his 1914 predictions failed...but did he succumb to depression as a result?.
"Revived the Arian heresy after it had been resolved for 1500 years,"
To be fair, Arius' version of anti-trinitarianism was different from the WT version, even though they make him out to be some sort of hero of the faith. In Arius' version, the Holy Spirit, while not being God, was still a person, not a "force".
The "holy spirit as a force" idea was stolen from John Thomas, founder of the Christadelphians.
.....with the name "jehovah.
in all my years, i've never seen such overkill in any jw publication.
is the org worried about something?.
A certain Monty Python scene comes to mind...

Let's hope that the JWs who begin tithing remember that the old testament tithe was never in money, but was in crops and livestock! I want to see how the WT handles the wheat and cattle being left on Kingdom Hall doorsteps.
old habits die hard...and quite often in my comments i will refer to the borg as the 'truth'.
does anyone know of any other churches that refer to their own particular church or religion as the 'truth'??
also, does anyone know how it originated...all my life i have used the term...comments like 'how long have u been in the truth?
Even Fisherman sounds like he has doubts, that the JW religion is basically right, but that its leadership is somewhat letting it down. I haven't seen scholar around on recent threads.
i need the talk outline connected to the handbill pictured here:.

It sounds like yet another class, Blondie. But from the discussion above and what you've said, the term must have died out soon after the 1962 article.
Is it another buzzword that died out because it sounds odd in ordinary conversation? It seems like there's a lot of those. "Worldling" is the one that comes immediately to my mind.
just watched november broadcast very different order to the leaked agm .
be good if someone did a deep dive on the difference and why the changes?
i didn’t time the items but it should be easy to see if edited?.
RonW "I felt VERY unhappy about it so forged the amount I proposed to contribute"
What do you mean that you forged the amount? That you just wrote a figure that you didn't intend to donate?
I'm sorry if my post came across as though I was trying to blame the victims. I'm as horrified by their suffering as anyone else.
What is happening to the perpetrator? When is his trial?

I just found this old thread. If no-one said it, I think that the Christadelphians refer to their beliefs as "the Truth".
But the real reason I brought this BTTT is to ask about JW apologists like yadirf. What happened to them? Are there no JWs convinced enough of their rightness that they would come to this board to let the apostates have it?
There are a few here who still have some sympathy for some WT doctrine, but think that the society or the GB is corrupt; they're not of the same ilk as yadirf and people like him from the early years of this discussion board. Has the enthusiasm for WT apologetics dried up?

I thought as much; I can't see any government providing such a large and exploitable loophole! 😱
Were these "conditional donations" a loan for a purpose, when they've got some project on?

Blondie: "...conditional donation arrangement (donor can ask for it back)...It was timed for November, so jws would be encouraged to give in time for claiming for tax purposes that year".
Was this an outright tax rort? That a sum could be donated and a tax deduction claimed, and then the WT paid it back as though it were a loan?
