Disillusioned jw: I'm trying to be a watchtower historian. Studying these old publications for a second part time career, not even to be a part of the cult and its still very tiresome haha. But yeah there's no need to print and print and print and print and ect. Unless you just want to make money. I don't even have half the watchtower collection thats been released since the founding and if you count books, booklets, kingdom ministries, convention reports, reprints of books, and individual magazines within the bound volumes, movies programs different bibles talk outlines and sermons from all the eras I have almost 2000 if not more peices of watchtower paraphernalia. AND IM STILL NOT DONE COLLECTING! That is way to much. Way... To... Much

Long hair gal: my wife pioneered for a few years and still wasn't spiritual enough so yeah we get that. When I got reinstated I wasn't allowed to go out because of my beard and got ridiculed for not going out in service. You want us out or not? So we chose for them and it was not

The JW's greatest dogma...
by BoogerMan in....that god almighty/jesus personally selected j.f.
rutherford & wtbts inc. as a front for worldwide christianity, is an affront to worldwide christians.. the adage, “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence” was made for such spurious assertions.. as with jw's who claim, "jehovah answered my prayer for......," both claims rely on total credulity, and zero evidence of divine intervention.

That the gb was selected by God and they claim to be the personal mouthpiece of God. If Kenneth Copeland multiple personalities and cronies were running a printing cooperation they'd be the gb for watchtower

Question #2 for JW's
by BoogerMan inhow could the "two witnesses" mentioned in revelation chapter 11 possibly be j.f.
rutherford and his companions who got jailed and then released in 1919?.
w14 11/15 p. 30 - so in the fulfillment of revelation chapter 11, the anointed brothers who took the lead at the time of the establishment of god’s kingdom in heaven in 1914 preached “in sackcloth” for three and a half years.. watchtower november 15, 2014, p. 30 - revelation 11:7 says that it is "the wild beast that ascends out of the abyss" which kills the 'two witnesses'.. since the wild beast of rev.

As regards your second question, the prophecy to me has always felt chronological. If you look at it that way. Watchtower was only chronological up through the rutherford days in what I've seen. But even at that they were only chronological for the 7000 creative day timeliness. Also thats only based on what I've seen. So besides all that they just interpret prophocey to fit their needs when they need some good new articles to write

I don't know about rutherford and sons, but my buddy at work who follows Torah and I were talking about the two witnesses just a few days ago. We came to the conclusion that the two witnesses had to possibly be Moses and Elijah. Based solely on the transfiguration and no further research. We haven't had the time to look further into it.

Any connoisseurs of anything out there?
by Judgerussellford ini'm not a heavy drinker.
but in the last 8 years i've had over 200 different varieties of beer, liquor, and wine.
160 of those goes to beer.

Happy dad: I've experienced that almost any local craft brewery has the best beer in the area you are at. Colorado has some of the best I've personally had. But if the Minnesota beer is anything like Wisconsin cheese then I gotta go try some! Still want to try brews from other countries.
Truth be known: I've only had a couple whiskeys i enjoy. I'm more of a rum guy myself. But I haven't had a properly aged whiskey/bourbon either. But ill tell you this, the best vodka I've ever had is Russian, and I'd like to have some true absinthe from Germany. Hear it tastes like black licorice

Truth be known: my mom remembers the literature purchasing days. I was born into it in 94 (I know, I'm a whipper snapper) but I couldn't even imagine buying into a religion like that. Regular tithing at other churches and thier own tax evasion bothers me enough. But a cooperation masking itself as a religion is outrageous. And I remember the gb and elders and parts at meetings, bashing televangelist left and right. Now look at them. Even in kingdom halls its televangelism.
Longhairgal: are you old enough to remember 75? Only asking because you said you know others who quit their jobs. I personally love the books. For history reasons. I want to be a watchtower historian some day. I've been collecting for 2 years and have almost 1400 peices of watchtower related publications and items. That doesn't include what I have in files thanks to Atlantis on here!

Watchtower is just a cooperation that hides behind a religious title, that owns real-estate around the world, these buildings wich only have 1 purpose. A regularly scheduled extreme Book club. Your expected to read the books, study 1 book (bible) to go with your other minor books for years. You meet together in a building to discuss the books and what agenda you will have to go out recruiting for the said book club. Once your minor books are out dated then they cover it up with all of that old light, and move on the the newest book club book. Wash rinse and repeat. Don't forget to protect even the worst members of your book club. Field service is just ad campaigning for new members to join the book club
