  It's one thing to inform the elders... but following up to make sure you get disfellowshipped is taking it to a peronal level... that's really vindictive...

  hi folks, good morning.

  july 2013 wt study edition has been discussed and commented on at length here in jw.net and in cedar's blog (jwsurvey.org).

  won't go to technicalities as significant amount of stellar arguments have cast doubt on the new light, let alone break wt's claims anew.. .

  Lately, they've been following that text with Micah 7:7...

  They'll basically say something like:

  'When the time is right, Jehovh shines his light brighter (Pro 4:18) so that his people can gain an "up-to-date" understanding of the deep things of the Bible. So we should always wait on Jehovah (Micah 7:7) for the newest understanding instead of running ahead of the Slave.'

  I still can't believe I used to fall for this crap.

  I noticed so many unbiblical teachings and so many things wrong with the Organization years before finally leaving.... blood policy, disfellowshipping policies, field service reports, the elders' fakeness during the CO visit... the list goes on and on....

  But I kept holding on because of one thing.... 1914

  As silly as this sounds, I attributed all the negative things to "imperfection" and thought that this must be Jehovah's Organization because he allowed Russell to "predict" 1914...

  But when I read Gentile Times Reconsidered, I became furious... How dare they flat out lie to all of us like that? I became even more furious when I discovered that the 2,520 year (7 Times) calculation actually originated with John Aquila Brown in 1823 (not Russell 50 years later)

  That was it for me... I immediately started my fade... Actually, it was more like running for the exit and never looking back.

  What did the Watchtower really predict about 1914 ?

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in zions watchtower 1896 december 15th, russell's comment on an article in the n.y observer which rightly cast doubt on the imminent formation of a jewish state in these words:.

  come, and that although palestine will again become cultivated.

  and prosperous, to the jews it may alwavs be a land of promise.".

  The 2010 DVD "Faith In Action" mentions on two (2) occasions that the Bible Students looked forward to 1914 as the year that Jesus would take the throne decades in advance... of course, we now know this is completely false as they had been taught that Jesus took the throne in 1874 and it wasn't until the late '20s or early '30s that Rutherford changed 1874 to 1914.

  But the best quote in this DVD is this precious gem from Anthony Morris the Turd:

  "The fact that they (the Bible Students) were able to pinpoint that year (1914) is just phenomenal".

  Of course the Bible Students didn't "pinpoint" anything... They merely followed Russell who copied the Gentile Times (7 X 360 = 2,520) calculation from Barbour who copied it from Miller who copied it from a book written by John Aquila Brown in 1823 called "The Even Tide"...

  If I had only known all of this 20 years ago... oh well...

  Assembly/Convention Accounting

  2. friends

  just having had my circuit assembly recently, i felt that the expenses in a watchtower-owned building seemed extremely over-inflated.

  over $9000 for two days.

  there were approximately 750-800 in attendance each day.

  I wonder how many district conventions have declared "deficits" before the 3rd day this year... that post-lunch announcement seems to have become the norm in recent years... I think the Watchtower Corporation took a page from a Pavlov dog-conditioning book in order to "condition" JWs to reach for their wallets after enjoying a meal... wouldn't surprise me...
