Christ has returned because JW''s say so

23 “Then if anyone says to YOU, ‘Look! Here is the Christ,’ or, ‘There!’ do not believe it. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will give great signs and wonders so as to mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones.
Considering that the Greek word "kristos" literally means "anointed ones," then re-read the Scripture as:
23 “Then if anyone says to YOU, ‘Look! Here is the anointed,’ or, ‘There!’ do not believe it. 24 For false anointed ones and false prophets will arise and will give great signs and wonders so as to mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones.
Now do you think the WTS is guilty according to this text?

Switch-a-roo Publishers on Bible Studies?
by skeeter1 inwhen i studied with the jws, the first lady studied with me a few months.
then, all of a sudden.....switch-a-roo.....i was "dropped" by "lady #1" and told i had to take "lady #2".
the reason was that i needed a "more mature person" to be my guide.

It happened to me for a while, then the original guy took me back later on. At one time, pioneers needed to have at least one study to qualify to remain on the list (or new pioneers to get on the list). So if one pioneer had several studies and an aspiring pioneer had none, they would often give one to the newbie who needed it (or to the more experienced pioneer who just wasn't producing). Sort of like socialism applied to field service.

WHY DID RUSSELL ABANDON TRINITARIANISM?
by badboy inhe initally believed in it, but abandon the doctrine later.. why?.
-

NeonMadman
I heard an interesting talk by Jim Bjornstad of the faculty of Cedarville University on this topic at the Witnesses Now for Jesus conference a few years ago. His argument was more detailed, but the bare bones of it was that much of JW doctrine, including denial of the Trinity, flows from Russell's adamant denial of eternal punishment.
The idea of no eternal punishment leads right into the idea of the dead being unconscious, since the punishment for the wicked must be annihilation. If the dead are unconscious, that implies that Jesus was also unconscious (and therefore, for practical purposes, ceased to exist) for 3 days in the tomb. But if Jesus ceased to exist, He could not be God, therefore the Trinity must be false.
It's roundabout reasoning, and Bjornstad went into a lot more detail as to why one belief flows from the other, but that was the gist of it.
