Where can I find WT first mention of 1918 inspection ?
by Phizzy in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
sorry to ask, but i have tried searching it on here and haven't come up with the first instance of the expounding of the idea , based on malachi 3, that jesus inspected, and approved ratherfraud and gang in 1918.. i would guess it is first in a rutherford book, and later in the wt ?.

i would like to read the idea as it was first expressed as new light (tm) and any changes to the teaching in subsequent years, can anybody help ?.

this is only academic interest so don't break your neck helping, but it may prove of interest to many to see the basis of the idea, a doctrine that in recent years is never explained , just referenced as fact, a bit like 1914 is..

the unique animals of austrailia ( kangaroo, walaby,koala bear, platapus etc) found their way to that isolated body of land once noah let them off the ark?

if they migrated there from mt.

ararat, it seems there would be fossils of them found between there and austrailia.

Religion and Cults

2. bible
i've heard certain people here refer to jehovah's witnesses as a mind-control cult, high-control cult; theories perpetrated for how long i don't know, but at least since the days of ray franz.

i had spent nearly forty years as a full time representative, serving at every level of the organizational structure.

the last fifteen years i had spent at the international headquarters, and the final nine of those as a member of the worldwide governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

just thought i should share a bit of my story with you all, i'm on this board everyday and can't stop reading.

i was raised as a witness by my mother and grandmother, dad and gramps weren't witnesses.

i was baptized at 15, i believed it was the truth but was still pushed into baptism by my mom, she thought it reflected negativly on her as a mother that i wasn't dipped yet.

i've always been told that i have a very good personality, that i'm humorous, etc.. one elder called me over and said that i was "smiling too much".

the other elders talked to the elder who counseled me and he came back to say that i should be like i was .
