I just read on wiki that the Chinese government acknowledges the existence of over 14 million christians in China (that's double the world's JW population).

Has the Governing Body 2.0 commenced Phase I of OHP (Operation History Purge)?
by Calebs Airplane inwith the recent boe letter that atlantis posted on jwn regarding older publications that needed to be destroyed or discarded from all kingdom halls and the new on-line library on jw.org which only goes back to the year 2000, i wonder if the gb 2.0 is about to eliminate the wt library cd which contains watchtower mags all the way back to 1950. is there even a cd for 2012?
if there is, i think it'll be their last cd before they go all on-line.
either way, it clear that the gb 2.0 (aka fds) has a plan to erase any evidence of their unsustainable bs in the last 130 years....

Black Sheep... I should have been more specific but I meant the Literature Counter (not the actual KH Library that no one ever uses)... That said, they're probably considering that for Phase II...

WT: World War I started in October 1914 (not July 1914)
by Calebs Airplane inaccording to the wt, these are the actual sequence of events that led to the start of world war i:.
1) the gentile times ended on october 1/2, 1914.
2) jesus took the throne immediately thereafter.. 3) one of jesus' first tasks as the newly enthroned king was to engage in a heavenly war against satan and his demons.. 4) having won the war against satan and his demons, jesus expelled satan and his demons from the heavenly realm giving them only terrestial access.. 5) since satan is a sore loser, he became extremely bitter and decided to wreak havoc upon all the earth.. 6) filled with anger, satan then provoked the nations of the earth into a 4 year bloody battle known today as world war i. so there you have it... wwi started sometime in october of 1914 (not july 1914 as history books would have you believe).

So there you have it... WWI started sometime in October of 1914 (not July 1914 as history books would have you believe). The FDS should send an email out to all profesors of world history so that they may keep up with Jehovah's chariot...

Blondie... true... growing up, we didn't get a microwave until just before I moved out... an elder finally enlightened my mother but then glossed it over by saying something like... microwaves have safer technology than when they first hit the market... I also remember when aluminum pans were worldly...

The evolution of the INVISIBLE JESUS doctrine: a TIMELINE
by Terry inwilliam miller (1782-1849), preached that the second coming of jesus christ would occur some time between march 21, 1843 and march 21, 1844. .
miller was invited to preach his "proofs" to churches in many locations.
many heard and became convinced.. millers followers may have numbered as many as 100,000. .

Interesting sequence of events...
So basically, all of this has morphed into the WT's "current understanding" which really has no Scriptural support whatsoever but currently has Jesus' arrival count at 4.
Arrival 1... Year 1 AD... arrived as a human for the 1st time
Arrival 2... Year 33 AD... arrived as a human (or spirit?) for the 2nd time following his "resurrection"
Arrival 3... Year 1914 AD... arrived "Invisibly" to assume leadership of 1,000 years... he now has 902 years remaining.
Arrival 4... Just around the corner (again)... will arrive any day now to murder 7 Billion non-JWs (no word from the WT on whether this will include their pets).
Did I leave out any other "arrivals"???

Rick Fearon should apologise for accusing faders of being cowards
by cedars ini hate doing this type of thread.
none of us are perfect, least of all myself, and i would rather focus any criticism on the watch tower society for damaging people's lives.
however, in the short period since i've been a member of this forum i've noticed one member in particular deteriorate in his behaviour into the type of individual who threatens to undermine the credibility of the entire website.

Now that Rick is under the guise of "LuLu4YouYou" (instead of his former handle... Koolaid Man), he has no business accusing anyone of being a coward... just saying... I'll zip it now...

New Light on the GB's new elite status still NOT AVAILABLE on JW.org in other languages (8 days later)
by Calebs Airplane inso far, available in english only... i guess there is a lead time for the interpreters.... this presents an opportunity for those who attend non-english congregations to ask their jw friends important questions on this subject, have them research the wt cd and then present this new light as a "possibility".... for example, you can ask them questions like:.
what would you say if i told you that the governing body no longer represents the annointed (a.k.a the fds)?what would you say if i told you that charles taze russell is no longer considered a part of the faithful & discreet slave?what would you say if i told you that, even though the publications say the fds started in 33, they have only been around for 94 years?i'm pretty sure you will be viewed as an apostate... until this news on the annual meeting shows up in their language.
just a thought.... .

17 DAYS LATER... STILL ONLY AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH...
What's going on?
It appears non-English speaking countries aren't all that important in the eyes of the GB 2.0. After all, this IS an American religion. Why should these elitists even bother to get this NuLite translated?
Perhaps non-English speaking JWs will be soon considered the "other sheep" who will be provided spiritual enlightenment strictly on a "need-to-know" basis...
