"the sole purpose of our existence as a society is to announce the kingdom established in 1914 and to sound the warning of the fall of babylon the great [in 1918].
we have a special message to deliver.
"--- fred franz's words to bethel family, november 17, 1979..
:
It has always been some SPECIAL message - issued from but ONE publishing house..
:
Be it further resolved, that we will not have any part with or spend our time listening to human teachers who desire to express their private interpretation of God’s Word, but will at all times use The Watchtower and other books and booklets put out by the above-named society.
The Watchtower - April 1, 1934, page 109
concise thoughts from the wtbts.
par.2) however, there are numerous situations for which the bible provides no specific command.. par.3) in the absence of specific laws, how can we know what choices will please jehovah?.
par.16) many matters could be decided one way or another, and jehovah would still be pleased.. .

Everything else is fluff.Par.2) However, there are numerous situations for which the Bible provides no specific command.
Par.3) In the absence of specific laws, how can we know what choices will please Jehovah?
Par.16) Many matters could be decided one way or another, and Jehovah would still be pleased.
i never really did but lots of the "friends" did like one brother who felt the cold and had "his chair" by the window and was always closing the window when everyone else wanted it open.. karter..
can someone tell me please when was the first time that the wts published something to the effect that the kingdom of god was born in heavens in 1914 / jesus enthroned invisibly in 1914 ?
i see an obscure reference to an article in a golden age magazine in 1930 but i can't find the actual quote,.
not looking for quotes that talk about the "coming" or "presence" since 1914. i'm looking for actual mention that the kingdom started in heavens in 1914. when was the first ever time this was clearly said in the publications?
The earliest references I came across, so far:
wt 1927, August 1, page 230

wt 1928, September 1, page 260
i was visiting with my family and it seems the rc was worse than i thought.
now they all seem to think that "we are so close to the end" and that the "brothers are really preparing us for the gt".
some even saying that soon our message will change to a judgement message for mankind and talking about how we need to improve "everything we do".
Just a question. Judgement message, what will that be?
.
Back in 1969 they said this:
"This judgment message has to do specially with the international organization for world peace and security, which the clergy have claimed to be the “political expression of the Kingdom of God on earth,” but which the symbolic locusts tormentingly proclaim is a mere man-made substitute for God’s Messianic kingdom and is therefore doomed to fail and be destroyed by God’s true kingdom (w69 p. 721 par. 34)."
Perhaps it will be a flyer of sorts, chucked under your door, to proclaim the United Nations will be x-rayed to hell ... soon.
Remember all those pronouncements (trumpet blasts) against the clergy? The countless resolutions to whoever?
It's all been forgotten, lest never be noticed. Who cares?
i've setup an ssl certificate so you can now use https to browse the site.
this creates an encrypted connection between your browser and the server which is more secure and prevents urls visited from being shown in router logs, content can't be eavesdropped etc.... there are also some performance benefits but they won't kick in until i make some more changes.. consider it experimental for now but at some point it will likely automatically redirect you to the secure version of a page.. you can try it by adding 's' to the http part of any address or just goto the home page and browse from there (some mixed content means you may not get the fully green https status in your browser just yet though).. let me know if you have any issues using the site..
Yep, thanks.
