having at various times during past years donated to the watch tower bible and tract society all of my personal possessions except a small personal bank account of approximately two hundred dollars, in the exchange national bank of pittsburgh, which will properly be paid over to my wife if she survives me, i have merely love and christian good wishes to leave to all of the dear members of the bible house familyand all other dear colaborers in the harvest workyea, for all of the household of faith in every place who call upon the name of the lord jesus as their redeemer.

however, in view of the fact that in donating the journal zions watch tower, the old theology quarterly and the copyrights of the millennial dawn scripture studies books and various other booklets, hymn-books, etc., to the watch tower bible and tract society, i did so with the explicit understanding that i should have full control of all the interests of these publications during my life time, and that after my decease they should be conducted according to my wishes.

i now herewith set forth the said wishesmy will respecting the sameas follows: .

RR,

You mentioned that my intent is to discredit (everything you say).
This of course is a lie in itself.

I have no axe to grind with you or any of your BS friends. I do have an axe to grind with ones that push pseudo fantasy and declare it TRUTH. If one follows your BS friends as I have and a few others, they eventually see how things are distorted by you and others of your faith.

Because my posts were continually edited or removed from the PRESENT TRUTH FORUM by the moderator who I see as a control freak, I no longer post on that forum. I hope that Defender's revamping of his (THE DEVINE PLAN AND ITS CHRONOLOGY) book will be on the internet for others to see. I would be intersted in seeing the changes compared to his first original. I still have the copy he sent me a few years ago.

Also, I am still waiting for the history book you have been writing. Hopefully it will be backed by facts and not speculations that change as Russell's dates have.

Say hello to the gang for me.

MadApostate,

I would also like to see whatever proof RR has to substantiate his claims.

So, you have dealt with RR also! What other (BS) Bible Students have you dealt with if any?

Great qoutes from JuDgE for A day RuThErFoRd

by Scorpion in

"the size of the nose, as also the size of the eyes, is not without significance.

the small-nosed man cannot have a judicial mind, whatever his other excellencies may be.

and a man whose nose upturns can no more be expected to administer justice than a pug dog can be expected to act as a shepherd.".

Golden Age 1/19/1921 p.224

"Tonsillectomy is called a minor operation. If so, getting well is a double major. If any overzealous doctor condemns your tonsils go and commit suicide with a case-knife. It's cheaper and less painful."
Golden Age 4/7/1926 p.438

"Air baths are good for preventing colds. What you do is strip naked mornings and evenings and then bob up and down for awhile."
GA 2/10/1926 p.310

"If you spend 15 minutes reading each of Rutherfords books you would get more pleasure than you would reading the Bible for a whole year"

DA'd myself today

by Pierced Angel in

friends

well, i did it.. it's official and i'm relieved.. the elders wanted to try talking to me once again, but after awhile it was obvious that they were only interested in changing my thoughts not answering any questions.

so, i just calmly asked if i could disassociate myself.

they acted stunned and they got tears in their eyes, but i told them that i had already grieved and was ready to move on with life.

Scorpion

Good for you. I bet there will be a few in your congregation that will envy your decision. Time may tell, it did with me.

Why is it stressful to be a Witness?

by Mindchild in

i would honestly appreciate any feedback of why, in simple terms, you feel there are stresses to being a witness.

the source of stress you have in mind doesn't have to be gigantic.

i'm looking to catalog a list of all the things causing stress to witnesses.. here is a list of ten things i could think of, and there are probably many more.

Marilyn,

You posted your message while I was typing mine. I did not see yours till after I posted. We said about the same thing, almost!

11.Constant demands made on their time, emotions, and self control.
12.Fear of not living up to the organizations expectations.
13.The stress of having to go to meeting after meeting, hour after hour, week after week, year after year and listen to basically the same repetitious ideas.
14.Being looked at as different or strange by school and work mates.
15.The stress of having to fart at the Kingdom Hall in the middle of a crowded meeting.

Was Jesus a False Prophet?

by JosephAlward in

the bible says that a prophet who predicts something that does not occur is speaking words that the lord did not speak, but that is exactly what jesus did, if you can believe the author of mark.

here are the relevant verses:.

"when a prophet speaks in the name of the lord, if the word does not come about or come true, that is a word which the lord did not speak;" (deuteronomy 18:22).

TR,

I saw a special about two years ago similar to the one you mention. I remember seeing a few of the people that handled the snakes get bit. There was one person that had been bit over 50 times over the course of a few years. Maybe the people were immune from being bit so many times, maybe the snakes were milked before handling, maybe they are God's chosen people and they are the true religion. [8>]

Personally, I think they are a bunch of nut cases.
