the watchtower—study edition | september 2022. elders do not reveal confidential matters to their family members (see paragraph 11) .
elders who are known to keep a confidence are “a hiding place from the wind, a place of concealment” for their brothers.
(isa.
"We do not pressure them to tell us things that they should keep private. In addition, we appreciate our elders’ wives because they do not try to pry information out of their husbands."
Does that mean the elder's wife never finds out her husband has committed adultery?
Is the word 'should' a typo and was supposed to read 'will'.

Hi Vintage - take a look at Jan 1 WT 1911 p 1-4.
Also I note the cover says The Watch Tower, Herald of Christ's Presence, not Zion's Watchtower, so I got that bit wrong. All the same you can see C T Russell praising J P Morgan's ecumenical movement and linking it to Zionism.
Exactly what the relationship was between J P Morgan and C T Russell was I don't know. But he has subtitled that section as Morgan's Church Federation and says it was foretold in scripture and that he (C T Russell) has been pointing it out for 30 years.

Vintage I think Watchtower are still doing the Dawn message. Always looking to a New Age - its just around the corner.
Also when they removed C T Russell's pyramid, the Knights Templar cross and crown went with it. I understand the Knights Templars to be the bankers and J P Morgan backed Zion's Watchtower in order to federate all American Christian denominations following the American Civil War.
What J P Morgan was wanting was that the various denominations would be willing to forsake some cherished Christian moral values and teachings in exchange for unity and no more bloodshed.

It is.
And those who complain about being run out of Dracula's Castle for being caught with their hand in the cookie jar, haven't worked out which side Dracula is on yet.
Incidentally the pyramid in the Divine Plan of Ages points to a Draconis.

They are like vampires. Top tip, never invite them to step into your house. A lesson sometimes learnt the hard way.

I agree Vintage. I was told that one of the worst kept secrets is that many of the elders are alcoholics not Christians.
Also when you see through Watchtower's whitewash/veneer of Christianity, the moral person would never try to return. You can't.

What he believes is way off. You get kicked out for suggesting child abuse is being covered up. Or telling the elders they are behaving in an unchristian manner and being cruel. Or saying WT's 1914 doctrine is wrong.
You only get disfellowshipped for wrong doing if it is affecting the status quo. If you want to stay in you just say the right words to the elders.

Keep your fingers crossed for pandemic monkey pox (the symptomless version of course, which is even more contagious than contagion itself).

A nurse told me that one of the first thing they learnt as nurses is that viruses spread in warm damp environments. A mask causes a warm damp environment right in front of your nose and mouth. It is really bad practice to wear them.
Your lungs are excretory organs what you breath away from you, should go away from you.
The reason why a surgeon wears a mask is not to stop him getting an infection (you'd need a much more substantial face mask for that) but to stop anything from a cough or sneeze from the surgeon going into the open wound he is working on.

Grooming the young to become sex workers - the issue in UK has been avoided due to race issues but it looks like things are changing.
Anyone supporting the 'mother of harlots' could be at the point of finding themselves on the wrong side of history.
