Wasn't it said in the literature that the Greek story of creation had a close resemblance with the bible when you use the books of Genesis and Peter for comparisons. I am referring to the fall of the titans being associated with the fallen angels of Genesis. Then Peter mentions their fate being the prison of Tartarus which is the same word used in the Greek story. It was a prison only for the gods.

What about that Apophis asteroid coming in 2029? I read it was going to get near where the satellites orbit. Can the world temporarily live without communication and GPS location tracking if it does some damage? If something does happen the org may use this as "signs from heaven" proof.

They believe the serpent had legs in the Watchtower June 1, 1964. Question from Readers.
They don't believe the serpent had legs in the Watchtower June 15, 2007. Question from Readers.
It all depends on who is in charge at the time.

Both the Boa and Python share that vestigial rear limb gene. I saw a yellow python with some a long time ago at a public venue. The snake had large dual talons on either side of its body. They were rubbing up against the scales. It could move them at will. The talons looked like eagle claws.

Welcome to the forum TxNVSue2023. This may not be the best place to get encouragement on staying with the organization. Many of us come here to question the decisions of those in charge. At least you can express your opinion here without being sent to the back room.
I don't think they'll let you go out in service yet even though you have been reinstated, A baptized relative of mine became inactive for years. When she decided to come back to the meetings a pioneer had to study with her. They want to find out if you are a true believer again. They want to make sure you will be preaching correct truths.

It all boils down to Matthew 24:30. What that sign is, only the heavens know.

Thanks for posting that image of The Herald of the Morning DisgruntledFool.
Herald of the Morning-No1,Vol7
I did not know the 1914 date was predicted way back in 1878. It is interesting to see how Barbour divided the timeline into three worlds per 2 Peter's account. It would have been cool if he could have explained the three heavens that were parallel in 2 Peter as well.
1st heavens: fallen angels ruled in human form
2nd heavens: No one ruled. It was a free for all
3rd heavens: 144,000 ruled from heaven. Oops that wasn't invented yet. Barbour & Russell rule from heaven

This belief of Rutherford sounds like it was conceived from the fantasy novel Angels and Women published in 1924, which was based on an earlier novel entitled Seola in 1878. The WT had Seola refined to their liking and was then republished in 1924. Look at the difference between the two books with regard to the Great Center of which Rutherford was talking about, particularly the star Alcyone.
Angels and Women - 1924
Now notice in the original version of Seola we find out how many stars surround the Great Center. For some reason Rutherford wanted the seven stars not to be mentioned in the edited version. This definitely makes a connection to the Pleiades constellation.
Seola - 1878

Yes, the JW's in Hong Kong are on their own. Communist China will come down hard on the remaining flock. I wonder if the congregations there will experience the same problems that happened in Russia.

Is the 1000 year reign literal?

Here's another question. How long was it from Adam's creation to the appearance of the serpent in the garden? There might be a formula that comes from this. One perfect man requires a smaller amount of years before testing but an entire civilization requires n times Pi divided by 360 plus 30 lunar moon revolutions times two solar eclipses.
