  re: results of november 8 court hearing.

  yet again, all five cases remain intact and are still in the criminal justice system.

  oh, how the wheels of justice turn ever so slowly.. .

  That crazy FDS and the GB connection...or lack thereof.

  by Aussie Oz in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the whole fds and the gb representing them is a huge jump of impossible logic.... if the wt do not by their own admission, count the annointed nor know how many real ones there are, if they dont consult the remaining ones, the faithful slave how the hell can the gb 'represent' them?.

  i mean, how can i for example tell the world that i represent the people of my town in parliment if not only have they never met me, i have never so much as asked one single towns person anything?

  if i don't even know how many people live in my town?

  C.T. Russell and the Bible Students blessed and used by God?

  by WontLeave in

  there is no question that the first president of this corporation, c. t. russell, was used mightily by jehovah during the period when basic bible truths were being restored among gods true worshipers on earth.

  we have great love for brother charles t. russell, for his works sake, and that we gladly acknowledge that the lord used him and greatly blessed his work - ka p239, jv p155, others (rutherford's speech announcing the adoption of the name jehovah's witnesses).

  at their regular gatherings during the years 1870 to 1875, the religious thinking of these men underwent profound changes.

  Society's use of 2 John 9-11 to justify total shunning totally wrong!

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower society appears to have totally twisted the meaning of the original greek work for "greeting in 2 john 9-11 to justify not even saying a polite "hello" to disfellowshipped or disassociated ones.

  the following from http://www.jwfacts.com/index_files/disfellowship.htm sums it up very nicely:.

  "likewise the term to never say a greeting to him needs to be understood in light of first century practice.

  The Watchtower and the Masons

  by ozziepost in

  2. friends

  the latest edition of the free in christ ministries journal contains a very interesting article entitled the watchtower and masons.. drawing upon material from the book the watchtower & the masons by fritz springmeier, it gives the following parallels between the things that c t russell believed and those taught by the masons:.

  * both believe jehovah is the most important word being the basis of their dogma, and the name of their god.

  * both believe god yielded power to a lesser god.
