Was this Russells idea or Rutherfords? Russell died in 1916 Oct 31 I believe

The SKE? He is still in the business? Doesn't look too sad to me. Will he be restored to being a GB somebody? He is giving a talk by the looks of it.

Thoughts on annual meeting “new light”
by FFGhost inso, i finally saw the annual meeting video part 2.. this is the one with the “new light” on who might survive armageddon, vs. those who do not.. in summary, for those of you fortunate enough not to have to sit through it, it’s something like this:.
old light: once the “great tribulation” starts, that’s it for non-jws.
the “door of the ark” is closed.

I always said they we like a brainwashing machine, repeat, repeat, repeat until its fact. They are great in psych training, almost like an intelligence bureau, they know all the switches to put into play, obeying the biggest one.
Blondie- I always thought the same as you, no way that all in the world would have a witness 2/3 of the population are not christian, as such. The only way would be for a personal intervention by Jehovah himself. The real reason behind that propaganda was to get the pubs out in the field, a scare tactic that kept them in line thinking they had to do it. Now its - ho hum, Jehovah will take care of it.

the mother of christ and of his joint heirs.

It's strange how this came to my attention, like a bolt out of the blue at an assembly talk... he used word mother and my ears perked up and then in connection with 144,00 and so on... I came home that day and tried to find the connection and worked on it, then forgot about it and as I said, 2020 I came across it again and after I followed it through, I couldn't believe the stupidity of it all.

The Meaning of ETC
by titch infolks: i don't mean to be a "forum grammar policeman", but there is something that i've noticed a few times.
i've noticed that a few---not all---but some, members of the forum who use the abbreviation "ect" when they want to use the abbreviation of "etc.
" for your education today, the term "etc" is the abbreviation for the latin term "et cetera.

Hotels for convention
by ElderBerry ina department in bethel wants to try to make money from regional conventions by asking local hotels if they will give a special rate and a coupon code to give to jws.. .
they should just keep it simple and not be greedy for dishonest gain.. .
this year some convention sites the hotels said no thank you i think the jws are going to book with us anyway.

We ignored them years ago and went where we wanted to stay. Better room, better pool, better!

EIE: does this sound familiar, there was more but I cut it short? I thought the same back in 2020--scripture for the next expounding thought- ""this remnant (144,000) from 1919, has become a part of the universal organization that is God's wife..
This makes God's woman, wife, Zion - capital of Jerusalem above with 144,000.
Then we are told, Christs bride is the New Jerusalem. How can that be?. Then to top it off, these remnants will have power over mankind but non have paid the ransom as Jesus had. They did not die for the world of mankind..
Christs bride - God's woman????? Jesus marries his MOTHER?"
Have I reached this understanding correctly- the way the society has laid it out?
Just need a serious comment... I can shake my head at this one
