If he's in Singapore, not much the FBI can do. If he's in the USA, then this is all a fabrication - which ultimately the FBI won't do anything.

If he's a troll, then we've answered the thread's question : Yes, he's drifted too far.

If the stories are true: Yep, he's drifted too far..

For the Disillusioned

by no-zombie in

a problem for all who come to realize that our faith is just another manmade religion, is that we start questioning everything we've previously believed.

where ultimately its possible to spiral down past believing in the bible, to the point of questioning god's actual existence.however while some may be happy to think of themselves now as atheists or agnostics (which i doubt that most really are, as living with the full mental and emotional consequences of being one is a lot harder than most understand), i don't think it is necessary to abandon being a spiritual person.

while others might like the idea of drifting into a modern animistic philosophy (which rather conveniently excludes personal accountability), the keeping of the core teachings of jesus has historically proven to give many people a balanced and practical moral code to live by.but what is meant by the term: 'the core teachings of jesus'?interestingly many thinkers from the enlightenment period of the late 1700s, had similar a question.

Charles Taze Russell & His Secret Mission To S. California That Killed Him

by West70 in

the last 5 months of charles taze russell's life was quite hectic, and according to reports in the watch tower magazine, russell's health was declining throughout.

in september, 1916, russell went on a convention train tour which lasted nearly the entire month.

this train tour included stops in several southern california locations around the 8th through the 12th.

Anyone have any idea what "business propositions" in southern California were so significant that Russell could not have handled such by letter or telegraph?

Yes. In those days the official offices of The Kerfuffles, the secret organization that rules the world, were in California. Several WT presidents and GB members have made a bid for a seat. Not all make it. Depending on what they see or learn during the interview, they may need to be terminated.

BUT the fact C.T. Russell had NO official autopsy indicates murder CANNOT remain discounted. I find the fact the time, from Russell's death to burial, means only one thing: suspicious death

Exactly.
