  Hello everyone,

  Just some thought provoking points,

  from the WTBS Inc. CD-Rom 2001 edition,

  which has publications from the year 1950 to 2001.

  Let’s start :

  1* organization :

  - n° of times use of the word…………….16,083 times

  - n° of times in the whole Bible …….. …… 0

  - maximum n° of times use in one article…… 39

  (w.15.3.85 , pages 15-20 )

  2* 1914

  - n° of times use of the word……………….6,150 times

  - n° of times in the whole Bible …….. …… 0

  - maximum n° of times use in one article…… 64

  (w. 15.10.66, pages613-626 )

  3* 1919

  - n° of times use of the word……………….2,321 times

  - n° of times in the whole Bible …….. …… 0

  - maximum n° of times use in one article…… 23

  (w. 1.05.55 pages 265-268) )

  4* theocracy

  - n° of times use of the word…………………715 times

  - n° of times in the whole Bible …….. …… 0

  - maximum n° of times use in one article…… 41

  (w. 15.01.94 pages 10-15 )

  5* obedience

  - n° of times in the whole Bible …….. …… 15

  - maximum n° of times use in one article…… …. 50

  (w. 15.09.52 pages 557-565 )

  6* elders

  - n° of times use of the word…………………8,747 times

  - n° of times in the whole Bible …….. …… 55

  - maximum n° of times use in one article…… …. 41

  (w. 1.03.77 pages 148-152 )

  7* sheperd

  - n° of times use of the word…………………4,126 times

  - n° of times in the whole Bible …….. …… 95

  - maximum n° of times use in one article…… …. 83

  (w. 1.08.53 pages 464-477 )

  8* overseer

  - n° of times use of the word…………………6,147 times

  - n° of times in the whole Bible …….. …… 29

  - maximum n° of times use in one article…… …. 40

  (w. 1.03.66 pages 143-149 )

  Quite interesting ! Btw, for the combined total of the last 3 , i.e.

  elders, sheperd, overseer you get :

  - n° of times use of the words……………………..19,020 times

  - n° of times, for the 3 words in the whole Bible …….179 times.

  I do hope you had..some fun, but really it’s

  all ..pure indoctrination alias brainwashing .

  If you wish some more…just suggest.

  WTS Unwittingly Condemns Itself

  by NeonMadman in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  note the following gem from the watchtower of 1994:.

  *** w94 12/1 p. 6 the 20th-century denial of god ***.

  the clergy have also denied god by turning their backs on his moral standardsas evidenced, for example, by a steady stream of lawsuits against pedophile priests.

  Hello minimus,

  thanks for the raised questions. A true and logical answer would be quite

  long, but most of us know already the issue. I do believe that HS, in her

  comment made a well written, thought provoking conclusion:

  "I suspect that a lot of anger that we feel toward the WTS is transferred anger.

  Perhaps we would be far better off looking inward at ourselves and trying

  to discover what it was about ourselves that allowed us to become such

  easy WTS fodder and honestly quantify whether we are still vulnerable

  to the same dangerous syndrome. "

  I'm sure that individually we could apply this point...unless we did

  it already quite a long time ago.

  Hello everyone,

  Just a few words,

  Refiners fire:

  "If their "Favoured status was restored" then they must have had a previous favoured status , yes? Well if they had that, why did they go to captivity. Lol. But I like this quote, it clearly reflects the "demand for purity" that often follows prophetic disappointment. New purified teachings, lost since apostolic times, are revealed to the disappointed "

  Brilliant and logical comment, using the WTBS Inc.’s printed words.

  It is on this line of thought that I do my researches, hoping that

  following the - chronology of events – from its starting point, one would really see how and where the WTBS Inc. is really wrong, contradicts previous statements, writes plain and straight lies, shows hupocrisy etc.

  Minimus: thank for commenting. . As for :

  " ..what difference does it make?"

  I'm sure that among all those who read the posts, someone will find very

  interesting and maybe useful.

  Lisa: thanks for your appreciative comment.

  "I only hope there are some reading who will truly ... 'get the sense of it.'

  It is my hope too.

  Blackguard: I'll try again to find the quote.

  Hello Duncan,

  thanks for the very interesting subject. Well written, logic and by

  consequence raising so many thought provoking points.

  I'm sure that many of us had a " Ted" in their own life...

  but now, after 10, 20, even 30 or 40 years later...everything

  looks so different and so many questions must come into

  the mind.

  Where into all this is ...the message of the mighty

  WTBS Inc. ??? I don't know , but surely I do know - now -

  where some of the huge fortune is.

  Hello blackguard,

  Ive found most of the quotes on the Soviet leader Nikita S. Khrushchev

  *** w57 4/1 203 Communist Hypocrisy *** Communist Hypocrisy

  Why do we not declare in our program that we are atheists? asked Nikolai Lenin in 1905. The Communists, of course, thought they would get more adherents by not advertising their atheism. But when it suits them and when it makes their propaganda more effective, Communists do not hesitate to call on God. Recently Soviet leader Nikita S. Khrushchev said that though Stalin made mistakes, they had not been essential, and asked that God grant that every Communist should be able to fight like Stalin. Khrushchevs calling on God to make all Communists like Stalin prompts the quoting of a passage from Robert E. Sherwoods book RooseveltandHopkins: Suddenly Stalin exclaimed, May God help this enterprise to succeed! (The translation of this remark, as given by Churchill to Roosevelt, was: May God prosper this undertaking!) I have been told that it was by no means unusual for Stalin, who had been educated for a time in a religious seminary, to invoke the aid of the Deity. Hypocrisy knows no boundaries in the realm of communism

  *** w58 6/1 349 The Kremlin and the Vatican *** The Kremlin and the Vatican

  Russias Nikita Khrushchev, an atheist, recently granted an interview to the Hearst Newspapers editor-in-chief, William Randolph Hearst. At the close of the interview the Soviet leader said that God is but a mask put on by some people whose actions are contrary to humanism. Khrushchev continued: They lean on the word of God and then violate it. How can we understand it when churchmen, clergymen, throw holy water on guns that are intended to kill people? Is that the highest showing of mans spirit? God is being used by these people for hire. They are Pharisees.

  *** w60 8/1 451 Do You Turn the Other Cheek? *** Since 1914 the world has had a new character . . . it closed a long era of general peace and began a new age of violence, according to H. R. Trevor-Roper, don at Oxford University. Hand in hand with the age of violence came a new set of standards of conduct: Swindle others before they swindle you. Get everything you can, and preserve everything you get. Fight fire with fire. People have come to be governed by these standards; they are looked on as being more practical. Nikita Khrushchev recently commented on his view of Christs teachings and particularly what he thought about turning the other cheek. I dont agree with turning the other cheek. If I was struck on the left cheek I would strike the fellow back on the right so hard, what is more, that I would knock his block off.

  *** w61 7/1 389 Born to Believe in God *** MEN were born to think about God. They were created to worship and serve their Creator exclusively. This fact the Bible makes clear. (Ex. 20:2-5) Therefore, no matter how hard some men try to dismiss God from their minds, God has a way of coming to the fore in their thoughts.

  For example, hardened materialists, such as Russias Nikita Khrushchev and others, quite regularly bring up the subject of God even though they say they do not believe. When the Soviet rockets and earth satellites penetrated outer space, Y. T. Fadeyev, head of the Russian scientific-atheistic section of the journal ScienceandLife, in a speech said: The fact that satellites and rockets have not detected the All-Highest, angels and so on, bears testimony against religious convictions and strengthens disbelief in God.

  One is almost forced to laugh at the childishness of such arguments, because what adult would expect rockets or satellites to search out supernatural angelic creatures or detect evidences of the Almighty Spirit? As Jesus Christ said: God is a Spirit, and those worshiping him must worship with spirit and truth. Yet from this report it is evident that these materialists do think about God, whether they believe in him or not.John 4:24.

  *** w66 10/15 625 What Has God's Kingdom Been Doing Since 1914? *** But what has Gods Messianic kingdom done about this since 1914? It has protected its anointed ambassadors. Adolf Hitler tried to kill them off in his Greater German Reich. Benito Mussolini tried to suppress them in the then Fascist Italy. Joseph Stalin and Nikita Khrushchev tried to put them out of action in Communist Russia, and other dictatorial rulers and states have tried to do the same in their lands. But thousands of these anointed ambassadors, who have heavenly citizenship, have survived till today and are still active, working for the reconciliation of the estranged peoples. Gods Messianic kingdom has preserved them!

  w74 12/15 761-2 Benefits and Rewards from Being Spiritually Secure *** True to prediction, these false Christs have risen up, not particularly in the form of individual men, but in political and economic systems to whom Messianic powers have been ascribed and through which Messianic blessings were expected. For example, as when Nikita Khrushchev promised that Russian Communism of his brand would establish paradise for the people. And how could we ever forget that, in December of 1918, the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America hailed the proposed League of Nations as the political expression of the Kingdom of God on earth?

  Anything that might interest you??
