changes were to:

  A.) seperate his Jehovah's Witnesses from the Bible Students

  B.) seperate his Jehovah's Witnesses from the rest of Christendom

  During Rutherford's time you had a reinterpretation of Bible prophecy to fit JW's as God's organization. Fred Franz continued this and used the Bible to "prove" that organizational changes were prophecised and proof of the Watchtower's appontment.

  Loving the comments. Keep calling attention to JW human rights violations until it becomes their brand. That tactic has traction in the real world. This is the perfect apostasy for the 21st century.

  It's interesting that JW spent so much time advertising JW.ORG and promoting the modern face of their organization. Yet their efforts are undermined by ignorant GB comments going viral.
  
  "Tight pants" and "spanx" are trivial. What isn't trivial is having a member of the GB openly mocked by the public. Some JW's are even joining in. Has this happened since Rutheford?
  
  Anything that helps to dispel the illusion of the Governing Body being some sort of divinely-directed Faithful Slave is welcome!

  Anthony Morris III has inspired me to conduct a sock drive for the homeless. Socks are the most needed articles of clothing, but the least donated at shelters. Please send new, warm socks, the more COLORFUL the better. Kids need socks too, so don't forget them. After the socks are collected, we'll forward to an appropriate charity to be determined. (I'm targeting mid-December, to give us a month for collection.) It might be fun to take a picture of the colorful bounty and send to TOMO so he can experience the joy of socks. Afterall, Watchtower and Awake! magazines can't keep feet warm!
  
  Please send new socks to:

  Stache Publishing
  #socksfortomo
  7340 N State Route 159
  Moro, IL 62067
  USA
  
  Participating? Share a picture of your colorful socks with the tags #socksfortomo #jworg

  Don't want to mail a stranger socks? Join in the spirit by dropping a pair off at a shelter, clothing charity, or directly with someone in need!
  
  Thanks for helping keep some feet warm!

  Governing Body sick of waiting! They want the paradise they were promised!

  this post is going to suggest that the governing body remains, as ray franz wrote, "captives of a concept".

  like every jehovah's witness they were raised with the belief that the the paradise would be here by now.

  unlike others, they are in a position to do something about.. why wait to rule over the earth?

  No, they want to live in a whale, pinnochio style. LOL. Fortunately I have good editors for my books.

  Why wait to rule over the earth? We have been given our Big Brother's belonging! Now get to work and don't wear colored socks! We're the boss!
  
  Why live in a dirty city? Let's move upstate! But aren't the winters cold? No problem, we'll just construct luxury "educational centers" and "translation offices" in places like sunny Florida! Can I get one in Whales, too? No problem, let's just get some more of our "belongings" from the local congregation piggy bank.

  Jesus Christ, they've gone full Rutherford and these "translation offices" are the new Beth Sarim.

  Zone Visit: An Announcement That Will "Test Your Faith"

  by breakfast of champions in

  this is the scuttlebutt in one of the "bethel congregations" by us.. no details as to exactly what this "faith-testing" announcement might be.. anyone else hear any of this pre-zone visit hype?.

  The "test your faith" line was also used in the promo video for the Atlanta international convention. It was in regard to the convulated travel scheme, that had people going an hour of the way to get to the convention center, through designated public transportation routes. It seemed really odd, even non-sensical. Perhaps it was really a test run to see how compliant congregations would go to travel out of their way to a meeting?
  
  If there really is news, my guess is that US congregations will be merged, which may involve increased travel time/costs.
