can anyone state what year russell & co. first introduced the cross & crown on the cover of the watch tower?.
The cross and crown are Biblical references. And whatever you do... Please don't promote stup*d @ss conspiracies about Christian symbology at least before doing some real research, YouTube conspiracy fear mongers are just rotten minded idi*ts with nothing else to do apparently. Don't fall for their crap nonsense.
There is nothing wrong with using the cross and crown as a symbol of sacrifice and victory over evil. It has been used like this by many groups over centuries of Christian history.
pursue peace assembly 2022 shows a resurrected, newly shaven joseph, the son of jacob and rachel, having a nice dinner at a beautiful restaurant in the new system.
the survivors of armageddon all want to know if joseph can share stories about his life.. ''can you tell us what egypt was like?
what was pharaoh like?''.
SPECULA is the Latin word for a watchtower, just saying.
i have a cousin in law that is in the inner sanctum of the jw's at warwick.
he and his wife were always traveling on the wtbts's dime all over the world to visit bethels and report back etc.
they have been in lockdown for over 2 years and now it looks like the gates have opened for him and wifey to travel all over again.
In Spain all congregations have been told to get rid of their bank accounts. All money will now go to Aljavir and congregations will request through JW.0rg for bills to be paid like water, electricity, gas. Spain Bethel will handle all congregations business.
It is a trial run to later implement absolute control in other branches too.
here in 2022 if anyone says anything against the vaccines even a little bit you are almost apostate.. someone once mentioned all vaccinated sports stars collapsing and someone else said not to speak badly about the gb or by extension jehovah.. the gb can’t get out of this one, it’s gone too far.
it’s now the case that if you speak against the vaccines you are speaking against the gb and by extension jehovah .
Until such a time that reliable scientific proof is provided all these fear mongering antivax conspiracy bullsh!t theories remain just that.
And one can only feel sad that people fall for this idiotic sort of nonsense.
I follow several and not one sports player has died from a blood clot caused by a vaccine in any professional team I know of. There have been a lot of people getting Covid even after being vaccinated but only mild to light symptoms from what I have seen and read.
Fear mongering doesn't do anyone any good, it just makes simpletons out of those who swallow such lies and nasty people of those who knowing better spread lies.
https://youtu.be/2nc7twdw_9sfreemasons including charles taze russell knew for a fact jehovah is not god's name ,they knew that jehovah is just an amalgamation of vowels of adonai and the consonants of the tetragramaton.
it was common knowledge amongst freemasons prior to 1871 that not only jehovah is not god's name but it was created for the sole purpose of stopping people pronouncing god's real name.i will let that sink in for a moment.
being in full knowledge of these facts makes you think what russell's true intentions were for creating jehovah's witnesses as a religion in the first place because as sure as hell it was not for promoting the divine name.many have tried to make the case over the years the russell was not a mason or if he was he was very poorly educated in the masonic doctrines but this is not the case , in fact if you spend some time reading his writings you realise that the exact opposite is true.he was so thoroughly versed in freemasonry that he was trying to create a cross bread between christianity and freemasonry, and thats what i think his true intentions were to take freemasonry to its next level of infiltration of the christian faith, he was an apostate for the freemasons but russell saw himself as the next albert pike,unfortunately that didn't work out for him and he ultimately paid the price...read the rest herehttps://tevangelinos.wixsite.com/jwupdates/post/what-do-freemasons-really-know-about-jehovah
The name Jehovah is a Catholic invention and therefore any translation that uses even KJV they are using a made up name.
Dear Fake raymondfranz,
I knew the real Raymond Franz, and I feel blessed I had a chance to work with him. When you post silly stuff here using his name as your username on the forum, I see it as an insult to that great man's name and reputation. If you are going to continue using his name then have the decency to respect his memory. Don't post silly stuff that lacks substance and makes you seem ignorant.

I think it is disgusting when some ignorant twit starts in with their baseless opinions about the tetragrammaton and how it was pronounced two thousand years ago. We are in the 21st Century. Who cares if the pronunciation changes! We speak English now, and and if you are a believer, what? Do you have to talk to God in Hebrew? Which form of Hebrew? What Abraham spoke? What Moses spoke? What was spoken in the time of David? Or how about in Daniel's time? Or the time second temple? How about Talmudic Hebrew? Modern Hebrew? What accent? Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Yemenite, Mizrahi?
This thing about the correct pronunciation some people get hung up with amounts to ignorant superstitions.
The hate against freemasons is just just as contemptible too. What reason do some idiots have to besmirch them? Nothing but plain prejudice and stupidity. Let's get real and stop it with all this nonsense.
all throughout history in greek, hebrew, and latin languages - there was no j sound!
no jay sound.. .
why did christians start using a non-hebrew name for the son of god?
Right on waton!
This silliness about insisting English speakers pronounce names in Hebrew not English, is for the birds. Jesus sounds like Hay-soos in Spanish and there is nothing wrong with that. Because they speak Spanish. It is just so pointless to keep beating the dead horse, or dead Spanish monk in this case. In the Spanish of Martini's time the name was pronounced closer to the Hebrew consonants, languages change over time José, Let's move on, nothing much to see here about the tetragram except the same old tired stories conspiracy mongers love.

That is a lot of opinionated bunkum without any forthright research.
The way most English speakers pronounce Yahweh is just as made up, Hebrews would never leave out the two H sounds, in fact they are clearly pronounced in Arabic to this day.
And what's all this hate toward freemasons, they helped establish one of the greatest nations in the world to this day, most of the signers of the US Constitution were openly into freemasonry.
Let's give credit where credit is due and stop it with the necine conspiracy theories.
there's a new documentary series on netflix regarding the flds.
fundamentalist latter day saints.
anyone watch it yet?
I watched it, and I too kept thinking how many mind control, power grabbing tactics are parallel with the WTS and the JW religion. Religion is indeed a snare and a racket, and that abuses the most innocent.
Whatta bunch of rubbish fake news that video is, a bunch of pseudo-scientific nonsense. Shameful to share such ignorant rubbish.
