  " they were proven wrong, after the fact, about 1914, 1925, 1975 and other dates should have already demonstrated to them that they were not God's channel."

  Who is 'they'? Russell? Rutherford? The board of directors until 1970?? The GB until 2000? The current governing body is not responsible for any of that. So they are not that 'they'.

  I don't get it - Marriage in WT world

  by menrov in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in wt world, a marriage is only seen (considered) as legal if it is registered in the municipality (or similar governmental organisation).

  now, if you look at the scriptures, there was no requirement to have a marriage legally registered in order to be considered married.

  is it not strange that the wt subjects themselves to and adopts an worldly arrangement setup but governments rules by satan when it comes to a marital status?.

  The Supreme Court says marriage is a constitutional right. Thus there is no need for a license or permit. If preaching is a right and we don't need a permit, then same with marriage.

  NY Tribunal Rejects Fuel Tax Refund For Religious Group
  

  By Abraham Gross · July 16, 2020, 4:41 PM EDT

  A New York nonprofit religious organization can't claim a tax refund for dyed diesel fuel purchases it made related to the construction of its world headquarters in the state, the New York Tax Appeals Tribunal ruled Thursday.
  
  In its consolidated decision, the tribunal upheld an administrative law judge ruling that denied Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York's 2015 claim for a refund of tax on petroleum businesses, saying that the organization couldn't claim the exemption for dyed diesel sold to nonprofits. The petroleum businesses tax is passed through to purchasers as part of the selling price.
  
  The judge said the organization was disqualified from the exemption because the fuel trucks that received the fuel from suppliers and subsequently fueled the construction equipment were also capable of fueling nonexempt motor vehicles, even if the organization did not allow it.
  
  The organization argued that interpretation was too narrow and would make it impossible to claim the exemption. The tribunal, however, agreed with the judge's interpretation of the limitation and said the exemption could still be claimed if a supplier directly fueled the equipment instead of depositing the fuel into an intermediary owned by the nonprofit, such as a fuel truck.
  
  As a result, the tribunal upheld the denial of a $67,000 refund for the period of Sept. 1, 2013, through Dec. 31, 2014, a $65,000 refund for the 2015 calendar year and an $11,000 refund for 2016.
  
  The case is In the Matter of Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York Inc., case numbers 827916 and 828547, in the New York State Tax Appeals Tribunal.

  The Bible says Trump will win. Daniel 2 says the feet is iron mixed with clay. The Iron is Trump, his administration and his supporters and the clay are the Democrats and those against Trump. It must continue for 4 more years to continue the prophesy unless the end comes on 11/3

  I don't think he even understands 1914, so many disbelieve it because they don't understand it. They are just attacking Nelson Barbour and not dealing with what the meaning of 1914 is.

  "So they just made one of their staunch supporter into an enemy, sounds good"

  They do that with so many loyal ones. The loyal one does something that the WT does not approve of and they get rid of that one. They make their supporters into enemies.

  "I applaud Furuli for speaking up against the Watchtower scam and deceit, what I don't understand is how he denies that the Governing Body protects pedophiles. He also writes in his book that he still beleives the JW cult is the true religion. He also defends the 607 date for the fall of Jerusalem. Typical JW doublespeak."

  The governing body does not protect pedophiles. How can they? JWs are the true religion. 607 is the date for the start of the gentile times, but not the date of the fall of Jerusalem.

  Removing Historic Monuments and Statues - Does the Term "Historical" Make it Right or Wrong?

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after further review and thought, i really don't see how removing a monument or statue that may be truly offensive to a large group of people is in some way rewriting history.. i think of germany or other parts of europe.

  you don't see swastikas on buildings or statues of hitler or mussolini or other upper level generals in public.

  would it be good for a person (think jewish) to drive around a city and see hitler in a public park, even though it is "historical?

  Doesn't the changing of history and eliminating the bad remind you of how the Watchtower has changed their history, removed things from the bound volumes, changed photographs when the people were disfellowshipped, etc.
