I have recently read two old newspaper articles from the early 1900's where Bro Russell speaks about two companies he created.
One was the United States Realty company, and the other was the United States Investment company.
The only thing I can find that comes close today is the United States Realty and Investment Company which was established in 1927.

Let's look at that scripture, ISA 43:10, in context.
Note:
Isa 43:10 "'You are my witnesses,' declares Jehovah" is a reminder about what God had done and will do.
Vs 1: God reminds them that he bought them and they belong to him. (Jacob and Israel)
Vs 2: God promises to protect them
Vs 3: God reminds them that Egypt was their ransom
Vs 4: God tells them they are precious in His eyes
Vs 5-7: God assures them of his continued being with them
Vs 8-9: Now, here's the key: God issues a challenge to the nations and asks them to produce THEIR witnesses to see who is right: "Let all the nations assemble in one place,..."
"Let them present their witnesses to prove themselves right"
Vs 10: God then says to the Israelites, "YOU are my witnesses."
This wasn't about naming a group of people. This was about who is right and who is wrong. Who could produce witnesses for themselves that could truthfully claim to have been a saviour, protector, etc.
This was God's challenge to the nations, and He names the Israelites as HIS witnesses to that fact.
Then Isa 62:2 adds "The nations will see your righteousness, O woman, And all kings your glory.
And you will be called by a new name, Which Jehovah's own mouth will designate"
This was fulfilled in Acts 11:26 - "the disciples were by divine providence called Christians."

Corney: there is no causal link. It would've happened anyway.
There is no possible way you could know that of course - it is just your opinion, guided by your bias.
It's a bit like saying that a wasp swarm would have happened whether you whacked the nest with a stick or not. Maybe it would have, but by whacking it you guarantee a response.

“Millions now living will never die”
by HappyBlessedFree inso i’m just reading the part in ray franz book “crisis of conscience” about the 1925 prediction of “millions now living will never die”.. ofcourse all witnesses are very familiar with this campaign.
yet none of us ever had an issue with it, including myself.
since the booklet was published in 1920, we are one year away from 100 years from that time.

When the WT got everyone to spam Russia with letters, this forum pointed out the consequences of that recklessness.
There are more "true prophets" on this forum than there are in bethel. Actually let me change that. There is more common sense on this forum than you will find in all of the "glorious ones".
