I think theres definitely some weird stuff out there. I've heard stories from reputable people too, things that happened to them personally. I think much of this stuff does have a scientific reason, but not all of it.

Some of this information is new to me. I remember most of it from crisis of conscience. So interesting...I remember when I was very young my best friend (whose father was a big shot) told me about the Russelites, how they STILL followed Russell and never went along with his successors after he died. How they met in people's houses to study Russell's old books and how pathetic that was. But after hearing what really happened, who are the real apostates?
It's just like a country with a king who chooses his successor, but someone else jumps in and usurps the throne. The witnesses are the pathetic people who followed the USURPER.
And what a guy he was. ' You have to follow US because you will die otherwise!! We are God's chosen!! All those other religions are EVIL and SATANIC!! Oh, and the prophets of old are going to be resurrected and going to need somewhere luxurious to live, and it's going to happen in 1925, so buy me a mansion for them, and I'll live there until it happens, if you don't mind....'

The "Final Push" before the GT!!! I think they REALLY believe it!
by DATA-DOG ini don't know if i have shared this with everyone, but there seems to be a new theocratic term, at least in my circuit.. the term is "final push.
" wtf does it mean?
well, an eldub said that the gb are "all in" with warwick and they might spend all their money on the project.

I still don't understand why the r&f think the governing body has some sort of special insight into the future, some mysterious connection that tells them Armageddon is almost here. Have they ever been right in the past? Haven't they constantly changed doctrine and what their 'truth' is?? WHAT have they done that deserves such reverence. WHAT? -

by John Aquila inhindsight: .
many times because of the shock of learning ttatt, a person loses it.
you want to scream and tell the whole world that the watchtower is a big lie.

I would have talked to fewer inactive but iffy witnesses...I too often assumed they were safe. But noooo, you never know who wants to go back, and who is safe. Be careful! -

Half banana, I was trying to remember 'inside the kh''s name too while reading this thread. Thanks for remembering for me! He had said he was on some sort of mission and he wouldn't share what it was. I remember wondering if he was a society spy. -

I think perhaps we should band together and put this book back in print. I have no idea how to actually do such a thing, but I will contribute to the cause if one of you does know and is willing. -

FREEDOM OF SPEECH???? WITNESSES????
Um, no. Much much less than other Christians, actually. Go try to even register on an active witness site. if successful, see how long you last.
They call this site here 'apostate' and call us all sorts of hateful names, wouldn't say hi to us on the street.
