  i just discovered a clipping from an old new york times article on the release of the first nwt volume.

  it was tucked inside a nwt volume i purchased on ebay.

  i thought it interesting and made a pdf of it.

  Memorial wt study, re tro view.

  2. bible

  for those still involved in the april 15 event, under the full evening moon.. "do this in memory of me " right, and follow the instructions.

  3) "small number cherish a heavenly hope" but at the last supper, all still had an earthly hope, even jesus spoke in earthly terms about the future.

  4) "spoke to them about 2 covenants, the new covenant and the kingdom covenant" a new one to me, note the missing capitalization for the new covenant, the one for all, for forgiveness of sins, the blood covenant, the wine symbolism, but implied [wrongly ] meaning of the kingdom rule promises.

  to show by comparing the scriptures to the practises,

  The scriptures they hold to are a corruption of the accepted text and their additions in the NWT make it a perversion.

  so many have been manipulated and abused using their spurious dogma.

  The Borg likes to herald “Get out of her, my people” directed at “Christendom” but appropriately it should be addressed to the Borg.

  twisting the occasion into an opportunity to draw allegiance to themselves:

  Really, should anyone care what they do?

  We know they’re wrong, they have subverted the gospel to claim authority that simply is invalid.

  With their invalid authority they have abused the flock that they have gathered.

  Have no part of it - it was all a bad dream

  have received news of the passing of alan fuerbacher today having just turned 70 years of age.

  alan was an earlier and frequent poster on this forum and was a strident critic of wt bible chronology.

  i enjoyed the continuous debate on matters relating to 607 bce and will miss his intellectual contributions and his scholarship even though i disagreed with much of his contributions on this subject.

  Law of Diminishing Returns

  by Rattigan350 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the law of diminishing returns states: the law of diminishing returns is an economic principle stating that as investment in a particular area increases, the rate of profit from that investment, after a certain point, cannot continue to increase if other variables remain at a constant.

  as investment continues past that point, the return diminishes progressively.. from 1900 through the 1980s, the more witnesses that got baptized and pioneered, the more bible studies that could be had and the more additional witnesses that could join and then congregations would get bigger and they would divide and form in other areas.

  but in the 1990s the law of diminishing returns kicked in, particularly in the bigger cities.

  Rattigan350:

  Owyergoin?

  Since my tertiary background was economics, I was drawn to your idea, and think you have a (valid) point.

  For those who open the door to the Dub’s call, there is nothing new in the message.

  Paradise has been offered for a century but we live in a post-christian world now.

  The “you can live in paradise” message ain’t gonna cut it any more.

  Without the necessary increases to compensate for the revolving door of the R&F the number of the committed is likely to “wither and die”.

  Cheers,

  Ozzie 🍷
