I wonder how the average JW would respond to this knowledge .?
How many different versions of Christ Jesus can we present to the world to save all mankind.? According to JW`s ?
I thought the christian message was simple easy for the common people to understand ,I was obviously wrong if you believe JW`s
And i thought the GB/ JW`s only spoke with a forked tongue ,how wrong was I .!
do any of the current governing body have academic qualifications?.
thanks.
paul.
Yes, of course, they have all graduated from the higher education that is available from reading and studying the Watchtower and Awake magazines as well as the many now defunct bound Volumes of WT`s and hardcover books that have now been deemed as "Old Truths"
However the Academic Qualifications of the GB are without parallel

We all know that the WTS has some nasty teachings but most followers are harmless and now are facing persecution and problems in everyday life due to state sponsored discrimination.
fair enough point taken :
However the message Jehovah`s Witnesses take to the Russian people is abandon your hope and trust and support in your government and all the benefits you get from this Government that you currently rely upon ,whether it be health care ,age care ,pensions etc,etc,and so on .And be neutral in the conflicts of war efforts and politics.
Put your trust and hope in Jehovah`s kingdom of Christ Jesus guaranteed to you by the American based religion of Jehovah`s Witnesses .
Do you see where I am going with this post ?
Think about it.
The average JW are just pawns in the bigger scheme of things.
in 1924, judge rutherford published an article which referred to the great pyramid as "the scientific bible" and added that measurements on the grand gallery inside the great pyramid confirmed the dates 1874, 1914 and 1925.. 1925 was the famous blowout date for the return of "ancient worthies" about which the judge said, "i made an ass of myself.".
just four years later, rutherford did one of his famous about-face reversals.. whereas previously the watchtower had taught that the great pyramid was probably built by melchizedek, or shem;*.
rutherford now said the great pyramid was constructed "under the direction of satan the devil.
Simply because Jw`s re-interpret / revise their early history ,leave out the embarrassing / incriminating stuff the majority of JW`s nowadays have no Idea about the absurd teachings that were accepted as Divine truth in Russell``s and Rutherford`s days.
How many JW`s today know that the organization believed and taught in their publications that 6000 years of human history ended in the late 1800`s and that the 7th day began back then before 1914 .?
How many know about their belief in Pyramidology and their connecting it to Bible scriptures and prophecy and taught it as "Truth"
How gullible people are who believe in " past truths" .."present truths" and ..."future truths" when the nu-lite is revealed rationalising how past "truths" failed to come true or materialise .
i was told this when i was an aspiring jw, aka unbaptized publisher.
the above explanation didn't make sense to me then and it never did make sense throughout my jw career.
over time, it appeared to me the real purpose of field service time reporting was to gauge one's spirituality and for the ceo *cough* co to make sure the elders were on top of things during his visit..
S3: correction, only .016 % of jws are content with the [symbolic] blood of JC, by accepting it as partakers. The vast majority reject even that symbol, the wine. hopefully one day soon, they will reject it all.
I stand corrected waton ,we can only hope.
one or two notable points from chapter 18 of "god's kingdom rules.".
“it will never beg nor petition men for support”.

Nobody else seems to be interested that JW`s are appealing their ban in Russia ? to make a comment ?

i think this screen shot says it all... need i say more?.

“‘Zion’s Watch Tower’ has, we believe, JEHOVAH for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg nor petitionmen for support. (oh-oh!) When He.........fails to provide necessary funds, we will understand it to be time to suspend the publication.”
So why do Jehovah`s Witnesses beg and petition for monetary support at the KH meetings ,Assembly` s and International Conventions.?
Why do they continually ask for the brothers and sisters to make up a shortfall in contributions to cover the costs of providing these venues ?
Does`nt Jehovah provide ? Isn`t Jehovah their backer ?
The org’s recent 4 page letter of solicitation “advises” [demands] that all congregations should donate every excess cent to the org)
“It Will Never Beg nor Petition Men for Support”
It`s amazing what a hundred years can do to nullify what the founder of the JW religion said, C.T.Russell would be turning over in his grave by now.
