  What Do You Think Will Be The Next Big Change In The Watchtower?

  by minimus in

  i think there will be a change in the 144000 belief.

  too many witnesses think they have a heavenly hope.

  maybe 1914 will be discarded too.. what is your watchtower prediction?

  That Pastor Russell was right all along and that Judge Rutherford was the "Evil Slave"

  ten years ago, truthseeker and his family and other witnesses who were moving to different congregations were given a congregation leaving party at a community hall in new jersey.

  i had been planning my slow fade from the congregation for a while.

  i grew up in the south coast of england as a third generation jw and moved to america in july 2001. .

  I was in Northern New Jersey too. With lots of Bethelites. I stepped down and walked out and never returned, that was 30 years ago.

  I don't regret it!

  what is included in the publisher cards and other information when you transfer from one congregation to another?

  i was privately reproved and may be moving to a congregation where there are brothers i rather not know why i was privately reproved.

  is the fact i was privately reproved visible but not the reason why?

  As far as I'm aware, EVERYTHING goes. In fact, the elders within both congregations will eventually talk. Your new elders will no doubt want to know personally from your old elders what type of person you are.

  Any information about an apostate from the 30s?

  by paradiseseeker in

  2. friends

  here in spain we have just had a special visit from the central branch representative (well i'm not sure what his position is) and in his talk he mentioned an episode in which an apostate and his supporters were expelled from bethel in the early 30s under rutherford's rule.

  i didn't catch the name, it was something like "shutter" or "shulter".

  this event was mentioned to bring attention to a woman who was very close to this apostate and just because of that she was unfairly expelled from bethel as well, but she was "humble" and "content" enough to leave the matter on jehovah's hands and she was reaccepted in bethel after a while.

  so i just finished watching the netflix series "seven seconds", about a police cover up of a black teenager killed by a police officer in a hit and run.

  it was filmed in jersey city, nj at the end of the last episode as the camera panned the area, they showed the jersey city assembly hall.

  i actually helped restore that building and helped in building the addition..

  Watchtower History Gem: I Found When Maria Got Her Teaching Certificate

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i consider myself an amateur watchtower history buff.

  i have always read that maria frances ackley russell, charles taze russell's first and only wife, went to a teacher training college and was a teacher for a number of years before marrying russell.

  but, i have never seen proof that she truly did finish college and became a certified teacher.

  I've been affiliated with an independent Bible Students group, they are NOT associated with any of the organized groups like the DAWN or the PBI. Just a small group that gets together on Sunday in private homes and study the scriptures.
