C T Russell and His Numerology.

by Lost in the fog in

i came across this older wt which i assume c t russell wrote the article.

unlike modern practitioners of numerology who calculate a value for each letter of the alphabet, russell simply adds up the number of letters in each word to arrive at [horror of horrors] 666.. and he lists there on the page each one of the organisations that must accordingly be part of the great harlot with 18 letters [in english] in their titles, because 18 is clearly 6+6+6 or 666!

strangely he hasn't stopped to think about another possibility for an 18 letter title.

C T Russel was a delusional nutter who thought he must be right in his investigations and acquired theology involving bible interpretations because he self identified and labeled himself as god's given messenger to the people.

We now know his special ordained message was wrought with ignorance and twisted delusions.

When he died he left a richly backed publishing house ($$$) called the Watchtower Corporation and a new religion the Jehovah's Witnesses was spawned by an aggressive unscrupulous businessman/lawyer J Rutherford.

8 million people today still think this corrupt publishing organization is directed and solemnly chosen by god Jehovah as his earthly organization and are subjectively loyal to it.

Further thoughts on the new media Center project

by nowwhat? in

the organization figured out that a big building project gives the rank and file something to be engaged in and excited about.

it distracts them from their hamster wheel life.

and it buys them another 5 years until the next big thing.

When you have millions kicking around doing nothing why not spend it o\n new technology to brainwash people and build up your membership base ?

In the past the WTS used printed literature to lure and coerce people into the organization, now they use technology, which might even be more effective, combining audio and video.

The intent is the same just done differently with modern technology.

These men should bless higher education because without it they wouldn't be able to do what they are doing now.

Can a righteous God be one-sided?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

a mother and her four young daughters — the oldest of whom was 6 — died in a residential fire wednesday morning in des plaines, il.

officials said.. four young children and one adult were killed in a house fire in the 700 block of west oakton street in des plaines, jan. 27, 2021.. .

after 45 years as a jehovah's witness, this tragic story really has me really questioning if there really is a god?

Yahweh was a one sided god that supported the ancient Hebrews who worshiped him to do terrible things to people who were not his chosen people but expected his chosen ones to behave internally as righteous moral people.

Go figure ?

Do old time present day active JW`s genuinely believe in overlapping generations ?

by smiddy3 in

for the life of me i can not come to terms with old timers in the "truth" who could swallow this interpretation of scripture about an overlapping generation .. when jesus spoke about "this generation" .

are their any real bible students among younger ones any more ?.

here are 3 bible scriptures that confirm a generation is approximately 40- 50 years long give or take a few years .. 1. matt:1 :17 abraham born 2016-18 bc jesus born 2 bc approx.

Rocketman123

The overlapping generation is a false doctrine because 1914 is a false doctrine.

You could say the entire doctrinal structure of the JWS is false and you would be right in doing so and would have the bible to back yourself up.

You know the bible and the words of Jesus Christ, not that he matters.

What “Secret Sins” Do You Think Many JWs Are “Guilty “ Of?

by minimus in

i know a lot of witnesses that drink a lot!

secret sins people would confess to the elders were masturbation, dating and touching certain areas and anger issues.

some fathers/husbands looked like model figures until you heard from the family that the dictator ms were horrible at home in more ways than one..

Lets not forget pedophilia, such as fathers going after their daughters, elders doing this too.

and lying about these events saying things like " Well we didn't know it was illegal " .....Anthony Morris

I read that the Mexican government paid all expenses to fly family members
to the United States for the funeral.
The funeral home waived all their fees and the Catholic Church is helping the father of the victims any way they can.

If godly devotion directs and inspires people to care for the disadvantaged, hurt and sick, then let it be.

Humanism and compassion for one another can be draw out from various conceptual ideologies.

Should JW's Follow an Apostate?

by Sea Breeze in

wasn't ct russell an apostate seventh day adventist?.

Rocketman123

JWs are apostates from following others apostates and their inherent sins.

Of course getting a JWS to realize that is another story.

Rocketman123

With all due respect, that is not an answer, that is a pre-supposition. The OP already pre-supposes God.

Then the question should entail why has god let mankind suffer for over 2000 years when he sent his only begotten son to cure and rid humanity of its troubles and perils ?

Could it possibly be that this son of god Jesus Christ was a man made fictionalized story albeit a heart felt appealing one ?

Since Jesus himself said when speaking to his then followers that many of you will not experience death.

So all these things were to occur at the time of him speaking.

As far as we know none these things occured, all of his followers died.

Is lying a righteous virtue ?

Do You Think Trump Is Done?

by minimus in

certain forces appear to be trying to make sure donald trump never runs for president again.

some republicans are clearly abandoning trump and of course the democratic press has been saying trump is done!

is trump’s goose cooked?

Rocketman123

Oh yes most certainly, even if does try and run for the Presidency again he certainly wont be receiving much of the Republican party support..

People who voted from him in this recent election will now never vote again for the guy after the disaster at the Capitol.

I confidently doubt he would even try and run again.

He's most likely going to make an effort to sustain his business ventures and back away from politics all together.

Governor Cuomo, Mass Murderer?

by Simon in

what term would you use for a governor who enacts policies that directly cause the deaths of well over ten thousand and then covers up the death count for fear of prosecution?.

i think "mass murderer" is the correct term.. he's far, far from the "messiah" figure the media have portrayed him to be over his handling of covid.. let the lawsuits commence.. https://nypost.com/2021/02/11/cuomo-aide-admits-they-hid-nursing-home-data-from-feds/.

Sounds like a deliberate cover up to make it look like he wasn't failing in dealing with the virus.

One should never overly trust politicians.

Why ?

Because they are politicians
