in the may 1922 edition of the wt, page 133, rutherford is writing defending the work of russell and the 1914 doctrine, he quotes what some have said to prove russell was wrong :.
" "zedekiah was taken captive and jerusalem fell in the year 587 b. c.; thus showing that the full end of the gentile times and the fall of gentile governments is indicated to take place in 1934".. he goes on, in his own inimitable style, to disprove the above, but note, he is aware of the 587bce date for jerusalem's destruction.. if you are interested, you can read the whole mag here*, just click on pdf to read.. * https://ia700401.us.archive.org/19/items/1922watchtowerarticlesonchronology/1922_watchtower_articles_on_chronology.pdf.
.
Please read the whole article. You just quoted a "remark" that opponent could raise..
The interesting thing is that Rutherfor here argues for 1914 for the end of the gentile times, not for the return of Christ!
Compare this to the old teachings about 1799 and 1874.
my middle brother called me a couple of hours ago.
our youngest brother, josh, who was 38, was found by his friends in his apartment.
he hung himself.
I am so sorry to hear, Snakes.
We just have to carry on.....sometimes I also have such distructive thaughts.............my thoughts for you Snakes.
after 1975, the vast majority remained as though nothing has happened.
but some left the organization.
however, there arose a third category who did not leave the organization, but brought a new view into their heart: jws are right in their core cause (gods kingdom as the solution to mankinds problems) but may or may not be right in their supplementary teachings, hence are not bothered about changes happening in this unimportant area..
So the core teachings are true and right......but not the other teachings....hmm
So, tell us, why would God use his organisation in that way? Do you think God likes destuctive cults?
And, why should God scare people away from his truth by using an american cult? Tht's not logical.
By the way....you might be a liberal adventist without knowing it!
i went through the original footage to get a good look at the watch.. from these pictures we can probably say that it is a apple watch and that it has a golden color.
the color on the pin is black, and the band is white, grey, silvery or beige.. .
the pin is in the exact place for it to be a apple watch.. only apple watch edition have the gold color.
Maybe the GB get a lot of gifts from rich JWs. But why showing off such thing as expensive watches in videos/TV? And at the commission hearing...
Maybe it will become the Golden Apple Watchtower?! :P
so lately i've felt so frustrated and overwhelmed that i had to tell someone how i felt.
my parents were gone so i decided to talk to my sister.
we've always been close so i thought i could trust her because we have talked about it before.
my jw spies tell me that the kingdom halls are empty compared to how they used to be, since i left 5 years ago.
not saying they're empty because of me though.. is that what you are hearing?.
Indeed it is!
This is almost surreal...this is a former KH in Sweden just some hours drive away
my jw spies tell me that the kingdom halls are empty compared to how they used to be, since i left 5 years ago.
not saying they're empty because of me though.. is that what you are hearing?.
Maybe a meeting for "field" service??
This mosque (ex kingdom hell) , or at least some of it members, has a bad reputation for recruiting IS-soldiers to Syria among muslim immigrants....maybe a bit more brutal than the JW field service?
my jw spies tell me that the kingdom halls are empty compared to how they used to be, since i left 5 years ago.

You probably know that the society has sold quite a lot of buildings/kindom halls in Sweden...so yes, it would probably be sold.
The big KH in Orebro is now an islamic center(mosque) 
and The big one in Göteborg/Angered is now an islamic school (if I rememer it right).
And the Bethel in Arboga is now sold aswell as the assembly hall in Stragnas.
so you have had some kind of supernatural revelation, a personal message from god and some miraculous sign that you have been personally chosen by the almighty, what would you do?.
would you be the same as every other wt'ite, dragging yourself to the meetings, getting your 10 hours in each month, maybe pioneering?.
listen!
a summary for you guys of the rather lengthy discussion about peoples ability to leave the organisation:.
