They don't say Jesus arrived they say he became present. Then they say presence has no beginning and no end (yes it does but that's how they spin it). They say he comes after his presence starts. Ie they skip the arrival bit, put the cart before the horse (presence before coming) and hope you are too dumb to notice the games they are playing with words.

1914 Questions
by sweetyj inim not sure if this has already been asked here but i have some questions about 1914. if jesus arrived "invisibly" in the year 1914 why do the anointed partake of the emblems?
why didn't they stop in 1914?.
if jesus is ruling in heaven then why are the anointed still on earth?

Would it be correct to equate Faith and belief in any God with superstitious belief ? I believe so.
by smiddy3 intheir are millions of peoples all around the world who believe in one god or another christian and non christian.. all of them pray to their gods for this, that, and the other.
by far the majority never hear god answer them audibly ,however most assume he answers their prayers or not , by what transcribes next in their lives.. you pray for what is right according to god and he answers your prayers ,otherwise your prayers are not answered .. those few who who do claim to hear the voice of god audibly are usually found to have mental problems ,either physical or emotional.. if you do good you will be rewarded either now or in the hereafter , if you do bad you will feel the wrath of god and his judgments.
i equate this with superstitious beliefs ,what do you think ?.

This is not what I believe it's just info to give you an idea of the way things seem to be going.
Faith is Wifi.

Nice try.
I wonder if, with their focus on audio visual, the GB will set up their own pay-to-comment video. If they are short of money it would be another income stream. Alternatively they can delegate the talk show to Bethelites who they are letting go, so the Bethelites can pay their rent and get some food.

Pete
Hassan was pursuing a poetry degree
The thing about poetry is you can make things up. Fantasy - like the GB does - but claim they are special and in touch with God. Some say a poet should be king. I think their logic goes like this - real poetry is real science.
From what I can see it all leads to Shamanism in opposition to Jesus Christ who is the Word of God.

If using the mail system to spam Mr Putin was a suped up door-to-door work - what could the audio visual be? Didn't they get info from UN to put in Awake and WT? So their channel could carry UN stuff.

Yes, plenty. Most of them.
One in particular stands out though - Marc Cora made a video about it. An elder throws congregation member under the bus by betraying them big time. The elder who did the betrayal was from my old cong and he had been horrible to a number of us.
He left our congregation and a bro wrote to the new cong saying this man should never be appointed as an elder ever again and explained what had happened in our cong. But it all got overruled by London Bethel.

Circa 18 centuries before the the Pennsylvania corporation came into existence a first Annual Meeting took place at Pentecost 33 CE.
I doubt there was a chairman at Pentecost 33 CE. But I bet their was a chairman for this one.
At Pentecost 33 CE they only had 'a' governing body. But 2021, WT has THE Governing Boty.

Is he trying to get publicity for a book he has written? If so, he could do worse than examine the tactics of C T Russell.
