  Has this been confirmed yet? Any other pictures apart from the three which could have been photoshopped?

  can you imagine him taking the next broadcast with that goatee? I just can’t imagine it myself it’s too shocking

  Charles Taze Russell & His Secret Mission To S. California That Killed Him

  by West70 in

  the last 5 months of charles taze russell's life was quite hectic, and according to reports in the watch tower magazine, russell's health was declining throughout.

  in september, 1916, russell went on a convention train tour which lasted nearly the entire month.

  this train tour included stops in several southern california locations around the 8th through the 12th.

  It specifically about Russel but yes it’s true that secret societies like the Masons/ skull and bones do indeed have to make human sacrifices on certain dates.

  We know for sure the secret society involvement in the early days and the symbology all over early publications.

  The cross on a 33 degree angle on all the early watchtower publications. 33 is a key number as Jesus was 33 when he was killed. Supposedly anyway

  Even with recent changes it’s a struggle to get people to attend

  the kingdom hall is still empty.

  even with amalgamation of 2 congregations.

  the elders are handling the microphones and there was only one comment from zoom at the watchtower.

  This is such an interesting but over simplified term if it is the truth or not. You could simply ask the question is the Bible the truth, is it Gods word or man’s. If you like me think there is a possibility that it is Gods word then what is the correct interpretation of it? Does anyone have the correct interpretation of it? Certainly not all of it, JWs are wrong about 1914 which is the basis for their most fundamental foundations.

  The problem comes when someone challenges doctrine with another opinion about interpretation of scripture.

  My view is I don’t think JWs are correct about much at all, but I can’t come up with a better interpretation myself or find anyone else on earth who has a better interpretation, I’m just certain JWs are wrong about 1914 foundations to their interpretation.

  I will say though that I love the social club aspect of staying physically in mentally agnostic. Most JWs are trying their best to apply Christian principles and better themselves like with the fruits of the spirit.

  It’s a very good social club to be in to be honest. I love all the changes recently and looking forward to the next ones.

  So what happens next...

  with what is arguably the biggest change to jw life in recent decades (the scrapping of publishers counting hours) what does this lead to?.

  in my mind these are the results;.

  1) a massive decrease in 'preaching hours'.

  The gb has set up the org now that the average dub must be starting to feel less invested - black screens on zoom, ticking a box for reporting hours. Its turning into nothing more than a social club that watches videos while sporting the latest hipster beards.
  

  Yes it is a social club sporting latest beards. There are no sacrifices nothing hard about being physically in. If you don’t want to go to social club meet ups then stay on zoom. If you feel like going to the meet ups then go right ahead, and talk more freely than ever before. Question everything and go back to re -examine everything you were told

  Is The GB Paranoid? And Should They Be?

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the gb seems to have a bunker mentality, that they are special, and that the world is out to get them, so they tend to keep within their tightly controlled, protective environment.

  bottlegate proved that there is some danger outside of the rarified atmosphere of their echo chamber; you never know when a camera might be trained on you, or that someone might recognise you as being something more than plain old "joe citizen".

  further, tm3's new address was quickly found and distributed, and (as i understand it) someone drove to his gated community to tell the security guard that tm3's "ass is grass".

  I’m still in shock, if it’s indeed real. Three pictures could be fake.

  Are there any other pictures? It must have taken weeks to grow that much, how did it not leak out until now with so many PIMOs at bethel?

  A Modest proposal to solve the 1914 problem

  by r51785 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  throughout watchtower history dates have been a problem.

  the usual solution for failed prophetic dates has been to kick the can down the road.

  this needs to be done with 1914. the generation that will never pass away is now 110 years old and therefore is past its useful life span.

  There are so many problems with 1914, not just Millers stolen 77 week nonsense.

  JWs are the only ones who think Michael was Jesus who battled with Satans demons in 1914 and became king in that year after throwing them out of heaven which is JWs explanation of WW1.

  Then they use a convoluted 3.5 year nonsense thing to say Jesus chose his one true religion 3.5 years later which would have been 1917/18 but they round it upto 1919. This was the year that Brothers who had been playing tennis in a luxury low security prison were let out

  It’s absolutely unthinkable that GB members could look like that. This marks such a monumental shift.

  At first I thought it was fake photography now there are more pictures surfaced I’m in shock.

  Imagine he looked like that for the Australian commission?

  Sub COs are all the rage these days, they get credited hours for their pioneering but still have to have jobs and pay for their own housing cars ect. So more free labour for WTower. I can see them pushing all these sub COs more and more as it costs nothing unlike full COs which need a accommodation and cars being paid for.

  Yes the full implications of JWLITE will anger those who have been breaking their backs for decades. Some hardliners made so many sacrifices and were knocking on doors pioneering for 100hrs month until they were exhausted. Then we still got loads of telling off CAN YOU DO EVEN MORE.

  If you wake up at 4am and do Bible study can you wake up at 3am and try to work one day a week less to spend more hours for watchtower
