  Acts 11:26 "and, after he found him, he brought him to Antioch. It thus came about that for a whole year they gathered together with them in the congregation and taught quite a crowd, and it was first in Antioch that the disciples were by divine providence called Christians.

  in 1931 Bro Jo "Da Judge" Rutherford adopted the name "Jehovah's Witnesses". Which was a change from "Bible Students".

  A.H Macmillan stated in his book Faith On The March that he had no doubt that Bro Rutherford got this change from God.

  Hmm Really???

  I can accept that IF God had also told Da Judge to build a big house in San Diego called Beth Sarim in 1929 to accomodate the Ancient Worthies mentioned at Hebrews 11,( Abraham, David, Isaac, Jacob, Samson, Moses, Gideon, Barak, Jephthae, Samuel) after their earthly ressurection , so that they had somewere to live while being in charge of Gods Kingdom on Earth. And while they are at it, a couple of chaufered 16cyl Cadillacs to help them get around.

  And then sell it in 1947.... er ok

  How about they build another down the road called Beth Shan in 1939 10yrs after Beth Sarim. take a look its HUGE:

  Now why would ressurected perfect humans administrating Gods Kingdom on Earth have any need for a bomb shelter?

  Or how about I dont believe a thing that came out of the mans mouth. Therefore not one word he spoke was Jehovah's.

  Deuteronomy 18:20-22: “‘However, the prophet who presumes to speak in my name a word that I have not commanded him to speak or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die. And in case you should say in your heart: “How shall we know the word that Jehovah has not spoken?” when the prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah and the word does not occur or come true, that is the word that Jehovah did not speak. With presumptuousness the prophet spoke it. You must not get frightened at him.’

  It's all a big joke and they got 4 generations of my family.

  i remember hearing from a former elder of a situation he found himself in while conducting the old weekly bible study.

  that morning only one male was present during the morning study, however that brother forgot his tie.

  under instruction from the slave, any brother not properly dressed for a meeting is not to have any congregation priviledges (hold mics, talk, attendent, magazines, reading).

  a suit is not necessary for a wt reader, but probably is for a wt conductor.

  it all depends on the congregation pharisees and their local laws and customs.

  also depends alot on individual elders, and their view of the weightier matters of those said laws. ie, a brother forgets his tie. big deal! "would you take us onto the next paragraph brother"

  or weather he could handle the "tutt tutt" from the saducee sisters
