  The BIBLE's about RUSSELL & SERVANT GIRL!

  by Focus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what the bible's about: russell and his servant girl.

  what follows are quotations from "the finished mystery" (volume vii of the studies in scriptures), a publication by the people's pulpit association (1917-20, 1924, 1926-7) for the watchtower society.

  (matt, 24:44-47; luke 12:42-44.)..

  Focus,

  I have dealt with several Bible Students over the years that basically idolize Russell. When this topic is brought to their attention, they always jump on the band wagon to support Russell and claim whatever he did with Rose Ball was innocent. They are like dealing with a bunch of mindnumbed robots. They still think the Great Pyramid is Gods witness to mankind and reveals God's Divine Plan.

  The JWs will defend Russell even though they know little about what he taught. They do it out of a sense of obligation to the Society.

  Even when you show them that Russell changed the measurements and the dates he set, they come up with some lame-ass excuse to crap away Russell's false prophecies. Russell gave the impression that he was God's mouthpiece and faithful slave.

  WT 7/15/1906 pages 3811 and 3821

  WT 4/15/1904 p. 3356 WT 6/1/1905 p.3570 WT 12/15/1916 p.6024

  Now the WT does not acknowledge most of what Russell believed. The Bible Students see J.Rutherford as the evil slave. There is a division within them that binds them together, if that makes sense.

  Anyway, good post!

  Elders- "Trained or UnTrained- WHICH IS IT??

  by JT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the biggest error wt has continued to make for the last 120yrs is they leave a wonderful paper trail behind - where a serious student of study will have no problem following and seeing that so many of their lofty claims simply don't fly .

  case in point - are the elders trained or untrained clergymen as it were?.

  well for those of you who have never served as an elder allow me to share with you what elders are told about their training.

  JW's -tree huggers worst enemy

  much of the work i do is at vacant, repossessed, and abandoned houses.

  almost without exception, i find wt literature that was "placed" there.

  what a disingenuous way for a jw to get rid of wt rags.

  TR,

  I agree with you. The waist involved with all of the literature, especially the amount of magazines printed must be stupendous.

  In one year, I collected and received from a few friends, over 1100 WT and AFAKE magazines that were collected mainly from laundry mats and retired and elderly apartment complexes in my town. The number of magazines that I have received over the past few years is up in the thousands. The JWs in my area have no idea that I have people collecting the magazines when they leave them at places.

  What a waist!

  What about:

  "WE cannot take part in any modern version of idolatry- be it worshipful gestures toward an image or symbol or the imputing of salvation to a person or an organization." WT 11/1/1990 p.26

  "identtifying themselves with Jehovah's organization is essential to their salvation." OUR KINGDOM MINISTRY, 11/1990,p.1

  There are so many contradictions, it is hard to pick which ones to post.

  the times in which jesus lived are well documented.

  we know a lot about the historical context of the world in which he lived.

  Trevor,

  Christianity is not the only faith that has been ingrained into the minds of it's followers as the true faith.

  There is no such thing as "the true religion", only those that think they are, and these are the ones that are the most dangerous.

  unclebruce,

  As I said, it is different view. What about the site is limp wishfull thinking? Please be specific.

  I did not help you clear up a Bible prediction. I did help you clear up a misunderstanding with the post "Fighting for gory glory- who killed Goliath?" Posted by you on 5/18/2000, 5:29am

  You had a question about 1 Samuel 17:49-50 and 2 Samuel 21:19
  Maybe that will help.

  Take care unclebruce
