  The Man With a Secretary's Inkhorn - who he, and does he wear flip-flops?

  by rory-ks in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at the agm this year geoffrey jackson identified the "man with a secretary's inkhorn," of ezekiel chapter 9 as being jesus christ.

  this was declared an "adjustment" from the previous understanding that the organisation used to believe that this "man" was "the annointed.".

  has the society always taught that the "man with the secretary's inkhorn" was someone other than jesus - or is this a situation where back in the mists of time the bible students understood him to be jesus, and then rutherford (or someone) identified him as "the annointed," and now they have reverted back to their initial belief?.

  I seem to recall it was Russell himself at one point, but was later the anointed. I'm sure someone with better research skills would be able to verify.

  Yeah, you mean that big cash grab earlier this year where they got the congregations to empty their bank accounts?

  Did that money just dissolve? Are people just forgetting about that?

  Pretty obvious move with the new branch facility there. Yet more property with a nice resale value.

  THE WATCHTOWER (STUDY EDITION) JANUARY 2016

  by wifibandit in

  2. bible

  pdf .

  this issue contains the study articles for february 29 to april 3, 2016.. what about the number of those partaking at the memorial?12, 13. why should we not worry about the number of those who eat the bread and drink the wine at the memorial?12 in recent years, we have seen an increase in the number of those partaking at the memorial of christs death.

  that trend contrasts with the decrease in the number of partakers that we saw for many decades.

  The number of partakers includes those who all mistakenly think that they are anointed.

  Others may All of them (especially the GB) have mental or emotional problems that lead them to believe that they will rule with Christ in heaven.

  "I am Happy to be Controlled" - Edinburgh Elder on Cult Cart

  by cofty in

  so my wife and i were up in edinburgh for the weekend for the international festival - we had a great weekend including going to see the military tattoo at the castle.. we were walking up the royal mile watching the street performers among hundreds of thousands of others from all over the world when i spotted the cult cart in it's usual spot being universally ignored.

  feeling confident after my confrontation a couple of weeks ago we decided to go and have a chat with the two men.

  i asked them if they were keeping up with the events in australia and proceeded to share lots of information with them.
