can anyone state what year russell & co. first introduced the cross & crown on the cover of the watch tower?.
Thanks P.O.N. & Vanderhoven
Russell apparently first began using the crown & angled cross as an emblem on his magazine in 1891 -
whereas, the founder of the Christian Science religion had been using the cross & angled crown as their emblem for at least the previous 2 years. Was Russell guilty of copyright theft? Tut-tut!

although not stated, is it possible that satan issued a challenge regarding adam & eve, just as he did with job?.
reason i ask: if you made something "perfect", why would you unnecessarily subject it to a trial/test?.

why has the watchtower failed spectacularly to evangelize to the muslims?
considering the recent influx of muslim people in european countries you would think that some attempt from the religion that touts the are preaching the good news of the kingdom in all the inhabited earth would have been made.instead the only meaningful attempt dates back to 1953 ,almost 70 years ago!!!!
book " man's search for god.what do you think?
Jesus' prophecy was fulfilled before 70 CE, so JW's can take it easy.
(Matthew 24:14) ...this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end [of the Jewish system] will come.
(Colossians 1:23) ….that good news that you heard and that was preached in all creation under heaven.
(1 Timothy 3:16) ...was preached about among nations, was believed upon in the world...
.....or ban jw sisters from using mascara??????
"the bible never refers to a servant of god celebrating a birthday.
this is not simply an oversight, for it does record two birthday celebrations by those not serving god.
.....or ban JW sisters from using mascara??????
"The
Bible NEVER refers to a servant of God celebrating a birthday. This
is not simply an oversight, for it does record two birthday
celebrations by those NOT serving God. However, BOTH
of those events are presented in a bad light." (Source
JW.0RG)
(Genesis 40:20) Now the third day was Pharaoh’s birthday...
(Matthew 14:6) But when Herod’s birthday was being celebrated...
The faithful slave “understands” that these two scriptures demonstrate an important Bible teaching, dictating that dissenters must face discipline/disfellowshipping.
As such, the same "understanding" and penalties should be strictly applied by the Governing Body regarding a similar “Bible principle” about which "God's spirit-directed organization" has inexplicably never received "insight":
The Bible NEVER refers to a servant of God wearing eye-makeup. This is not simply an oversight, for it does record two eye-makeup occasions by those NOT serving God. However, BOTH of those events are presented in a bad light.
(2 Kings 9:30) When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it. So she painted her eyes with black paint...(eye shadow) (Ezekiel 23:40) When they were coming, you washed yourself and painted your eyes...
This
Bible "principle" apparently/probably/evidently/clearly
shows that Jehovah's Witness sisters should NEVER wear eye-makeup,
for fear of imitating a pagan practice!
The moral of the story is this - don't let elders know that you wore mascara at your birthday party!
(Job 1:4) "And his sons went and held a banquet at the house of each one on his own day;" (Strong's h3117 - Aramaic - יוֹם (yôm)
(Job 3:1*) "It was after this that Job opened his mouth and began to call down evil upon his day." (Strong's h3117 -Aramaic - יוֹם (yôm)
*(cross-referenced with Jeremiah 20:14 - "Cursed be the day on which I was born! May the day that my mother gave me birth not become blessed!"

Medical, scientific, & statistical facts:
Vaccines prevent infection, transmission & symptoms of a virus. Covid jabs did NONE of these.
Face masks do not & cannot prevent infection or transmission of viruses.
Many people who accepted Covid jabs died - while many didn't.
Many people who declined the Covid jabs, survived - while many didn't.
Common denominator/saviour of all who survived? Personal immune systems - not experimental drugs.
there are actually tons of these experiences.
i wanted to post this one because it involved all the family of born in jws.. post;.
all my freakn dreams came true.
Inconvenient Covid facts:
#1 Covid injections do not prevent infection, transmission, serious symptoms or death from the virus.
#2 Face masks cannot prevent infection, transmission, or death from the virus.
All those who got injected and avoided death, were not saved by an experimental drug - they have an immune system!
For those who ridicule/deny/lie about the scientific & statistical facts, you're only kidding yourselves.
i will risk showing my ignorance but i had some questioning thoughts in my head lately...maybe those more scholarly than me have insight.
jw teach that the anointed who now die go immediately to heaven.
when lazarus had died martha said she knew he would rise on the last day.
Twelve scriptures show that Christ Jesus has been assigned to judge mankind – both dead and alive; John 5:22,28,29, John 12:48; Acts 10:42, Acts 17:31, Romans 14:9, 2 Cor. 5:10, 2 Tim. 4:1, 1 Pet. 4:5, Rev. 11:18 & 20:12.
I don't believe he will punish/destroy anyone for their ignorance or wrong understanding of a Bible teaching/s. So all the JW's who have seriously judged me for no longer believing what they believe, might want to consider Matthew 7:1 & Romans 14:4 & James 4:12, since they are jumping on Christ's judgement seat.

@ Sea Breeze: "With all due respect, that is not your take. You got that from Watchtower."
Are you serious???? When did the WT say no one is going to heaven?; when did they say the 2 resurrections were 1000 years apart?; when did they say Jesus is the first and last human to go to heaven?
With all due respect, which part/s did you imagine are the WT's " take"?
Bible Teach chap. 11 pp. 110-111 par. 12 - "A clever but rebellious student claims that the teacher’s way of solving the problem is wrong. What should the teacher do?...All the other students in the class might lose respect for the teacher, thinking that he is afraid of being proved wrong. But suppose that the teacher allows the rebel to show the class how he would solve the problem."
So why don't they allow JW's to speak about their views in J.C. meetings? Afraid of hearing the truth?
