  Anthony,

  What is it that you respect about what Jehovah's Witnesses have to say?

  Is it the fact that they believe that they are Jehovah's only chosen religion and all others will perish in Armageddon?

  Is it that the JW's can question the Bible but cannot question the organization they adhere too?

  Is it the fact that they believe only the "spirit" of God works through the organization and all other religions are part of Babylon the Great?

  Is it that JW's are told not to think independantly of the Watchtower organization? To do so is one would be marked as spiritually weak.

  Is it that those who have left the Watchtower organization because of not being able to accept the lies and false prophecies of the organization are now looked at as filthy apostates?

  Of course, they do not tell you these things when they come to your door.

  waiting gave some good advice. Check out the link she posted and get informed before respecting what the Jehovah's Witnesses believe. I say this about religion in general, not just the Witnesses. Get informed!

  Egg On Watchtower's Face

  the watchtower pr crew came to paducah last thursday and filmed an interview denouncing the recent media attention given by victims of pedophiles within the organization.

  they thought they were going to be exonerated by the mighty watchtower pr department.

  local witnesses mounted a huge call the television station effort to get them to run the sacred "pr" piece that would give them vindication from the truth.

  I am sure Jesus the heavenly Field Marshal will enjoy Rutherfords 1925 joke a lot more.

  larc,

  Maybe you could post a little more information about how old booze guzzler Rutherford made an ass of himself. I am sure Danielle will be happy if you did.

  Here's a qoute for the Satan inspired Rutherford defenders to live by:

  "The year 1925 is a date definetly and clearly marked in the Scriptures, even more clearly than that of 1914." WT 7/15/1924.p.211

  Danielle,

  Jesus did not make an ass out of himself like Rutherford did.

  Why are you comparing what Jesus spoke about with Rutherford? There is absolutely no comparison.

  Jesus did not deceive others with empty words and predictions.

  "It is to be expected that Satan will try to inject into the minds of the consecrated the thought that 1925 should see an end of the work, and that therefore it would be needless for them to do more." WT 9/1/1925,p.262

  It was Rutherford that injected into the minds of those that believed him about 1925. Rutherford must be Satan according to the WT.

  Do you serve Satan Danielle? You surely defend him!

  Danielle,

  Why should I believe Carl Klien or your Uncle, let alone you?

  The facts speak for them selves. Rutherford admitted to making an ass of himself to a few. Not publically as you stated.

  As far as the fruitage of the spirit goes, what fruit has the WT produced over the last 100 years?

  Danielle,

  When did Rutherford authorize the public retelling of his story of him making an ass of himself? Show me proof of this from the 30s as you have mentioned.

  I wonder if Rutherford was drunk off his ass when he admitted he made an ass of himself. Just a thought.

  Danielle,

  Rutherford did not publically admit that he made an ass of himself. It was done privately at Bethel. There was no word that he admitted this, as far as I know, until the October 1984 WT. Notice the word (once), "once confessed to us at Bethel". Rutherford did not say this to the Rank and file followers. He did not admit that he made an ass out of himself in public. Therefore he was only humble to a few, not many. Meaning, he was a haughty ass to many, humble to a few.

  Hope I made my point!
