A SERIOUS investigation of the identifying date of CHRIST'S RETURN

by Terry in

step one.

the foot of the ladder can be moved closer or farther from the wall.. the closer to the wall the higher the ladder reaches.. but, the length of the ladder never changes.. .

height is a function of the angle created when you scoot the base closer or farther from the wall.. .

For the sake of accuracy, I just thought I should mention it's 587 (or 586) and not 537.

He really nailed it - “It’s a religious story told for religious purposes.”

I read that someone who was recently at Bethel said that the literature they recieved was destroyed. It also seems there is a letter to the elder body concerning this. Does anyone have any info about this?

Personality types and religious adherence

by EdenOne in

i was going through the personality types of the briggs-myers test (take the free test here) and noticed how some types are naturally inclined to follow rules and expect order, while others are inclined towards feelings and emotional appeals, other are naturally inclined to help out others ... what do you think?

are there certain basic personality types that pre-dispose the individual to adhere to a certain type of religion ?.

Rutherford's Paradise - Film Footage of Beth Sarim

by RayPublisher in

i just added this to my youtube channel, jwstruggle.

i know that we have some resident authorities on the history around jf rutherford and i am anxious to see what they make of it.

(leolaia i'm talking to you lol!).

Thanks Clarity! I just had a chance to do a little searching and came across the info you posted. This info pins down the film to 1939-40, and the "Judge" would be dead a couple of years later. so he would have been at 70 in the films containing the construction work.

The whole Beth Sarim, Beth Shan thing is really interesting to me. I don't remember any mention of their being any kind of underground tank at Beth Shan

though. Is anyone else familiar with this? Great video, thanks again for sharing it!

Sure glad you found that and are sharing it with us. After the picture of the little house on the hill that is labeled as being Beth Sarim, the next pictures and footage of the construction are of Beth Shan. The one picture says "goat barn" which housed the shelter would confirm that. Wonder what the big tank was for that they were burying? Possibly fuel? There was an airstrip on the propery too but I think that may have come at a later date.

I have never seen moving pictures of Rutherford before, he did like to use the tongue didn't he. Just like it is now, when people know they are on being filmed they do strange things so for me personally I will try not to attribute the actions to being drunk. Funny they would show him drinking whatever out of the cup, seems out of place.

MAN is a late arrival--why blame him for everything?

by Terry in

almost every watchtower publication we've ever seen begins in the garden of eden.

we are told the earth was created for man.

we are told man was given a paradise and that his disobedience introduced to the world sin and death.

Very good Terry! Thanks
