  Why Aren`t Active JW`s concerned about WT/JW`s /GB`s ,Revisions of their Own Early History Of C.T.Russell ?

  by smiddy3 in

  2. beliefs

  i was just thinking about a couple of jw`s who came to my door a few weeks ago and they had no idea who charles taze russell was one woman was in her 40`s and the other was in her late 20`s if i`m any judge of female ages.. and neither of them had any idea of the religions early history or what they taught and what they believed in back then.. and one of the main reasons for that i believe is because the wt?jw religion continually revise their past history according to whatever the current beliefs are held.. if you compare what was believed and taught back in the 1880`s with what is believed and taught today you would find no comparison.. it has completely changed ,sometimes in a subtle way,but no the less changed.. the excuse of "the light is getting brighter and brighter as the day draws near " doesn`t cut it when you consider they stick to the i.b.s.a.

  not the jehovah`s witnesses , were chosen as approved by jesus christ as the "faithful and discreet slave class" in 1919 for what they believed and taught back then as the i.b.s.a.

  and not the jehovah`s witnesses.. and now the jehovah`s witnesses today do not believe what the international bible students association taught and believed back then in 1919... so how could jehovah`s witnesses today be approved by jehovah / christ jesus as the faithful and discreet slave class when they reject what was approved in 1919 ?

  So the light gets brighter indicates they have been living in darkness and now they are as a deer in the headlights. Neither are good.

  I heard and I stress heard, that the gb were discussing whether to make BT a 'conscience' issue when the planes flew into the buildings on that fateful day and they said it was a sign (!) from Jehovah that a conscience issue was not on.

  District convention to be held in assembly hall instead of stadium

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  last night they announced that this summers district convention will be held at an assembly hall.. this is the first time i've seen this happen.

  there are a couple of congregations in the same hall here and they aren't going to the same ones.

  they are having multiple dates.. the hall they are going to use can only hold 1500 people max.. just wondering if maybe they just couldnt get anything bigger this year or if the falling numbers are playing a part in this decision.

  First off a big thankyou for putting this together.

  A very disturbing and most useful collection of information. This is a doc that all here will print and pass on to those whose professional life involves kids.

  Thoughts on Sundays wt about persecution

  so let me get this straight.

  even though law enforcement has their hands full with illegal drugs and guns on the street, child traffickers, dangerous gangs and such.

  they are going to now pool all their resources to confiscate bibles and religious literature?!

  Unless paper is water proofed once buried it will quickly rot.

  I wonder what message the magazines from 1956 would have if dug up today, some very very old light?

  Yes, you are quite correct the program was only a snapshot but must have been an 'eye-opener' for many who watched it.

  re clergy privilege etc.

  The wt here in Australia tried to pull that one on at the CARC and got told by the justice they cant have it both ways . I hope the lawyers in Montana for the victims have been made aware of this.
