The official term for the Rank-and-File JWs is "Fools," usually with an obscene adjective attached.

What happened is this: Jesus and C. T. Russell got into the ethereal storage room for Passover wine, and Russell challenged Jesus to 1,000 rounds of "Rock, Paper, Scissors". Jesus promised Russell that if Russel won Jesus would say "Watch Tower is best."
Amazingly, Russell won!
That is really what happened, honest-to-God.

first of all an apostate is literally just someone who left.
most jws are technically apostates from the religions they were raised in.
Q.: Why do JW apostates tend to be activists against the religion?
A.: When persons are in great danger from a source that they do not suspect or are being misled by those they consider their friends, is it an unkindness to warn them? They may prefer not to believe the warning. They may even resent it. But does that free one from the moral responsibility to give that warning? -- THE WATCHTOWER January 15,1974
"the son is born of the father by generation, but generation should not be understood in the everyday sense.
the son is derived from the father through pure spiritual generation, through the unlimited sharing of his essence.
so, the birth of the son is an intellectual activity of god.".
The Book Of Fables is not meant to be understood, even by accused novelists.
my take is: 1914 is not biblical since no dates are in the bible.
a hodgepodge of scriptures are ingeniously linked together; then stir in about 9 creative assumptions to arrive at a speculative theory on which to base wts authority.. nathan knorr to fred franz.
"there are some things that i know.
Let us not forget the sewing machine and the steam locomotive, as pointed out by the venereal Judge Rutherford.
I think the discovery of a stable isotope of element 115 will be announced soon.
are we living in the prophetic last days that will climax into armageddon?
if this is true then how long should it take?
as jw saw it, wt compared timing to within a generation using 70 ad as a parallel.
Q.: Are we living in the LAST DAYS?
A.: YES. We are all MORTAL, and so each of us is living during his own "last days". Our timetables are independent and unrelated, unless we are terminated in some tragic catastrophe involving others. Are we living in the Last Days as foretold in The Book Of Fables? Hell no.
there is no way i will even try to read such long posts and i`m sure many others here would agree with me.. smiddy3.

Wow, 13 years ago and I have never noticed a single one of aqwsed12345's posts.
Surely Jehoba Gob himself is protecting me!
Is aqwsed12345 pronounced "accused12345"?

It is an easy thing to call names; any fool is equal to that, and the weapon of vituperation is generally used by those who lack brains for argument or are on the wrong side.

WingCommander said "This is a fuggin' joke, right? (blah blah blah)"
Well, Wingy, ol' buddy, ol' pal, I have to ask what have YOU done these past 17 years to benefit the XJW community?
Do you find it EASY to throw stones at those who unselfishly contribute more than you ever have? Is it a compulsion with you? Can you not help yourself?
Perhaps Barbara Anderson and others who appreciate Rick Fearon's dedication and consistency know something YOU DON'T KNOW.
Rick has assured us time and time again that "Johnny the Bethelite" was absolutely legitimate, while some know-it-alls, without any evidence other than their own imaginations INSIST that "Johnny the Bethelite" was a hoax.
Was "Johnny" ever inaccurate in anything he reported? Tell me when. How could a hoax be so accurate?
You can exercise the "freedom of the sons of god" and NOT LISTEN to SIXSCREENS if you wish.
For myself, I shall exercise my godless freedom to discount whatever you say and listen to SIXSCREENS each week, because I CHOOSE TO.
