It took close to 300 years to get rid of the last "Shaker" a radical branch of the Quakers, US History 101, teacher loved to talk about "Shakers" and was sad the last one died in the late 1800s or turn of the Century of 1900s.

Jehovah's True Witnesses In Romania, don't follow anything after 1960 something, Google "Jehovah's True Witnesses Romania" I read about groups in Siberia who broke away too, I will try to find them. Romanians are just as tough or rougher than Russians, I have delt with Hungarians and Romanians on business venture, Albanians scare the hell out of me, last time I vist Monteneggro and the Dalmatian Coast!

Finch I read one of Marvin Shilmers letters from some lawyer, in his letter to the Society, he noted "He did not find the congregation a warm and loving place, he slaved thirty of his best years for the Organization. One example of the madness was the rumor he had to follow up on some older sister, who had not attended meetings for seven-eight years and a rumor of lewd conduct was brought against this female caregiving worker.
She said "I have not attended meetings in (Seven or Eight Years) almost a decade, you never came looking for me, left me out to hang, but you now show up and are trying to judge me wicked? She was judged by some busy body woman or man of adultry, without proof, how is that for Love? How is that for being a Fine Shepperd who watches his sheep run off cliffs, while drinking their beers and vodka, toasting each other for a job well done?

I was happy to see this part of the Organization is the fastest growing segment of Witnesses. There is "A Great Rivival Of The Annointed" and we had more growth in Annointed, than average dubs as a percentage! How Cool Is That?
Hubris is what is befalling arrogance, remember the greek man with wings made of wax, he was warned and warned but insisted he knew better than the gods, he flew to the Sun, only to have his wings melt, falling to the earth to his death!
Hubris is believeing you are the only true christians in the whole world, Jehovah told Isaiah (Isaiah was sure he was the only true worshiper left) "I have six thousand who have not bent their knee to Baal." Jehovah spoke with Isaiah, how did he communicate this with Frantz?
@smiddy, they do know who is taking part, it's on the "Publisher's Card", Marvin Shimmer has the card on his blog, I have seen the cards on many occasions. W.T.S does know who is partaking of the emblems but does not want us thinking those annoited have special insights the way the annointed on the Government Body do.
Jesus Christ has changed his mind, according to early teachings "Russell, Rutherford, Knorr" were the composite Slave. Strange doctrine indeed, I think Jesus Christ is angry and will punish haughty men who are not helping other annointed brothers out!

1975 coverup! Compare the '68 and '81 Truth book scans
by JimmyPage inthe wt society pointed to 1975 as the date for the end of the world.
when the date came and went they changed their publications to remove themselves from the fiasco.
need proof?

Even their sources for predicting "Total chaos and Famine" for 1975, failed badly. We had the "Oil Embargo, Gas Rationing" but this was not total chaos. The Zodiak Killer, had San Fransisco scarred but in 1975 I walked the city streets as a teenager with peace. Try walking Long Beach now at night, maybe they were off by 37 years for Long Beach!
Thank you for this find, it disingenuine to hide this information, and the "Slave" always blames "their eager R/F memebers for drawing wrong conclusions" who are the Trolls putting these ideas infront of the Rank and File?? In 1968 we had visit by the Circuit Overseer (Slave Rep) who told our Kingdom Hall, "If you don't believe 1975 is the date, you don't belong in the Truth!" Our friends in Long Beach, Harbor City, San Pedro sold some of their homes to preach, others bought homes and motor homes and nice cars, thinking "we will not have to pay all this back!" Not Cool!

Need info on Revised JW book that was 'recalled' ... was it ....
by talesin inthe truth that leads to eternal life?
i am trying to raise some money for school, and my father has given me consent to sell his collection on e-bay, which dates back to the rutherford days.
my sibling and its progeny have no interest in retaining the library, so he would rather sell the books, than see the collection eventually go in the trash.. .

"Jehovah Witness Lights Himself On Fire In Russia!"
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inhttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/mad-mad-world/self-proclaimed-god-sets-himself-ablaze-in-russia/articleshow/12841331.cms.
we sure do attack the crazy ones, dont we?
i studied russian history fifteen years ago, my mind is blank right now, there was a group of radical russian cult members during "peter the great" time, who threw themselves into fire, burning themself and their children.

Hi Chariklo, India can turn on Christians pretty easily, Hinduism still contains the caste system, "honor killings" exist, so we have to take their assesment of JWs with a grain of salt. JWs don't "honor kill" or attack with weapons Mormons, Fundamentals or other types of Christians.

questions that defy JW logic No bible needed just a working brain
by thecrushed ineven before awakening from the mind control my mind would plague me with doctrine defying logic.
i'd like to share some of my self explanatory questions here.
every time i'd ask jw's these questions they would give me bs answers like we will have to wait on jehovah to tell us in the new system or some other lamo thinking stopper.

In one ancient Sino-Tibetan language, dating back three to four thousand years ago, we have the word
http://www.bibleprobe.com/chinese.htm The Traditional Character "Chua(3)n", this was brought to my attention by one of my friends in Hong Kong, he is not a JW, sixth generation from exposure of early British Missionaries throughout Asia. Central and South Americans had tales of some type of "Global Flood", the art teacher (now dead) had thought Noah built a raft, when the rivers over-flowed into the valley.
We can ask how did Jehovah create the "Wood Frog", who our friends in Canada know to exist. This little frog is able to freeze to death in the Winter, only to come back to life once the snow thaws, how cool is that? Reading about those little "wood frogs" whose body has learned to dump all the water from the blood, while increasing glucose (a anti-freeze) to stay in frozen statis, is something only man has dreams of doing!
@thecrushed, check out this link on "Thor Heyerdahl" he wrote "Kon Tikki" and believed in ancient sea travelers long before we thought possible.

There are theories we experienced a mini-ice age which caused radical changes less than two thousand years ago in Europe, and the ability of our skin color to change over centurys by moving away from "Full Sun Countries" to lower Sun "Norway, England, Sweden". Why do African Americans suffer from diseases their ancient family don't? Just a few coins, you can tell I believe God created everything.
