  Was Rutherford drunk when.....?

  by Pureheart in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  have any of you read the finished mystery that was written in 1917?

  it was started by russell and completed by rutherford who published it.

  i am half way through the book and have skimmed through the majority of it.. rutherford either had to be drunk or crazy when he wrote that pitiful interpretation of revelations.

  charles taze russell, its founder, (was a presbyterian, then a congregationalist, then a skeptic, then an adventist, and finally originated his own brand).

  The Watchtower and copyrights

  by RR in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with all the publications the society publises, one wonders if they actually do copyright everything.

  let's face it, that's a lot of money to legally copyright four issues a month.

  i say legally, because anyone can wriote "copyright" on something, but it may not be protected under the copyright laws.. i've notice also that the society has trademarked "watchtower", actually they have trademarked "the watchtower announcing jehovah's kingdom," [i don't want ma accusing me of spreading lies].

  A funny thing happened at the book store

  by OrangeBlossom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i recently ordered another copy of "in search of christian freedom" as i got rid of my first one (long story) and since it had been a couple of years since i read it, i decided to get another one.. since i live in a fairly small town, i decided to give a fake name, in case someone worked at the book store that might be a jw.

  it was saturday morning (a time when all good little jw's should be in field service) so i felt it safe to go pick up my book.

  i walk into the store and headed for the counter but was stopped in my tracks by an elder and his family.

  Baptism in whose name?

  by SharonUT in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if this has been answered before, just point me in the right direction.

  matthew 28:19 says to be baptized in the "name of the father, and of the son, and of the holy ghost.

  " what is the justification used in jehovah's witnesses changing this.

  Contradiction?????

  by Yerusalyim in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on page 132 of the knowledge book it says: who are the "superior authorities"?

  paaul's words in succeeding verses show that they are human governmental authorities.

  (romans 13:1-7; titus 3:1) jehovah did not originateman's governmental authorities, but they exist by his permission.
