i was telling my extended family (also non-jws) about the pyramid near russell's grave i saw months ago.
i showed them pictures of the four sides and the interesting inscriptions along with the pictures of the founder's grave.. there are a couple of jw women who come to see my cousin every once in a while.
last week, she mentioned the pyramid.
In my opinion you'd be better off focusing on modern day Watchtower blunders, or doctrine that links to that era (i.e. pyramid lengths 'proving' the year 1914).
Hm... I'm being put before someone with more knowledge soon.
Was hoping to start with 1914 since it is one element that distinguishes them. The pyramid is definitely in the mix. Should I take it out?
"you have no idea!
yes, people hate jws!".
this statement was made to me by a jw who had just left a meeting to present the notion that they were the persecuted christians.
Couple of things I DO know...
1. I was never a JW so my "credibility" rating in this world would be pretty low anyways, wouldn't it? Additionally, I certainly wasn't at the DC where I would have learned the reason for the case being made.
2. I'm a female
(edit) 3. I'd still ask "how does it feel to know that 70 THOUSAND Christians are imprisoned just North of there?" Not to trivialize the 700, but to encourage prayer for ALL 70,700 Christians - not just the 700 affiliated with a specific denomination.
4. I made statement based on what was being conveyed to me. Being here makes me sharper. :)
Thanks, all! Even for the critical contributions.... I can take it.
As a result, I have more information on what they were told now. :)
we do well to bear in mind that among the drugs, serums, vaccines, surgical operations, etc., of the medical profession, there is nothing of value save an occasional surgical proceedure.
their so-called "science" grew out of egyptian black magic and has not lost its demonological character.... we shall be in a sad plight when we place the welfare of the race in their hands.
[1] 1. the golden age, aug. 5, 1931, p. 727.. the journal of the a. m. a. is the vilest sheet that passes the united states mail.... nothing new and useful in theraputics escapes its unqualified condemnation.
My uncle right up to his death in 1987 was promoting the no use of aluminium policy...crazy lot
No aluminum? As in foil?

They are not imprisoned for their religous beliefs they are in prison for failure to serve in the army as required by law, huge diffence.
5go, why are the other 69,300 Christians incarcerated? It's common knowledge that "Christendom" participates in military forces.

Technically it doesn't have anything to do with "Jehovah's Witnesses". It's the work of the International Bible Students
I understand what you're saying, but respectfully, I disagree. My child has her own life but was born of my womb. Without me, she wouldn't exist.

Good grief. So, tomorrow evening is the start of Tisha B'Av!
Oh, I'm sorry, for those who are not JEWISH, IT'S ONLY THE JUDAIC HOLIDAY OF MOURNING FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLES.
Scholar,
I don't know about you, but I'm thinking I'd trust that the Jews would have some semblence of knowledge as to the year their own temples were destroyed. I hear that the temples were kind of important to them.
It would require a tremendous heap of arrogance for the WTS and/or their adherents to be telling these people who have mourned this event for THOUSANDS of years that they don't know when it happened. That'd be like telling a New Yorker that 9/11 didn't happen in 2001. (Once you learn what Tisha B'Av means you'll realize how perfect my comparison was - think I just broke my arm patting myself...)
For someone who grew up with close Jewish friends and who knows how important their history is to them and how it's ingrained in them, this whole JW 607BC thing is hilarious. I mean, c'mon... really? Some American dude from the 1800's knew more about Jewish history than the Jews themselves? You'd have to be pretty gullible...
It's late so I sped through the first video. It looks like you put a lot of effort into it and I need to watch more closely.
I'll look at all of them tomorrow, Londo. :)

back in the 90's the Wt. had a letter read to all congregations about not going to russels grave site.
THAT'S dirty. Having my hands on that letter could be priceless... I wonder if that letter is in one of Atlantis' posts.

Data... now THAT'S good....
for many years I held the notion it was only jw religion who were put into the camps by Hitler. The wts never mentioned the hundreds of RC priests who were imprisoned as well.
Aw c'mon Zeb. No way!
This is what must be pushing the persecutory delusion I'm seeing.

Okay, Step 1... check. LOL
Had I known that nobody knew of this, I would have taken pictures with a better quality camera long ago!
I'll take the 15 minute drive out there and add myself to the picture to make it real. :)
Problem is, these JW ladies are visiting my cousins and don't give advance notice.

This statement was made to me by a JW who had just left a meeting to present the notion that they were the persecuted Christians. I casually typed "Christians imprisoned in Korea" in my handy-dandy ipad pulled an article and replied,
"You said 700 JWs total? Okay, so, the other 69,300 imprisoned Christians must be non-JWs... " (while pointing to the figure in the article) "We should pray for all of them."
By hanging out here, I'm getting good at finding these gems! :) I just gotta get better at not running folks off. :(
