October 1914

by Quendi in

we have had a great discussion about world war i and its impact on the twentieth century.

i hope we can have an equally interesting exchange about october 1914. we all know how important that date was in the history of jehovah's witnesses but what may be murkier is the wts's later thinking on what happened that month and when.

charles taze russell and his followers expected the gentile times to conclude in that month with the battle of armageddon.

As was always suspected, Holy Spirt has got nothing to do with appointments.

9. Deletions during a regular visit to a congregation:

Recommendations for deletion because of poor judgment not of a judicial nature are usually best considered with the elders during the visit of the circuit overseer.

New "Caleb and Sofia" video on JW.ORG....you have to see it!

by stuckinarut2 in

ok, so i dont want to be a negative bitter person...and we all love little kids, but i am just so torn about the new video just uploaded on jw.org.

if you havent watched it yet, have a look at it...."an animated series that touches hearts".

(yes, its well done...and they certainly like to do a lot of boasting about their technical skills etc...).

. . . and I was under the impression Caleb was at the FIFA World Cup 2014 for the past month.
