Who knows the "The Pastor Russell Lecture Bureau" ?

by chasson in

concerning the early work in china, m. schulz has found something interesting:.

"working through the pastor russell lecture bureau, something called the bible study club was organized and a paper entitled bible study was published".

from "the chinese recorder", august 1913 he has quoted:.

Kenneson

"Jehovah's Witnesses--Proclaimers of God's Kingdom" page 489: mentions "From Chefoo, thousands of letters, tracts, and books were sent out between 1891 and 1900" "C.T. Russell spoke in Shanghai and visited 15 cities and villages, 1912" "Colporteurs distributed much literature up and down the China coast, with trips to the interior, 1912-1918"

The lecturers spoken of above are probably those individuals known as "pilgrims" or travelling overseers. I have seen several instances here in Florida newspapers where these Bible Students speakers visited, and the location and time of their lectures. Pastor Russell himself visited in Florida on several occasions and gave his lectures as well.

From the Bible Students I found the following info, which I suppose came from Zion's Watch Tower, but I don't see any dates.

What is really amusing is that 3dwitness and others claim that at the time the Watchtower Society associated itself with DPI, they were not required to support the Charter of the U.N. However, a press release in 1992 puts that claim to rest. JW apologists try to discredit it by claiming the writer of the press release was in error and that they do not depend on press releases for accuracy. LOl "To be granted association with DPI, NGOs must have national or international standing, SUPPORT the Charter of the United Nations, have a broadly based membership and possess the resources necessary for effective outreach." So, let's see the Watchtower Society does have national and international standing, has a broadly based membership and possesses the resources necessary for effective outreach (its literature), but we are supposed to believe that the writer was in error by claiming that NGOs were expected to SUPPORT the Charter of the U.N. 3dWitness is supposed to know what he is talking about but the writer of the press release was in error. LOL

Paul appealed to the Roman government, but the U.N. is NOT the government of the United States, nor of any other country. It is an ORGANIZATION which uses a base in the U.S. as its headquarters. NO ONE is a citizen of the United Nations. So, why claim that what the Watchtower Society did was appeal to it as Paul did the Roman government? No relationship. And yet in the same breath claim their expressed purpose was to have access to the U.N.'s library?

...Weird Ass Lights in the Sky...

good evening jwn!!...

as most of you know i live in a forest,in the mountains..at night there is very little light pollution... so the sky is one big theatre screen... i see shooting stars,northern lights,satellites,planes on a destination..it`s all very beautiful... tonight was different... .

tonight there was something in the sky that defied anything i`ve ever seen... it had multiple aircraft lights but not like regular airplane lights..it wasn`t a helicopter... it could go straight up or down... move in one direction then head in another..it could do all kinds of weird stuff... sometimes it just hovered..then start doing all these weird maneuvers... regular aircraft is going somewhere,it`s headed in a direction..not this thing... i watched a regular airplane pass it... .

I saw something in the news today about a ufo causing the closing down of an airport in China. I didn't pay too much attention to get any details.

The Truth stands on its own- WTBS or NO WTBS!

by theMadJW in

yes, the wtbs has done much deserving ridicule- yet does far more deserving credit and respect.. but this is not about them, but the truth about god and christ they have made known, by showing it to all in the scriptures.

because of this work, most know that god(s) is not the ultimate sadist bbqing billions in a mythical 'hellfire' anymore, etc!.

this topic is at the request of little bird- is it possible to have a peaceful discussion here- without all the self-righteous psychobabble from so many?.

Kenneson

To know the Truth, Maddest would have to know Jesus, but he's too busy trying to downplay him to ever have a relationship with him. The only relationship he seems to have is with himself.
