Is the book an actual German edition? If so, how the heck did they get it into Germany (1942, remember?). Or is it an English language edition that happens to be owned by someone who posted about it in German?
ETA: And why stroke his ego in that way in the same year that he was on his deathbed?
i noticed awhile ago jw.org was first; now jwn is back being first.
what determines that?.
It's still number 3 on my tablet's google search. JW.ORGy is still number one.
I just realised as I was writing this, that my saved search is "Jehovah's Witnesses online"*, so that may have something to do with it. I tried that on Bing on my PC and got page after page of official WT pages. I had to use "Jehovah's Witnesses discussion". At least this is number one when searching that way.
* Why keep doing it this way? I guess I got used to it 🥴
Actually no-zombie, your scan showed up a bit better than the first one. It really does look somewhat like Rutherford.
I wonder if he posed for that image? 😸

Really? Film and television as media are dying in their own right. Furiosa and The Fall Guy are reputedly not particularly bad films, but bombed at the cinema. Dr Who and The Acolyte are failing dismally to attract audiences, despite those franchises previously having huge fanbases. Simply making a film or a TV episode is not going to draw crowds.
"Build it and they will come" isn't working for mainstream media. Why would it work for the JWs?

"Just gotta have a little patience. They’re new at it."
New at noticing Jesus?😳😱 You got that right!
probably everyone else thought of this long ago, but i, being an "independent thunker" thunk of it just a coupla weeks ago.. we all know that since the year zero (on the fredfranzian calendar) the wtb&ts has defied archaeology and insisted that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce, even though the physical evidence shows that 587 bce is a more likely date.
in fact, the book "the gentile times reconsidered: have jehovah's witnesses been wrong all along about 607 bce?
" by carl olof jonsson and rud persson made this conversation public.. it is a difference of 20 years.
"starting your own nutty sect? you need to work on the head canon a bit more though methinks."
Yes. If you reject the superstructure, you should also reject its foundations.
what are your memories of hall cleaning?.
i actually enjoyed it on the whole, my dad as the elder always tried to keep it to under one hour but in my later years in a hard-line congregation it was a chore.
the po's wife had a printed list and we had to complete it all before left (or got disapproving looks if we left after an hour).. as well as vacuuming the whole building the lost said you had to dismantle the vacuum and clean and polish all the internal elements.
Praotes1914, perhaps you should tell us your story in a separate post. Hit the New Topic tab at the top of the page. Don't try posting more than two new topics a day. They would be queued and not appear until the next day.
the trinity doctrine says god is three persons in one being.. yet the bible says god is one.. gal 3.20 a mediator, however, implies more than one party; but god is one.
niv.
gal 3.20 now a mediator is not for just one person, but god is one.
"My mentor Joe Riley coined the phase the Twinity. I think that pretty much sums up my theology"
"Binitarian" is a term that exists within the broad spectrum of mainstream Christianity.

"And it is good that they are talking about Jesus, so don't knock it."
While it is good to see that the WT seems to have discovered Jesus, I bet the question of most on here would be something like: "What's the ulterior motive?"
One possibility I see is that any emphasis on Jesus will soon be directed to the GB, Jesus' brothers*, the present and future kings of the JWs.
* Excuse me, while I throw up! 🤢🤮

This has "The Chosen" vibes about it.
From Wikipedia:
"The Chosen is an American historical drama television series created, directed and co-written by American filmmaker Dallas Jenkins.[1] It is the first multiseason series about the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth.[2] Primarily set in Judaea and Galilee in the 1st century, the series centers on Jesus and the different people who met and followed or otherwise interacted with him."
Someone at WT HQ saw The Chosen and decided that the WT, being an up and coming video studio, should get a piece of that action, apparently. 🙄 The only reason I can see for a WT version might be to shoehorn quotes* from the NWT (most akkurate evaaaah! 🙄) into a biblical saga.
*And the language and feel of the NWT
