yadda yadda 2 :- " Why did this so-called issue only begin when Adam and Eve appeared? "
It didn't. It only began when the WT appeared.
if there were millions of angels in existence long before adam and eve were created, how come god's sovereignty wasn't challenged in heaven long before the garden of eden?
why did this so-called issue only begin when adam and eve appeared?
how could there not be a single rebellious angel before the appearance of humans?

i've been reading around this subject of late and it seems to make a lot of sense.
i'm wondering if anyone is convinced and/or has seen anything that can substantiate or corroborate the 'facts' set out in these arguments.. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/bloodlines/russell.htm.
i was particularly fascinated to read the following:.
Even if, understandably, people are skeptical about these things there have been, and are, many people in positions of power who were convinced of powerful controlling sources behind the scenes.
President JFK, 1963... "There exists in this country a plot to enslave every man, woman and child. Before I leave this high and noble office, I intend to expose this plot." (7 days before his assasination).
NY Mayor John Francis Hylan, 1922.. "The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government, which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over our cities, states and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self-created screen. It seizes in its long and powerful tentacles our executive officers, our legislative bodies, our schools, our courts, our newspapers, and EVERY agency created for the public protection."
General Douglas McArthur, 1952 "Talk of imminent threat to our national security through the application of external force is pure nonsense. Our threat is from the insidious forces working from within which have already so drastically altered the character of our free institutions — those institutions we proudly called the American way of life."
Supreme Court Justice Felix Frakfurter, 1952.. ""The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes."
President Woodrow Wilson, 1913... "Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the Field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."
Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, 1844.. " "The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes." 1876.. "The governments of the present day have to deal not merely with other governments, with emperors, kings and ministers, but also with the secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at the last moment upset all the governments' plans."
Prime Minister Winston Churchill, 1920...""From the days of Sparticus, Weishophf, Karl Marx, Trotski, Belacoon, Rosa Luxenburg, and Ema Goldman, this world conspiracy has been steadily growing. This conspiracy played a definite recognizable role in the tragedy of the French revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the 19th Century. And now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their head and have become the undisputed masters of that enormous empire."
President Franklin D Roosevelt,1933.."The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson." "In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happened, you can bet it was planned that way."
Quotes David Rockerfeller.. "Some even believe we are a part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty and I am proud of it." "All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order." "People yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hands."
German Chancellor Adolf Hitler in Mein Kampf..."In the size of the lie there is always contained a certain factor of credibility, since the great masses of the people...will more easily fall victim to a great lie than to a small one."
Anyone wanting to put their head in the sand and not believe that there is a conspiracy for 'New World Order', only has to google it and see what comes up. Things said by people in the know and not just people who want to stir up controversy. HG Wells wrote a book about it. It's not far from the truth.

I think one's gut instincts tell you when something isn't right. Just as we 'knew' something wasn't right with the WT even when we had no proof. Even when we believed it was all true. Something sits uncomfortably. Who knows what is right and what is make believe. But I still trust my own instincts.
yesterday was my oldest son's 21st birthday.
as many of you know, i've been disfellowshipped for over 3 years now.
in the spring of this year i did write to the local boe and request my disfellowshipping be rescinded.
I sent you a pm earlier 00DAD.. hope you find it
my wife, the hungarian goddess, and i just returned from a wonderful one week vacation in yosemite!
i've been many times as a child and young adult, but haven't been for 17 years or so.
it was the hungarian's first time.
Really love your photos 00DAD... What an awesome place! I'd love to visit it one one day!
Sent you a pm btw..
so... i am coming to the conclusion that pretty much all of the doctrinal stuff that i have believed for 25/30 years is built on a house of cards and it's about to come crashing down.
question is what do i replace it with?.
my intellectual head says that that whole thing is junk and there is almost certainly no god at all.
I couldn't tell you what to replace it with as everyone is an individual and responds to it differently. Some find freedom in believing there is no God at all while others cast off the organisational doctrines and find Christ. Some carry on not knowing what to believe and find their way gradually on a voyage of discovery.
All I can say is whatver path you find yourself on, to enjoy the moment and what life has for you here and now. The biggest thing is to shake off all the shackles of preconceived ideas and start from scratch and you'll find what makes you happy eventually.
Personally I'm on the road to discovering a relationship with Christ and for me it feels wonderful. It is truly nothing like the heavy load the WTS piles on us!
You may discover a completely different road and wish you all the best on it as you discover new things!
if i write a book(scratch) about my life as a deaf jw since birth and ex jw, i would like to criticize few dubbies but i would not name them at all.
would i be free from libel lawsuit if i do not name them?
there are many details that i have never told you.
BTS.. that's really funny!! LOL

mp.. I've watched loads of youtube videos about CT Russell, masonry and the WT. Very interesting stuff. Shocked me when I first learned about it but everything fits. Bit too far for me to travel to see the grave for myself though (like 1,000s of miles! LOL).
Even if there's no truth to the illuminati side of things there certainly is plenty of evidence to show a link with Freemasons.
i really think it is a misconception to say leaving the jw's will destroy you and/or your family.. .
many people here stay as jw's despite posting very opposing views and beliefs.
i understand the difficulty of family reprisal.
I'm not prepared to break a 30+ year marriage, I'm not prepared to break my elderly mother's heart. I'm not prepared to lose my children and grandchild. Yes, it's hard to sit there and listen to, to go out occasionally and knock on empty doors (which is all I do these days) but I can bear it. What I couldn't bear is losing my beloved family. It would kill me. If you can't 'condone it' then that's your problem, not mine. It's my life and I live it as I choose just as everyone has the free will to do.

I've just been reading Springmeier's book 'Be Wise as Serpents' and there's some eye opening stuff in there. Personally I think a lot of it is a bit sensationalist but I'm sure there is some truth in it. I'm sure Russell was a Mason. Even as a child I always felt very uncomfortable with all the masonic imagery associated with the old books/watchtowers. Something felt very 'wrong' about it and I still feel that way about the WT logo. The word 'society' makes me cringe.
I don't believe Rutherford was a mason and I think he 'spoiled' their plans and was a bit of a loose canon, although I'm sure he was influenced in some way by outside forces. As for the WT scheme of things, I get the nasty feeling that the GB, the guys in Brooklyn, are merely puppets of those outside forces. Something is controlling the WTS and the WTS is controlling the R&F. Having said that, at only 7 million adherents the WTS is very small fry, it makes you wonder why anyone in a position of power would bother with it? It is anti government and anti religion, yes, but it doesn't really have the power to change nations.
