  Remembering Rutherford

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. beliefs

  he seems to me to be the angriest and most ill-tempered of all the wt presidents, especially after his stint in prison and failed prophecies.. “regarding his misguided statements as to what we could expect in 1925, he [rutherford] once confessed to us at bethel, “i made an ass of myself.”” watchtower 1984 oct 1 p.24.

  rutherford died at beth sarim on january 8, 1942, at the age of 72.

  [220] cause of death was...carcinoma of the rectum..."[21] .

  Sea Breeze - "...He seems to me to be the angriest and most ill-tempered of all the WT presidents..."

  Yup.

  In another life, he and Father Coughlin would have been BFFs.

  If all GB members died at once?

  by Jofi_Wofo in

  i don't suppose anyone knows for sure, but do we have any kind of hint of what would happen if all of the governing body members died at the same time- such that nobody was left to appoint successors?

  in lieu of any solid evidence, i'd also be interested in hearing some speculation based on what we already know about the organizational structure.. it would certainly throw a wrench in either the teaching that the faithful and discreet slave will survive into the great tribulation and/or the implied doctrine that the the gb succession arrangement is justifiable biblically.

  let me firmly disclaim any implication that i am encouraging violence or wishing death on the governing body.

  Wait...

  ...aren't all the current GB members supposed to raptured taken away by Jehovah at the start of the Great Trib?

  So, if they all kicked the bucket at once, wouldn't that break JW loyalists' brains?

  9 Year Old Used Basic Logic And Came To An "Apostate" Conclusion

  by pistolpete in

  related experience;.

  basically what happened is my mom was studying with my 9 year old sibling and they were talking about the paradise.

  my sibling then proceeded to ask, in a clearly joking way, "what if jehovah was tricking us and we don't go to paradise?

  How on earth can WT lawyers continue to believe WT has God’s backing, when they see all the deception play out in Court.

  by pistolpete in

  2. beliefs

  here is a post on reddit from mark and kimmy o’ donnell, from the crusaders documentary,.

  ask us anything.. mr. o'donnell gives his assessment of why wt lawyers continue to defend the child sex abuse cases that the organization continues to fight, even though they see firsthand the deception, the lies, the withholding of facts and dirty tactics used in court.

  by an organization that claims to be god's earthly representative, and the only one to hold the truth.

  Doesn't the WTS keep a "worldy" law firm on retainer?

  I seem to recall an anonymous quote from one of them to the effect that they "...like their WT clients... they pay their bills on time, and are always in trouble..."

  Is the door to door preaching work not the primary focus anymore?

  by pistolpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a few months back, one of my uncles who was an elder, asked the co, why jehovah would allow the door to door preaching work, to come to an abrupt end.

  this was when my uncle was starting to have serious doubts about the organization.. the co told him to be patient, and hang in there, because the governing body was on top of things and in time would explain what is happening regarding the preaching work.. my uncle asked; “what do you mean?”.

  co said; “focus on the wt study articles in the coming months” .

  There were quiet (albeit rare) rumblings that the Org wanted to dial back the D2D work for a while now, for a handful of reasons.

  The way I see it, Covid just gave them a pretext.
