wasn't ct russell an apostate seventh day adventist?.
Actually JWS today follow J Rutherford who established the name Jehovah's Witnesses (1935) .
Some the JWS doctrines were created by him such as 1914 and its newly revised meaning of that year to what C T Russell propagated.
Both men were indeed apostate false prophets nevertheless.
what song takes you back there?.

Smiling faces at the Kingdom Halls
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.
Its an interesting phenomenon when you reflect just how much number counting has existed in the WTS/JWS religion from Pyramidology to all the specific and numerous countings going on at Congregations such as hours in service, literature placements, attendance at meetings and Assemblies, those who get baptized, partakers and attendance at the Memorials. etc.
This one religious publishing organization sure does a lot of counting of numbers.
The WTS heads and down have many times used these number sums as assumed guilt and pressing obligation toward how well people are participating in service, which relates to an individuals faithful and righteous devotion to Jehovah.
There is an active numerology constantly being applied within the JWS religion.
At the end of this activity the GB heads can take measure of how well their own perceived power, control and money are being developed and hopefully sustained.
so the cult is getting into film production.
i saw evans piece on the jws opening a studio in australia.
one thing i see is if they use the people who are drawn to acting one they will create internal stars.
Stephen Lett comes to mind...
Yep
His facial expressions come off so honest, true and sincere which I'm sure is probably the reason why the rest of the GB members use and exploit him to give talks on delicate subjects to soften and appeal as being true and honest.
How can anyone doubt or question the truth and honest coming from a guy like this ?
i remember knowing some jws that expressed their own personal viewpoints regarding what a scripture meant that was at odds with society teachings.
in the 60 and 70’s, that was pretty much tolerated until the great purge in 1979 and 1980. as a matter of fact, it wasn’t unusual for witnesses to get together and discuss personal questions and viewpoints they might have.
it wasn’t unusual to send letters to the society asking what was considered the right or wrong view.
To be honest I think more people leave the Org. as quiet apostates evaluating the doctrines themselves made by the WTS as incorrect and false.
I'm also in the belief there are more people who get Dfed for sins rather than be outspoken apostates.
so the cult is getting into film production.

Actually I'm in the opinion that when people visually see the great FDSL ones speak they may be more accepting to what the glorified spiritual ones say, in other words better brainwashing.
The book 1984 comes to mind Big Brother is watching.

So then we can expect many gay JWS to be in these video productions ???
The people they pick for these video productions are untrained actors with muted skills, which in reality doesn't matter because everyone there viewing and performing are brainwashed within the cult.
Most of these video productions are done in ancient biblical times when men and woman dress differently ie. beards on men etc., so these people are not going to be recognizable outside for these productions generally speaking.
out of morbid curiosity...what is the jehovah's witnesses current view about the vaccine rollout?is the watchtower society advocating the position to take the covid vaccine?
is it a personal 'conscience' matter?
how many jws are refusing the vaccine does anyone know?
They the GB that is, are probably not too keen and appreciative of the vaccines coming out now which will save millions of people's lives, for that kind of ruins the plagues are a sign of end times they have been preaching as of late.
Dam higher education had to spoil it for them once again.
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?
Sure is a lot of craziness on the forum these days
As an answer to the OP, Trump is done politically.

Russell was indeed a speculative theorist who grabbed mostly other people's ideologies and concepts, Pyramidology being one.
Christ's return was seen by himself and others at the time something to preach and sell through literature publishing.
I still find it surprising that those men actually thought the great pyramid of Giza was the stated monument god left for mankind, in light of the real ancient Egyptian religious use and practice ?
Nevertheless selling Jesus's return and the great day of Armageddon was sold and preached all throughout the 20th century by the WTS and it still does by the WTS/JWS organization to this day.
The truth to this date setting by the WTS (1874, 1914, 1975 etc.) was that it was an act of unscriptural apostasy against Jesus's own instructions for preaching his new Kingdom order.
