Why doesn't the WT close the religion?

by Aussie Oz in

i was pondering the other day, why the watchtower corporation doesn't just sell off all the kingdom halls and hang the jws out to dry seeing they make far more $$$ from business than peddling the religion these days.. then it dawned on me... they need to keep that little sideline going for the tax breaks!.

slow learner i guess.. oz .

Djejjnogg - If it were even possible to "close" my religion, to persuade me over to another religion, another opinion, another way of life not based on God's word as I've come to learn since I became one of Jehovah's Witnesses, someone would have to kill me.

So, if it was proved, beyond a doubt that your religion( or as you said, if you were persuaded), like all others, is false, you'd want put to death? If that's not slavery I don't know what is. You seem an intelligent person, you should reconsider that decision.

Rutherfords view of the Holy Spirit

by Christ Alone in

does anyone have scans of these references?

this comment was taken from http://ed5015.tripod.com/jwoccultconnection58.htm.

joseph rutherford, the second president of the wts, believed his spiritual enlightenment came from angels because the holy spirit had ceased functioning since 1918. the angels channeled information into his mind from god residing on the star alcyone.
