Governing Body Are They The Faithful And Discreet Slave Or The Faithful and Discreet Shyster

by frankiespeakin in

this new 100th memorial year of the begining rule of the imaginary kingdom of the heavens is turniing out to bring windfall profits to the watchtower corporation.

already the gb are selling real estate like there was no tomorrow and the way it looks this is just the begining as they try to liquidate assets before the "great disappointment" gets in full swing, take the money and run seems to be the new tune for these charlatans.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wcfugcollu.

faithful to what?

Unfaithful and indiscreet to say the least...

New Light - I've figured it out (and it's mine so don't you 'tates steal my royalties or MY followers - they belong to me [evil maniacal laughter] )

by berrygerry in

so, we continue to face mounting challenges with 607 vs 587 (20 year differential), and the generation dying out.. therefore, after a personal (420 free - honest) research and revelation, it would appear that 587 is the correct launch date.. with respect to the 7 times, russell had been influenced by john a. brown into using a year of 360 days, when prescience would most surely indicate that at the time of discovery (2014) one would use the number of days of that respective calendar, i.e.. 365 1/4 days, an additional 5.25 days per year.. so, 7 x 5.25 = 36.75, which, using the biblical principle of rounding down, is 36 years.

(a day for a year).. adding the 20 year differential to the 36 years now gives us 56 years, which when added to 1914 ce, brings us to 1970 ce.. when we ask the god google, the significance of 1970, it tells us that earth day began 4/22/1970 (note not 4/20).. and who came to the aid of the woman (rev.

was it not the earth?.

I'd better invent (or steal) some new light of my own before there are no more followers left for me...

Hey venting.

Welcome and thank you for being willing to post and share in spite of challenges.

Personally I rely on the spell checker in MS Word.

I copy and paste my posts into Word, and then fix the spelling mistakes.

Did the GB ever receive new light without the passage of time forcing it upon them?

by Zoos in

1914 did not bring the end they were hoping for so new light shone down from above and corrected their understanding.. 1925 also led to unfulfilled expectations and so new light was bestowed.. .

(i could go through all the dates and expectations... but i won't.).

what if the new light about 1914 being the year that christ returned was provided before 1914?

Fernando

Great question and topic.

Without the passage of time, and without questions and contrary proof from the R&F or detractors?

I doubt it...

Congregation Pledge Disgusted Elder

by rrb2016 in

at the meeting the other night, the elder who had to read the announcements, which included the $$ info for the new donation arrangement seemed downright disgusted as he read the announcements and asked for the vote.

he said, "well, here is another organizational change" as he read the letter about the discontinuation of the 2nd meeting during co visit.

then after they voted, he said if you have any questions ask this other elder as if he wanted nothing to do with it.

Fernando

May the disgust multiply unabated along with the insanity of the Watchtower ruling religious clergy class, until the whole ugly mess implodes...

A glaring example of how Watchtower's insertion of "Jehovah" corrupts the NT

by Island Man in

"the rnwt replaces "kyrios" (lord) with "jehovah" in translating romans 14:8 as follows:.

"for if we live, we live to jehovah,*+ and if we die, we die to jehovah.

* so both if we live and if we die, we belong to jehovah.".

Fernando

Another great reminder of why it is so great to be free of the apostate and controlling Watchtower organisation.

'Enemies' by J.F. Rutherford

by Pleasuredome in

theres a book on ebay called 'enemies' by j.f.

rutherford.

ive never heard of this book before, does anyone know anything about it?

Fernando

From page 71 of "Enemies" (some OCR errors corrected):

The Devil is man's worst enemy, and his religion
is likewise a deadly enemy to man. The
Devil's organization is symbolised by an unchaste
or impure woman, which is called "Babylon".
Therefore all religions are of Babylon,
and particulary the leading religion known in
the lands called "Christendom".

All the nations, kindreds and peoples on the
earth since the flood have had and practiced,
and do continue to have and practice, some
form of religion, and each and every one has
been made so to do by the wily influence of that
wicked one the Devil, and his associate wicked
spirit. It is therefore written in the Bible of
and concerning Babylon that 'she has made all
the nations drunk with the wine of her fornication'.
(Revelation 14: 8)

i had an idea.

i was reading about the success of the kony 2012 video and was wondering if anyone would be interested in making a documentary to coincide with the international conventions and the 100 year anniversary of gods kingdom.

the video would be less than 30 minutes long.
