2. bible
i have researched pastor russell and miracle wheat , has any one found out some interesting information?

it seems he sold the wheat at a premium and promised 5 x yield ?

he denies selling - as he did not know , but he is a snake oil salesman.

I enjoyed several posts that Ilovettatt2 wrote about it a few years ago. This is just one of them.

Tattoos?
by Wild_Thing in
1. jw
2. friends
if seems to be quite fashionable nowadays for ex-jws to get a tattoo or a series of tattoos to symbolize either their time spent in the watchtower or their escape, and i kind of don't get it.

i don't understand why someone would want a constant reminder on their body of such a horrible period in their life.

on another forum, one woman shared that she was getting 25 bees tattooed all over her body to represent the 25 years she spent in the org.

Wild_Thing,
that second picture of the guy's tattood arm reminded me more of this tarot cart than of a watchtower.

Could depict both of course, but just saying...

Medical Explination Found For "Demonic Posession"
by pale.emperor in
1. watchtower
2. medical
in 2007, doctors discovered an illness that is suspected of being an underlying cause of the historical accounts of demonic possession: anti-nmda receptor encephalitis.. it's caused by an attack on the immune system.

symptoms include:.

agitation, paranoia, psychosis, and violent behaviors, seizures and bizarre movements, mostly of the lips and mouth, but also including pedaling motions with the legs or hand movements resembling playing a piano.

Yep, no room for superstition.
It would be great if all witnesses would read and considered this info. Their obsession with demons is absurd!

Redpilltwice asked:
Has anyone tried this one on active witnesses? Would be fun to hear some experiences.
I have brought the Russell quote up to JWs several times.
They gave me a deer in the headlights look and ignored it.
I guess the WT got "new light" about what "new light" is.
Thanks for sharing your experiences Ding, I appreciate it.
That Russell quote is priceless. It is more in line with the bible than all the type/anti-type and overlapping generation doctrines that clarify......... absolutely nothing.

TD, thanks for the additional info. True, this is not their most damaging flip-flop doctrine but there are so many that we have enough proof in order to identify the false prophet.

The book burning has started
by pale.emperor in
1. jw
2. experiences
don't know if this is a global thing but i've just been told by a pimo member of my old congregation that a min servant has been given the task of destroying all old books/literature in the kh library prior to 1992.. could be the elders (or even one of them) on a mission to stamp out dissent as my ex-wife used the same reasoning to her elder dad that i used in my jc: rutherfords books containing failed predictions.. anyone else heared anything?.

the ms who's been given the task is a company man.

no hope of him keeping them or selling them on ebay.. they have some russell books in that library too.

Delusion and lack of critical thinking is strong here
Bobby, with all respect, but that's not very kind of you. Are the 1968 and 1969 Awake articles (just to name a few) also available at the WT Library?
If not, why?
1975 anyone?

Thanks Fall Guy.
Russell was wrong about certain dates, such as 1914 and 1915, but even he would turn in his grave when faced with all these flip-flop doctrines. At least he believed and wrote:
"A new view of truth never can contradict a former truth. 'New Light' never extinguishes older 'light,' but adds to it. ...So is it with the light of truth; the true increase is by adding to, not by substituting one for another." Zion's Watch Tower, February 1881
Has anyone tried this one on active witnesses? Would be fun to hear some experiences.
