What happened to GB member Leo Greenlees??
by IslandWoman in

2. friends
i would like to ask jws who are visiting here to go check their watchtower indexes for leo greenlees.

he was a member of the governing body, he also is the only governing body member whose disappearance from the gb is not documented in watchtower literature!

the announcement of the death, resignation or dismissal of every gb member can be found in watchtower publications except that of leo greenlees!!!

one of the things that always annoyed me about the wts is there rigid belief that there is no other intelligent life in the universe.

i always believed that there was at the very least a mathematical chance and just common sense.

as a species humans are not all that.

I need help/info on other religions vs the WTS
by Leander in
1. jw
2. friends
over the past week since i've announced that i was stepping down i have had a few conversations with my family, and against my better judgement i mentioned that i was having doubts.

invariably almost every discussion about the jw religion eventually boils down to the argument that only witnesses are doing this or that.

unfortunately this is a weak part of my debate, i have only been associated with the jw religion so i have very little information on what other religions beleive and practice.

Was J.F. Rutherford - Exonerated?
by Amazing in
1. jw
2. friends
one of the cornerstones of the watchtower society's claims about the 1918 trial of joseph f. rutherford and seven other co-defendants, is that the trial was a travesty of justice, where the defendants were railroaded off to prison.. to make their point, the society has repeatedly stated that joseph rutherford and his fellow defendants were "exonerated" of all charges, and subsequently released from prison fully vindicated.

the society also attributed this 'victory' to jehovah's hand in matters, restoring the symbolic 'two witnesses' spoken of in revelation, and thereby, reactivating the kingdom preaching work.. what actually transpired is that the convicted defendants filed a petition for a "writ of error.

" (trial transcript, pages 1-10, parts 1-30 ) the writ of error was allowed by the trial court, judge howe, and granted by the district court judge chatfield, whom the society earlier objected to and had removed from their trial, because they felt he would not be fair to them.. what does this mean?
