Tie pins seem to be all the rage amongst them as well.
I gather it was a GB helper sitting next to him, he was wearing a pinky ring also.

1. Was Jesus’ 2nd coming in 1914?
No it was his presence
2. Is Jesus’ 2nd (parousia) presence the same thing as his ‘coming?’
No
3. Is the doctrine of the ‘faithful and discreet slave’ still regarded as a prophecy instead of a parable?
I'm not sure on their view regarding this but I think It's considered to be a parable that relates to the last days and not a prophecy.
4. Were the FDS appointed over ‘all His belongings’ in 1919?
No.
5. Did the Gentile Times end in 1914, or is that yet to come at a future date?
Yes it ended in 1914.
6. Is the ‘great tribulation’ in the past, the present, or yet to come in the future?
In the future.
7. Did Jesus die in order to save the ‘Great Crowd’?
No it was for the anointed only.
8. If the Bible was only written for the anointed, why should non-anointed bother to read it?
So that they know what was written to the anointed.
9. Was Charles Taze Russell a member of the anointed 144,000? If so, since what date?
Yes but I do not know the date.

Serena Williams
by New day ini am a big tennis fan and today i watched serena williams win the australian open, one of the four tournaments which make up the pinnacle of achievement in the tennis world, the grand slam.
in her victory speech the first thing she said was that she thanked her god jehovah for the victory.
now i know that rumours have circulated for a long time as to whether she is a baptised witness or not, but she is definitely associated with witnesses .

What does it say for the loser? That God does not love them or answer their prayers.

The bottom line is that the Society/Bethel has to resort to worldly methods in order to retain the young. -

GB says, "Our way of worship will soon be altered."
by Separation of Powers inmy mom called me yesterday to ask how i was doing.
i hadn't seen her in a while, so it was nice to hear her voice.
we went through the motions of jw small talk and then she started telling me about her co visit from last week.

I was talking to a JW relative last week and what they said floored me. They said that very soon Jehovah would be gradually bringing in the new system of things. At the time I was more concerned about their family situation and focused on discussing this rather than that casual comment.
It was the word gradually that was really strange. The idea has been mentioned on here before that the GB may make the bold statement that the GT has started to gain more control over the r&f.
I don't know what to make of it as no-one else has mentioned the idea.

Magnum is correct. There is even a detailed Watchtower article that ridiculed anyone teaching that the FDS was only the GB. Sorry but I don't have the time to find it at the moment. -

To see the letter better on Internet Explorer there is a tool bar on the top far right, if you click on it one of the options is a zoom button, choose 400% when your page is on the letter and you can use the bottom and right sliding bar to read the letter. Go back to the tool bar and reset it to 100% when you are finished. -

Regarding Kingdom Halls the Society has left it up to the collective conscience of the body of elders that use it. Who owns these Kingdom Halls that have been dedicated to God for worship? If it is the body of elders then it should rightly be their decision. If it is the Society then they have the obligation to ensure that it is used according to their instructions. I guess their instructions are to leave it up to the body of elders but it means that any decision made by the elders are sanctioned by them 100%.
