what is russell's motive when he started examining the bible with a group of bible students?
did he intend to form a cult and to mislead others?

See the well informed "Watch Tower History" website.

i remember an elder questioning a woman who had admitted to giving and receiving oral sex from her unbelieving mate.
he asked her the most intimate questions which clearly flustered her.
interestingly, she “confessed “ to the elders because her conscience bothered her.
A CO at the circuit assembly: “don’t complain. If you are a cleaner now because you went pioneering and brother x has a house and a new car. It was your decision to pioneer”.
it blow my head off to hear such a cold saying.
G’s lovely JW mother “we can always trust the brothers”.
G’s good JW father: “If you quit, don’t write a letter of DA. They will hang you”.
Elder: “does your garden behind your new house have a separate exit? You will need it during Armageddon”.
Elder during elder meeting: “some one here must made a serious sin. I feel the holy ghost is not present”.
Elder during servant meeting: “brothers tell us your opinion about the elders performance. Let your hart spreak, it will have no consequentions”. I was sitting next to him and asked “why are you making detailed notitions including names?”

what do you think the crazies or strangest book they ever printed is?.
The Happyness book.
They published it in the dark early eighties. Made no one happy.
Remembering the elders made a huge copy of the book; an enourmous golden book stand on the platform. That made some impression, G. was 10 years old.
Makes me sad thinking about all these books. Once studied they lost their value.
Instant knowledge to keep the rank and file busy.

i dont know if it was the same for you, but for me when i was a jw meeting days seemed to have a black cloud hanging over them.
on thursdays i knew i would be going to the meeting that evening.
that i would be getting into my meeting clothes at 6:30pm, leaving the house at 6:55pm and be sat in the kingdom hall from 7:15pm-9pm, then milling around for about half an hour before finally getting home for 10pm.
Yep, remember the feeling, even more when I had an assignment at the meeting. A few evenings preperation.
Never missed this any moment.
Remembering my last assignment at the service meeting, leaving the platform knowing it was my last time there. Never felt better in my life!

are all the gb members past and present, part of skulls and bones and other masonic secret societies?
we know the first few top brass were, like br rutherford and br russel.. they all have several expensive watches.
like literally more than one for everyday of the week, rolex and omega, where did they come from?
Simple, there is a jewelry donation desk at Warwick. For real! Check the recent watchtower telephone index provided somewhere here
i remember getting my ass beat .
in 1987 / 1988 for listening to atlantic star.
they had a song called always.. my mother sat me down anmd told me listening to music like that would just rile up my emotions and make me look for a girl to fornicate with.. like at the age of 10 i was going to take it to that level.. my mother later banned r and b from our home.... i find it all hilarious now, but a friend of mine actually sent me a link to the jw broadcast and said i had to watch this.. i told him there was no way, but he said just start at the 50:40 mark.. i do not believe that this is what the org is doing now???.
The more mainstream approach is not bad. They forget to change some fundamental issues.

jw father in law in hospital, this weekend, maybe last days of his life.
with his last energy he was reading a watchtower magazine for comfort.
i could understand.
JW father in law in hospital, this weekend, maybe last days of his life. With his last energy he was reading a Watchtower magazine for comfort. I could understand.
Then he is too tired and puts the magazine away. I take it to arrange his hospital desk.
And then, I feel the magazine is heavy like a feather, has not more then 10 pages like a postal stamp.
It made me think things are not up in JW country anymore.
Such a thin magazine makes a JW think, is it??
G.
don’t know if it was part of the script.. at the memorial the remark about growing annointed numbers including this numbers from 2015 to 2017 was made (from 13.000 to 18.000+).. reason for the growing numbers could be:.
- feeling annointed because of former believe.
- psychical reasons.
The elder said during the memorial “with growing JW numbers it would not be a surprise that the annointed number is growing. There could be a correlation between it”.
I an currious If this was in the script.
Because it was an Amsterdam congregation, it could be a liberal suggestion. The Dutch are not known for their strictness and loyality. We like to think on our own.
A recent CO told our congregation that Dutch witness make a cost / benefit calculation and are thinking “what’s in it for me” first.
