just had an interesting (?
) visit.. 1.30pm, i was outside the front of my house on a small housing estate doing man-stuff on the car.
three young guys (maybe 16-18 or so) wearing long-sleeved shirts approached.
That not the usual way door to door works! Most JWs would go inside your home and open a conversation with you. Give you a WT then come back. Return visit. They would come back at odd hours to catch you home. Turn you into a biblestudy.
Your smoking and worldly ways would not bother them! :-)
no, charles taze russell was not a pennsylvania freemason!.
this is the answer i received in a letter: .
"after a search of our records, we determined that the three russell's were not members of our organization.
Newly Enlighted has it right!
Not every higher up member needs to register.
In order to belong to a higher Freemason one must write. The writing does not need to make any sense. Just read some Free Mason books. Perhaps that is why Russell's writings no one understands! Unless you actually think Levithian was the locomotive.
Also, I recall reading Russell's wife danced with other illuminatii women with bust in their hands! I doubt she would have married outside this club. Found out that Illuminatii never had to register with lodges especially after a certain number.
I wonder how many of those GB are Freemasons or Illuminattii.
Charles Tays Russell influenced his nephew in how to make money!
I doubt very much that Charles T Russell's money only came from his publishing company.
Probably from a very wealthy Real Estate owners.
Barbara your father was a Freemason?
I am sure some masons joined to keep jobs.
Oh yeah! I remember how they had special talks at the those Freemason buildings. They told us they rented the space without any connections. I thought they could rent from other places! :-) Maybe they got a good discount.
Anyone connect the dots with the Freemason bible and writing about the pyramids.
i won't be lengthy on this.
i have been in the org for about 20yrs.
now & woke up about 2yrs ago.
Welcme!
the watchtower is brilliant, turning their people in to a "input only" organism while extracting any form of self-expression, creation of human spammers walking up to your door who don't know how to use the bible or relate to people with problems.
it's perfect, next step will be human drones, bill boards and printing of jw.org on your local kingdom hall.
what do we need the watchtower for if all they are doing is sending us to a website!.
Watchtower Free! Great job! :-)
i subscribed to this youtube.com channel a year ago.
this was updated this morning.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4_vsgoawes.

Good he exposed how elders breached confidentiality!
Yes he is emotional! He is very hurt by what the elders did to him. They made a promise and broke it.
Not only! But it is a FACT! Elders, keep people out so the elders errors will not be exposed! For years!
That is extremely stressful to go through! If one does not understand the lies of the WT yet spends years trying to return. As a result it can cause all kinds of emotional problems! PTS!
Good for him to expose more elders garbage plus the coldness of Bethel who was not trained to answers questions.
Bethel elders should be trained on how to help people not make foolish excuses. Bethel knows why people are calling. The majority are probably unhappy phone calls. People should be treated with help not dismissed and told it is the wrong department! That is bull!
The guy is a victim because elders bullied him and he believes WT lies!
we all know the sort of thing..... in many congregations, specific "rules" creep in...introduced by the local elders that become set in stone.. years ago, i heard of a congregation that sat down during the first song of the evening but stood for all others (the co changed that very soon after).
then there were the older accounts of congs that had rules to make the public speakers wear only white shirts.... in one cong now, i heard that brothers can only be used for sound or microphones if they do a minimum of 5 hours per month in the ministry!.
another cong has ruled that all appointed men must pioneer for at least one month each year in order to remain qualified.. .
And never drive a new car or classic cars!
Although your playing kingdom songs,turn your radio down before entering the parking lot!

i hate self-promotion.
but every time i put something out there on the internet, and then promote it, some part of me feels ashamed for drawing attention to myself.
How we learned was by just reading WT books!
Love your site!
Your doing a wonderful job!
love your 1914 end time videos.

Years ago a higher up local elder shunned my brother because his shirt would not stay tucked in. George Burns would gossip about him after the meetingsk. The problem with this area is they are guilty of worshipping elders. The Burns men next generation followed daddy! Too dumb to not get out and growls at anyone that does not match up to theur janitorial status.After all only janitors can make the time for KH godship. :-) They were in their own world! At least they can brag about that high school education.
Elders look around the KH as if they are Almighty God,J. They make rules then watch who dare to walk in and break them! :-)
Cult Within A Cult! Our way versus the others! LOL
the other night, i was told about a question that a friend's bible study had asked them.
the bible study asked: "if jesus is perfect, why does he need the 144,000 to help him rule?
" this friend does not know how to answer this question.
Revelation 20:4 does not say just 144,000 will get the rewards, it has no number. Happy are those who are at the first resurrection because there will be no second death! Now that is good enough to want to be apart of the first resurrection. Maybe that is why other churches have happier people!
What church would only want a few of their members to be a part of the first resurrection where the majority will be at the second resurrection. First resurrection,rewards, has no death.
That really is a messed up doctrine! And there is no bibical foundation to support WT doctrine.
How would anyone know if people were resurrected!
Unless your in a religion that makes up bull: Russell is channeling to the remaining GB meat at due season! Crazy! :-)
Anyhow,as far as I am concerned followers of Jesus are the bride and will be part of the first resurrection.
after nearly seven months of bus rides and asking for rides, i have purchased a car.. for all of you who made helpful suggestions & contributions to my car buying thread, especially zed is dead, thank you so much.. my thread asking for advice on car buying:.
suggestions for car buying23.
i bought a 2009, pontiac g 6. my reasons for choosing a g 6: this car gets great miles per gallon.
The fact that you think getting less than 30mpg is 'great' is scary and a huge problem with the USA
This isn't free way driving. On the Freeway, it can get close to 40 MPG. For a GM sedan, yes, 28.9 around town, stop and go, is fabulous. Some GM sedans get 17 MPG.
I from the US! What kind of car do you drive?
Flyinghigh
Love your new car! Looks wonderful! Happy driving!
I drive Chevy truck! No kids here but need to carry things home for my fixer upper house. Never ending job! Sure do like your pretty car and the green is so pretty.
