  Rutherford's death and "the evil servant"

  by Old Goat in

  2. scandals

  i became a witness a few years after rutherford died, so i know little about the events right after his death.

  i found this in the march 1942 informant:.

  "the effort of the demons is to scatter the lords sheep and to wean and lure them away from the lords theocratic organization and thereby cause them to fail of performance in the lords strange work.

  If you were a Witness, when did you realize the Governing Body was apostate?

  for more than 30 years i believed everything that came from the watchtower society, especially since i lived at bethel for a while and i knew a lot of the gb members, who to me seemed intelligent and personable.

  at the beginning, the emphasis was on the bible, the kingdom, jehovah and jesus.

  but gradually over time, there would appear an elephant in the room that no one seemed to talk about, such as the change in the understanding of "generation.

  one of the big adjustments for many of us was growing older and realizing retirement was a reality.

  did you have a company or government retirement package or personal ira or 401k.

  what advice would you give the 20 to 60 year olds coming to term with 'life in this system'..

  ...the reason being is that you will see how it all works...it is very scary and it will definately make you doubt.

  this maybe about scientology, but just replace that word with jehovah's witnesses and there is absolutely no difference.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfdl6ga1di0&feature=related.

  found this on another site a few years back.. .

  it was never enough.. i remember the first time as a kid i comprehended that i could never do enough for the organization.. a circuit overseer was giving a talk and said,:.

  sunday is meeting, and since you are dressed up you might as well do some field service after the meeting.. monday you should spend an hour or so in the evening preparing for the book study on tuesday.. tuesday is book study.. wednesday should be time for your family study, personal study, or preparation for all three.
