  I have the first volumes of The Watchtower from the 1800's to the 1900's.

  
  

  I will highlight Vol. 2 January 15, 1892 to help the reader understand the truth regarding Russell and his supposed appointment as, what the Watchtower this year referred to, "he certainly was THAT MINISTER" ...making vague reference to his being called "The Laodicean Minister" (found on his tombstone)

  
  

  Photos of the actual Watchtower below.

  
  

  What qualities do we see in CTR and what divinity do we see in his "appointment"?

  
  

  We find CTR discussing his, and his merry band's, activity. He says they were...

  
  

  "visiting Europe during the past summer”.

  
  

  What did CTR find over there?

  
  

  Seems that what CTR and the merry men saw gave them a stark change of heart!

  
  

  He begins,

  
  

  “In Germany every man is a soldier; and what wonderful soldiers they seem to be:… military methods extending into every department of life, business, etc. And, by the way, we experienced quite a change of view with reference to this matter of German military influence. We had heretofore considered as an almost unmixed evil the taking of hundreds of thousands of men from the tilling of the soil to spend four years each in the prime of life in military service; but now we see another side to the question.”

  
  

  Wow, the CTR merry men had a big shift in thinking! When once they thought the German military was “unmixed evil”, CTR now writes,

  
  

  “… it has been the greatest and most rapid educator of the men of that nation, and thus, under divine providence, an instrumentality for awakening the world and preparing for the great change of dispensation about to be inaugurated.”

  
  

  Imagine, the German army was “divine providence” and was part of the “dispensation” !

  
  

  But alas, CTR does not stop there. He goes on,

  
  

  “It has taken sleepy, thoughtless boys from the farm and has waked them up and educated them, often to far more practical benefit than four years of a college course would have done. As a result, one seldom meets a stupid German.”

  
  

  WOW! No stupid Germans. Just like the present day, Watchtower “divine education”, the German military also was “divine” and better than College!

  
  

  Oh how CTR loved the German Military. He said about the German government,

  “ ..the present government and emperor are very popular.”

  
  

  Well, why not, one might ask, since after all…

  
  

  “The last ten years have witnessed for the masses a great social and financial elevation; laws have been enacted for the protection, and gradually for the betterment, of the poorer classes;”

  
  

  Obviously, Jesus, when he came to his spiritual temple just a few years later, would see such a keen appreciation of CTR for something as wonderful as the “divine” German military. Surely CTR wold be appointed as “the faithful slave”!

  
  

  But wait… CTR mentions,

  
  

  “German military preparation is so well known…. Germany is today, humanly speaking, the arbiter of the world’s peace.”

  
  

  Surely God saw how great the German military was?

  
  

  But did God not see that the German military was a brutal regime, bent on committing acts of genocide?

  What kind of gawd appoints a man who advocated for mass murderers?

  I think the WT numbers are generally fraudulent. When you take into consideration the number of lies they’ve told over the years, it’s not a stretch to think that they make up the numbers.

  Easier now that the yearbooks are no more.

  And the few new dubs they dunk are in desperately poor places where the addition of dubs so does not add to the bottom line at the Bank of Watchtower.

  Mid-Week Circuis Serpent's "Talk"

  by FedUpJW in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i suffered through another one of these idiotic "encouraging" talks by tony vives.. he prattled on about loyalty, and pretty well concentrated on three areas.

  loyalty to ones marriage mate, which is no problem.

  if one is married they really do owe loyalty to their husband or wife.. second, he hammered on "loyalty" by having nothing to do with a df'd family member, even a child!

  Financial bubbles....

  Absolutely. Does that spell Armageddon..??? NO! Not Watchtower style anyway.

  The USD is supported by the fraud of the FED, like Bernie Madoff on steroids.

  The CIA is also employed, to destroy the currencies of other nations, creating a vacuum that is then filled with the USD in order to create a false demand.

  It all comes apart in the end. The only question is, what will fill THAT vacuum when the USD finally falls apart.

  March 2018 Study Watchtower

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the first study article is about getting bible studies and children baptized.

  there is much more emphasis placed on parents to get their own children baptized rather than focusing on bible students.

  they try to impress on others the need for urgency.

  Was it the April or May broadcast where tight pants Tony or Morris the Dufus, talked about the prior counsel, from years back, from the Slave LOL, where he said they went “well beyond the intent of the Scriptures “

  There are no Scriptures used to establish their main point, that kiddies can understand and hence should get dunked...

  More “beyond the Scriptures “...

  Pro-Blood Transfusion Directives for the Ex-JW

  2. beliefs

  hey everyone, i have a question... all of my family members are jehovah's witnesses, save my son and me.

  if something were to happen to me and i lost consciousness, my parents would be the best of kin called on to make medical decisions.

  how do i ensure that if a transfusion is needed, hospital/doctors are clear that i do indeed want a transfusion and that my parents cannot override that decision?

  Put your precise thought in writing, and make mention of your past with Jehovah’s Witnesses and your current family situation with Jehovah’s Witnesses and then spell out clearly that you do not adhere to what Jehovah Witnesses and Watchtower believe and teach and that you want Hospital to save your life including blood transfusions.

  Go before your lawyer and sign it as part of your Living Will. Make sure his witness is present and also signs it. It is then part of your will.

  Take a copy to your family doctor and have him keep a copy and have it scanned and included in your online medical files.

  just spent 8 hours in a 1 day elders school last weekend.

  clarification given: "moving forward any elder, ms, or pioneer who themselves or someone under their roof enrolls in higher education, may no longer qualify for privileges in the congregation.

  their qualifications will have to be reviewed by their boe.".

  I recall a few years ago hearing the same thing here. There was a two part symposium, the CO did half and the DO the other half. The DO started and said that the following information was direct from the governing boobs.

  Since my kid was in a 4 yr University program, I fully expected that I was about to get a talking to.

  Nothing happened. It was a scare tactic.

  Bottom line is, if a bro is sending little Johnny to U, then that bro is a bro with means.

  So, are they going to dispose of all the bros with dough? I don’t think so.

  This BS is unenforced.

  ... and after all, should Bro Witdadough be spending 60-100 large on U when he could be givin’ dat to da ORG

  Waiting.

  Paul Gilles looks after Watchtower, he doesn’t give one thought to children victims. You can see his focus when you read the private email exchange between him and Stephen Bates back when the UN thing was going full bore.

  He tries to ply Stephen and The Guardian editor into printing Watchtower’s lies, but Stephen was on to him big time.

  Paul really shows his inner Satan in those emails. I think we can continue to expect the same from him in the future.

  I’m still trying to wrap my head around this fella in his “sleepingbag on the beach in Marseillan Plage” building websites...

  Did the Jehovahs offer to charge your laptop battery or bring you a generator? That would have been swell of them. You gotta be careful not to get beach sand in your keyboard. It makes the keys stick.

  I was thinking about doing some website building on the beach myself, can you give me a tip on what kind of connection you find best. I was going to buy a 1000ft piece of fiber but I still need some hardware with that.

  Thanks, and gawd blush.
