  New Outline: ELDERS MEET WITH REGULAR PIONEERS

  by pixel in

  the outline for the annual meeting with pioneers is out.

  it talks about the gb and fds a lot.. look at this:.

  those taking the lead have shown that they are not sentimentally attached to material things.. they are willing to move the world headquarters to warwick, new york, because it will advance kingdom interests.

  LostGeneration >>> PREACHING METHODS (17 min.) From house to house

  Of course something the FDS GB would know nothing about. They just do administration.

  ok i've read similar threads to this before, but i just thought i would share a comment made by an aunt.

  my aunts bible student died, and due to the families wishes the funeral service was given in another church.

  my aunt with a disgusted look on her face when recalling the events to me said "and you know what, they must of only spent about 5 minutes talking about the person, and the rest of it was about the church".

  It's a gracious five minutes eulogizing the deceased.

  .

  By comparison, the JW funeral talk is approx. 30 minutes long - walloping a 28 minutes sales pitch.

  When was the significance of the year 1919 first stated?

  by jwfacts in

  .

  when was it first introduced that the watchtower organisation was chosen in 1919?

  i expect this was something first published under rutherford, as a way of making his leadership more important than that of russell, but would like some evidence to back that claim up.. .

  What the heck!? They believe to be anointed - 'either you are with us or against us'.

  Just to say you are commissioned ain't necessarily so! Years later they find out god even hasn't entrusted all his belongings to them as of 2013.

  They say there was a waiting period between Elijah's and Elisha's work (time of transition) and transpose it onto the years 1918-19 ("We understand it was in 1918 that the Elijah work ceased, and that in 1919 the Elisha work began" - 1925 The Watch Tower, February 1, page 38).

  From the 1927 Yearbook, page 21:

  It's a convoluted bit of everything: Elijah passing on the mantle to Elisha, the "virgins" being on alert, etc.

  They took it upon themselves to be the Lord's people and afterward tweaked the Scriptures to fit in.
